Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Möbel, insbesondere einen Arbeits- oder Bürotisch mit einem Kabelkanal.The invention relates to a piece of furniture, in particular a work or office table with a cable channel.
Es ist bekannt, auf der Unterseite von Büro- und Arbeitstischen Kabelkanäle vorzusehen, in denen die für die Elektrifizierung, Büroarbeitsplätze etc. benötigten Strom- und Netzwerkkabel usw. verlegt werden können. Eine solche Anordnung ist z.B. aus
Zum Teil befinden sich diese Kabelkanäle in einem ausreichenden Abstand unterhalb der Unterseite einer Tischplatte, um einen Abstandsraum bereit zu stellen, worüber die Kabel in den Kabelkanal hineingelegt werden können.In part, these cable ducts are located at a sufficient distance below the underside of a table top to provide a distance space over which the cables can be placed in the cable duct.
Es ist auch bereits vorgeschlagen worden, eine Arbeits- oder Tischplatte verschiebbar oder um eine Horizontalachse aufklappbar zu gestalten, um an den darunter befindlichen Kabelkanal zu gelangen.It has also been proposed to make a work or table top slidable or hinged about a horizontal axis in order to get to the underlying cable channel.
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es eine weitere Verbesserung zu schaffen, die es mit einfachen Mitteln erlaubt, einen Kabelkanal gut zugänglich zu machen, um eine Verkabelung leicht und problemlos durchführen zu können.The object of the present invention is to provide a further improvement which allows it by simple means To make a cable channel easily accessible, in order to carry out a wiring easily and easily.
Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß entsprechend den im Anspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmalen gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.The object is achieved according to the features specified in
Mit der vorliegenden Erfindung wird eine einfache aber sehr effiziente Lösung geschaffen, um einen Kabelkanal - wie er üblicherweise an der Unterseite einer Arbeits- oder Tischplatte vorgesehen ist - zwischen einer Funktionsstellung und einer Verkabelungsstellung zu verstellen, in welcher er gut zugänglich ist, um entsprechende Kabel im Kabelkanal zu verlegen und bei Bedarf wieder zu entfernen.With the present invention, a simple but very efficient solution is provided to a cable duct - as it is usually provided on the underside of a work or table top - to adjust between a functional position and a wiring position in which it is easily accessible to appropriate cable to be laid in the cable duct and to be removed if necessary.
In der Funktionsstellung ist dabei der Kabelkanal wie üblich unterhalb der Tischplatte vorgesehen, wobei er gemäß der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung fast ohne relevanten Abstand zur Unterseite der Tischplatte angeordnet sein kann. Dadurch ergibt sich eine raumsparende Anordnung, in der sichergestellt ist, dass die Beinfreiheit nicht nachteilig unterhalb der Tischplatte beschränkt wird.In the functional position of the cable channel is provided as usual below the table top, where it can be arranged according to the solution according to the invention almost without relevant distance to the underside of the table top. This results in a space-saving arrangement in which it is ensured that the legroom is not adversely limited below the table top.
Um eine Verkabelung leicht und einfach vornehmen zu können, kann der Kabelkanal aber von dieser angehobenen Funktionsstellung in eine demgegenüber abgesenkte Verkabelungsstellung gebracht werden, in der ein vergleichsweise großer Abstandsraum zwischen der Oberseite des Kabelkanals und der Tisch- oder Arbeitsplattenunterseite zur Verfügung steht.In order to make cabling easy and simple, but the cable channel can be brought from this raised functional position in a lowered contrast cabling position in which a comparatively large distance space between the top of the cable channel and the table or worktop base is available.
Der erfindungsgemäße Kabelkanal ist dabei beispielsweise über einen oder vorzugsweise zumindest über zwei in Längsrichtung des Kabelkanals versetzt vorgesehene Grundkörper gehalten, die beispielsweise an der Tischplattenunterseite oder bevorzugt an einem unterhalb der Tischplatte parallel zum Kabelkanal verlaufenden Längsholm getragen oder verankert sind. Dieser Längsholm verbindet beispielsweise die ether stirnseitig vorgesehenen Trag- und Fußkonstruktionen des Tisches.The cable channel according to the invention is for example held over one or preferably at least two in the longitudinal direction of the cable channel provided base body, which are for example supported or anchored to the underside of the tabletop or preferably at a running below the table top parallel to the cable channel longitudinal spar. This longitudinal beam connects, for example, the ether frontally provided support and foot structures of the table.
Erfindungsgemäß sind nunmehr vorzugsweise zwei in Längsrichtung des Kabelkanals versetzt angeordnete Halteschienen vorgesehen, längs derer der Kabelkanal von seiner angehobenen Funktionsstellung in die Verkabelungsstellung abgesenkt werden kann. In dieser abgesenkten Stellung ist der Kabelkanal anschlagsbegrenzt gehalten. Entsprechend der Länge der Halteschiene wird ein ausreichender Abstandsraum zur Tischunterseite zur Durchführung der Verkabelung bereitgestellt. Nach Beendigung der Verkabelung kann der Kabelkanal wieder längs der vorzugsweise zumindest beiden Halteschienen angehoben werden, bis der Kabelkanal in seiner kennzeichnenden oberen Funktionsstellung wiederum verankert wird. Die Verankerung kann durch entsprechend geeignete Maßnahmen beispielsweise am Grundkörper erfolgen.According to the invention now preferably two in the longitudinal direction of the cable channel staggered retaining rails are provided, along which the cable channel can be lowered from its raised functional position in the wiring position. In this lowered position, the cable channel is kept stop limited. Corresponding to the length of the retaining rail, a sufficient clearance space is provided to the underside of the table for carrying out the wiring. After completion of the wiring of the cable channel can be raised again along the preferably at least two support rails until the cable channel is anchored again in its characteristic upper functional position. The anchoring can be done by appropriate measures, for example, on the body.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform durchsetzen die Halteschienen den Kabelkanal, wozu dieser mit entsprechenden Durchlassöffnungen versehen ist. Dabei sind die Halteschienen bevorzugt um eine oben liegende, horizontale Verschwenkachse beispielsweise mit dem erwähnten Grundkörper verbunden, so dass der Kabelkanal soweit angehoben werden kann, dass die horizontale Verschwenkachse unterhalb des Kabelkanals zu liegen kommt. Dies ermöglicht, dass die in abgesenkter Position des Kabelkanals mehr oder weniger vertikal herabhängenden Halteschienen um ihre oben liegende, vertikale Verschwenkachse beispielsweise um 90° verschwenkt werden können, bis sie parallel zum Kabelkanal an dessen Unterseite verlaufen und über einen dort vorgesehenen Fixiermechanismus, vorzugsweise einen Klapp- oder Klickmechanismus mit der Kabelkanalunterseite verbunden sind. Dadurch wird gleichzeitig der Kabelkanal gehalten.In a preferred embodiment, the support rails pass through the cable channel, for which purpose it is provided with corresponding passage openings. In this case, the retaining rails are preferably connected to an overhead, horizontal pivot axis, for example, with the aforementioned base body, so that the cable channel can be raised so far that the horizontal pivot axis comes to lie below the cable channel. This allows the in lowered position of the cable channel more or less vertically suspended support rails can be pivoted about their overhead vertical pivot axis, for example, 90 ° until they run parallel to the cable channel on the underside and a fixing mechanism provided there, preferably a folding or clicking mechanism with the cable channel bottom are connected. As a result, the cable channel is held at the same time.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die Halteschienen an einer oder zumindest vorzugsweise zwei gegenüberliegenden Seiten, vorzugsweise an ihren gegenüberliegenden Schmalseiten mit einer Riffelung versehen sind, deren maximaler Außenabstand so an die Durchtrittsöffnung in dem Kabelkanal angepasst ist, dass dieser nicht frei längs der Halteschiene bei herunter geschwenkter Halteschiene herunter fallen kann, sondern aufgrund einer dadurch bedingten Reibwirkung langsam herunter geschoben werden kann.In a preferred embodiment of the invention it is provided that the retaining rails are provided on one or at least two opposite sides, preferably on their opposite narrow sides with a corrugation whose maximum external distance is adapted to the passage opening in the cable channel, that this is not free longitudinally the retaining rail can fall down with down-retracted retaining rail, but can be slowly pushed down due to a frictional effect caused by it.
Die Halteschienen sind ,wie erwähnt, bevorzugt über Grundkörper gehalten, die von dem erwähnten Längsholm - der die bevorzugte Trageinrichtung für die Grundkörper bildet - seitlich wegragen und an diesem befestigt werden können. Dabei sind die Grundkörper dem Längsholm zugewandt liegend mit einem Einhängansatz und mit einem gegenüberliegenden Klemmansatz versehen, wodurch sie lösbar am Tragholm befestigt sind. Der Klemmansatz kann dabei bevorzugt über eine Schwenkverbindung dauerhaft mit dem Grundkörper verbunden sein, beispielsweise über ein Schwenk- oder Filmscharnier.The support rails are, as mentioned, preferably held above the base body, which project laterally from the aforementioned longitudinal beam - which forms the preferred support means for the base body and can be attached thereto. In this case, the main body facing the longitudinal spar lying are provided with a suspension set and with an opposite clamping collar, whereby they are releasably secured to the spar. The clamping attachment may preferably be permanently connected to the base body via a pivot connection, for example via a pivot or film hinge.

Das Ausführungsbeispiel wird nachfolgend an dem erwähnten Arbeits- oder Bürotisch 1 erläutert, von dem in
Eine Tisch- oder Arbeitsplatte 7 ist lediglich in der Seitenansicht gemäß
Bei der erläuterten Tischkonstruktion ist ein in Längsrichtung des Tisches oder der Tischplatte 7 verlaufender Tragholm 9 vorgesehen, der beispielsweise aus einem extrudierten Metall bestehen kann und dazu mehrere Kammern aufweist, wie aus der Schnittdarstellung gemäß
An der Ober- und Unterseite 9a bzw. 9b dieses Tragholms 9 sind Vertiefungen oder Hinterschneidungen 11 ausgebildet, an denen im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel zwei in Längsrichtung des Tragholms 9 versetzt liegende Grundkörper 13 verankert sind.Recesses or undercuts 11 are formed on the upper and lower sides 9a and 9b of this supporting
Diese Grundkörper 13 sind in Seitenansicht nach Art eines umgekehrten U's gestaltet, und weisen an der dem Tragholm 9 zugewandt liegenden Seite Befestigungselemente auf. Dazu ist der Grundkörper 13 an seiner Oberseite 9a mit einer oben liegenden Haltenase 17 versehen, die in eine nach oben weisende Hinterschneidung oder Vertiefung 11 im Grundkörper eingreift. An der Unterseite 9b des Grundkörpers 13 ist an dem benachbart zum Tragholm 9 liegenden Schenkel 13a eine Fixierbacke 19 ausgebildet, die beispielsweise über eine Rändelschraube 20 von unten her in den Schenkel 13a des Grundkörpers 13 eingeschraubt werden kann (
Durch eine Verbesserung der Handhabung dieser Befestigungseinrichtung können der Grundkörper und die Fixierbacke 19 beispielsweise über eine Scharnierverbindung, beispielsweise ein Filmscharnier oder in sonstiger Weise gelenkig miteinander verbunden sein, so dass die Fixierbacke 19 unverlierbar am Grundkörper 13 gehalten ist.By improving the handling of this fastening device, the base body and the fixing
An dem zum Tragholm 9 versetzt liegenden zweiten Schenkel 13b ist an der Unterseite eine Verschwenkachse 24 ausgebildet, an welcher eine Halteschiene 25 verschwenkbar gehalten ist (

Wie aus der Darstellung gemäß
Nach Durchführung der Verkabelung kann der Kabelkanal wieder längs der Halteschiene 25 in seine angehobene Position angehoben werden, und zwar ebenfalls wieder unter Überwindung der Reibwirkung zwischen der Riffelung 33a an den Halteschienen 25 und den Rändern der Durchtrittsöffnungen im Kabelkanalboden 3a. Bei Erreichen seiner obersten Funktionsstellung kann die erläuterte gegebenenfalls vorgesehene Klemmung oder eine dort vorgesehene Schnappeinrichtung wirken, so dass der Kabelkanal bereits in seiner angehobenen, in den
Um ein unerwünschtes Klappern zu vermeiden, können die Halteschienen und/oder die Kabelkanal-Boden-Unterseiten beispielsweise mit einer leicht elastischen, vorgespannten Federeinrichtung 37 versehen sein, die im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel leicht bogenförmig gestaltet ist und in horizontaler Fixierstellung der Halteschienen an der Unterseite des Kabelkanalbodens 3a anliegt. Dabei kann die erwähnte Federeinrichtung 37 beispielsweise an einer Stelle vorgesehen sein, d.h. bevorzugt in benachbarter Nähe zur Verschwenkachse 24. Mit anderen Worten ist also der Abstand dieser Federeinrichtung 37 zur Verschwenkachse 24 so gewählt, dass er kleiner als 50%, insbesondere kleiner als 40%, 30%, 20% und vorzugsweise sogar kleiner als 10% der gesamten Länge der Halteschiene 25 ist.In order to avoid unwanted rattling, the support rails and / or the cable channel bottom bottoms may be provided, for example, with a slightly elastic biased spring means 37 which is slightly arcuate in the embodiment shown and in horizontal fixing position of the support rails on the underside of the cable channel floor 3a is present. In this case, the mentioned spring means 37 may be provided, for example, at one point, i. In other words, therefore, the distance of this

Die erfindungsgemäße Verstellung für den erläuterten Kabelkanal 3 ist für den Fall eines Arbeits- oder Bürotisches beschrieben worden. Das beschriebene Prinzip zur Verankerung und Verstellung eines Kabelkanals kann jedoch bei allen Möbeln angewandt werden, bei welchen ein Kabelkanal in seiner Höhe relativ verstellt werden soll, insbesondere unterhalb einer Plattenkonstruktion.The inventive adjustment for the illustrated
Es ist bereits erwähnt worden, dass die Halteschienen 25 zumindest mittelbar über eine Trageinrichtung, vorzugsweise in Form eines Längsholms, gehalten und verankert sind. Genauso könnten die Halteschienen aber auch an der Unterseite einer anderen Trageinrichtung, beispielsweise in Form einer Wand, einer Tischplatte etc. direkt oder mittelbar gehalten sein, beispielsweise mittels eines Grundkörpers, der an der Tischunterseite angebracht ist. Ober entsprechende Verschwenkachsen 24 können auch hier die Halteschienen gegenüber einem so befestigten Grundkörper zwischen einer Verkabelungsposition und einer Funktionsstellung verstellt werden.It has already been mentioned that the retaining rails 25 are held and anchored, at least indirectly, by means of a carrying device, preferably in the form of a longitudinal spar. In the same way, however, the retaining rails could also be held directly or indirectly on the underside of another supporting device, for example in the form of a wall, a tabletop, for example by means of a base body which is attached to the underside of the table. Above corresponding pivot axes 24, the retaining rails can be adjusted between a cabling position and a functional position with respect to a base body mounted in this way.
Die erwähnte Verschwenkachse kann aus einer üblichen Verschwenkachse bestehen, insbesondere dann, wenn Halteschienen und Grundkörper verwendet werden, die aus entsprechend geeignetem Material, beispielsweise Metall, Kunststoff etc. bestehen. Genauso könnte an dieser Stelle aber auch eine biegeelastische Verschwenkeinrichtung vorgesehen sein. Der Begriff ist insoweit in keiner Weise auf bestimmte Ausführungsformen eingeschränkt.The aforementioned pivot axis may consist of a conventional pivot axis, in particular when holding rails and base body are used, which consist of appropriately suitable material, such as metal, plastic, etc. Equally, however, a flexurally elastic pivoting device could also be provided at this point. The term is in no way limited to specific embodiments.
