  • Patent number: 11278113
    Abstract: A modularized fast assembly lift desk includes a preassembled module, a matched module and a clamping member. The preassembled module (100) includes a combined body formed by connection between a desktop platform and a transverse beam. The matched module includes a lift column including a motor housing. The clamping member includes a fixed connecting end and a movable squeezing end. When a user assembles the lift desk, the fixed connecting end of the clamping member is engaged with the preassembled module. The movable squeezing end of the clamping member is pressed to generate a squeezing force between the movable squeezing end and the motor housing. The motor housing and the preassembled module are fixedly connected to implement locking between the preassembled module and the matched module.

  • Patent number: 10415618
    Abstract: A quick lock-release mechanism for assembling a table plate to table legs that includes a lower ring, a cap, two locking wings and a two springs. The lower ring includes a central hole and two opening pins. The cap includes a circumferential rim and two pins. The locking wings include an axial hole, a hole for receiving a tension screw and a sloping side. The springs and the locking wings are designed to be assembled onto the spring wings pins. The tension screws are designed to be screwed into the holes for receiving the tension screw. The springs push the locking wings toward the center of the mechanism so that the locking wings cover a part of the central hole and when rotating the cap relatively to the lower ring the spring wings pins exert force on the locking wings and push back the locking wings.
