DEVICE FOR ELECTRIFYING FURNITURE
A device for the electrification of furniture includes at least a first furniture panel, which has, in one of its two panel sides, two parallel grooves and two exposed busbars laid respectively in the two grooves and at least one electric plug for connecting to the two busbars. The plug has two electrical contacts, which are formed as exposed collector contacts on a connecting side of the plug housing and as connection contacts on a front side of the plug housing. The plug is inserted into a bore, interrupting the two grooves, in the one panel side of the first furniture panel. The collector contacts each lie against the two busbars in an electrically conductive manner.
TABLE-MOUNTED SENSOR ASSEMBLY FOR DETERMINING A STATUS OF A WORKSPACE, DESK OR TABLE
A table-mounted sensor assembly for determining a status of a workspace, desk or table includes: a motion and/or proximity sensor; a wireless transceiver for wireless communication with an external unit, such as a gateway; a processing unit; a local user interface for manually setting a state of the table-mounted sensor assembly; and a battery for powering the motion and/or proximity sensor, the wireless transceiver, the processing unit and the local user interface, wherein the table-mounted sensor assembly comprises at least a dirty state, an occupied state, and a clean state. The processing unit is configured to set the table-mounted sensor assembly in one of the dirty state, occupied state and clean state based on motion and/or proximity sensor data from the motion and/or proximity sensor and user input data from the local user interface to determine the status of the workspace.
Personal workspace assembly
A lounge assembly comprising a lower wall structure including at least first and second spaced apart side walls and a rear wall that together form an assembly space, each of the side walls and rear wall including an internal surface, a seat assembly supported between the first and second side walls, a first coupler mounted to the internal surface of the first side wall, a support arm having an arm length dimension between proximal and distal ends, the proximal end mounted to the first coupler adjacent the internal surface of the first side wall for rotation about a first vertical axis and a tablet member supported at the distal end of the support arm for rotation about a second vertical axis through a second range of motion with respect to the support arm.
PLATFORM FOR A VARIABLE ADAPTABLE PIECE OF FURNITURE, SUCH A PIECE OF FURNITURE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING SUCH A PIECE OF FURNITURE
The invention relates to a platform for a variably adaptable piece of furniture and to a piece of furniture with such a platform. The platform has a base, a column and a mounting bracket for mounting interchangeable accessory modules. The universal mounting bracket has a mechanical mounting interface for mounting and dismounting interchangeable accessory modules. The platform has electrical functionality. The platform also has an identification interface for identifying an accessory module mounted on the platform and a control unit. The control unit is adapted to receive identification information about an accessory module mounted on the platform from the identification interface and to control an adaptation of the electrical functionality of the platform depending on the received identification information.
