Die Tischplatten 3 und 4 weisen im Bereich ihrer beiden stirnseitigen Enden jeweils zwei parallel zueinander angeordnete Verriegelungs-Platten 22, 23 bzw. 24, 25 auf. Diese sind mit den Tischplatten 3, 4 verbunden und weisen in demselben Abstand zueinander wie die Verriegelungs-Zapfen 19 entlang der Längs-Richtung 8 zueinander versetzte Ausnehmungen 26 auf, die auch als Verriegelungs-Schlitze bezeichnet werden. Diese Ausnehmungen 26 haben die Form eines Schlüssellochs und bestehen aus einer kreisförmigen Öffnung 27 mit einem sich daran anschließenden Langloch 28. Die Langlöcher 28 der Verriegelungs-Platten 22, 23, 24 und 25 sind in dieselbe Richtung und senkrecht zur Längs-Richtung 8 ausgerichtet. Auf der der jeweiligen Tischplatte 3 bzw. 4 zugewandten Seite der Ausnehmungen 26 befindet sich eine Hinterschneidung 29, die tief genug ausgebildet ist, um die jeweiligen Verriegelungs-Zapfen 19 aufzunehmen.The table tops 3 and 4 have in the area of their two front ends two locking plates 22 arranged parallel to each other, 23 and 24, 25 respectively. These are connected to the table tops 3, 4 and have the same distance from one another as the locking pins 19 recesses 26 offset with respect to one another along the longitudinal direction 8, which are also referred to as locking slots. These recesses 26 have the shape of a keyhole and consist of a circular Opening 27 with an adjoining elongated hole 28. The elongated holes 28 of the locking plates 22, 23, 24 and 25 are in the same Direction and aligned perpendicular to the longitudinal direction 8. On the the respective table top 3 or 4 facing side of the recesses 26 there is an undercut 29 which is deep enough to receive the respective locking pin 19.

Im folgenden wird die Verbindung zweier Fußgestelle 5 mit der Tischplatte 4 beschrieben. Hierdurch entsteht ein als Tisch-Einheit 1 bezeichneter normaler, freistehender Tisch mit einer Tischplatte 4 und zwei endseitig angeordneten Fußgestellen 5. Die drei Verriegelungs-Zapfen 19 der Querträger 9 und 10 werden durch die Öffnungen 27 der Verriegelungs-Platten 24 bzw. 25 geschoben. Anschließend wird das Fußgestell 5 in Richtung der Langlöcher 28 verschoben, so daß die Köpfe 21 in Eingriff mit der Umgebung der Langlöcher 28 kommen. In dieser Position kann die Tischplatte 4 von dem Verriegelungs-Zapfen 19 nach oben nicht mehr abgezogen werden. Zur Arretierung wird der Betätigungs-Hebel 14 aus der in Figur 3 dargestellten Montage-Position in die in Figur 5 dargestellte Anschlag-Position verschwenkt. Hierdurch kommt der Exzenter-Abschnitt 18 der Exzenter-Scheibe 15 in Anschlag mit der Verriegelungs-Platte 24 bzw. 25, wodurch der Hals 20 gegen die jeweilige Platte 24 bzw. 25 gedrückt wird und das Fußgestell 5 relativ zur Tischplatte 4 beklemmt wird. Die Lage des Exzenter-Abschnitts 18 ist derart gewählt, daß der Bereich des größten radialen Abstandes von der Achse 12 in der Anschlag-Position in Schwenk-Richtung 30 jenseits des Kontaktbereichs zwischen der Exzenter-Scheibe 15 und der Verriegelungs-Platte 25 liegt. Hierdurch wird erreicht, daß die Anschlag-Position selbst-arretierend ist und sich der Betätigungs-Hebel 14 in der Anschlag-Position nicht von alleine lösen kann. Zum Entfernen des Fußgestells 5 werden die jeweiligen Betätigungs-Hebel 14 aus der Anschlag-Position in die Montage-Position entgegen der Schwenk-Richtung 30 verschwenkt, wodurch die Verbindung zwischen Verriegelungs-Zapfen 19 und Verriegelungs-Platte 24 bzw. 25 gelöst wird und eine Verschiebung des Fußgestells 5 in Richtung der Öffnungen 27 und eine anschließende Abnahme der Tischplatte 4 möglich ist.The following is the connection of two base frames 5 to the table top 4 described. This creates a normal, referred to as table unit 1, freestanding table with a table top 4 and two ends Base frames 5. The three locking pins 19 of the cross beams 9 and 10 are through the openings 27 of the locking plates 24th or 25 pushed. Then the base 5 in the direction of Elongated holes 28 moved so that the heads 21 are engaged with the environment of slots 28 come. In this position, the table top 4 can no longer be withdrawn from the locking pin 19 upwards. For locking purposes, the actuating lever 14 is shown in FIG Mounting position in the stop position shown in Figure 5 pivoted. As a result, the eccentric section 18 comes Eccentric disc 15 in abutment with the locking plate 24 or 25, whereby the neck 20 is pressed against the respective plate 24 or 25 and the foot frame 5 is clamped relative to the table top 4. The location of the Eccentric section 18 is selected such that the area of the largest radial Distance from the axis 12 in the stop position in the swivel direction 30 beyond the contact area between the eccentric disc 15 and the locking plate 25 is located. This ensures that the Stop position is self-locking and the operating lever 14th cannot release by itself in the stop position. To remove the Base 5, the respective actuating lever 14 from the stop position in the mounting position against the swivel direction 30 pivots, creating the connection between the locking pin 19 and locking plate 24 or 25 is released and a shift of the base frame 5 in the direction of the openings 27 and a subsequent one Removal of the table top 4 is possible.

Im folgenden wird beschrieben, wie zwei aneinander angrenzende Tischplatten 3 und 4 mit einem Fußgestell 5 verbunden werden können. Hierzu werden zwei der drei Verriegelungs-Zapfen 19 in die zwei dem Ende der Tischplatte 4 zugewandten Ausnehmungen 26 eingeführt. Der dritte am in Längs-Richtung 8 gelegenen Ende des Querträgers 9 bzw. 10 angeordnete Verriegelungs-Zapfen 19 steht über das freie Ende der Tischplatte 4 hervor. Die jeweils endseitig angeordneten Ausnehmungen 26 der Verriegelungs-Platten 22 und 23 werden mit dem vorstehenden Verriegelungs-Zapfen 19 in Eingriff gebracht. Anschließend wird das Fußgestell 5 in Richtung der Langlöcher 28 verschoben und der Betätigungs-Hebel 14 aus der Montage-Position in die Anschlag-Position verschwenkt. Die Tischplatten 3 und 4 sind nun mit einem gemeinsamen Fußgestell 5 verbunden. Auf die Weise ist es möglich, lange Tischketten herzustellen, die leicht miteinander verbunden und voneinander getrennt werden können. Darüber hinaus können bei langen Tischen Fußgestelle eingespart werden.The following describes how two adjacent table tops 3 and 4 can be connected to a base 5. For this two of the three locking pins 19 in the two the end of the Table top 4 facing recesses 26 introduced. The third on in Arranged longitudinal direction 8 end of the cross member 9 and 10 respectively Locking pin 19 protrudes over the free end of the table top 4. The recesses 26 of the locking plates arranged at each end 22 and 23 are with the above locking pin 19th engaged. Then the base 5 in the direction of Elongated holes 28 moved and the actuating lever 14 from the assembly position pivoted into the stop position. The table tops 3 and 4 are now connected to a common base 5. That way it is possible to make long table chains that are easily connected together and can be separated from each other.
