Abstract:
A counterbalance mechanism which applies a balancing force to lift a load. The counterbalance mechanism includes an adjustment arm pivotally attached at first end to a frame and to a spring at a second end. The counterbalance mechanism further includes a travelling arm pivotally attached at a first end to the frame and connected to the spring at a second end. The counterbalance mechanism further includes one or more cables attached at one end to a container securing a load or arms securing the container. A second end of the one or more cables are attached to the travelling member or pass over a pulley attached to the travelling arm. The one or more cables transmit an assisting force to the container for lowering and raising the container. A relative position of the spring, adjustment arm, and travelling arm are adjusted in response to the load acting on the one or more cables to generally offset the load in the container.

Claim (Index 7):
A force engine operable to variably adjust a counterbalance to a load through a displacement, comprising:\n one or more energy reservoirs operable to store energy associated with displacement of the one or more reservoirs, wherein the one or more energy reservoirs generate the force to substantially support motion of the load through the displacement in an operating mode; a traveling member hingedly connected to the variable member, wherein the force generated by the one or more energy reservoirs is transferred to the load through the traveling member; a variable member coupled directly or indirectly to the one or more energy reservoirs for transferring the force from the one or more energy reservoirs to the traveling member, wherein in the adjusting mode the variable member is displaced to configure the operating relationship between the one or more energy reservoirs and the traveling member in the operating mode, and wherein displacing the variable member results in a substantially small change of an energy state of the one or more energy reservoirs; and a release interacting with the variable member, wherein in the operating mode the release fixes a position of the variable member in one of one or more positions, and wherein the release is disengaged when the force engine transitions from the operating mode to the adjusting mode.
