Height adjustable desk system with privacy divider improvements

A sit-stand desk system, comprising a base;

• a platform having a working surface positioned to face upwardly in an installed position of the desk system;
• a height adjuster supporting the platform on the base to raise and lower the platform in a vertical direction when the desk system is in the installed position;
• a privacy divider movable in the vertical direction between a raised position and a lowered position;
• a linkage coupling the privacy divider to the platform such that the privacy divider is raised by the linkage together with the platform as the platform is raised by the height adjuster and lowered by the linkage together with the platform as the platform is lowered by the height adjuster;
• wherein the linkage coupling the privacy divider to the platform has a transmission ratio such the privacy divider moves at a faster rate in the vertical direction than a rate at which the height adjuster moves the platform, whereby a distance between an upper edge of the privacy divider and the platform increases as the platform and privacy divider are raised together and the distance decreases as the platform and privacy divider are lowered together.

A sit-stand desk system, comprising:

• a base;
• a platform having a working surface positioned to face upwardly in an installed position of the desk system;
• a height adjuster supporting the platform on the base to raise and lower the platform in a vertical direction when the desk system is in the installed position;
• a privacy divider movable in the vertical direction between a raised position and a lowered position;
• a linkage including a selectively switchable coupler that is switchable between (a) a coupled state coupling the privacy divider to the platform such that the privacy divider is raised by the linkage together with the platform as the platform is raised by the height adjuster and lowered by the linkage together with the platform as the platform is lowered by the height adjuster, and (b) a de-coupled state in which the privacy divider is de-coupled from the platform such that the platform moves independently without moving the privacy divider.

A furniture system, comprising:

• a wall system comprising:
• a wall for extending vertically to bound at least one side of a workspace;
• and
• a privacy divider mounted to the wall to be movable in a vertical direction between a raised position and a lowered position;
• a sit-stand desk system comprising:
• a base;
• a platform having a working surface positioned to face upwardly in an installed position of the desk system;
• and
• a height adjuster supporting the platform on the base to raise and lower the platform in
• a vertical direction when the desk system is in the installed position;
• and
• a linkage coupling the privacy divider to the platform such that the privacy divider is raised by the linkage together with the platform as the platform is raised by the height adjuster and lowered by the linkage together with the platform as the platform is lowered by the height adjuster.
