Abstract

A table (TBL) with a height-adjustable tabletop (PL) comprises an electrical drive (EA) for adjusting the height of the tabletop (PL) and a braking mechanism (BR) for selective prevention of a downward movement of the tabletop (PL). A self-locking of the drive (EA) is designed in such a manner that the tabletop (PL) moves downward in the event of a defined load on the tabletop (PL). The table further comprises an energy accumulator (BAT, FE), wherein the table (TBL) is designed in such a manner that energy resulting from a downward movement of the tabletop (PL) is stored at least in part in the energy accumulator (BAT, FE).
