A table with an articulable leg system may include a table top, a set of legs configured to support the table top relative to a ground structure, and a leg retention mechanism configured to couple a leg of the set of legs to the table top, the leg retention mechanism operable in an unsecured configuration in which the leg is movable, relative to the table top, about at least two angular degrees of freedom and a secured configuration in which the leg is fixed relative to the table top. The leg may include a ball portion and a strut portion, and the leg retention mechanism may be configured to receive the ball portion therein.

A collision detection device is arranged in an adjustable piece of furniture comprising a driving arrangement, and first and second parts being moveable relative to each other. The collision detection device detects a collision during motion of the furniture. The collision detection device comprises a holder as one of the first and second parts of the adjustable piece of furniture to be in contact with a part of the driving arrangement, and a circuit board arranged on the holder, said circuit board comprising a wiring circuit on one of its sides. The holder is configured to, when arranged to the adjustable piece of furniture, transfer a force from the driving arrangement acting on the holder to the circuit board such that said force implies a flexure of the circuit board. An electrical characteristic of the wiring circuit is configured to depend on the flexure of the circuit board.

Adjustable frames to support working surfaces are disclosed herein. An example adjustable frame includes a first frame, a second frame, and a sliding mechanism connected to the first frame and the second frame, the sliding mechanism including a channel bracket having a slot and a slider configured to move within the slot.

A table with an articulable leg system may include a table top, a set of legs configured to support the table top relative to a ground structure, and a leg retention mechanism configured to couple a leg of the set of legs to the table top, the leg retention mechanism operable in an unsecured configuration in which the leg is movable, relative to the table top, about at least two angular degrees of freedom and a secured configuration in which the leg is fixed relative to the table top. The leg may include a ball portion and a strut portion, and the leg retention mechanism may be configured to receive the ball portion therein.

An adjustable desk frame includes a first extendable table leg including a first outer housing, a first inner housing, and a first actuation mechanism to selectively extend and retract the first inner housing relative to the first outer housing, a second extendable table leg including a second outer housing, a second inner housing, and a second actuation mechanism to selectively extend and retract the second inner housing relative to the second outer housing, a motor configured to drive the first actuation mechanism to selectively extend and retract the first inner housing relative to the first outer housing, and a linkage coupling the motor to the second actuation mechanism such that the motor is configured to drive the second actuation mechanism in unison with the first actuation mechanism.

A lift system is designed for raising and lowering a load. The lift system can include a movable portion in sliding engagement with a fixed portion. The lift system can be configured to translate the load coupled to the movable portion relative to the fixed portion. The lift system can also include a counterbalance mechanism having an arm rotatably coupled to the fixed portion, and one or more springs coupled to the arm and the fixed portion. The arm can be operably coupled to the movable portion through a cord. As the movable portion translates, the arm can rotate to deflect the one or more springs to provide a lift force to offset the weight of the load.

A linear actuator (1) with the protection mechanism includes: a motor case (10) having a case member (11) with a bottom plate (111) on which a through hole (114) is formed; a drive mechanism (20) accommodated in the case member (11); a transmission mechanism (30) having a machine core (31), a bearing (32), a base seat (33) with an extending plate (332) on which a penetrated hole (333) is formed, and a fasten unit (34) with a head part (341), the machine core (31) is connected to the drive mechanism (20), the bearing (32) is disposed on the base seat (33) and sheathes the machine core (31), the fasten unit (34) is fastened with the bottom plate (111); and a protection structure (40) sheathing the fasten unit (34) and disposed between the bottom plate (111) and the head part (341).

An adjustable desk frame includes a first extendable table leg including a first outer housing, a first inner housing, and a first actuation mechanism to selectively extend and retract the first inner housing relative to the first outer housing, a second extendable table leg including a second outer housing, a second inner housing, and a second actuation mechanism to selectively extend and retract the second inner housing relative to the second outer housing, a motor configured to drive the first actuation mechanism to selectively extend and retract the first inner housing relative to the first outer housing, and a linkage coupling the motor to the second actuation mechanism such that the motor is configured to drive the second actuation mechanism in unison with the first actuation mechanism.

The invention discloses a method of controlling an intelligent height-adjustable table with integrated electronic functions, comprising following steps: providing a height-adjustable table which can adjust height, comprising a tabletop and at least one set of telescopic table legs for supporting the tabletop; a wiring control system is integrated in the height-adjustable table, which extends through the legs and the tabletop for connecting electronic function modules on the table; selecting a plurality of electronic function modules to be integrated into the height-adjustable table, each module being connected to power source and data through the wiring control system, and designing and implementing a master controller which is electrically connected to the wiring control system. The invention can arbitrarily select suitable function modules as needed to broaden application range of the height-adjustable table, and has reasonable wiring structure to save desktop space, with higher integration degree and simplified wiring structure.

Presented herein is a device, such as a height adjustable workstation, including at least one leg. Each leg extends along a vertical axis and includes a base. A vertical support is coupled to the base. A sleeve is adjustably coupled to the base and movable along the vertical axis relative to the vertical support. The sleeve has a first end and a second oppositely disposed along the vertical axis. A panel defining a work surface has a height measured from the base. The panel is attached to the sleeve between the first end and the second end of the sleeve. The panel is adjustably coupled to the base such that the work surface is moveable from a first height to a second height.
