Abstract
An apparatus has an ergonomic-device support assembly including a stationary frame assembly configured to be received and selectively positioned underneath a desk relative to a user. The ergonomic-device support assembly is configured to receive and support an ergonomic device. This is done in such a way that the ergonomic device is selectively movable relative to the user of the desk between an extended-deployment position and a retracted-storage position.
Claims20
An apparatus for placement relative to a desk and a user, the apparatus comprising:
- an ergonomic-device support assembly including a stationary frame assembly being configured to be received and selectively positioned underneath the desk relative to the user;
- and
- the ergonomic-device support assembly being configured to receive and support an ergonomic device in such a way that the ergonomic device is selectively movable relative to the user of the desk between an extended-deployment position and a retracted-storage position;
- and
- wherein:
- the ergonomic-device support assembly is configured to receive and support the ergonomic device, in which the ergonomic device includes:
- a first ergonomic device;
- and
- a second ergonomic device being positioned relative to the first ergonomic device;
- and
- the stationary frame assembly is configured to be placed in a relatively stationary position on a working surface;
- and
- the stationary frame assembly is configured to receive and support the first ergonomic device in such a way that the first ergonomic device is selectively movable relative to the stationary frame assembly and also relative to the user of the desk between the extended-deployment position and the retracted-storage position;
- and
- the ergonomic-device support assembly further includes:
- a movable frame assembly being movably coupled to, and supported by, the stationary frame assembly in such a way that the movable frame assembly is movable relative to the stationary frame assembly;
- and
- the movable frame assembly being configured to receive and support the second ergonomic device in such a way that the second ergonomic device is selectively movable relative to the stationary frame assembly and also relative to the user of the desk between the extended-deployment position and the retracted-storage position.
An apparatus for placement relative to a desk and a user, the apparatus comprising:

- a second ergonomic device being positioned relative to the first ergonomic device;
- and
- the stationary frame assembly is configured to be placed in a relatively stationary position on a working surface;
- and
- the stationary frame assembly is configured to receive and support the first ergonomic device in such a way that the first ergonomic device is selectively movable relative to the stationary frame assembly and also relative to the user of the desk between the extended-deployment position and the retracted-storage position;
- and
- the ergonomic-device support assembly further includes:
- a movable frame assembly being movably coupled to, and supported by, the stationary frame assembly in such a way that the movable frame assembly is movable relative to the stationary frame assembly;
- and
- the movable frame assembly being configured to receive and support the second ergonomic device in such a way that the second ergonomic device is selectively movable relative to the stationary frame assembly and also relative to the user of the desk between the extended-deployment position and the retracted-storage position.
An apparatus for a desk and for a user, the apparatus comprising:
- an ergonomic device;
- and
- an ergonomic-device support assembly including a stationary frame assembly being configured to be received and selectively positioned underneath the desk relative to the user;
- and
- the ergonomic-device support assembly being configured to receive and support the ergonomic device in such a way that the ergonomic device is selectively movable relative to the user of the desk between an extended-deployment position and a retracted-storage position;
- and
- wherein:
- the stationary frame assembly includes opposed track sections fixedly mounted to opposite vertically extending lateral sidewalls of the stationary frame assembly;
- and
- the opposed track sections are configured to facilitate linear slide movement of the ergonomic device;
- and
- the opposed track sections, in use, slidably interface with opposite lateral sides of the ergonomic device.
An apparatus for a desk and for a user, the apparatus comprising:
- an ergonomic device;
- and
- an ergonomic-device support assembly including a stationary frame assembly being configured to be received and selectively positioned underneath the desk relative to the user;
- and
- the ergonomic-device support assembly being configured to receive and support the ergonomic device in such a way that the ergonomic device is selectively movable relative to the user of the desk between an extended-deployment position and a retracted-storage position;
- and
- wherein:
- the stationary frame assembly includes a roller mechanism having a torsion spring device;
- and
- the roller mechanism is fixedly mounted in the interior of the stationary frame assembly;
- and
- the roller mechanism is configured to selectively move and assist movement of the ergonomic device relative to the ergonomic-device support assembly;
- and
- the roller mechanism is configured to be attached to the ergonomic device;
- and
- the roller mechanism is configured to retract the ergonomic device;
- and
- the roller mechanism is configured to selectively move and assist the movement of the ergonomic device relative to the ergonomic-device support assembly.
