Display positioning apparatus and method
First Claim
1. An apparatus for positioning first and second electronic displays and a keyboard relative to a work surface, the apparatus comprising a base including a bottom surface for supporting the base upon the work surface;
- a support column extending upward from the base;
a mounting portion having an upwardly extending portion;
a lift mechanism configured to movably couple the mounting portion and the support column so that the mounting portion is translatable with respect to the support column, thereby providing the mounting portion with an ascending and descending range of travel relative to the work surface, the lift mechanism configured to bias the mounting portion in a raised position;
a crossbar assembly configured to directly couple to the upwardly extending portion of the mounting portion, the crossbar assembly including first and second display mounts configured to support the first and second electronic displays.

Abstract
An apparatus for positioning an electronic display is described. The apparatus can be combined with an existing work surface to provide a multi-position workstation. In some cases, the apparatus includes a mounting portion configured to support an electronic display and a keyboard. The mounting portion may be movable with respect to the work surface between multiple positions, including for example, a sitting position and a standing position. Methods for positioning an electronic display and a keyboard are also included.
