Abstract
The height-adjustable table (22) comprises a base (1), a support (3) to hold a table top (21), a movable connecting element (2) which mounts the support (3) in a height-adjustable manner in relation to the base (1) and a pneumatic, pressure actuated weight counterbalancing element (7) which is fluidly connected to a reservoir (4) and is arranged between the base (1) and the support (3) in such a way that a reaction force is generated to counteract a gravitational force G acting on the support (3). The weight counterbalancing element (7) and the reservoir form a closed volume containing fluid.
Claims13
A height-adjustable tale, comprising:
- a tabletop;
- a base;
- a support for holding the tabletop;
- moveable connecting means for supporting the support in a height-adjustable manner with respect to the base;
- a pneumatic, pressure-actuable counterweight element which is operatively arranged between the base and the support so that a reaction force can be generated acting counter to a gravitational force acting on the support;
- and a reservoir, the counterweight element being connected in a fluid-conducting manner to the reservoir which is arranged spaced apart so as to form, together with the reservoir, a closed volume containing a fluid, the counterweight element having a maximum volume, the reservoir having a volume that corresponds at least to twice the maximum volume of the counterweight element.
