Patent ID: 10433650

Abstract:
Linear dual actuator for lying or sitting furniture having at least two sections (2,3), which with one end is rotatably embedded in the article of furniture and where each section (2,3) with an arm (5,7) secured to a pivot shaft (4,6) can be adjusted by means of the linear dual actuator. The dual actuator comprises a housing (8) with a drive at each end, which comprises an electric motor (11), which through a transmission (12) is in driving connection with a spindle (13). On the spindle (13) is arranged an activation element (14) with a spindle nut in engagement with the spindle (13), where the activation element (14) can be brought into engagement with the arm (5,7) for adjusting the sections (2,3). In case of power failure there is the problem that the back rest and leg rest section cannot be lowered to a plane level, which can make the bed uncomfortable or completely impossible to sleep in. This problem is solved in that a rotating element in the drives comprises a connection (21), which is accessible from the outer side of the housing (8) for connecting a tool, e.g. an Allen key (22) for driving the respective drives for the back rest and leg rest section (2,3) for lowering of these to a horizontal position.
