Patent number: 7765937Abstract: A table system including at least one primary module and at least two secondary modules. The primary module includes a tabletop plate and a plurality of crossbars disposed parallel to each other and secured to the underside of the tabletop plate. A secondary module comprises a table leg having an upper end and a plurality of interlocking and bracing mechanisms disposed at the upper end of the table leg. A primary module and a secondary module together have an attached state and an interconnected state. The interlocking and bracing mechanisms have an open state and a closed state. In the attached state, each interlocking and bracing mechanism is in the open state, and is achieved by vertically setting the primary module onto the secondary module.

Patent number: 7503626Abstract: A chair is provided which has a tiltable seat carrier and a tiltable backrest on the backrest carrier which are forcibly coupled to one another, and which has an individual adjustment feature for the tilt of the seat carrier in relation to the backrest carrier. Provided on the underside of the seat carrier is a bearing block having a slideway contour and a vertical slot in which the flange of a lifting element is mounted vertically movably, wherein the lifting element has a substantially triangular collar which slides on the substantially rectangular slideway contour when the flange moves vertically. The tilt of the seat carrier can be adjusted to be steeper or flatter by turning the lifting element, and the limit positions are completely stable such that the possibility of automatic unlocking is eliminated.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2007Date of Patent: March 17, 2009Assignee: Sedus Stoll AGInventors: Klaus Maier, Kurt Buntru, Thomas Stenzel

Patent number: 7147288Abstract: The backrest of a chair comprises a frame, a backrest support and a neck support. A membrane is clipped into the frame, and the backrest support is articulated on a tilting mechanism. The frame comprises two side parts and two cross-pieces, the lower cross-piece lying at the height of the user's lumbar vertebra. The frame and the backrest support are interconnected in one piece. The component created as a result is advantageously a plastic injection molding produced by the gas injection technique (GIT) and the plastic is a glass-fiber-reinforced polyarylamide. This overall structure of the backrest provides a high level of sitting comfort by elastic support of the back in all major regions and directions of movement, but at the same time also considerably reduces production, transport and assembly complexity and has an aesthetically impressive, distinctive form.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2004Date of Patent: December 12, 2006Assignee: Sedus Stoll AGInventors: Klaus-Peter Grasse, Manfred Schlegel, Mathias Seiler

Patent number: 6948774Abstract: A chair, such as a swivel chair for the office, has an armrest that is made up of an armrest carrier, which includes a carrier and a sleeve sliding thereon and attached to the seat at the bottom by a seat flange which can be displaced transversely to the seat direction, and of an arm support, which can be displaced longitudinally via a guide and can be rotated via a rotary part mounted in a rotary bearing. The guide is arranged parallel, but eccentrically in relation, to the axis of symmetry of the arm support. Since the rotatability of the arm support is at least 1800, it is possible to set different clear distances between the two arm supports of the chair.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2003Date of Patent: September 27, 2005Assignee: Sedus Stoll AGInventors: Klaus Maier, Michael Klaesener, Thomas Stenzel

Patent number: 6857704Abstract: In a neck support for a chair, a head cushion is articulated, via an articulation bearing, on a guide sleeve displaced on a retaining bar, articulated on the top edge of a backrest via a further articulation bearing, the retaining bar and the guide sleeve being of rectilinear design, this resulting in linear height adjustability of the neck support. The bottom articulation bearing and preferably also the top articulation bearing each comprise a cylinder on the retaining bar and two cylinders on a bearing foot or on a link plate, it being possible for the first cylinder to rotate in a controlled manner between the two second cylinders via blocks.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2003Date of Patent: February 22, 2005Assignee: Sedus Stoll AGInventors: Thomas Stenzel, Michael Klaesener, Klaus Maier

Patent number: 6832560Abstract: A work table includes a frame with a vertical central column as well as a base and a work surface, which is fastened to a support element. The height and angle of the work surface are adjustable. A joint seating device is provided on an upper end of the central column and a swivel arm is arranged in a pivoting manner about a horizontal axis of the joint seating device. The swivel arm contains another rotary joint, about whose horizontal axis the support element and the work surface connected with it are arranged in a pivoting manner.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2002Date of Patent: December 21, 2004Assignee: Sedus Stoll AGInventors: Mathias Seiler, Martin Pabst

Patent number: 6832814Abstract: In the case of a chair with adjustable seat depth, the seat comprises a rigid supporting panel (1) and a single-piece, longitudinally flexible seat panel (2) which bears the seat cushion (3) and is connected in a longitudinally displaceable manner to the supporting panel (1). The longitudinal displaceability is achieved by providing guide strips (6) mounted in guideways (4) on the top side of the seat panel (2), the guide strips being fastened on the supporting panel (1) via screws (7), and the screws (7) passing through slots (5) on the base of the guideways (4). The supporting panel (1) is advantageously designed as a frame and consists of cast aluminium, and the seat panel (2) consists of polypropylene. This achieves an optimum sliding pairing.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2003Date of Patent: December 21, 2004Assignee: Sedus Stoll AGInventors: Thomas Stenzel, Michael Klaesener
