FRAME FOR A TABLE
20220287452 · 2022-09-15 ·

A frame for sit- stand-tables comprising a longitudinal member, two height-adjustable legs with at least two telescopic profiles, namely an outer and an inner profile, and with a driving mechanism, driven by a motor unit, comprising an electric motor and a gear. According to the invention the motor unit is arranged in the longitudinal member and connected to the driving mechanism in the height-adjustable legs. Thus, a frame with a simplified construction is achieved. The construction of the legs can be simplified and at the same time the dimensions can be reduced, as it is not necessary to take the building-in of a motor into the legs into consideration. As both legs are driven by a joint motor unit, the electric control can also be simplified as it will not have to drive the two legs synchronously.
