Height-adjustable stand
A stand includes a frame, a sliding member, and two torsion springs. The frame has two guide rail subassemblies. The sliding member is slidably attached to the guide rail subassemblies. A first end of each torsion spring is connected to the frame, and a second end of each torsion spring is connected to the sliding member to provide an elastic force to overcome the total weight of the sliding member and a load.

3. The stand of claim 2 , wherein the housing farther comprises two side plates extending perpendicularly from opposite sides of the base plate, the at least one guide rail subassembly is at least two guide rail subassemblies fixed to the side plates.
4. The stand of claim 1 , wherein the at least one guide rail subassembly comprises an outer guide rail connected to the frame, an inner guide rail connected to the sliding member, and a ball bearing positioned between the outer guide rail and the inner guide rail.
5. The stand of claim 4 , further comprising a connecting member, ends of the connecting member are connected to the inner guide rail of each of the at least one guide rail subassembly, and the first connecting subassembly connects the connecting member.
6. The stand of claim 1 , wherein the first connecting subassembly further comprises a connecting shaft, the connecting shaft comprises a main portion, a first tip, and a second tip; the first tip and the second tip are extended from opposite ends of the main portion; the first tip is fixed to the connecting member; the second tip is fixed to the wheel.
7. The stand of claim 4 , wherein the number of the at least one torsion spring is two, the two torsion springs comprises a first torsion spring and a second torsion spring.
8. The stand of claim 7 , further comprising a second connecting subassembly and a third connecting subassembly, the second connecting subassembly connects an end of the first torsion spring to the frame, and the third connecting subassembly connects an end of the second torsion spring to the frame.
9. The stand of claim 8 , wherein the third connecting subassembly comprises a connecting shaft and a sleeve, the connecting shaft fixes the end of the second torsion spring to the frame, the sleeve is sleeved on the connecting shaft, and positioned between the second torsion spring and the frame.
10. The stand of claim 1 , wherein the at least one torsion spring comprises a coiled portion and two hooks extending from opposite ends of the coiled portion.
