The fastening devices can be designed to assist in securing the lifting device. 120to connect it to a supporting structure (e.g., a wall, a partition, a freestanding frame, or the like) (e.g., to attach it, fasten it, or the like). The frame 140 can be designed to include components of the wall mounting assembly 100 absorbs and can provide support in other ways.
[0008] The sliding mount 130 can be designed to interact with components of the wall mounting assembly 100 e.g. the work surface 110 , connects and thereby supports them. The sliding bracket 130 can be used with the frame 140 be movably connected so that the sliding mount 130 is trained to work within the framework 140 to be movable. A section of the sliding bracket 130 can be used with a section of the frame 140 are engaged and thus the sliding mount 130 movable with the frame 140 connect. The frame140 defines in an example a keyway and the sliding bracket 130 a wedge. The keyway can be dimensioned and shaped to receive the wedge. The wedge can be dimensioned and shaped so that it engages with the keyway. The engagement of the wedge with the keyway can help to secure the sliding fixture. 130 with the frame 140 to connect in a movable way.
[0009] As described in this revelation, the sliding mount can 130 in relation to the framework 140 move, e.g. linearly, thereby changing the height of the sliding bracket 130 (and components attached to the sliding mount) 130 are attached, such as to the work surface 110 ) can be changed.
[0010] The lifting device 120 can provide a counterweight mechanism 230 included and the counterweight mechanism 230 can be found in the height adjustment mechanism200 It should be included. The counterweight mechanism. 230 can one or more springs 231 Included. The counterweight mechanism. 230 can a wheel cable 232 (e.g., a pull element). One end of the wheel cable 232 can be used with the sliding mount 130 be connected and the other end of the wheel cable 232 can be done with one or more springs 231 be connected.
