Adjustable height casegood and desk

Abstract

A casegood such as a pedestal desk or credenza is provided with a height adjustment mechanism. The height adjustment mechanism is attached to an outer wall of the casegood. By manipulating the height adjustment mechanism, the distance of the casegood's work surface from the floor can be adjusted so as to provide an ergonomic and efficient work area.

1 . A sit-to-stand return comprising: 
 a sit-to-stand work surface;    attachment means for attaching the sit-to-stand return to a casegood;    a work surface height adjustment mechanism for moving the work surface between a first lower position and a second higher position; and    a sit-to-stand return height adjustment mechanism for adjusting the height of the first lower position relative to a floor.    
   
   
       2 . The sit-to-stand return of  claim 1  further comprising an end slab.  
   
   
       3 . The sit-to-stand return of  claim 2  where the end slab is located proximal to the sit-to-stand desk height adjustment mechanism.  
   
   
       4 . The sit-to-stand return of  claim 3  further comprising a connecting wall for attaching the sit-to-stand desk to a casegood.  
   
   
       5 . The sit-to-stand return of  claim 4  further comprising a support attached to the sit-to-stand work surface.  
   
   
       6 . The sit-to-stand return of  claim 5  where the attachment means are integral with the support.  
   
   
       7 . The sit-to-stand return of  claim 6  where the work surface height adjustment mechanism is located at a first end of the support and the sit-to-stand desk height adjustment mechanism is located at a second end of the support.  
   
   
       8 . The sit-to-stand return of  claim 7  where the sit-to-stand return height adjustment mechanism telescopes within the support.  
   
   
       9 . The sit-to-stand return of  claim 8  where the work surface height adjustment mechanism is a torsion mechanism.  
   
   
       10 . The sit-to-stand return of  claim 9  where the work surface height adjustment mechanism includes a crank.  
   
   
       11 . The sit-to-stand return of  claim 10  where the work surface height adjustment mechanism includes an electric motor.
