Adjustable height workstation

An adjustable height workstation comprising:

• a mast comprising a top, a bottom, and more than one of a lock pin receptacle disposed along the mast from proximate the top to proximate the bottom;
• an accessory surface is configured to slide up and down along the mast, the accessory surface comprising a retractable lock pin assembly, the retractable lock pin assembly comprising at least one lock pin that when inserted into the lock pin receptacle abates the accessory surface from moving along the mast, at least one of a conduit connector comprising a first conduit connector end, and a second conduit connector end, the accessory surface interconnects with the first conduit connector end;
• a work surface interconnects with the second conduit connector end, the work surface comprising a release rail, at least one of a release cable connects the release rail to the retractable lock pin assembly;
• a tapered pully assembly is attached proximate to the top of the mast, the tapered pulley assembly comprising a counterbalance wheel, and more than one of a lifting wheel, in operation each of the lifting wheel is arranged in progressively larger diameters to provide varying amounts of counterbalance torque, the counterbalance wheel and each of the lifting wheel is fastened together forming a unitary assembly that rotates around a central axis;
• and
• a counterbalance assembly is affixed to the mast, the counterbalance assembly comprising at least one of a spring, a counterbalance cable connects the spring to the counterbalance wheel, a lifting cable connects the accessory surface to the lifting wheel, wherein combination of the accessory surface and the work surface height is adjustable, allowing the work surface to descend to the floor where a user can work ergonomically on the work surface at floor level.

An adjustable height workstation method comprising the steps of:

• repositioning a release rail to change height of a work surface, the adjustable height workstation comprising the work surface, a mast comprising a top, a bottom, and more than one of a lock pin receptacle disposed along the mast, one or more of a conduit connector comprising a first conduit connector end, and a second conduit connector end, and an accessory surface that is configured to slide up and down along the mast, the accessory surface comprising a retractable lock pin assembly, the retractable lock pin assembly comprising at least one of a lock pin, the work surface interconnects with the second conduit connector end and the accessory surface interconnects with the first conduit connector end, the work surface comprising the release rail, a release cable connects the release rail to the retractable lock pin assembly, a tapered pully assembly is attached proximate to the top of the mast, the tapered pulley assembly comprising a counterbalance wheel, and more than one of a lifting wheel, in operation each of the lifting wheel is arranged in progressively larger diameters to provide varying amounts of counterbalance torque, the counterbalance wheel and each of the lifting wheel are fastened together forming a unitary assembly that rotates around a central axis, a counterbalance assembly is affixed to the mast, the counterbalance assembly comprising at least one of a spring, a counterbalance cable connects the spring to the counterbalance wheel, a lifting cable connects the accessory surface to the lifting wheel;
• causing, by way of a user and by way of the release cable, the retractable lock pin assembly to release the lock pin from the lock pin receptacle;
• allowing, by way of the user, combination of the accessory surface and the work surface to slide up and down the mast;
• and
• releasing the release rail, by way of the user, causing the retractable lock pin assembly to insert the lock pin into the lock pin receptacle abating the accessory surface from moving along the mast, wherein combination of the accessory surface and the work surface height is adjustable by the user in counterbalanced manner.
