Table height adjustment system and method of using the same

The table arrangement of claim 1, wherein the first side of the actuator member has a first surface and the second side of the actuator member has a second surface and the input mechanism includes a first button recessed within the second surface and/or a second button positioned on the second surface, and the controller is also configured to store a maximum position and a minimum position in the non-transitory computer readable medium to limit motion of the tabletop via a storage process such that:

• a desired minimum height position is stored in the non-transitory computer readable medium in response to one of:
• (i) actuating the first button of the actuator and subsequently contacting the second surface of the actuator member within a pre-selected storage time after the first button is actuated to store a current height of the tabletop as a minimum height position in non-transitory computer readable medium, the tabletop being stationary while the actuator member is contacted during the pre-selected storage time period;
• (ii) contacting the second button of the actuator and then holding the actuator member in a downward position while the second button is pressed for a minimum setting period of time to store a current position of the tabletop as a minimum height position for the tabletop in non-transitory computer readable medium;
• and
• a desired maximum height position is stored in the non-transitory computer readable medium in response to one of:
• (a) pressing the second button of the actuator and then holding the actuator member in an upward position while the second button is pressed for a maximum setting period of time to store a current position of the tabletop as a maximum height position for the tabletop in the non-transitory computer readable medium of the controller, and
• (b) actuating the first button of the actuator and subsequently contacting the first surface of the actuator member within a pre-selected storage time after the first button is actuated to store a current height of the tabletop as a maximum height position in the non-transitory computer readable medium of the controller, the tabletop being stationary while the actuator member is contacted during the pre-selected storage time period.

• moving the actuator member downwardly or touching the second surface of the actuator member to actuate the height adjustment system connected to the tabletop for moving the tabletop vertically lower to a sitting position;
• one of:
• (a) contacting the first button while also holding the actuator member in a downward position for a pre-selected time period to store a current height of the tabletop as a programmed sitting height position in the memory, the tabletop being stationary while the first button is pressed and the actuator member is also held in the downward position, and
• (b) actuating the first button and subsequently touching the second surface of the actuator member within a pre-selected storage time after the first button is actuated to store a current height of the tabletop as a programmed sitting height position in non-transitory memory of a controller connected to the actuator member, the tabletop being stationary while the actuator member is touched during the pre-selected storage time period;
• multiple tapping the actuator member upwardly or multiple tapping the first surface of the actuator member to actuate automatic motion of the height adjustment system via the controller to move the tabletop to the standing height position;
• and
• multiple tapping the actuator member downward or multiple tapping the second surface of the actuator member to actuated automatic motion of the height adjustment system via the controller to move the tabletop to the sitting height position.

A method of adjusting a position of a tabletop comprising:

• moving an actuator member upwardly or touching a first surface of the actuator member to actuate a height adjustment system connected to the tabletop for moving the tabletop vertically higher to a maximum height position, a first side of the actuator member being attached to the tabletop,
• one of:
• (i) contacting a first button positioned adjacent a second side of the actuator member opposite the first side of the actuator member while also holding the actuator member in an upward position for a maximum setting period of time to store a current height of the tabletop as a programmed maximum position in a non-transitory computer readable medium of a controller connected to the actuator member, the tabletop being stationary while the first button is pressed and the actuator member is also held in the upward position, and
• (ii) actuating a first button positioned adjacent a second side of the actuator member opposite the first side of the actuator member and subsequently contacting the first surface of the actuator member within a pre-selected storage time after the first button is actuated to store a current height of the tabletop as a maximum height position in a non-transitory computer readable medium of a controller connected to the actuator member, the tabletop being stationary while the actuator member is contacted during the pre-selected storage time period;

• one of:
• (a) contacting the first button while also holding the actuator member in a downward position for a minimum setting period of time to store a current height of the tabletop as a programmed minimum position in the non-transitory computer readable medium, the tabletop being stationary while the first button is pressed and the actuator member is also held in the downward position, and
• (b) actuating the first button of the actuator and subsequently contacting the second surface of the actuator member within a pre-selected storage time after the first button is actuated to store a current height of the tabletop as a minimum height position in the non-transitory computer readable medium of the controller connected to the actuator member, the tabletop being stationary while the actuator member is contacted during the pre-selected storage time period;
• the controller preventing the height adjustment system from moving the tabletop higher than the maximum height position and preventing the height adjustment system from moving the tabletop lower than the minimum height position after the maximum height position and minimum height position for the tabletop are stored in the non-transitory computer readable medium.

A table arrangement comprising:

• actuator having an actuator member, a first side of the actuator member attached to a tabletop, the tabletop connected to a height adjustment system configured to vertically adjust a position of the tabletop between a first bottom position and a second top position;
• a controller connected to the actuator, the controller having a processor connected to a non-transitory computer readable medium, the controller configured to store values corresponding to a maximum height position of the tabletop and a minimum height position of the tabletop in the non-transitory computer readable medium so that, in response to first input provided via downward motion of the actuator member or contacting of a second surface of the actuator member, the controller communicates with the height adjustment system to actuate motion the tabletop so that vertical height adjustment of the tabletop is prevented from moving lower than the minimum height position and, in response to a second input via upward motion of the actuator member or contacting of a first surface of the actuator member, the controller communicates with the height adjustment system so that the vertical height adjustment of the tabletop is prevented from moving higher than the maximum height position;
