Abstract:
1. A height adjustable desktop, comprising: a base having a fixed peripheral wall extending upwardly from the base to define a cavity; a cover defining a horizontal work surface for the desktop; and a lift mechanism supporting the cover relative to the base, wherein the lift mechanism comprises: wherein motion of the linear actuator causes rotation of the connecting rod, and rotation of the connecting rod directly rotates the lift arms, wherein the actuator is configured to selectively activate the linkage to rotate the lift arms from a relatively horizontal position to at least one substantially fixed upright position, thereby raising the work surface from a sitting height to a standing height, and wherein the cover rests upon the peripheral wall at the sitting height to fully enclose the cavity, and the cover is spaced above and offset forward of the base at the standing height, wherein each pair of lift arms includes a front lift arm and a rear lift arm, wherein the front lift arm and the rear lift arm each rotate in the same direction as the cover is raised and lowered.
