Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Arbeits- oder Bürotisch mit einem Tischgestell und einer vom Tischgestell getragenen Arbeitsplatte, bei dem das Tischgestell eine horizontale Quertraverse aufweist, deren Enden mit jeweils einem mit einem Fußelement versehenen Tischbein verbunden sind.The invention relates to a work or office table with a table frame and a worktop carried by the table frame, in which the table frame has a horizontal crossbar, the ends of which are each connected to a table leg provided with a foot element.
Ein Arbeits- oder Bürotisch dieser Art ist aus der DE 39 33 237 A bekannt. Dabei sind die Tischbeine unlösbar mit der Quertravers verbunden, je nach verwendeten Material verleimt oder verschweißt. Der Arbeits- oder Bürotisch nimmt daher stets seine sperrige Gebrauchsstellung ein, die für die Lagerung und den Transport einen erheblichen Raumbedarf bedingt.A work or office table of this type is known from DE 39 33 237 A. The table legs are permanently connected to the crossbar, glued or welded depending on the material used. The work or office table therefore always assumes its bulky position of use, which requires a considerable amount of space for storage and transport.
Es sind auch schon Bausätze für Arbeits- oder Bürotische bekannt, wie die DE 33 00 647 C2 zeigt. Die Teile des Arbeits- oder Bürotisches werden zerlegt raumsparend gelagert und transportiert. Dies bedingt aber einen erheblichen Montageaufwand am Einsatzort und es sind dafür Fachkräfte erforderlich.Kits for work or office tables are also known, as shown in DE 33 00 647 C2. The parts of the work or office table are stored and transported disassembled to save space. However, this requires a considerable amount of assembly work at the place of use and specialists are required for this.
Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, einen Arbeits- oder Bürotisch der eingangs erwähnten Art zu schaffen, der raumsparend gelagert und transportiert werden kann, am Einsatzort aber nur einfache, von einem Laien ausführbare Montagearbeiten erfordert.It is an object of the invention to provide a work or office table of the type mentioned at the outset, which can be stored and transported in a space-saving manner, but which only requires simple assembly work that can be carried out by a layperson at the site.
Diese Aufgabe wird nach der Erfindung dadurch gelöst, daß die der Quertraverse zugekehrten oberen Enden der Tischbeine jeweils mit einem senkrecht zur Längsachse des Tischbeines gerichteten und am Tischbein vorstehenden Verbindungselement fest verbunden sind, daß die Verbindungselemente der Tischbeine in der Gebrauchsstellung jeweils mittels zweier, in Längsrichtung der Quertraverse beabstandeten Schraubverbindungen mit den Enden der Quertraverse verbunden sind, wobei die Schraubverbindungen durch einen auf ihren Abstand ausgelegten Längsschlitz der Verbindungselemente geführt sind, und daß nach dem Entfernen der den Enden der Quertraverse abgekehrten Schraubverbindungen und Lösen der den Enden der Quertraverse zugekehrten Schraubverbindungen die Tischbeine auf die Unterseite der Quertraverse in eine Ablagestellung einklappbar und durch Festziehen der den Enden der Quertraverse zugekehrten Schraubverbindungen in den Ablagestellungen arretierbar sind.This object is achieved according to the invention in that the upper ends of the table legs facing the crossbar are each firmly connected to a connecting element directed perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the table leg and projecting from the table leg, in that the connecting elements of the table legs in the position of use each by means of two, in the longitudinal direction the crossbar spaced screw connections are connected to the ends of the crossbar, the screw connections are guided through a spaced longitudinal slot of the connecting elements, and that after removing the screw connections facing away from the ends of the crossbar and loosening the screw connections facing the ends of the crossbar the table legs can be folded into a storage position on the underside of the crossbar and can be locked in the storage positions by tightening the screw connections facing the ends of the crossbar.
Die Tischbeine sind schon in der richtigen Position der Quertraverse zugeordnet und brauchen bei gelockerten Schraubverbindungen senkrecht zur Quertraverse gestellt, mit ihren Verbindungselementen in die Quertraverse eingeschoben und mit den weiteren Schraubverbindungen mit dieser verschraubt werden. Diese einfachen Montagearbeiten erfordern keine Spezialwerkzeuge und können von jedem Laien vorgenommen werden. In der Ablagestellung der Tischbeine bestimmt daher die Arbeitsplatte und das Tischgestell mit der Quertraverse im wesentlichen den Raumbedarf für die Lagerung und den Transport des Arbeits- oder Bürotisches.The table legs are already assigned to the crossbar in the correct position and need to be placed perpendicular to the crossbar when the screw connections are loosened, inserted with their connecting elements into the crossbar and screwed to the other screw connections. This simple assembly work does not require any special tools and can be done by any layperson. In the storage position of the table legs, the worktop and the table frame with the crossbeam therefore essentially determine the space required for the storage and transportation of the work or office table.
Ist nach einer Ausgestaltung vorgesehen, daß die Quertraverse als U-Profilabschnitt mit Seitenschenkeln und einem Basisschenkel ausgebildet ist, daß die Verbindungselemente mit den Seitenschenkeln der Quertraverse verschraubt sind und daß die Tischbeine durch Aussparungen an den Enden des Basisschenkels der Quertraverse geführt sind, dann schließen sich die Tischbeine optimal an die Enden der Quertraverse an, da die Verbindungselemente von der Quertraverse aufgenommen werden.Is provided according to an embodiment that the crossbar is designed as a U-profile section with side legs and a base leg, that the connecting elements are screwed to the side legs of the crossbar and that Table legs are guided through recesses at the ends of the base leg of the crossbar, then the table legs connect optimally to the ends of the crossbar, since the connecting elements are received by the crossbar.
Damit die Verwendung der Quertraverse als Kabelkanal nicht beeinträchtigt wird, ist zudem vorgesehen, daß die Verbindungselemente selbst als U-Profilabschnitte mit Seitenschenkeln und einem Basisschenkel ausgebildet sind, daß die Seitenschenkel der Verbindungselemente mit fluchtenden Längsschlitzen versehen sind und daß die Basisschenkel der Verbindungselemente mit Ausnehmungen versehen sind, die in der Gebrauchsstellung der Tischbeine zumindest teilweise mit den Aussparungen des Basisschenkels der Quertraverse zur Deckung gebracht sind.So that the use of the crossbar as a cable duct is not impaired, it is also provided that the connecting elements themselves are designed as U-profile sections with side legs and a base leg, that the side legs of the connecting elements are provided with aligned longitudinal slots and that the base legs of the connecting elements are provided with recesses are, which are in the use position of the table legs at least partially made to coincide with the recesses of the base leg of the crossbar.
Die Stabilität und Festigkeit der Verbindungen zwischen den Tischbeinen und der Quertraverse läßt sich dadurch verbessern, daß die Seitenschenkel der Verbindungselemente jeweils mittels zweier Schraubverbindungen mit den angrenzenden Seitenschenkeln der Quertraverse verschraubt sind, wobei die Außenkontur der Verbindungselemente an den Aufnahmequerschnitt der U-förmigen Quertraverse abgestimmt ist.The stability and strength of the connections between the table legs and the crossbar can be improved in that the side legs of the connecting elements are each screwed to the adjacent side legs of the crossbar by means of two screw connections, the outer contour of the connecting elements being matched to the receiving cross section of the U-shaped crossbar .
Ist vorgesehen, daß die Verbindungselemente mit den oberen Stirnseiten der Tischbeine fest verbunden sind und im Abstand zur vertikalen Außenseite der Tischbeine enden und daß die Enden der Quertraverse mittels Abschlußelementen verschlossen sind, dann können die Enden der Quertraverse verschlossen werden, wobei die Abschlußelemente auch zur Kopplung mit einem weiteren Arbeits- oder Bürotisch verwendet werden können.It is provided that the connecting elements are firmly connected to the upper end faces of the table legs and end at a distance from the vertical outside of the table legs and that the ends of the crossbar are closed by means of end elements, then the ends of the crossbar can be closed, the end elements also for coupling can be used with another work or office table.
Ein einfaches Tischgestell mit einer kleinen Bauhöhe in der Ablagestellung wird dadurch erhalten, daß die Arbeitsplatte von vier Tragarmen getragen ist, die an der Quertraverse und der Unterseite der Arbeitsplatte gelenkig angebracht sind. Über die Tragarme kann die Arbeitsplatte in der Höhe verändert und eingestellt werden.A simple table frame with a small height in the storage position is obtained in that the worktop by four support arms is carried, which are articulated to the crossbar and the underside of the worktop. The height of the worktop can be changed and adjusted using the support arms.
Ist nach einer weiteren Ausgestaltung vorgesehen, daß die senkrecht zur Längsachse der Verbindungselemente stehenden Seite der Tischbeine als im Querschnitt U-förmige Kabelkanäle ausgebildet sind, welche mittels Abdeckungen verschließbar sind.According to a further embodiment, it is provided that the side of the table legs which is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the connecting elements is designed as a U-shaped cable duct in cross section, which can be closed by means of covers.

Bei dem in den Fig. 1 und 2 dargestellten Arbeits- oder Bürotisch bildet die Quertraverse 10 ein wesentliches Element des Tischgestelles. An beiden Längsseiten der Quertraverse 10 sind jeweils über Lagerelemente 13 zwei Tragarme 12 angelenkt, die zur Vorder- bzw. zur Rückseite der Arbeitsplatte 11 gerichtet sind. An der Unterseite der Arbeitsplatte 11 sind Lagerelemente 14 angebracht, an denen die Tragarme 12 angelenkt sind. Mit diesen beiden Paaren von Tragarmen 12 kann die Höhe der Arbeitsplatte 11 verändert und eingestellt werden. Gezeigt ist die Ablagestellung, in der die Tragarme 12 die unterste Schwenkstellung einnehmen.In the work or office table shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the
An jedem Ende der Quertraverse 10 ist ein Tischbein 15 angebracht, das am unteren Ende ein Fußelement 16 trägt, welches sich zur Vorderseite und/oder Rückseite des Arbeits- oder Bürotisches erstreckt.At each end of the
Wie die Fig. 3 zeigt, ist am oberen Ende des Tischbeines 15 ein Verbindungselement 17 fest angebracht, welches senkrecht zur Längsachse des Tischbeines 15 ausgerichtet ist und an einer Seite des Tischbeines 15 vorsteht. Die Quertraverse 10 ist als Kabelkanal ausgebildet und besteht im Ausführungsbeispiel aus einem im Querschnitt U-förmigen Profilabschnitt mit den beiden Seitenschenkeln 22 und dem Basisschenkel 21. Das Verbindungselement 17 ist ebenfalls als U-Profilabschnitt ausgebildet und mit der Außenkontur auf den Aufnahmequerschnitt der Quertraverse 10 so abgestimmt, daß die Seitenschenkel 24 des Verbindungselementes 17 an den Seitenschenkeln 22 der Quertraverse 10 anliegen.As shown in FIG. 3, a connecting
Die Seitenschenkel 24 des Verbindungselementes 17 sind mit fluchtenden Längsschlitzen 18 versehen, durch die die Schraubverbindungen 19 und 20 geführt sind. Die Längsschlitze 18 sind auf den Abstand der Schraubverbindungen 19 und 20 abgestimmt. Der Basisschenkel 21 der Quertraverse 10 ist am Ende mit einer Aussparung 23 versehen, durch die das Tischbein 15 herausgeführt ist. Diese Aussparung 23 wird von der Ausnehmung 26 in dem Basisschenkel 25 des Verbindungselementes 17 überdeckt, so daß Kabel in die Quertraverse 10 eingeführt werden können. Das Tischbein 15 bildet an den Seiten, die senkrecht zur Längsachse der Quertraverse 10 stehen, einen U-förmigen Kabelkanal, der mittels einer Abdeckung 28 abgedeckt werden kann. In diesen Kabelkanälen des Tischbeines 15 können Kabel hochgeführt und durch die Aussparung 23 in der Quertraverse 10 und die Ausnehmung 25 in dem Verbindungselement 17 in den von der Quertraverse 10 gebildeten Kabelkanal eingeführt werden.The
In der Gebrauchsstellung nehmen die Schraubverbindungen 19 und 20 in den Längsschlitzen 18 die Endstellungen ein, wie die Fig. 3 zeigt. Da jeder Seitenschenkel 24 des Verbindungselementes 17 mit getrennten Schraubverbindungen 19 und 20 am zugekehrten Seitenschenkel 22 der Quertraverse 10 angeschraubt ist, bleibt der Raum zwischen den Seitenschenkeln 24 des Verbindungselementes 17 frei für die Durchführung von Kabeln.In the use position, the
Werden die Schraubverbindungen 19 gelöst und die Schraubverbindungen 20 gelockert, dann kann das Tischbein 15 mit dem Verbindungselement 17 so weit aus der Quertraverse 10 gezogen werden, bis die Schraubverbindungen 20 am anderen Ende der Längsschlitze 18 anstoßen. Diese Auszugsstellung ist gestrichelt eingezeichnet, wie mit den Bezugszeichen 15', 17' und 18' ersichtlich ist. Dann kann das Tischbein auf die Unterseite der Quertraverse 10 eingeschwenkt werden, wobei wie mit 18'' gekennzeichnet ist, der Längsschlitz 18'' nach unten gerichtet ist und das Verbindungselement 17'' durch die Aussparung 23 ragt. Das Tischbein 15'' steht dabei parallel zur Quertraverse 10 und durch Festziehen der Schraubverbindungen 20 wird das Tischbein 18'' in der Ablagestellung arretiert. Beide Tischbeine 15 sind in gleicher Weise mit der Quertraverse 10 verbunden. Die Schraubverbindungen 19 können mit der Quertraverse 10 verbunden bleiben, so daß sie beim Einstellen der Tischbeine 15 in die Gebrauchsstellung zur Verfügung stehen.If the
Nach dem Lockern der Schraubverbindungen 20, die als Schwenkachse dienen, kann das Verbindungselement 17 nach dem Hochschwenken in die Stellung 17' wieder in die Quertraverse 10 eingeschoben werden. Die Schraubverbindungen 19 werden angebracht und die Schraubverbindungen 20 festgezogen. Die Tischbeine 15 nehmen dann eine stabile Gebrauchsstellung ein.After loosening the
Wie der Fig. 3 weiterhin zu entnehmen ist, sind die Verbindungselemente 17 so mit der oberen Stirnseite des Tischbeines 15 verbunden, daß sie zur vertikalen Außenseite des Tischbeines 15 einen definierten Abstand einnehmen. Ist das Verbindungselement 17 mit der Quertraverse 10 verbunden, dann kann die Stirnseite der Quertraverse 10 mit einem Abschlußelement 27 verschlossen werden, das auch als Koppelelement zum Anschluß eines weiteren Arbeits- oder Bürotisches verwendet werden kann. Die Quertraverse 10 bildet einen durchgehenden Kabelkanal, der auch durch die U-förmigen Verbindungselemente 17 an den beiden Enden nicht unterbrochen wird und Zugang zu den inneren Kabelkanälen der Tischbeine 15 hat. Mit einer vorzugsweise aufrastbaren Abdeckung 30 kann die Quertraverse 10 verschlossen werden.As can also be seen from FIG. 3, the connecting
