STEERING MECHANISM FOR HEIGHT-ADJUSTABLE FURNITURE, IN PARTICULAR TABLES, AND METHOD THERETO
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.
RACK ANTI-TIP SYSTEM
A rack anti-tip system includes an elongated member that includes a first end, a second end located opposite the elongated member from the first end, and a plurality of coupling members that are provided on the elongated member between the first end and the second end and that are each configured to couple the elongated member to a respective adjustable foot subsystem of a rack having a first tip angle. A plurality of anti-tip members extend from the elongated member. The plurality of anti-tip members are positioned relative to the plurality of coupling members to cause the rack to have a second tip angle that is greater than the first tip angle when the elongated member is coupled to the rack.

Full depth manifold skin with integrated side trim for domestic kitchen appliance
A manifold skin/side trim combination for a domestic kitchen appliance built into a cabinet is provided. The combination includes a manifold skin having a main skin body having a first surface and a second surface, and an opening in the first surface; and a side trim of the domestic kitchen appliance configured to be positioned adjacent to a front face of the cabinet, the side trim having a main section, an insertion extension that extends into the opening, and a transition section that connects the insertion extension to the main section such that the insertion section extends at an extension angle greater than zero degrees relative to the main section. An outside surface of the main section of the side trim is in the same plane as the second surface of the main skin body, and the second surface is adjacent to the first surface.
Cleat mount with visual and audible indicator
A mount for mounting an electronic display on a wall includes a latch whereby the display interface portion of the mount can be selectively engaged and disengaged from the wall interface portion. The latch provides a positive visual and/or audible indication of when the mount is fully engaged. The mount may include a wall interface adapted to be secured to a wall or similar structure, and a display interface adapted to be secured to an electronic display. The wall interface generally includes a plurality of pairs of angled slots, each pair of angled slots having a different angle than the other pairs. The slots are adapted to receive fasteners which secure the wall interface to the wall, as well as enable adjustment of the tilt of the bracket so as to ensure the bracket is level.
WALL MOUNT FOR SCREENS WITH AUTOMATIC LOCKING MECHANISM
A wall mounting kit for mounting a screen on a wall, including a wall mount frame configured to be attached to the wall, one or more screen hook interfaces that are configured to be coupled to the screen and enable hanging the screen onto the wall mount frame, wherein the screen hook interfaces lock onto the wall mount frame so that the screen will not accidentally fall off by applying a force in a single direction; and wherein the screen hook interfaces are each formed by folding a cut out piece of a sheet of material without requiring additional elements to lock onto the wall mount frame.
DRAWER SLIDE MOUNTING LOCATOR TOOL AND METHOD OF USE
Disclosed is a mounting point locator tool for positioning a bracket of a drawer slide assembly such that the drawer slide assembly is square with the face frame of a cabinet carcass. The locator tool comprises a base perpendicularly extending from a first end of a rod. A bracket holding fixture is connected to a second end of the rod. In one embodiment, the base, the rod, and the fixture are ridgidly connected. In an alternate embodiment, the base is comprised of a sleeve extending generally perpendicular from a planar plate and slidingly engaged with the rod. The sleeve includes a pair of sides connected at a right angle for alignment with the face frame. The fixture includes a pair of prongs having edges spaced a predetermined distance and a set of slots having a predetermined width for releasably securing the bracket.

Safety-harness attachment
A safety-harness attachment for attaching a safety harness thereto.
OVERTURN PREVENTING DEVICE
Providing an overturn preventing device which can be mounted to an article such as furniture irrespective of an installation location of the article and which can prevent the article from being overturned by quakes of an earthquake or the like. The overturn preventing device includes a plurality of dampers mounted between a top surface of the furniture installed on a floor surface and a ceiling. The dampers are compression damper that has a smaller damping force generated during an extending operation than a damping force generated during a compressing operation. The dampers have respective axis lines extending from a ceiling side to the top surface side of the furniture, and the axis lines are downwardly inclined and extend in a plurality of directions in a planar view as viewed from above when the dampers are mounted between the top surface of the furniture and the ceiling.
