Abstract:
A braking device for a height-adjustable item of furniture is provided, within a gas pressure spring. The braking device includes a piston, which is arranged within a cylinder and in which a first fluid passage is provided as well as a piston rod and a second fluid passage, wherein a maximum speed of the height adjustment can be controlled by regulating the fluid passage within the gas pressure spring.
Abstract:
An adjustable gas pressure spring (9) comprises a gas pressure spring portion (91, 92), a gas reservoir (96) and a connecting means (94) fluidically connecting the gas reservoir (96) and the gas pressure spring portion (91, 92) with each other. The spring force of the gas pressure spring portion. (91, 92) is adjustable by means of pressure equalization with the gas reservoir (96) and/or the ambient pressure. Such a gas spring may he provided in an adjustable column (10, 104, 105), in particular an adjustable table column. Such a table column may in turn be provided in a height-adjustable table (1, 101).
Abstract:
A locking device for a height-adjustable furniture column includes a switching lever, an actuating element, an engaging element having a plurality of locking recesses, and a slide, in which an engaging means is guided. An item of furniture includes the locking device. A method for adjusting the height of the furniture item.
Abstract:
A circuit controls a height-adjustable table. A current load acts on the table plate and is measured by a force-sensitive sensor and serves as control signal of a control according to the invention. Derived from this signal, a collision of the electrically height-adjustable table with fixed objects is recognized. Control signals are also detected, which are inputted by an operator of the table in the form of applications of force onto the table plate. Here the table or respectively the control device is situated in a state of rest until the user of the table exerts a brief force impulse onto the table plate, i.e. presses once onto the table plate. Thereafter, the control changes from a state of rest into an operating state and waits for control inputs. When the user now presses from above onto the table plate, the latter moves electrically downwards.
Abstract:
A method for recognition of an occupancy situation of a furniture comprising monitoring a sensor signal which corresponds to a force effect on the furniture when the furniture is occupied and releasing the furniture and changing the state of the occupancy situation from Occupied to Released when the force effect is below a threshold during an entire predetermined period.
Abstract:
A height adjustable furniture piece includes a device for connecting a belt to the furniture piece. The device includes two support elements, each including a first extension member and a second extension member that is telescopically arranged with respect to the first extension member. The belt is fixed to the first extension member and a spring element connects the belt and the first extension member. The belt is deflected by pulleys such that a relative displacement between the first extension member and the second extension member of the first support element results in a synchronous relative displacement between the first extension member and the second extension member of the second support element. The spring element includes a spring force that assists lifting of the second extension member against the force of gravity.
