Abstract
A height-adjustable desk is disclosed. Exemplary implementations may include a work surface, a left-side support structure, a right-side support structure, a core body, and a working body that provides the work surface. The core body may include lifting mechanisms such that the work surface of the desk may be positioned for a person in a standing and/or sitting position. The working body may include a control interface configured to be manually engaged by the user, to control lifting and/or lowering of the work surface of the desk.
Claims16
A desk configured to be positioned for a user in a sitting position and/or a standing position, the desk having a rear side, a left side, and a right side as viewed by the user, wherein the desk comprises:
- a working body that provides a work surface of the desk, wherein the work surface is disposed at a current height, wherein the current height is adjustable;
- a left-side support structure disposed at the left side of the desk, wherein the left-side support structure supports at least part of the desk, and wherein the left-side support structure is stationary during adjustments of the current height of the work surface;
- a right-side support structure disposed at the right side of the desk, wherein the right-side support structure supports at least part of the desk, and wherein the right-side support structure is stationary during the adjustments of the current height of the work surface;
- a core body disposed vertically at the rear side of the desk, wherein the core body is coupled to the left-side support structure and coupled to the right-side support structure, wherein the core body houses at least part of one or more lifting mechanisms, wherein the core body is stationary during the adjustments of the current height of the work surface except for the one or more lifting mechanisms;
- and
- a control interface configured to receive user input from the user;
- and control circuitry configured to:
- (i) detect the user input received by the control interface;
- and
- (ii) responsive to detection of the user input, control the one or more lifting mechanisms to either (a) lift the working body and increase the current height of the work surface, or (b) lower the working body and decrease the current height of the work surface.
A desk configured to support adjustments of a work surface of the desk, wherein the height-adjustable desk has a front side, a rear side, a left side, and a right side, wherein the desk comprises:
- a working body, a core body, a left-side support structure, a right-side support structure, a control interface, and a control circuitry;
- wherein the working body includes the work surface of the desk, wherein the work surface is disposed at a current height, wherein the current height is adjustable;
- wherein the working body is configured to:
- (i) adjustably couple to the core body at the rear side of the desk, such that the core body remains stationary during the adjustments of the work surface;
- wherein the working body includes (a) a work surface support structure, (b) a front facing center cavity, and (c) one or more motor housings;
- wherein the core body is disposed vertically at the rear side of the desk,
- wherein the core body extends laterally between the left side and the right side of the desk, wherein the core body is coupled to the left-side support structure and coupled to the right-side support structure;
- wherein the core body includes one or more lifting mechanisms, wherein the one or more lifting mechanisms are adjustably coupled to the working body through the one or more motor housings;
- wherein the one or more lifting mechanisms are configured to raise and lower the working body;
- wherein the left-side support structure is disposed at the left side of the desk, wherein the left-side support structure supports at least part of the desk, and wherein the left-side support structure is stationary during the adjustments of the work surface;
- wherein the right-side support structure is disposed at the right side of the desk, wherein the right-side support structure supports at least part of the desk, and wherein the right-side support structure is stationary during the adjustments of the work surface;
- wherein the control interface is configured to receive user input from a user;
- and
- wherein the control circuitry is configured to:
- (i) control the one or more lifting mechanisms during the adjustments of the work surface;
- (ii) make at least two types of detections regarding the user input received by the control interface, wherein the at least two types of detections include a first type of detections and a second type of detections;
- (iii) responsive to a first detection of the first type of detections, increase the current height of the work surface;
- and
- (iv) responsive to a second detection of the second type of detections, decrease the current height of the work surface.
