  • Table base
    Patent number: 5289784
    Abstract: A table base (2) features a table substructure (4) and pedestals which can be arranged at its ends. Supporting rails (24) featuring plug-in holes (28, 30, 32, 34) for supporting parts (12, 14) on the pedestal side and for cross-arms (20, 22) on the table base side are arranged parallel to the ends of the table base (2) in the area of connection between the table substructure (4) and the pedestals (6). The connection between the supporting rails (4), the cross-arms (20, 22) on the table base side and the supporting parts (12, 14) on the pedestal side is made in the form of a truss union so that the entire table base (2) is exceptionally stable while having the appearance of a light construction.

  • Height-adjustable table with a linear or straight guide
    Patent number: 5285733
    Abstract: In a linear or straight guide (2) for a height-adjustable table, a stationary frame component (4) and a moving frame component (6) are in form-fit sliding contact in the manner of a sliding guide, with the moving frame component (6) being guided with a little play in the stationary frame component (4) designed as a hollow profile. A height-adjustable table equipped with this linear or straight guide is characterized in particular by the extremely quick damping of impact-induced horizontal oscillatory movements of the table top in longitudinal direction.

  • Corner work table, in particular for office work
    Patent number: 4559877
    Abstract: The invention relates to corner work table (1), in particular for office work, comprising a subframe (2) and a corner table top (3). The table top has the form of a circular segment, the radius sides being formed as connection sides (5,6) to further adjoinable table tops (17,18). The securing is effected by edge-side angle rails (34) and by openings in a support tube (11), into which the support arms (33,41) are insertable. The subframe (2) comprises a floor-side stirrup member (8) to which four support legs (9,10,14,15) are attached on which support tubes (11,16) are secured which in turn carry the corner table top (3). This subframe structure provides a high stability and firmness of the corner work table (1) and due to the form of the member (8) open towards the wide side of the corner work table a large degree of foot freedom for the user.
