Filed:

Aug 2, 2011

Appl. No.:

13/196754

Inventors:

Rand D. Weyler - Lynnfield MA, US
Stephenie K. Strogney - Somerville MA, US
Richard R. Curran - Manchester MA, US

International Classification:

A47B 51/00

US Classification:

211153, 211134

Abstract:

A vertical lift system provides an ergonomic system for raising and lowering a lift carriage which contains non-slidable and/or slidable shelves. By having interchangeable modular raceways providing electrical, liquid, vacuum, gas and/or data delivery systems, equipment and appliances can be easily connected to these delivery systems without interfering with the up/down movement of the vertical lift carriage. The vertical lift system also includes a height adjustable work surface which can be raised/lowered based on an individual's personal preference. Some of the shelves can be manually extended or electronically controlled. The vertical lift system also allows the monitoring, processing and collecting of data from multiple pieces of equipment. The vertical lift system can connect to local and global networks and systems, such as the Internet or other communication systems or networks, other shared equipment, and can monitor alarm and environment data.
