The lifting column (3) comprises at least two tube portions (4, 5) displaceable with respect to one another like a telescope, a high-voltage direct-current motor (6) and a transmission (7) for transforming a rotational motion into a linear motion, wherein the high-voltage direct-current motor (6) and the transmission (7) are arranged inside at least one of the at least two tube portions (4, 5) displaceable with respect to one another like a telescope.

A table frame for a table has a first column and a second column for supporting a table top, a cross member of hollow profile construction by which the first column and the second column are interconnected with each other and a first cantilever support mounted on the top end of the first column and a second cantilever support mounted on the top end of the second column. The first and the second column each have two projections at respective top ends thereof. The cross member, at each end section thereof, has a pair of oblong holes disposed on its lower side and through which the two projections of the respective column extend into the cross member. Each cantilever support has a first and a second flange which are arranged spaced-apart from one another, each of the flanges abutting the cross member on a lateral side portion thereof.

A desk includes a base, a pedestal, a desktop panel, a desktop actuator, and a controller. The pedestal extends along a vertical axis and has a bottom end that is attached to the base. The desktop panel is supported by a top end of the pedestal, and extends transversely to the vertical axis. The desktop actuator is attached to the desktop panel and includes a motorized tilt mechanism, which is configured to pivot the desktop panel about a horizontal axis, which is transverse to the vertical axis, and adjust an angle of the desktop panel relative to the vertical axis, and a motorized lateral feed mechanism, which is configured to move the desktop panel along a feed axis that is fixed relative to the desktop panel, and extends transversely to the vertical axis and the horizontal axis. The controller controls the motorized tilt mechanism and the motorized lateral feed mechanism.

An apparatus for adjusting the height of a work surface comprising a height-adjusting mechanism and a universal mount that ensures compatibility with a wide variety of desks and other work surfaces. The apparatus may include one or more suction cups for securing the work surface to the height adjustment mechanism. The apparatus may also include a bent universal adapter bracket.

The invention relates to a column that can be calibrated, in particular for a piece of furniture, wherein the column 100, 101 that can be calibrated has a stationary part 4, at least one movable part 2, 3, and a calibrating means 6, 13, 14, and the movable part 2, 3 can be transferred from a retracted state to a plurality of extended states, and wherein a calibration position of the column 100, 101 coincides with the position of the movable part 2, 3 in an extended state. Such a column can be used in a piece of furniture as an extendable column.
