Problems solved by technology

However, gas springs are very expensive and over time, gas can leak
Also, gas springs require a lot of space, e.g. the length of the arm, which can be an additional expense in some applications, e.g. in hospitals

Abstract

The invention includes a display positioning assembly comprising a support, a display supported by the support, and a balance mechanism carried by the display and operatively connected to the support. The invention also includes an article for selectively exposing a display comprising a generally planar support surface having a first side and a second side opposite the first side. A balance mechanism operatively connected to a display may be positionable between a storage position proximate the first side of the generally planar support surface and an exposed position proximate the second side of the generally planar support surface. The invention also includes an assembly for arresting the free fall of an object. The assembly may comprise an outer slide in sliding or rolling engagement with an inner slide, and a brake comprising at least one pivot member may be coupled to the inner slide.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to an apparatus for supporting a load in a vertical or horizontal or other direction or for providing a constant or varying predetermined force. Background technique [0002] Ergonomic considerations have grown in importance in recent years for several reasons. For example, workers are often more productive when working in an ergonomically friendly environment. Additionally, when workers are forced to work in ergonomically inappropriate environments, they can be injured and / or perform at substandard levels. [0003] Many jobs involve working with a personal computer and / or monitor. In these jobs, the personal computer and / or monitor may be used by multiple operators at different times of the day. In some environments, one computer and / or monitor may be used by multiple people of different sizes and with different preferences during the course of a day. Given the differences in people's sizes and their prefere...
