Pedestal for a height-adjustable work station

A modular work station includes a dual column construction with a separately adjustable work surface supported on each column. Each of the columns utilizes a tubular telescoping construction and can provide as many as three individual modes of adjustable movement to the work surface, including lift, tilt, and horizontal back and forth movements. Supporting columns can be selected with varying functions to provide extremely broad versatility. The lift and tilt functions are preferably provided by motor driven linear actuators mounted within the telescoping column with appropriate controls to prevent contact between adjacent work surfaces when one or both of the surfaces is also provided with back and forth sliding movement.

Adjustable work table and modular system for the assembly thereof

A clamp assembly for adjustably mounting a video monitor or CPU to a supporting table which is tiltable out of a horizontal plane includes a pair of main clamp members which may be slid onto the table to hook around and extend between the front and rear edges of the table and a pair of angular cross clamp members threadably and adjustably attached between the main clamp members. The cross clamp members are adapted to be initially slid apart from one another a distance sufficient to allow a monitor to be placed therebetween and over the main clamp members. The cross clamp members are then slid toward one another and into engagement with the front and rear edges above the monitor base and tightened in position to hold the monitor against inadvertent sliding movement as a result of tilting of the table. The entire clamping assembly may be mounted and utilized without cutting, drilling, or in any other way disturbing the integrity of the table top.

A repositionable paper stop for the edge of the top surface of a table includes a long body having one flat planar side and another side having an upstanding edge portion which can be alternately repositioned in a groove in the top surface of the table between an inactive position with the flat planar side flush with the table surface and inactive position with the upstanding edge portion extending above the table surface to act as a conventional stop. The stop member can be manually displaced from either position by a slidable lift pin manually movable into the groove from below the table and into contact with the underside of the stop member in the groove.

A snowthrower comprising a discharge chute having an outer end, a deflector mounted on the outer end of the discharge chute for pivotal movement relative thereto about an axis, and a mechanism for selectively pivoting the deflector relative to the discharge chute, the mechanism including a guide rod having opposite first and second ends, a pin connecting the first end of the guide rod to the deflector at a point spaced from the axis, a compression spring telescoped over the rod and including a first end fixed relative to the discharge chute and a second end fixed relative to the second end of the rod, and a cable for selectively moving the rod in the direction from the second end to the first end.
