COLLISION DETECTION DEVICE FOR ADJUSTABLE FURNITURE
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.
