A geologic core inspection table includes at least two legs, each including an extending portion for increasing the effective length of each leg, the extending portion at least partially concentrically disposed within or about the leg from which it extends; and a tabletop disposed above and coupled to the legs. The tabletop includes a top surface for receiving a core sample tray. At least one leg may be extended to a different height than at least one other leg.

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 fixing mechanism for a lifting device is provided. The lifting device includes a motor and a transmission shaft driven by the motor. The fixing mechanism includes a support body, a fixing assembly, a bearing, and a connection assembly. The fixing assembly includes a base plate fixed above the support body and a chamber disposed between the base plate and the support body. A bearing is arranged in the chamber and clamped between the support body and the base plate, and the transmission shaft passes through the bearing and protrudes from the base plate. The connection assembly is sleeved on the transmission shaft to together connect with the motor. Accordingly, power transmission efficiency may be improved, and vibration and noise generated during operation of the motor may be reduced.

Disclosed is a height adjustable stand for supporting an object, such as a table leaf or a camera. The invention also relates to a table including the stand. The stand includes at least a first leg, at least a first locking device and at least a first central operating device including at least a first elongated operating element that is arranged to allow the first locking device to be transferred from a locked resting state to an unlocked state in which the height of the stand is adjustable. The construction of the stand is lean and robust allowing height adjustment and stable positioning of the stand and thereby the table, even on uneven supporting surfaces simultaneously. User comfort is improved as precious time can be saved especially when installing multiple stands or tables.

A moving kitchen is provided. The moving kitchen includes a frame. The frame is provided with two oppositely arranged side plates. A fixed part for fixing two side plates is connected between the two side plates, a main accommodation space is formed between the two side plates, an external sliding table is arranged in the main accommodation space, two sides of the external sliding table are slidably connected to inner side surfaces of corresponding side plates, separately, a side surface of the external sliding table extends downward to form a lower extension part, an internal accommodation space is formed between the lower extension part and a lower end of the external sliding table, an internal sliding table is arranged in the internal accommodation space, and two sides of the internal sliding table are slidably connected to an inner side surface of a corresponding lower extension part, separately.

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.

The invention relates to a column that can be calibrated, in particular for a piece of furniture, wherein the column 100, 101 that can be calibrated has a stationary part 4, at least one movable part 2, 3, and a calibrating means 6, 13, 14, and the movable part 2, 3 can be transferred from a retracted state to a plurality of extended states, and wherein a calibration position of the column 100, 101 coincides with the position of the movable part 2, 3 in an extended state. Such a column can be used in a piece of furniture as an extendable column.

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.

A frame for sit-stand-tables comprising a longitudinal member (3), two height-adjustable legs (6, 7) with at least two telescopic profiles, namely an outer and an inner profile, and with a driving mechanism, driven by a motor unit (39), comprising an electric motor (46) and a gear. According to the invention the motor unit (39) is arranged in the longitudinal member (3) and connected to the driving mechanism in the height-adjustable legs (6, 7). Thus, a frame with a simplified construction is achieved. The construction of the legs (6, 7) 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 (6, 7) are driven by a joint motor unit (39), the electric control can also be simplified as it will not have to drive the two legs synchronously.

Methods and apparatus to analyze desk heights are disclosed. A disclosed example apparatus includes a distance sensor to measure a distance from a computing device on a table surface to a floor surface, an orientation sensor to measure an orientation of the distance sensor relative to a direction of gravity, at least one memory, instructions, and processor circuitry to execute the instructions to calculate at least one of a first height of the table surface from the floor surface or a second height of at least a portion of the computing device to the floor surface based on the orientation and the distance.
