BioFit Awarded Patent for Table Locking System
Friday, June 29, 2007
BioFit Engineered Products, a worldwide supplier of ergonomic seating solutions and tables, has been awarded a patent from the U.S. Patent Office for its CBT magnetic locking system. The advantage gives users greater flexibility in how they arrange seating without increasing the labor required for disconnecting the units.
Bowling Green, OH -- BioFit Engineered Products, a worldwide supplier of ergonomic seating solutions and tables, has been awarded a patent from the U.S. Patent Office for its CBT magnetic locking system -- a feature that enables two of the company's AdapTable™ Benches to be connected together to make one full-size cafeteria table. The advantage gives users greater flexibility in how they arrange seating without increasing the labor required for disconnecting the units.
While the CBT magnetic locking system has been available on BioFit AdapTable Benches for the last two years, this recognition is a significant accomplishment. According to BioFit Bowling Green assembly plant manager, John DeVriendt, the patent underscores the difference that makes BioFit AdapTable Benches stand out from the competition.
"No one else offers a bench/table that features anything close to our CBT magnets," said DeVriendt. "Our AdapTables let people of all strength levels easily connect two units to make one large table; then disconnect them by simply sliding the magnets apart. It's the perfect multipurpose seating solution for schools, training facilities, common areas and more."
AdapTable Benches are available in lengths of 6-, 7- and 8-feet, and heights of 27- and 29-inches. And, like all BioFit products, they are backed by a 13-year warranty.
The patent was issued on June 5, 2007; patent #7,226,125. To learn more about BioFit, log on to www.biofit.com or call 1-800-597-0246.
