Abstract
A vertically adjustable free-standing work station including a first pair of vertically oriented, free-standing, spaced rails (5) mounted on feet which rest on the floor, a second pair of vertically oriented rails (6) individually, slidably, interlockingly disposed in the first pair of rails (5), a pair of support brackets (3) individually mounted on the second pair of rails (6), a work surface (4) supported by the support brackets (3), a pair of interconnecting channels (7, 8) for respectively interconnecting the first and second pairs of rails (5, 6) and a drive mechanism coupled between the interconnecting channels to move the channels toward or away from each other so as to attendantly displace the work surface (4).
Claims10
A vertically adjustable free-standing work station comprising:
- a first pair of horizontally spaced vertically oriented stationary free-standing support rails mounted on corresponding substantially horizontal support feet;
- a work surface;
- a pair of support brackets for supporting said work surface;
- a second pair of elongate, vertically oriented rails individually slidably mounted to said first pair of support rails, respectively;
- means for individually mounting said support brackets and thus said work surface to said second pair of rails;
- an elongate, horizontally oriented, movable channel member interconnecting said second pair of rails;
- at least one elongate, horizontally oriented, fixed channel member interconnecting said first pair of support rails;
- and
- drive means coupled between said fixed channel member and said movable channel member for selectively displacing said movable channel member upward or downward to attendantly vertically displace the work surface.
A vertically adjustable free-standing work station comprising:
- a pair of horizontally spaced, vertically oriented, free-standing, telescopic support means mounted on corresponding substantially horizontal support feet, each said support means including an outer tubular member fixed to a corresponding one of said support feet and at least one additional tubular member telescopically and slidably disposed within said outer tubular member;
- a work surface mounted to said additional tubular member of each of said support means,
- an elongate, horizontally oriented, movable channel member interconnecting said additional tubular members;
- an elongate, horizontally oriented, fixed channel member interconnecting said outer tubular members;
- and
- drive means coupled between said fixed channel member and said movable channel member for selectively displacing said movable channel member upward or downward to attendantly vertically displace the work surface.
