A work station including a base includes a work surface pivotally mounted to the base so as to be configured to pivot between a first position and a second position. The work surface is configured to cover a protected member when in a first position and the work surface is configured to uncover the protected member when moved into a second position. The base is configured to support the work surface on a floor surface. A height of the work surface can be adjusted to accommodate the ergonomic needs of different users.

A device for adjusting the height of a first part relative to a second part includes a first hollow profiled element, a second hollow profiled element which is displaceable along its longitudinal axis relative to the first hollow profiled element, a drive unit for displacement of the second hollow profiled element relative to the first hollow profiled element and a support unit which, in relation to the longitudinal axis, is arranged between the first hollow profiled element and the second hollow profiled element for the purpose of supporting the first hollow profiled element against the second hollow profiled element.

An electrically adjustable table system includes a table, at least one electric drive for adjusting the table, a voltage supply, a control and a bus system. The at least one drive, the voltage supply and the control are connected to the bus system. The bus system comprises multiple multiwire cable sections, which are electrically connected to one another via insulation displacement connectors.

A lifting column (3) for a lifting system (2) of a furniture is provided. 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 workstation is provided including first and second vertically telescoping support columns, a base frame mounted atop the first and second support columns, so that the base frame is movable up and down, and a desktop joined with the base frame and slidable between a first position in which the desktop is disposed vertically over both the first and second support columns, so a user can sit or stand facing the desktop, and a second position in which the desktop is cantilevered and projects laterally, distally beyond the first support column a first distance beyond the base frame, so that the user can exercise facing the desktop on an exercise device located laterally beyond and outside the first and second support columns. A related method of use is provided.

A tabletop assembly, a lifting frame assembly and a height adjustable table are disclosed. The assembling operation of the height adjustable table is simplified by using a supporting part rotatably connected to a table board support and a first terminal block and a second terminal block which are arranged in pairs. During transportation, the height adjustable table may be disassembled into a tabletop assembly and a lifting frame assembly to be packaged and transported, respectively, thus reducing the size of the package. Meanwhile, the lifting frame assembly may be folded, the second terminal block on the lifting frame assembly in a folded state forms an approximate fan-shaped region with the table board support, so that the second terminal block may be protected during transportation. After receiving the goods, the consumer may assemble the tabletop assembly and the lifting frame assembly through a simple process.

A lightweight beam structure includes a first and a second frame. The first frame includes an upper plate, two inner side plates downward bent and extended from two sides of the upper plate, two outer side plates upward bent and extended from two inner side plates respectively and two fixing plates bent and extended from two outer side plates respectively. Each outer side plate is formed outside each inner side plate. A groove is formed between each inner side plate and each outer side plate. The second frame is connected with the first frame and includes a top plate and two intermediate plates downward bent and extended from two sides of the top plate. Each intermediate plate is received in each groove. The top plate is formed over the upper plate. Therefore, the stability is maintained and the weight is reduced so that the material costs may be decreased.

Systems and methods are disclosed for moving a tabletop of a workstation based on biometric input associated with a user, the method being performed by a controller that is configured to send control signals to actuators to move the tabletop. One method includes: accessing a user profile associated with a user device; determining parameters for moving the tabletop, based on the user profile, for eliciting desired biometric inputs from the workstation user at one or more times during the movement of the tabletop; and repeating one or more iterations of: moving the tabletop based on the parameters, by sending control signals to the actuators of the tabletop; receiving, into a data storage device, actual biometric inputs from the workstation user; comparing the received actual biometric inputs with the desired biometric inputs; and if the parameters do not elicit the desired biometric inputs, adjusting the parameters.

A modesty panel includes a back cover adjacent the underside of the worksurface, a power strip or power bar having at least one electrical outlet, a cord system electrically connected to the power bar and an electrical power supply, the cord system including at least one cable. A cable management track is positioned adjacent the back cover. The track has a track sidewall that defines a cable entrance portion including a cable entrance opening, a cable storage portion extending from the cable entrance portion and including a cable exit opening, and a cable guide. The cord system extends through the entrance opening and the exit opening in the track, such that a length of the cord system is positioned within the cable management track, and wherein as the height adjustable table is moved to a lower position, the length of cord system within the track increases, with a portion of the cord system engaging the cable guide to route the cord system into the cable storage portion of the cable management track.

A desk frame elevation structure includes an inner tube telescopically received in an outer tube and a roller unit between the inner and outer tubes. The outer tube is fixed to a base and includes a bottom plate and a first top plate. A desk board unit is fixed to the inner tube. A telescopic rod is received in the inner tube and has top and bottom ends coupled to the outer and inner tubes, respectively. The inner tube extends through an upper buffer pad disposed below the first top plate. The upper buffer pad has an upper face abutting the first top plate and a lower face for abutting an abutting edge of the inner tube. A lower buffer pad is disposed above the bottom plate and includes a lower face abutting the bottom plate and an upper face for abutting a bottom end of the inner tube.
