Patent number: 10514664Abstract: A device for controlling height-adjustable tables, wherein a plurality of tables is connected to said device. The use of this device allows all tables that are connected to the device to be controlled using only one control unit that is also connected to said device. Accordingly, equipping each table with a separate control unit is rendered superfluous by this device. This makes the entire design simpler and more cost-effective.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2016Date of Patent: December 24, 2019Assignee: KESSEBÖHMER PRODUKTIONS GMBH & CO. KGInventor: Melf Hansen

Patent number: 9993069Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2016Date of Patent: June 12, 2018Assignee: KESSEBÖHMER PRODUKTIONS GMBH & CO.

Patent number: 9560910Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2015Date of Patent: February 7, 2017Assignee: KESSEBÖHMER PRODUKTIONS GMBH & CO.
