Abstract
A drawer block of a support system, the drawer block including at least one drawer accommodation including a housing defining a receptacle, a drawer including a lock having an actuator and a mechanism configured to lock the drawer in the receptacle of the drawer accommodation, and a receiver assembly that is electrically connected to the actuator and configured to convert an opening signal to an opening instruction for the actuator.
Claims25
A drawer block of a support system, the drawer block comprising:
- at least one drawer accommodation comprising a housing defining a receptacle;
- a drawer comprising a lock having an actuator and a mechanism configured to lock the drawer in the receptacle of the drawer accommodation;
- and
- a receiver assembly that is electrically connected to the actuator and configured to convert an opening signal to an opening instruction for the actuator,
- wherein the support system comprises an electrical component, and the at least one drawer accommodation comprises a contact that is connected to the receiver assembly and formed such that an electrical connection between the receiver assembly and the electrical component of the support system can be established by the contact for supplying electrical power to and/or controlling the actuator, and
- wherein the contact is integrated with a fixing mechanism by which the drawer block is mountable to the support system.
A drawer block of a support system, the drawer block comprising:
- at least one drawer accommodation comprising a housing defining a receptacle;
- a drawer comprising a lock that comprises an actuator and a ratchet configured to engage with a locking member to lock the drawer in the receptacle of the drawer accommodation;
- and
- a receiver assembly that is electrically connected to the actuator and configured to convert an opening signal to an opening instruction for the actuator,
- wherein the lock further comprises a biasing member that forces the ratchet to a position, where the ratchet engages with the locking member so that the drawer is locked, when the opening instruction is not applied to the actuator.
A drawer block of a support system, the drawer block comprising:
- at least one drawer accommodation comprising a housing defining a receptacle;
- a drawer comprising a lock that comprises an actuator and a ratchet configured to engage with a locking member to lock the drawer in the receptacle of the drawer accommodation;
- and
- a receiver assembly that is electrically connected to the actuator and configured to convert an opening signal to an opening instruction for the actuator,
- wherein the lock further comprises a biasing member that forces the ratchet to a position, where the ratchet engages with the locking member so that the drawer is locked, when electric power is not applied to the actuator.
A drawer block of a support system, the drawer block comprising:
- at least one drawer accommodation comprising a housing defining a receptacle;
- a drawer comprising a lock that comprises an actuator and a ratchet configured to engage with a locking member to lock the drawer in the receptacle of the drawer accommodation;
- and
- a receiver assembly that is electrically connected to the actuator and configured to convert an opening signal to an opening instruction for the actuator,
- wherein the ratchet engages with the locking member along a locking direction, and the ratchet comprises a surface that extends at an acute angle along the locking direction so that while the drawer is being closed, the ratchet is pressed by the locking member in a direction against the locking direction.
A drawer block of a support system, the drawer block comprising:
- at least one drawer accommodation comprising a housing defining a receptacle;
- a drawer comprising a lock having an actuator and a mechanism configured to lock the drawer in the receptacle of the drawer accommodation;
- a receiver assembly that is electrically connected to the actuator and configured to convert an opening signal to an opening instruction for the actuator;
- and
- a code input device provided on the drawer block.
