  • Publication number: 20140353134
    Abstract: A switch for controlling a control circuit or an operating current of electric-motors in linear gear drives includes: a switch casing, having at least an upper part including keys, and a lower part for forming a receiving space; a circuit board incorporated in the receiving space with micro-switches including a switch casing and a spring-biased push-rod therein; wherein, when the keys are actuated by a user, the push rod actuates the micro-switch to control a control circuit or operating current, and wherein the switch contains at least one locking element, transferable between a locking position, which locks the keys, and a release position, which releases the keys. To prevent damage to a switch from pressure forces during actuation, the locking device is formed such that the pressure applied to the key is transferred onto the switch casing and/or the circuit board plate over as wide an area as possible.

  • Patent number: 8763483
    Abstract: A dual electromotive furniture drive has a housing with a drive motor, which is drive-coupled to a rotation speed reduction gear mechanism, which moves rotation-locked spindles longitudinally, wherein the rotation speed reduction gear mechanism and the spindles are arranged in the housing. An end switch limits the end positions of the spindles. A pressure piece is arranged on the spindles on the side facing away from the rotation speed reduction gear mechanism. The pressure piece is operatively connected to an adjusting element which is fixedly mounted on a moving furniture component. The spindles are inclined relative to the horizontal at an obtuse angle. The dual electromotive furniture drive is configured to adjust the back rest and/or the foot rest of a slatted frame. This design has a low parts count, and optimally transfers the internal forces, in particular through the housing walls.
