Description
- The present invention relates to a device according to the preamble to appended
claim 1. - Seating- and standing tables and similar arrangements are being increasingly used at different workplaces and also in the home. The prior art structures are provided with different types of jamming protection, whereby the drive units (drive motors) are disabled in the event of a risk of a jamming or pinching injury. Such prior art structures are illustrated in publications SE 516 479, US 2005/0012430 and US 2005/0082997 A1. However, these prior art structures have proved to display insufficient sensitivity to slight loads above the normal load which is carried by the table top. This also applies to so-called point or concentrated loads and oblique loads. In addition, the prior art structures have proved to suffer from defective mechanical stability.
- The task forming the basis of the present invention is to improve the prior art structures by obviating the drawbacks as outlined above.
- This task is solved in the device disclosed by way of introduction in that it has been given the characterising features as set forth in the appended claims.
- A device according to the present invention affords major possibilities for great mechanical stability without jeopardising sensitivity to such slight loads as occur in the event of a pinch or jamming risk during adjustment of the table top for changing the level of the table top above a standing or seating surface, and thereby the working height. Thus, the present invention makes for a considerably safer and more sensitive structure than prior art structures without in any jeopardising the desired mechanical stability. Further, a device according to the present invention makes for considerably greater versatility in the utilisation of the movement sensing and adjustment of the different drive units.
- Embodiments of the present invention will be described in greater detail hereinbelow with reference to the accompanying Drawings.

bracket 10 and thedrive unit 8, there is mounted amovement sensor 15 which, via acable 16, is connected to the electronics unit for supplying driving current to thedrive unit 8. Themovement sensor 15 is mounted, on the one hand, on thebracket 10 by means ofbolts 15A and, on the other hand, on thedrive unit 8 by means ofbolts 15B. Thus, themovement sensor 15 is disposed between mutually movable parts, i.e. thetable top 14 and thetable legs bracket 10 is mounted on thedrive unit 8 by means of twobolts bracket 10 and each through a ring, washer orgasket longitudinal beams drive unit 8 by means ofbolts beams drive unit 8, which is connected to the electronics unit via acable 29.

This will occur in the event of a risk of pinching or jamming. - The embodiment of a device according to the present invention illustrated in
FIG. 4 has its drive unit disposed in thetable leg 1. On the underside of thetable top 14, there is disposed afixing plate 30 which is mounted on thefixing plate 31 of thedrive unit 8 via amovement sensor 32 which is shown in greater detail inFIGS. 5 , 6 and 7. Themovement sensor 32 displays a movingpart 33 which is fixed in thetable top 14 via themounting plate 30. This, as it were, movingpart 33 is secured inpads mounting member 36 which is fixed on theplate 31 of thedrive unit 8. Between the movingpart 33 and themounting plate 36, there is disposed astrain element 37 which supports astrain gauge 38 and which is secured on the movingpart 33. - The
strain element 37 is shown in greater detail inFIG. 7 . The strain element is designed so as to permit large movement where thestrain gauge 38 is positioned. The signal from thestrain gauge 38 is fed to the electronics unit via thecable 16. Thestrain gauge 38 is further positioned so as to receive mechanical protection against damage in the event of extreme movement amplitudes between theparts strain gauge 38 will further permit the employment of more sensitive indicators that has hitherto been possible. - In the embodiment of the device according to the present invention illustrated in
FIG. 8 , thelongitudinal beams drive unit 8 by means ofbolts bracket 10, on which the table top rests, is fixed with a certain play on thedrive unit 8 by means ofbolts first washer 45 and asecond washer 46, ahole 47 in thebracket 10 to afixing hole 48 in thedrive unit 8 as intimated by means of ghosted lines. Thesecond washer 46 is elastomeric and fits at least partly in thehole 47 and may therefore be considered as a bushing therein. Themovement sensor 15 displays apin 49 which freely extends through ahole 50 in the wall of thedrive unit 8 into engagement with thebracket 10 e.g. ahole 51 in thebracket 10. The pin is suitably provided with a cap orhat 52 for tolerance completion and thereby elimination of possible movements between thepin 49 and thebracket 10. - The embodiment illustrated in
FIG. 9 is substantially alike the embodiment illustrated inFIG. 8 , apart from the fact that thelongitudinal beams drive unit 8 with a certain play in relation thereto in fundamentally the same manner as thebracket 10 inFIG. 8 . Thus, thebeams drive unit 8 by means ofbolts first sleeve 57, asecond sleeve 58, athird sleeve 59 and through ahole 60 in thelongitudinal beam sleeves hole 60 and the length corresponds substantially to the thickness of thelongitudinal beam longitudinal beams drive unit 8 is permitted in the same manner as between thebracket 10 and thedrive unit 8. Thesecond sleeve 58 is of elastomeric material, and may be considered as a bushing. -
FIG. 10 shows themovement sensor 15 in greater detail. Themovement sensor 15 has abody 61 which is designed in a manner suitable for its purpose and which supports astrain gauge 62. At the one end of thebody 61, the previously mentionedpin 49 is secured therein. Thepin 49 is not required in all practical applications. Further, thebody 61 is provided with a number of mountingholes strain gauge element 62 is connected to a connection means 67 by the intermediary ofwires 68. - The embodiment of a device according to the present invention illustrated in
FIGS. 11 , 12 and 13 is in principle similar to the embodiment illustrated inFIGS. 5 , 6 and 7, apart from the fact that themovement sensor 32 is of the type illustrated inFIG. 10 . In this practical application, thepin 49 is however omitted, since thebody 61 is fixed on the mountingplate 36 by means of abolt 69 and aspacer 70, and on the movingpart 33 by means of abolt 71 and aspacer 72. Thebolts spacers body 61 and the mountingplate 36, as well as the movingpart 33. All parts display the same reference numerals in the different Drawing Figures. - The movement sensors or strain gauge elements may be of different types, for example wire strain gauges, piezoelements, etc. Further, they should preferably be of the self-calibrating type so that account is taken of any possible static load such as working equipment placed on the table top. The present invention permits the use of extremely sensitive indicators, since they are positioned with mechanical protection. The parts of the elastomeric material between the parts fixedly connected to the movement sensors and the parts substantially fixedly connected to the table top afford a certain mechanical protection of the movement sensors, but also contribute to realising a more uniform signal.
- Numerous modifications are naturally conceivable without departing from the scope of the inventive concept as this is defined in the appended claims.
