11412845 · 2022-08-16 · ·

A height adjustment system includes a first controller to control a first drive assembly of an adjustable desk frame and a second controller to control a second drive assembly of an adjustable monitor mount. The first controller is communicatively coupled to the second controller to synchronize activation of the first controller and the second controller such that an adjustment of a height of the desk frame causes a corresponding adjustment of a viewing height of the monitor mount and an adjustment of the viewing height of the monitor mount causes a corresponding adjustment of the height of the desk.

Workstation height-adjustment monitoring

A workstation including a height-adjustable work surface is described. The workstation includes a frame, and the work surface is configured to translate relative to the frame to vary a height of the work surface. A lift assembly configured to assist translation of the work surface relative to the frame. The lift assembly includes a moveable component and translation of the moveable component results in a translation of the work surface relative to the frame. A translation sensor is coupled to one of the frame or the movable component, and it is configured to measure translation of the moveable component relative to the frame. A control circuit is in communication with the translation sensor to determine an amount of translation of the work surface relative to the frame.

ELECTRICAL OPERATING PANEL
20220079330 · 2022-03-17 ·

Electrical operating unit comprising a first and a second part, where the two parts can be mutually adjusted. The Operating unit (1) comprises a first part constructed as a housing (2), which contains the electric equipment with at least one electric switch and a second part constructed as a mounting unit (3) for the first part. The two parts are interconnected about a shaft (17), or pivot, so they can rotate mutually. When the operating unit is mounted the housing (2) will assume a first position, an initial position. By pressing the housing (2) it rotates about the shaft (17) and is brought into a second position, an activation position, where the switch(es) is/are activated in that they are pressed against the second part (3). With this embodiment of the operating unit the piece of furniture can be adjusted in either direction by pressing the housing (2). The housing (2), besides from functioning as a switch, can also be equipped with other switches and displays.
