Abstract
A lift table that consists of a base and a table attached on the right and left by pairs of scissor links. The table is raised through the use of a compression spring. The spring is compressed through the weight of the load on the table, thus creating a lift table which maintains a set height for the load on the table. The spring is positioned with one end attached to either the top or bottom end of one of the pair which form the scissor-link mechanisms, and with the other end connected to the other link, which intersects the first. One end of the spring is attached to a screw slider mechanism which is adapted to move along the length of the second link.

An adjustable lift table comprising, in combination:
- (a) a base;
- (b) a support table;
- (c) a scissor-link mechanism comprising a first link hingedly attached to said base and slidably attached to said support table and a second link pivotally connected to the first link and hingedly attached to said support table and slidably attached to said base;
- (d) a compression spring coupled to said scissor-link mechanism;
- and
- (e) means for providing continuous adjustment to an angular disposition of the compression spring with respect to said scissor-link mechanism consisting of a screw connected to either one of said first and second links and adapted to adjust a position of said compression spring with respect thereto.
