Abstract

A height adjustment system includes a first controller to control a first drive assembly of an adjustable desk frame and a second controller to control a second drive assembly of an adjustable monitor mount. The first controller is communicatively coupled to the second controller to synchronize activation of the first controller and the second controller such that an adjustment of a height of the desk frame causes a corresponding adjustment of a viewing height of the monitor mount and an adjustment of the viewing height of the monitor mount causes a corresponding adjustment of the height of the desk.

Claims (20)

1. A height adjustment system, comprising:

a first drive assembly operable to adjust a height of an adjustable desk frame;

a second drive assembly operable to adjust a viewing height of an adjustable monitor mount; and

a controller communicatively coupled to the first drive assembly and to the second drive assembly to synchronize activation of the first drive assembly and the second drive assembly such that an adjustment of the height of the desk frame causes a corresponding adjustment of the viewing height of the monitor mount and an adjustment of the viewing height of the monitor mount causes a corresponding adjustment of the height of the desk.

2. The height adjustment system of claim 1 , wherein the controller is in communication with the first drive assembly through one of a wired connection or a wireless connection.

3. The height adjustment system of claim 1 , wherein the controller is in communication with the second drive assembly through one of a wired connection or a wireless connection.

4. The height adjustment system of claim 1 , wherein:

the first drive assembly comprises at least one of an electric motor, an electronically controlled hydraulic cylinder, or an electronically controlled gas spring; and

the second drive assembly comprises at least one of an electric motor, an electronically controlled hydraulic cylinder, or an electronically controlled gas spring.

5. The height adjustment system of claim 1 , wherein the monitor mount includes a telescoping arm.

6. The height adjustment system of claim 5 , wherein the second drive assembly controls a length of the telescoping arm.

7. The height adjustment system of claim 1 , wherein the monitor mount comprises a display mounting interface.

8. The height adjustment system of claim 1 , wherein:

the desk frame is a freestanding desk frame;

the first drive assembly is coupled to the desk frame to control the height of the desk frame; and

the second drive assembly is coupled to the monitor mount to control the viewing height of the monitor mount.

9. The height adjustment system of claim 1 , wherein:

the desk frame is a sit stand converter workstation desk frame;

the first drive assembly is coupled to the desk frame to control the height of the desk frame; and

the second drive assembly is coupled to the monitor mount to control the viewing height of the monitor mount.
