  • Sensor assemblies coupled to sliding assemblies for position sensing
    Patent number: 11946781
    Abstract: According to examples, an apparatus may include a base, a sliding assembly slideably coupled to the base, and a sensor assembly coupled to the sliding assembly. The sliding assembly may moveably support a control panel and the sensor assembly may sense positions of the sliding assembly relative to the base. The sensor assembly may include a first sensor to sense that the sliding assembly is in a first position relative to the base, and a second sensor to sense that the sliding assembly is in a second position relative to the base. A sensed state of the first sensor and a sensed state of the second sensor may be used to determine that the sliding assembly is in a third position relative to the base.

  • MOVABLE CONTROL PANEL ASSEMBLIES
    Publication number: 20230244268
    Abstract: According to examples, a control panel assembly may include a base plate, a rib extending above the base plate, and a control panel support device to be positioned in sliding arrangement with the base plate. The control panel support device may include a groove having a first section and a second section, the first section having a first width and the second section having second width. The second width may be smaller than the first width. In addition, the rib may be inserted in the groove when the control panel support device is positioned in sliding arrangement with the base plate, in which the rib is to engage the second section of the groove when the control panel support device is extended away from the base plate, and in which the engagement between the rib and the second section of the groove is to reduce rotational movement between the control panel support device and the base plate.
