Abstract

The invention relates to an emergency power supply device (200) for an electromotive furniture drive (100) of a piece of furniture (1), comprising a housing in which at least one energy accumulator is arranged, a connection cable having at least two power lines and several auxiliary lines for connecting to the electromotive furniture drive which is to be associated therewith, a socket for connecting a control unit of the electromotive furniture drive which is to be associated therewith, at least one control element which, when actuated, electrically connects the electric connections of the at least one energy accumulator to the at least two power lines of the connection cable. The housing is designed as a shell housing comprising securing sections and an inner compartment for receiving the at least one energy accumulator, said at least one control element and at least one night light. The invention also relates to an electromotive furniture drive (100) and a piece of furniture (1).

Claims

1-16. -16. (canceled)

17. An emergency power supply device for an electromotive furniture drive of a piece of furniture, said emergency power supply device comprising:

a housing configured in the form of an envelope housing having fastening sections and an internal compartment;

at least one energy store arranged in the internal compartment of the housing;

a connection cable having at least two power lines and at least one auxiliary line for connection to the electromotive furniture drive; and

at least one operating element arranged in the internal compartment of the housing.

18. The emergency power supply device of claim 17, wherein the housing is a profile which is cut to length and has one transverse side which is closed by a transverse wall like a plug.

19. The emergency power supply device of claim 17, further comprising at least one nightlight arranged in the housing.

20. The emergency power supply device of claim 19, further comprising a movement detector or proximity switch configured to control the at least one nightlight.

21. The emergency power supply device of claim 17, further comprising a charging unit for the at least one energy store.

22. The emergency power supply device of claim 17, further comprising a further operating element, which is implemented as an electrical button for training operating units having control of a wireless transmission link (radio/infrared/ultrasound).

23. The emergency power supply device of claim 17, further comprising a further operating element as an auxiliary button, which is implemented as an electrical button for activating synchronization of devices to be associated.

24. The emergency power supply device of claim 17, further comprising a keyboard having keyboard elements, which are provided as operating elements for moving adjustment drives of the electromotive furniture drive.

25. The emergency power supply device of claim 17, further comprising a USB terminal.

26. The emergency power supply device of claim 17, further comprising at least one storage unit for storing drive-related data.

27. The emergency power supply device of claim 17, further comprising a Bluetooth unit.

28. The emergency power supply device of claim 27, wherein the Bluetooth unit is a Bluetooth converter and/or a WLAN converter, and is provided for activating the electromotive furniture drive and/or for a wireless data exchange.

29. The emergency power supply device of claim 17, wherein the auxiliary line of the connection cable is a control line and signal line, data line, and/or auxiliary energy line.

30. An electromotive furniture drive for adjusting a movable part of a piece of furniture, said electromotive furniture drive comprising:

an output element;

at least one adjustment drive having at least one electric motor, a speed-reducing gear coupled to the at least one electric motor and coupled in driving relationship to the output element to linearly displace and/or rotate the output element;

at least one control unit;

at least one operating unit operatively connected to the at least one control device to operate the at least one adjusting drive; and

an emergency power supply device including a housing configured in the form of an envelope housing having fastening sections and an internal compartment, at least one energy store arranged in the internal compartment of the housing, a connection cable having at least two power lines and at least one auxiliary line for connection to the electromotive furniture drive, and at least one operating element arranged in the internal compartment of the housing.

31. A piece of furniture, comprising:

at least one base element configured to couple the piece of furniture to a set up location, and

at least one support element having at least one part which is arranged movably in relation to the support element or in relation to a further support element or in relation to the base element, said at least one movably arranged part being constructed to be displaceable and/or pivotable; and

at least one electromechanical furniture drive coupled to the at least one movably arranged part and comprising an output element, at least one adjustment drive having at least one electric motor, a speed-reducing gear coupled to the at least one electric motor and coupled in driving relationship to the output element to linearly displace and/or rotate the output element, at least one control unit, at least one operating unit operatively connected to the at least one control device to operate the at least one adjusting drive, and an emergency power supply device including a housing configured in the form of an envelope housing having fastening sections and an internal compartment, at least one energy store arranged in the internal compartment of the housing, a connection cable having at least two power lines and at least one auxiliary line for connection to the electromotive furniture drive, and at least one operating element arranged in the internal compartment of the housing.

32. The piece of furniture of claim 31, wherein the control unit has a charging circuit for the at least one energy store of the emergency power supply device.
