Abstract
A desktop workspace that adjusts vertically includes a work surface platform, a base configured to sit on an existing platform, such as a desk, a height adjustable mechanism including at least one set of arms that connect at a pivot point(s) creating a scissoring motion to raise and lower the said work surface platform to various heights. A locking and unlocking mechanism may connect to the height adjustable mechanism. In some cases, the apparatus includes an adjustable mechanism to support items such as a keyboard. In some cases, the apparatus includes elements to raise items such as a monitor to an additional height.
Claims32
A desktop workspace that adjusts vertically, comprising:
- a work surface platform;
- and
- a height adjustment mechanism configured to raise and lower the work surface platform relative to an existing platform, the height adjustment mechanism including:
- two sets of arms that connect at scissoring pivot points creating a scissoring motion when raising and lowering the work surface platform to various heights;
- platform pivot points fixed relative to the work surface platform and connecting the work surface platform and the two sets of arms;
- a first sliding mechanism including a wheel on an end of a first arm of the two sets of arms between the end of the first arm and the existing platform, the first wheel being directly rollable on top of the existing platform;
- a second sliding mechanism on a first end of a second arm of the two sets of arms between the first end of the second arm and the work surface platform,
- wherein a second end of the second arm includes a pivot directly locatable on the existing platform;
- an element that connects the two sets of arms to one another;
- and
- a gas spring attached to the element that connects the two sets of arms to provide a force to assist in elevation of the work surface platform,
- wherein the gas spring extends between the work surface platform and the element that connects the two sets of arms.

- wherein a second end of the second arm includes a pivot directly locatable on the existing platform;
- a third sliding mechanism on an end of a third arm of the two sets of arms between the end of the third arm and the existing platform, the third sliding mechanism being directly moveable on top of the existing platform;
- a fourth sliding mechanism on an end of a fourth arm of the two sets of arms between the end of the fourth arm and the existing platform, the fourth sliding mechanism being directly moveable on top of the existing platform;
- an element that connects the first arm to the second arm, wherein the element is attached on the same sides of the first arm and the second arm as the first sliding mechanism and the second sliding mechanism relative to the scissoring pivot points;
- and
- a gas spring attached to the element that connects the two sets of arms to provide a force to assist in elevation of the work surface platform,
- wherein the gas spring extends between the work surface platform and the element that connects the two sets of arms.
