First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An apparatus for controlling movement of a desk or table, the apparatus comprising: a housing arranged with the desk or table; a lever configured to initiate raising or lowering of the desk or table in response to a force applied by a user, said lever comprising upper and lower lever portions each including respective channels configured to surround a pin, said pin being configured to interface with said housing to provide a pivot point about which said lever can be actuated; and control circuitry configured to instruct a motor to raise or lower the desk or table in response to actuation of the lever, and wherein when the user no longer applies the force to the lever the table or desk will stop being raised or lowered. 2. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising one or more buttons configured to program the height adjustable table/desk control mechanism. 3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the lever is arranged least partially within the housing. 4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the lever comprises a perpendicular portion and an angled portion, and the perpendicular portion is arranged within the housing and configured to interface with said control circuitry in response to movement of the angled portion, and the angled portion is configured to interact with the user.
