Abstract

Brackets (5,6) each have coupling bushes (12) that support cross-bracing (8) for leg elements (3,4) with rotating motion and on-axis slide. With a torque-proof spring-loaded link to the cross-bracing, a linkage sleeve (13) inserts into a coupling bush and is removed from it by sliding the cross-bracing along an axis (X).

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Klapptisch nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a folding table according to the preamble of claim 1.

Klapptische besitzen Beinelemente, die für eine Stapelbarkeit abzukippen sind, um in Büro- und Tagungsräumen oder sonstigen Mehrzweckhallen zeitweise aufgestellt und mit wenig Raumbedarf verstaut werden zu können. Für die Klapptische sind im Stand der Technik unterschiedliche Klappmechanismen bekannt. Aus DE 10 2004 040 344 B3 ist beispielsweise ein Klapptisch mit einer Drehgelenkhalterung für die Beinelemente bekannt, bei der eine mittlere Verriegelung mittels eines Einrastelementes erfolgt. Diese Drehlager und Verriegelungselemente sind aufwendig und beeinträchtigen die Funktionalität eines Klapptisches.Folding tables have leg elements that can be tilted for stacking, so that they can be temporarily placed in office and conference rooms or other multipurpose halls and stowed away with minimal space requirements. For the folding tables different folding mechanisms are known in the art. Out DE 10 2004 040 344 B3 For example, a folding table with a rotary joint support for the leg elements is known, in which a central locking takes place by means of a latching element. These pivot bearings and locking elements are expensive and affect the functionality of a folding table.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, einen Klapptisch zu schaffen, der einen einfachen Klappmechanismus besitzt und dabei den Anforderungen an Funktionalität und Ästhetik gerecht wird.The object of the invention is therefore to provide a folding table, which has a simple folding mechanism and thereby meets the requirements of functionality and aesthetics.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is solved by the features of claim 1.

Hierdurch wird ein Klapptisch geschaffen, der durch einen Schiebemechanismus eine Arretierung ausrastet und dadurch ein stapelbares Umlegen der Beinelemente ermöglicht. Der Schiebemechanismus ist einfach handhabbar, da die Betätigung über eine Hebelwirkung erfolgen kann. Die Verriegelung erfolgt durch ein Einkuppeln. Auf die Querverstrebung eines Beinelementes wird eine Kupplungshälfte, die Kupplungshülse, aufgezogen, die zusammen mit der Querverstrebung verschiebbar ist gegenüber einer zweiten Kupplungshälfte, die an einem Lager zur drehverschieblichen Befestigung der Querverstrebung an der Tischplatte ausgebildet ist. Eine Federvorspannung gewährleistet den Anpressdruck für die Kupplungsverbindung, die ein Arretieren der Beinelemente in senkrechter Stellung ermöglicht. Die Feder ist vorzugsweise eine Druckfeder. Der Klappmechanismus nutzt folglich ein Verschieben des Beinelementes zum Ein- und Ausrücken der Kupplung, wobei das Verschieben der beiden Beinelemente eines Klapptisches gegenläufig erfolgen kann, wodurch eine raumsparende Nebeneinanderanordnung derselben ermöglicht werden kann.In this way, a folding table is created, which disengages a lock by a sliding mechanism and thereby allows a stackable folding the leg members. The sliding mechanism is easy to handle, since the operation can be done via a lever action. The locking is done by engaging. On the cross strut of a leg member is a coupling half, the coupling sleeve, raised, which is displaceable together with the cross brace against a second coupling half, which is formed on a bearing for drehverschieblichen attachment of the crossbar to the table top. A spring preload ensures the contact pressure for the coupling connection, which allows locking of the leg members in a vertical position. The spring is preferably a compression spring. The folding mechanism thus uses a displacement of the leg member for engagement and disengagement of the clutch, wherein the displacement of the two leg members of a folding table can take place in opposite directions, whereby a space-saving juxtaposition thereof can be made possible.

Der erfindungsgemäße Klappmechanismus ist einfach handhabbar, weist weniger aufwendige Funktionselemente auf, entspricht dabei äußerlich den designerischen Erwartungen und ermöglicht den Bau eines platzsparend stapelbaren Klapptisches.The folding mechanism according to the invention is easy to handle, has less expensive functional elements, corresponds externally the designerischen expectations and allows the construction of a space-saving stackable folding table.

Vorzugsweise ist die Kupplung als Klauenkupplung ausgebildet. Die Klauenflanken ermöglichen ein zentriertes Arretieren. Die Klauen ermöglichen die Ausbildung eines Klemmkonus, der den Kraft- und Reibschluss verbessert. Die Beinelemente können so sicher verriegelt werden und besitzen einen zuverlässigen stabilen Stand. Ferner können die Klauenenden als Rastelemente genutzt werden, in dem ein Formschluss ausbildbar ist. Die Klauenkupplungsteile können auch nach Art einer Krone ausgebildet sein. Ein unbeabsichtigtes Auslösen des Klappmechanismus ist ausgeschlossen.Preferably, the coupling is designed as a dog clutch. The claw flanks allow a centered locking. The claws allow the formation of a clamping cone, which improves the force and frictional engagement. The leg elements can be securely locked and have a reliable stable stand. Furthermore, the jaw ends can be used as locking elements in which a positive connection can be formed. The jaw clutch parts may also be designed in the manner of a crown. Unintentional release of the folding mechanism is excluded.

Ein Exzenter kann für den Antrieb des Schiebemechanismus vorgesehen sein. Eine solche Exzentrizität kann gleich einem halben Schieberhub sein.An eccentric may be provided for driving the sliding mechanism. Such eccentricity can be equal to half a slide stroke.

Weitere Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind der nachfolgenden Beschreibung und den Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen.Further embodiments of the invention are described in the following description and the dependent claims.

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Klapptisch 1 mit einer Tischplatte 2 und mit mindestens zwei Beinelementen 3, 4, die an Beschlägen 5, 6 um eine Achse X schwenkbar gelagert sind. Die Beschläge 5, 6 sind an einer Tischunterseite 7 befestigt, und es sind vorzugsweise zwei zueinander beabstandete Beschläge 5, 6 zum Lagern eines Beinelementes 3, 4 vorgesehen. Die Positionierung der Beschläge 5, 6 gegenüber der Tischplatte 2 bestimmt die Position der Beinelemente 3, 4 zur Tischplatte 2.The invention relates to a folding table 1 with a table top 2 and at least two leg members 3, 4 which are pivotally mounted on fittings 5, 6 about an axis X. The fittings 5, 6 are fixed to a table bottom 7, and there are preferably two mutually spaced fittings 5, 6 for supporting a leg member 3, 4 is provided. The positioning of the fittings 5, 6 relative to the table top 2 determines the position of the leg members 3, 4 to the table top second

Die Beinelemente 3, 4 sind querverstrebt mit jeweils einer Querverstrebung 8 zwischen jeweils zwei Tischbeinen 9, 10. Die Beinelemente 3, 4 sind mit ihren Querverstrebungen 8 an den Beschlägen 5, 6 gelagert. Mittels einer Verriegelungseinrichtung 11 sind die Beinelemente 3, 4 in einer ein- und einer ausgeklappten Endstellung arretierbar.The leg members 3, 4 are cross-braced, each with a cross brace 8 between each two leg legs 9, 10. The leg members 3, 4 are with their Cross struts 8 on the fittings 5, 6 stored. By means of a locking device 11, the leg elements 3, 4 can be locked in an on and an unfolded end position.

Die Verriegelungseinrichtung 11 umfasst Beschläge 5, 6 mit jeweils einer Kupplungsbuchse 12, die eine Querverstrebung 8 eines Beinelementes 3, 4 drehbeweglich und axial verschieblich lagert. Die Kupplungsbuchse 12 ist fest verbunden mit dem Beschlag 5, 6 und bildet für die Querverstrebung 8 ein Führungslager, gegenüber dem die Querverstrebung 8 um die Achse X schwenken und entlang der Achse X axial verschiebbar ist. Für eine möglichst geradlinige Ausrichtung der Querverstrebung 8 und deren Führung sind vorzugsweise beide zur Lagerung der Querverstrebung 8 vorgesehenen Beschläge 5, 6 mit einer solchen Kupplungsbuchse 12 ausgebildet.The locking device 11 comprises fittings 5, 6, each with a coupling bushing 12, which supports a transverse strut 8 of a leg element 3, 4 rotatably and axially displaceable. The coupling bush 12 is fixedly connected to the fitting 5, 6 and forms for the crossbar 8 a guide bearing against which the cross bar 8 pivot about the axis X and along the axis X is axially displaceable. For a possible rectilinear alignment of the crossbar 8 and the guide, both for mounting the cross brace 8 provided fittings 5, 6 are preferably formed with such a coupling bush 12.

Die Verriegelungseinrichtung 11 umfasst ferner eine drehfest mit einer Querverstrebung 8 verbundene federbelastet in die Kupplungsbuchse 12 einrückbare Kupplungshülse 13. Eine solche Kupplungshülse 13 ist einer jeden Kupplungsbuchse 12 zugeordnet zur Ausbildung einer Kupplung, die die Querverstrebung 8 in mindestens zwei Endstellungen gegenüber dem Beschlag 5, 6 arretiert. Der hierfür erforderliche Anpressdruck wird durch eine Federbelastung einer Feder 14 ausgeübt.The locking device 11 further includes a rotatably connected to a cross bar 8 spring-loaded in the coupling sleeve 12 engageable coupling sleeve 13. Such a coupling sleeve 13 is associated with each coupling sleeve 12 for forming a coupling, the crossbar 8 in at least two end positions relative to the fitting 5, the sixth locked. The required contact pressure is exerted by a spring load of a spring 14.

Durch axiales Verschieben der Querverstrebung 8 ist die Kupplungshülse 13 ausrückbar und kuppelt in zwei Endstellungen mit ein- und ausgeklappten Beinelementen 3, 4 bei unterschiedlich verschwenkten Stellungen gegenüber der Achse X wie nachstehend im Einzelnen beschrieben wird.By axial displacement of the crossbar 8, the coupling sleeve 13 is disengaged and couples in two end positions with folded and unfolded leg members 3, 4 at different pivoted positions relative to the axis X as will be described in detail below.

Die Fig. 1 und Fig. 2 zeigt den Klapptisch 1 mit eingeklappten Beinelementen 3, 4. Die Kupplungsbuchse 12 bildet für die Kupplungshülse 13 ein Widerlager, an dem sich die Kupplungshülse 13 abstützt. Die Kupplungshülse 13 weist zur Achse X winkelverstellt angeordnete Kupplungselemente 15, 16 auf, die beim Ein- oder Ausklappen der Beinelemente 3, 4 in einen Wirkeingriff mit der Kupplungsbuchse 12 treten. Die Kupplungshülse 13 weist vorzugsweise zumindest absatzweise konisch ausgebildete Kupplungselemente 16 auf, um einen Klemmkonus auszubilden.The Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 shows the folding table 1 with folded leg elements 3, 4. The coupling bush 12 forms an abutment for the coupling sleeve 13, on which the coupling sleeve 13 is supported. The coupling sleeve 13 has angularly arranged to the axis X arranged coupling elements 15, 16, which upon insertion or unfolding of the leg members 3, 4 in an operative engagement with the coupling socket 12th to step. The coupling sleeve 13 preferably has at least intermittent conical coupling elements 16 in order to form a clamping cone.

Die Kupplungshülse 13 und die Kupplungsbuchse 12 sind vorzugsweise als Klauenkupplungsteile ausgebildet, deren Klauenflanken als ein Kupplungselement 16 einen Klemmkonus ausbilden können. Vorzugsweise treten beide Klauenflanken einer Klaue 30 in Eingriff mit einer Klaue 31 der Kupplungsbuchse 12. Vorzugsweise sind jeweils zwei Klauen 30, 31 umfänglich versetzt angeordnet vorgesehen. Das Klauenkupplungsteil der Kupplungshülse 13 kann einen Klauenkopf aufweisen, bei dem das Kupplungselement 15 einen Formschluss ermöglicht mit der Kupplungsbuchse 12, wodurch die Beinelemente 3, 4 in der eingeklappten Endstellung arretierbar sind. Vorzugsweise ist der Formschluss flach ausgestaltet, um das Entriegeln zu vereinfachen, d.h., dass nur eine geringe Kraft zum Lösen der Arretierung erforderlich ist.The coupling sleeve 13 and the coupling bushing 12 are preferably designed as claw coupling parts whose claw flanks can form a clamping cone as a coupling element 16. Preferably, both claw flanks of a claw 30 engage with a claw 31 of the coupling bushing 12. Preferably, two claws 30, 31 are arranged circumferentially offset. The jaw coupling part of the coupling sleeve 13 may have a jaw head, in which the coupling element 15 enables a positive connection with the coupling socket 12, whereby the leg members 3, 4 can be locked in the folded-in end position. Preferably, the form fit is made flat to facilitate unlocking, that is, only a small force is required to release the lock.

Gemäß Fig. 1 und Fig. 2 stehen Kupplungshülse 13 und Kupplungsbuchse 12 jeweils in einem Wirkeingriff, der die Beinelemente 3, 4 im eingeklappten Zustand arretiert. Die Feder 14, bei der es sich vorzugsweise um eine Druckfeder handelt, stützt sich an der Kupplungsbuchse 12 und einer an der Querverstrebung 8 aufgezogenen Federabstützung 17 ab, die beabstandet zur Kupplungshülse 13 angeordnet ist. Durch die Federabstützung 17, die einen Federsitz bildet, wirkt eine Federkraft auf die Kupplungshülse 13, so dass diese mit einem Anpressdruck in die Kupplungsbuchse 12 einrückbar ist.According to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 stand coupling sleeve 13 and coupling bushing 12 in each case in an operative engagement, which locks the leg members 3, 4 in the folded state. The spring 14, which is preferably a compression spring, is supported on the coupling bushing 12 and a spring support 17 mounted on the transverse strut 8, which is arranged at a distance from the coupling sleeve 13. By the spring support 17, which forms a spring seat, a spring force acts on the coupling sleeve 13, so that it can be engaged with a contact pressure in the coupling sleeve 12.

Die Kupplungsbuchse 12 weist Kupplungselemente 18, 19 auf, die mit Kupplungselementen 15, 16 an der Kupplungshülse 13 korrespondieren. In der dargestellten Endstellung mit eingeklappten Beinelementen 3, 4 stehen die Kupplungselemente 15, 18 in Eingriff miteinander. Eine Federachse der Feder 14 und die Achse X sind vorzugsweise gleichgerichtet.The coupling bushing 12 has coupling elements 18, 19, which correspond to coupling elements 15, 16 on the coupling sleeve 13. In the illustrated end position with folded leg members 3, 4, the coupling elements 15, 18 are engaged with each other. A spring axis of the spring 14 and the axis X are preferably rectified.

Fig. 2, Fig. 3 und Fig. 4 zeigen die Betätigung eines Schiebeelementes 20, wodurch die Querverstrebung 8 eines Beinelementes 3, 4 axial verschiebbar ist. Das Schiebeelement 20 greift vorzugsweise an der Federabstützung 17 an, um die Kupplungshülse 13 auszurücken, d.h. die Kupplungsverbindung zu lösen. Das Schiebeelement 20 ist vorzugsweise ein Exzenter zum Umwandeln einer Drehbewegung eines Betätigungshebels 21 in eine Schubbewegung. Die axiale Verschiebung erfolgt gegen die Federkraft der Feder 14, die über das Schiebelement 20 komprimierbar ist und einen Federweg als Schubweg der Querverstrebung bereitstellt. Fig. 2 . Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 show the operation of a sliding element 20, whereby the cross-brace 8 of a leg member 3, 4 is axially displaceable. The sliding element 20 preferably engages the spring support 17 to disengage the coupling sleeve 13, that is to release the coupling connection. The sliding member 20 is preferably an eccentric for converting a rotational movement of an operating lever 21 in a pushing movement. The axial displacement takes place against the spring force of the spring 14, which is compressible via the sliding element 20 and provides a spring travel as a thrust stroke of the cross brace.

Mit dem Lösen der Kupplungsverbindung zwischen Kupplungshülse 13 und Kupplungsbuchse 12 durch axiales Verschieben der Querverstrebung 8 können die Beinelemente 3, 4 aufgeklappt werden, wie die Pfeile in Fig. 3 verdeutlichen. Das Aufklappen der Beinelemente 3, 4 erfolgt durch ein Verschwenken der Querverstrebung 8 um die Achse X (Fig. 1) mit der Folge, dass die Kupplungshülse 13 gegenüber der Kupplungsbuchse 12 ebenfalls verschwenkt wird.With the release of the coupling connection between the coupling sleeve 13 and coupling bush 12 by axial displacement of the crossbar 8, the leg elements 3, 4 can be opened, as the arrows in Fig. 3 clarify. The leg members 3, 4 are opened by pivoting the crossbar 8 about the axis X (FIG. Fig. 1 ), with the result that the coupling sleeve 13 with respect to the coupling sleeve 12 is also pivoted.

Die Fig. 5 und Fig. 6 zeigen den Klapptisch 1 mit ausgeklappten Beinelementen 3, 4 und noch gelöster Kupplungsverbindung zwischen Kupplungshülse 13 und Kupplungsbuchse 12. In Fig. 5 wird durch Pfeile angezeigt, dass durch axiales Verschieben der Querverstrebung 8 die Kupplungsverbindung unter der Wirkung der Federkraft der Feder 14 geschlossen wird. Vorzugsweise sind die an gegenüberliegenden Enden einer Tischplatte gelagerten Beinelemente 3, 4 gegenläufig verschiebbar, damit diese in eingeklappter Stellung (vgl. Fig. 1) nebeneinander positionierbar sind und in ausgeklappter Stellung symmetrisch zur Tischplatte 2 positionierbar sind.The Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 show the folding table 1 with unfolded leg elements 3, 4 and still released coupling connection between the coupling sleeve 13 and the coupling sleeve 12. In Fig. 5 is indicated by arrows that by axial displacement of the cross-brace 8, the coupling connection is closed under the action of the spring force of the spring 14. Preferably, the leg elements 3, 4 mounted on opposite ends of a table top are displaceable in opposite directions, so that they are in the folded-in position (cf. Fig. 1 ) are positionable side by side and in the unfolded position symmetrically to the table top 2 can be positioned.

Fig. 7 und Fig. 8 zeigen den Klapptisch 1 mit ausgeklappten Beinelementen 3, 4, die durch eine federbelastete Kupplung zwischen Kupplungshülse 13 und Kupplungsbuchse 12 arretiert sind. Die Kupplungselemente 16, 19 der Kupplungshülse 13 und Kupplungsbuchse 12 stehen nunmehr in Eingriff und verriegeln die Beinelemente 3, 4. Ein Vergleich der Fig. 8 und Fig. 2 verdeutlicht, dass bei der Endstellung der eingeklappten Beinelemente 3, 4 (Fig. 2) gegenüber der Endstellung mit ausgeklappten Beinelementen 3, 4 (Fig. 8) die Kupplungshülse 13 axial verschoben und winkelverstellt kuppelt. Die Kupplung bei der Endstellung mit ausgeklappten Beinelementen 3, 4 (Fig. 8) liefert über einen Klemmkonus der Kupplungselemente 16, 19 einen zentrierten und belastbaren stabilen Stand der arretierten Beinelemente 3,4. Fig. 7 and Fig. 8 show the folding table 1 with unfolded leg elements 3, 4, which are locked by a spring-loaded coupling between the coupling sleeve 13 and coupling bushing 12. The coupling elements 16, 19 of the coupling sleeve 13 and coupling bush 12 are now in engagement and lock the leg members 3, 4. A comparison of Fig. 8 and Fig. 2 illustrates that in the end position of the folded leg members 3, 4 ( Fig. 2 ) with respect to the end position with unfolded leg elements 3, 4 ( Fig. 8 ) the coupling sleeve 13 axially displaced and adjusted in angle. The coupling in the end position with unfolded leg elements 3, 4 ( Fig. 8 ) provides via a clamping cone of the coupling elements 16, 19 a centered and resilient stable state of the locked leg members 3.4.

Die Kupplungshülse 13 kann einen Fortsatz 22 aufweisen, der mit einem Anschlag 23 an dem Beschlag 5, 6 zusammenwirken kann, um ein Überschlagen der Beinelemente 3, 4 zu vermeiden. Ferner kann zwischen benachbarten Beschlägen 5, 6 für eine Querverstrebung 8 ein Stabilisierungssteg 24 vorgesehen sein, um die Synchronizität beider Beschläge 5, 6 zu verbessern, wenn jeweils nur eine Feder 14 für jeweils zwei Beschläge 5, 6 verwendet wird.The coupling sleeve 13 may have an extension 22 which can cooperate with a stop 23 on the fitting 5, 6 in order to avoid a rollover of the leg members 3, 4. Furthermore, a stabilizing web 24 may be provided between adjacent fittings 5, 6 for a cross-brace 8 in order to improve the synchronicity of both fittings 5, 6, if only one spring 14 is used for each two fittings 5, 6.

Die vorstehenden Ausführungen gelten für alle Beschläge 5, 6 eines Klapptisches 1 entsprechend.The above statements apply to all fittings 5, 6 of a folding table 1 accordingly.
