In the specification and drawings an accessory cart is described and shown with a base, a housing element that is connected to the base and extends upward from the base, and a platform, which is connected to the housing element with the height of the platform being automatically adjustable.

Accessory cart

A height adjustable workstation for positioning a monitor and a keyboard relative to a work surface. The height adjustable workstation can include a stationary column positioned below the work surface and a movable column coupled to the stationary column and vertically extendable above the work surface. The movable column can support a keyboard support and/or a monitor mount. A counterbalance assembly, which is positioned below the work surface and operatively coupled to both the stationary column and movable column, functions to offset the load carried by the keyboard support and/or monitor mount to provide effortless height adjustment.

A storage device having a locking mechanism includes a housing having a frame assembly. A storage device is movably received in the housing. An actuator is connected to the frame assembly, the actuator operating to move a cam member. A latch is connected to the frame assembly and is moved by contact with the cam member from a latched position preventing access to the storage device in the housing to an unlatched position permitting access to the storage device. An unlock-all mechanism operates to move the latch to the unlatched position without operation of the actuator.

Storage device with locking mechanism

A lock mechanism for manually or automatically fixing a slide bar in either of two positions. A lock body has a key barrel adapted to rotate a lock cam in a first rotational direction. A latch is biased in a closed position, the latch being adapted to move to an open position when the lock cam is rotated in the first rotational direction. A slide bar is fixable in a locked position and an unlocked position, wherein the slide bar is biased in the unlocked position. A knob slider is adapted to move the slide bar into the locked position such that the latch moves to the closed position and engages a notch of the slide bar to fix the slide bar in the locked position. A servo motor is adapted to rotate a servo cam in a second rotational direction to move the slide bar into the locked position, and is adapted to rotate the lock cam in the first rotational direction to move the slide bar into the unlocked position. The key barrel is adapted to rotate in the first rotational direction to move the slide bar into the unlocked position. The lock mechanism can be made smaller, more compact, less expensive, have fewer parts, and be easier to manufacture.

A keyboard support mechanism containing a novel articulating arm mechanism for permitting vertical movement of the keyboard shelf. The articulating arm mechanism has six major components: (1) a mounting bracket, (2) a mounting bracket support in combination with a swivel bracket, (3) a shelf bracket, (4) an upper arm, (5) at least one side arm, and (6) at least one stopping surface. The upper arm links the shelf bracket and the mounting bracket; the side arm and the stopping surface cooperate to keep the shelf bracket (and hence the keyboard shelf) at a constant angle relative to the ground.

A gas spring adapted for automatically re-adjusting to a predetermined position, the gas spring incorporating a delay mechanism so that the automatic re-adjustment is delayed by a predetermined amount of time, and articles incorporating such a delay gas spring, such as a height adjustable chair. In one embodiment, the delay mechanism comprises a delay valve.

The articulating arm mechanism has six major components: (1) a mounting bracket, (2) a mounting bracket support in combination with a swivel bracket, (3) a shelf bracket, (4) an upper aim, (5) at least one side arm, and (6) at least one stopping member. The upper arm links the shelf bracket and the mounting bracket; the side arm and the stopping means cooperate to keep the shelf bracket (and hence the keyboard shelf) at a constant angle relative to the ground.

A universal filter apparatus is described which provides, in a single unit, an anti-glare and/or anti-static screen and frame which is adaptable to monitors of varying sizes. The universal filter apparatus includes a filter screen mounted to a housing. The housing includes a front side, a top side, and at least two lateral sides, each of the at least two lateral sides extending perpendicularly from the front side. A elastically deformable nonresistant securing device is attached to each of the two lateral sides to allow the apparatus to be easily installed on monitors of varying sizes.
