  • Publication number: 20220386771
    Abstract: A workstation system (1) has an office desk with a seated work area and a standing working area. A support frame (10) is height-adjustable in the vertical axis H for synchronously adjusting the height of two desktops (T1, T2) attached to the frame at different work levels (A1, A2) to form respective seated and standing working areas. The desktops (T1, T2) are attached to the support frame at a fixed distance to each other in the vertical axis H. The upper desktop (T2) is arranged above the working level (A1) of the lower desktop (T1) in the vertical axis.

  • Patent number: 9526341
    Abstract: Active dynamic seating is provided comprising (1) a foot part (2), a seat (3) and a deflectable pendulum column (4) that is designed as a main pillar. The pendulum column is connected to the foot part (2) by means of a pendulum joint (5) that counteracts a deflection with a restoring force, and the seat (3) is resiliently arranged at/on the pendulum column. The seating further comprises a device (6) for defining the rearward direction, e.g. a backrest or a similar design element, which device is arranged on the seat. The foot part (2) of the seating is provided with a safety element (7) which counteracts a rearward pendulum motion of the pendulum column (4) with a higher resistance than the resistance of the restoring force in the other directions, said safety element (7) having a deflection limiter (8) formed in the pendulum joint (5).

  • Patent number: 8075056
    Abstract: An office chair has a seating element with an upright tubular element (3) and a base, the seating element being connected to the base by means of the support element (1) so as to be swiveled and reset. Rubber buffers (19, 24) are provided between a connecting element (2) of the base, ring discs (11) and (17) and a tubular element (8) extending from the seating element downward and allow an oscillating movement of the seating element. The rubber buffers at least partially enclose the connecting element (2), thereby retaining the same. A pneumatic spring (4) allows to adjust the height of the seat. A thumb screw (16) allows to adjust the restoring force by compressing the rubber buffers (19, 24) to a greater or lesser extent.
