Abstract
A height adjustable table assembly system comprising a worktop, a frame, a height adjustment subassembly integrated into the table assembly and adapted to cause worktop elevation adjustment, a user interface and a processor programmed to perform the steps of, while the worktop is at a current elevation position, upon sensing a quick multiple activation of the interface, controlling the height adjustment subassembly to move the worktop to a stored elevation position and upon sensing a prolonged activation of the interface, controlling the height adjustment subassembly to change worktop elevation while the prolonged activation persists.
Claims29
A height adjustable table assembly system comprising:
- a worktop;
- a frame supporting the worktop;
- at least one integrated height adjustment subassembly integrated into the table assembly and adapted to cause worktop elevation adjustment;
- a user interface including at least one user input control for receiving manual direct selection from a workstation user to initiate worktop elevation adjustment;
- and
- a processor programmed to store multiple elevation positions and to perform the steps of, while the worktop is at a current elevation position:
- upon sensing a quick multiple upward activation of the interface, controlling the height adjustment subassembly to move the worktop upward to a one of the stored elevation positions located above the current elevation position;
- and
- upon sensing a prolonged activation of the interface, controlling the height adjustment subassembly to change worktop elevation while the prolonged activation persists.
6 more elements
A height adjustable table assembly system comprising:
- a worktop;
- a frame supporting the worktop;
- at least one integrated height adjustment subassembly integrated into the table assembly and adapted to cause worktop elevation adjustment;
- a user interface including at least one user input control for receiving manual direct selection from a workstation user to initiate worktop elevation adjustment;
- and
- a processor programmed to store multiple elevation positions and to perform the steps of, while the worktop is at a current elevation position:
- wherein the worktop is positionable in a second stored elevation position that is below the first stored elevation position upon sensing a quick multiple upward activation of the interface, controlling the height adjustment subassembly to move the worktop upward to one of the stored elevation positions;
- and
- upon sensing a prolonged upward activation of the interface, controlling the height adjustment subassembly to move worktop elevation toward the one of the stored elevation positions while the prolonged upward activation persists;
- upon sensing a quick multiple downward activation of the interface, controlling the height adjustment subassembly to move the worktop downward to another of the stored elevation positions;
- and
- upon sensing a prolonged downward activation of the interface, controlling the height adjustment subassembly to move worktop elevation toward the another of the stored elevation positions while the prolonged downward activation persists.

A height adjustable table assembly system comprising:
- a worktop;
- a frame supporting the worktop;
- at least one integrated height adjustment subassembly integrated into the table assembly and adapted to cause worktop elevation adjustment;
- a user interface including at least one user input control for receiving manual direct selection from a workstation user to initiate worktop elevation adjustment;
- and
- a processor programmed to perform the steps of:
- (i) storing a plurality of stored worktop elevation positions;
- (ii) while the worktop is at a current elevation position, upon sensing a quick multiple upward activation of the user interface, controlling the height adjustment subassembly to move the worktop upward to one of the stored elevation positions above the current position.

A height adjustable table assembly system comprising:
- a worktop;
- a frame supporting the worktop;
- at least one integrated height adjustment subassembly integrated into the table assembly and adapted to cause worktop elevation adjustment;
- a user interface including at least a user input control for receiving manual direct selection from a workstation user to initiate worktop elevation adjustment;
- and
- a processor programmed to store a plurality of stored worktop heights and to perform the steps of, while the worktop is at a current elevation position:
- upon sensing a quick, double upward activation of the user input control, controlling the height adjustment subassembly to move the worktop upward to one of the stored elevation position, and
- upon sensing a prolonged upward activation of the first user input control, controlling the height adjustment subassembly to move the worktop elevation upward while the prolonged activation persists.
