Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Tischsystem oder Arbeitsplatzsystem aus wenigstens zwei Tischen bzw. Arbeitsplätzen.The invention relates to a table system or workstation system comprising at least two tables or workstations.

In der Druckschrift US 6 497 184 B1 ist ein Arbeitsplatzsystem gezeigt, bei der Arbeitsplatzebenen an jeweils einem festen und einem mit einer Rolle versehenen Standbein gelagert sind, so dass sich die jeweilige Arbeitsplatzebene um das feste Standbein drehen lässt. Ein weiteres, gattungsgemäßes Arbeitsplatzsystem ist aus der US 2011/0017688 A1 bekannt.In the publication US Pat. No. 6,497,184 B1 a workstation system is shown in which workstation levels are respectively supported on a fixed and a roller leg provided with a roller, so that the respective workplace level can be rotated about the fixed pillar. Another, generic workplace system is from the US 2011/0017688 A1 known.

Bei den im Stand der Technik bekannten Tischen und Büroarbeitsplätzen ist der Benutzer in der Regel auf einen Arbeitsplatz mit einem Tisch beschränkt, was zu einer überwiegend sitzenden Tätigkeit führt. Bekannte Tische und Arbeitsplatzsysteme sind derzeit als einzelne voneinander unabhängige Funktionseinheiten gestaltet, die der Nutzer in seiner gewünschten Anordnung anordnen kann. Konventionelle Büros sind daher so organisiert, dass möglichst alle Arbeitsmittel wie Telefon, Tastatur, Maus, Bildschirm und Arbeitsmittel in Griffweite liegen. Solche Arbeitsplatzsysteme weisen häufig auch einen Rollcontainer auf, in dem zusätzliche Arbeitsmittel in Griffweite für den Benutzer erreichbar sind. Es gibt sogar Refa Studien, welche die Zeiten bis auf Zehntelsekunden erfassen, wie ein zeitsparendes Handling von Arbeitsmitteln und Peripheriegeräten einschließlich Druckern und Entnahme von Druckerzeugnissen realisiert werden kann.In the known in the art tables and office workplaces, the user is usually limited to a workplace with a table, which leads to a predominantly sedentary activity. Known tables and workstation systems are currently designed as a single, independent functional units that the user in his desired arrangement can arrange. Conventional offices are therefore organized in such a way that all means of work such as telephone, keyboard, mouse, monitor and work equipment are within reach. Such workstation systems often also have a roll container, in which additional work equipment within reach of the user can be reached. There are even refa studies that record times down to tenths of a second, how to realize a time-saving handling of work equipment and peripherals including printers and removal of printed matter.

Der diesem Konzept zugrunde liegende Gedanke, dass jede Zehntelsekunde an Zeitersparnis beim schnellen Zugriff auf Unterlagen und Arbeitsmitteln, die Leistungsfähigkeit und Effizienz erhöht, ist richtig für Maschinen, nicht aber für den Menschen, die an solchen Arbeitsplätzen arbeiten sollen.The idea underlying this concept, that every tenth of a second of time saved in quick access to documents and work equipment, increases efficiency and efficiency, is right for machines, but not for the people who are supposed to work at such workstations.

Beim Menschen entscheiden physiologische und körperliche Faktoren und Eigenschaften über seine Leistungsfähigkeit und Effizienz.In humans, physiological and physical factors and characteristics determine its performance and efficiency.

Die Zunahme der gesundheitlichen Schäden, die auf die nicht "menschenspezifische Belange" in konventionellen Büros zurückgehen, zeigt sich in den zunehmenden Krankheitsbildern der Menschen, die Büroarbeit verrichten. Immer mehr Menschen leiden an sogenannten Zivilisationskrankheiten, die durch ständiges und stundenlanges starres Sitzen im Büro hervorgerufen werden.The increase in health damage attributable to non-"human concerns" in conventional offices is reflected in the growing ills of people doing office work. More and more people are suffering from so-called civilization diseases, which are caused by constant and hours of rigid sitting in the office.

Im Bereich von Bürostühlen wurden bereits sogenannte aktivdynamische Sitzgelegenheiten entwickelt, um dem Stuhlnutzer ein aktives und "bewegtes" Sitzen zu ermöglichen. Aus der DE 44 00 395 A1 ist zum Beispiel ein Sitzmöbel bzw. ein Pendelstuhl bekannt, bei dem eine allseitige Neigbarkeit der Sitzfläche durch ein geführtes Gelenk und eine elastische Rückstellvorrichtung realisiert ist. Ein weiteres bewegliches Sitzmöbel der genannten Gattung als ein Pendelhocker ist aus der europäischen Patentschrift EP 0 808 116 B1 bekannt, welcher eine Rückstellvorrichtung an einem Fußteil aufweist. Diese Rückstellvorrichtung ist aus Schwingmetall ausgebildet und besteht aus einem rohrförmigen Oberteil, einem Unterteil und einem zwischen Oberteil und Unterteil angeordneten elastischen Material.In the field of office chairs, so-called active-dynamic seats have already been developed to allow the chair user active and "moving" sitting. From the DE 44 00 395 A1 For example, a chair or a pendulum chair is known, in which an all-round inclinability of the seat is realized by a guided joint and an elastic return device. Another movable seating furniture of the type mentioned as a pendulum stool is from the European patent EP 0 808 116 B1 known, which a return device to a footboard having. This restoring device is formed of an oscillating metal and consists of a tubular upper part, a lower part and an elastic material arranged between upper part and lower part.

Allerdings besteht dabei immer noch die Möglichkeit, dass der Nutzer oder zum Beispiel der Büroangestellte sich selten von seinem Stuhl weg bewegt und insofern dennoch eine überwiegend sitzende Tätigkeit hervorruft.However, there is still the possibility that the user or, for example, the office worker rarely moves away from his chair and thus still causes a predominantly sedentary activity.

In den vergangenen Jahrzehnten wurden Büroarbeitsplätze nach technischen und wirtschaftlichen Gesichtspunkten eingerichtet, manchmal auch nach ästhetischen. Überlegungen, die Arbeitsumgebung des Menschen nach den Bedürfnissen seiner genetischen Prägung und seiner physiologischen Besonderheiten zu gestalten, sind neu und bisher unbekannt.In recent decades, office workplaces have been set up in technical and economic terms, sometimes aesthetically. Considerations to shape the working environment of humans according to the needs of its genetic character and its physiological peculiarities are new and hitherto unknown.

Ein Nachteil im Stand der Technik ist der Umstand, dass es keine für den Benutzer geeigneten Möbelsysteme gibt, welche technisch geeignet beschaffen sind, so dass sich damit eine zwar veränderbare, nicht aber beliebig verschiebbare Anordnung realisieren lässt.A disadvantage in the prior art is the fact that there are no suitable furniture systems for the user, which are technically suitable, so that it is possible to realize a variable but not arbitrarily displaceable arrangement.

Nicht jede Art von Bewegung ist prinzipiell gut für den Menschen und Bewegung ist nicht gleich Bewegung. Es kommt vielmehr auf die Qualität der Bewegung an, was neueste wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse belegen. "Komplexe, spontane Bewegungen" sind äußerst positiv für den menschlichen Organismus, während überwiegend "lineare, erzwungene Bewegungen" eher abträglich für den Menschen sind, da diese oft nach einem vorgegebenen Schema oder Muster durchgeführt werden und demnach nicht intuitiv erfolgen.Not every type of movement is in principle good for humans and movement is not the same as movement. Rather, it depends on the quality of the movement, which evidence the latest scientific findings. "Complex, spontaneous movements" are extremely positive for the human organism, while predominantly "linear, forced movements" are more detrimental to humans, as they are often performed according to a predetermined scheme or pattern and thus are not intuitive.

Es ist demnach Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ein Tischsystem und Arbeitsplatzsystem bereitzustellen, welches solche technische Eigenschaften aufweist, dass eine spezifische Anordnung möglich ist, um einen definierten Arbeitsraum für einen Tischnutzer zu schaffen.It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a table system and workstation system, which has such technical characteristics that a specific arrangement is possible to create a defined work space for a table user.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmalskombination gemäß Patentanspruch 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by the feature combination according to claim 1.

Grundgedanke der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, Arbeitsplatzmöbel, wie zum Beispiel Bürotische mittels einer beweglichen Verbindungsanordnung in einem zwar veränderbaren, aber dennoch in einem definierten Abstandsbereich und einem definierten Winkelbereich zueinander anzuordnen. Erfindungsgemäß ist daher ein Arbeitsplatzsystem aus wenigstens zwei Arbeitsplatzmöbel vorgesehen, welche vorzugsweise eine Arbeitsfläche (z. B. eine Tischfläche) bereitstellen, wobei die Arbeitsplatzmöbel mittels eines drehbeweglichen Verbindungsmittels miteinander verbunden sind.The basic idea of the present invention is to arrange workstation furniture, such as office tables, in a changeable but nevertheless in a defined distance range and a defined angular range by means of a movable connection arrangement. According to the invention, therefore, a workstation system is provided comprising at least two workstation furniture which preferably provide a work surface (eg a table surface), wherein the workstation furniture is connected to each other by means of a rotatable connection means.

Auf diese Weise kann sichergestellt werden, dass die Tische nur in bestimmten Abstands- und Winkelverhältnissen zueinander angeordnet werden können, wobei sich vorzugsweise der relative Abstand der Arbeitsplatzmöbel in Abhängigkeit des Orientierungswinkels bestimmungsgemäß ändert.In this way it can be ensured that the tables can be arranged only in certain distance and angular relationships to each other, wherein preferably the relative distance of the work furniture in accordance with the orientation angle changes as intended.

In einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die Arbeitsplatzmöbel Tische, insbesondere Bürotische darstellen. Bei Bürotischen kann durch eine solche Ausgestaltung eine besonders geeignete Anordnung der Tische erzielt werden, die z. B. zwischen einer Anordnung fluchtend nebeneinander und einer Anordnung unter einem Winkel von z. B. 90° zueinander stufenlose gewählt werden kann.In a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the workplace furniture tables, especially office tables represent. In office tables can be achieved by such an embodiment, a particularly suitable arrangement of the tables, z. B. between an array side by side and an arrangement at an angle of z. B. 90 ° to each other stepless can be selected.

Mit Vorteil ist dabei vorgesehen, dass die Tische je ein Tischgestell und weiter vorteilhaft ein Standbein aufweisen, an denen das drehbewegliche Verbindungsmittel angeordnet oder ausgebildet ist. Besonders geeignet ist ein Tischbein, das sich in etwa in der Tischmittenachse benachbart zu einer Tischseitenkante nach Unten erstreckt und an dessen Ende ein Standfuß angeordnet ist. Der Standfuß an dem mit Vorteil das erfindungsgemäße Verbindungsmittel angeordnet bzw. ausgebildet ist, ist dabei in V-Form ausgeführt und so beschaffen, dass je ein Arm des V-förmigen Standfußes gleichzeitig jeweils ein Teil des Verbindungsmittels darstellt.Advantageously, it is provided that the tables each have a table frame and further advantageously a pillar on which the rotatable connecting means is arranged or formed. Particularly suitable is a table leg which extends approximately in the middle of the table adjacent to a table side edge down and at the end of a stand is arranged. The base on which advantageously the connecting means according to the invention is arranged or formed, is designed in V-shape and arranged so that each one arm of the V-shaped stand at the same time each represents a part of the connecting means.

In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass das drehbewegliche Verbindungsmittels aus wenigstens einem ersten Verbindungsarm des ersten Tisches, einem zweiten Verbindungsarm des zweiten Tisches und einem zwischen den beiden Verbindungsarmen angeordneten Drehgelenk besteht.In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention it is provided that the rotatable connecting means consists of at least a first connecting arm of the first table, a second connecting arm of the second table and a pivot joint arranged between the two connecting arms.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist eine Ausgestaltung eines Arbeitsplatzsystems, bei der das drehbewegliche Verbindungsmittel am Boden oder knapp oberhalb des Bodens (bodennah) entlang verläuft. Auf diese Weise kann trotz des Verbindungsmittels ein Durchgangsraum zwischen den Tischen als Zugang zu dahinter befindlichen Bereichen geschaffen werden. Insofern ist eine flache bodennahe Ausgestaltung der Verbindungsarme weiter worteilhaft, um eine flachbauende Verbindung zu realisieren.Particularly advantageous is an embodiment of a workstation system in which the rotatable connecting means on the ground or just above the bottom (near the ground) along. In this way, despite the connecting means, a passage space between the tables can be provided as access to areas located behind. In this respect, a flat ground-level configuration of the connecting arms is further worteilhaft to realize a flat construction connection.

Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, dass jedes Arbeitsplatzmöbel über einen V-förmig ausgebildeten Fuß aus je zwei unter einem Winkel zueinander orientierten Fußabschnitten verfügt, wobei die Füße benachbart zum unteren Ende je eines Standbeines (bodennah oder auf der Bodenfläche stützend) angeordnet sind.According to the invention, each workstation has a V-shaped foot made up of two foot sections oriented at an angle to one another, the feet being arranged adjacent to the lower end of each support leg (supportive of the ground or on the floor surface).

Erfindungsgemäß bildet jeweils ein Fußabschnitt der V-förmigen Fußabschnitte jeden Fußes einen Verbindungsarm des Verbindungsmittels aus. Damit erfüllen die Fußabschnitte zweierlei Funktion. Sie dienen erstens als Fußstütze zum Stabilisieren des festen Standes des Tisches und andererseits als Teil des Verbindungsmittels zwischen den Tischen.According to the invention, in each case one foot section of the V-shaped foot sections of each foot forms a connecting arm of the connecting means. Thus, the foot sections fulfill two functions. They serve firstly as a footrest for stabilizing the firmness of the table and on the other hand as part of the connecting means between the tables.

Weiter vorteilhaft ist es, wenn das Verbindungsgelenk zum Zweck der Montage als lösbares Gelenk ausgebildet ist, so dass die Aufstellung der Tische einfacher und bequemer von statten geht.It is also advantageous if the connecting joint for the purpose of assembly is designed as a releasable joint, so that the installation of the tables is easier and more comfortable.

In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass wenigstens ein Tisch ein höhenverstellbares Tischgestell aufweist, um die Tischarbeitsplatte dieses Tisches in der Höhe verstellen zu können. Auf diese Weise lässt sich eine Erweiterung des Arbeitsraumes nicht nur im Abstand und relativen Drehwinkel der Tische, sondern auch in der Höhe zueinander schaffen.In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention it is provided that at least one table has a height-adjustable table frame in order to adjust the table top of this table in height can. In this way, an extension of the working space can be created not only in the distance and relative angle of rotation of the tables, but also in height to each other.

Die Verbindungsarme der Arbeitsplatzmöbel können mit Vorteil unter einem veränderbaren Winkel β zueinander angeordnet werden und zwar so, dass sich dabei der Abstand der Tische gemessen am Ende der Verbindungsarme zueinander derart verändert, dass mit veränderlichem Winkel β in einem Winkelbereich von 90° bis 180° der Abstand bis zu einem Maximalwert vergrößert wird. Hierzu ist allerdings der Verbindungsarm gegenüber dem Tisch an dem er befestigt ist, fest montiert, so dass durch Verändern des Winkels β, d. h. durch relatives Verdrehen des einen Tisches zu dem anderen, der Abstand der Tische zueinander verändert wird.The connecting arms of the workplace furniture can be arranged with advantage at a variable angle β to each other in such a way that thereby the distance of the tables measured at the end of the connecting arms to each other changed so that with a variable angle β in an angular range of 90 ° to 180 ° of Distance is increased up to a maximum value. For this purpose, however, the connecting arm relative to the table to which it is attached, fixedly mounted, so that by changing the angle β, d. H. by relative rotation of one table to the other, the distance between the tables is changed to each other.

Weiter vorteilhaft ist es, wenn jeweils diejenigen benachbarten Tischseitenkanten, welche senkrecht nach oben betrachtet oberhalb des Verbindungselements angeordnet sind, in einem vorderen in Richtung zur Tischvorderkante befindlichen Bereich so verlaufen, dass der Abstand zwischen den seitlichen Tischkanten bei zumindest einem Winkel β = 90° in Richtung zur vorderen Tischkante zumindest abschnittsweise größer wird.It is further advantageous if in each case those adjacent table side edges, which are arranged vertically above the connecting element, extend in a front region located in the direction of the table leading edge such that the distance between the lateral table edges is at least an angle β = 90 ° in FIG Towards the front edge of the table is at least partially larger.

Anders ausgedrückt bedeutet dies, dass der rechte vorderer Bereich des einen Tisches und der linke vordere Bereich des anderen damit verbundenen Tisches jeweils eine schräg eingekürzte Tischplatte aufweisen.In other words, this means that the right front area of one table and the left front area of the other associated table each have an obliquely shortened table top.

Andere vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen gekennzeichnet bzw. werden nachstehend zusammen mit der Beschreibung der bevorzugten Ausführung der Erfindung anhand der Figuren näher dargestellt.Other advantageous developments of the invention are characterized in the subclaims or are shown in more detail below together with the description of the preferred embodiment of the invention with reference to FIGS.

Im Folgenden wird die Erfindung mit Bezug auf die Figuren 1 bis 7 näher erläutert, wobei gleiche Bezugszeichen in den Figuren auf gleiche strukturelle und/oder funktionale Merkmale hinweisen.In the following, the invention will be described with reference to FIGS FIGS. 1 to 7 explained in more detail, wherein like reference numerals in the figures indicate the same structural and / or functional features.

In der Fig. 1 ist eine Ansicht von Oben eines Ausführungsbeispiels eines erfindungsgemäßen Arbeitsplatzsystems und zwar ein Tischsystem 1 aus zwei Tischen 10, 20 dargestellt. Die Tische 10, 20 weisen jeweils eine Tischplatte (10a, 20a) mit je einer Arbeitsfläche 11, 21 auf.In the Fig. 1 is a top view of an embodiment of a workstation system according to the invention, namely a table system 1 of two tables 10, 20 shown. The tables 10, 20 each have a table top (10a, 20a), each with a work surface 11, 21.

Die beiden Tische 10, 20 sind mittels eines drehbeweglichen Verbindungsmittels 30 miteinander über das Drehgelenk 31 drehbeweglich verbunden. Der Tisch 20 kann demnach relativ zu dem Tisch 10 um einen Winkel β gedreht werden. In der Ansicht der Fig. 1 ist der Winkel β = 90°. Bei einer solchen Montageposition der beiden Tische zueinander, sind die Tische nebeneinander in Reihe angeordnet und verlaufen die vorderen Tischkanten 18a, 28a und hinteren Tischkanten 18c, 28c parallel. Ebenfalls parallel verlaufen die beiden jeweils voneinander abgewandten Tischseitenkanten 18d, 28d, während die unmittelbar benachbarten Tischkanten 18b, 28b voneinander weg verlaufen.The two tables 10, 20 are by means of a rotatable connecting means 30 rotatably connected to each other via the rotary joint 31. The table 20 can therefore be rotated relative to the table 10 by an angle β. In the view of Fig. 1 the angle is β = 90 °. In such a mounting position of the two tables to each other, the tables are arranged side by side in series and extend the front table edges 18a, 28a and rear table edges 18c, 28c in parallel. The two table side edges 18d, 28d facing away from each other are also parallel, while the immediately adjacent table edges 18b, 28b extend away from one another.

Wie ferner z. B. aus den Fig. 2 und 3 ersichtlich ist, weisen die Tische 10, 20 je ein Tischgestell 12, 22 sowie je ein Standbein 15a, 25a auf, an denen das drehbewegliche Verbindungsmittels 30 angeordnet bzw. ausgebildet ist. Ferner ist auf der jeweils gegenüberliegenden (äußeren) Tischseite der Tische 10, 20 je ein weiteres herkömmliches Standbein 15b, 25b.As further z. B. from the FIGS. 2 and 3 it can be seen, the tables 10, 20 each have a table frame 12, 22 and a respective supporting leg 15a, 25a on which the rotatable connecting means 30 is arranged or formed. Further, on the respective opposite (outer) table side of the tables 10, 20 depending on a further conventional pillar 15b, 25b.

In der Ansicht von Unten gemäß Fig. 3 ist gut zu erkennen, dass am unteren Ende der Tischbeine 15a, 15b bzw. 25a, 25b jeweils ein Fuß (14, 24) bestehend aus jeweils zwei Fußabschnitten 14a, 24a ausgebildet ist.In the view from below according to Fig. 3 It can be seen clearly that at the lower end of the table legs 15a, 15b and 25a, 25b, respectively one foot (14, 24) is formed, each consisting of two foot sections 14a, 24a.

Das drehbewegliche Verbindungsmittels 30 besteht dabei aus einem ersten Fußabschnitt 14a des einen V-förmigen Fußes 14 des ersten Tisches 10, sowie einem zweiten Fußabschnitt 24a des Fußes 24 des V-förmigen Fußes des zweiten Tisches 20, wobei die beiden Fußabschnitten 14a, 24a über ein Drehgelenk 31 miteinander verbunden sind.The rotatable connection means 30 consists of a first foot portion 14a of a V-shaped foot 14 of the first table 10, and a second leg portion 24a of the foot 24 of the V-shaped foot of the second table 20, wherein the two foot portions 14a, 24a via a Swivel joint 31 are interconnected.

Somit stellen die beiden Fußabschnitte 14a, 24a in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel gleichzeitig die Verbindungsarme 13, 23 zwischen den beiden Tischen dar. In einer weniger vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung könnten die Verbindungsarme auch weiter oberhalb und getrennt von den Tischbeinen angeordnet sein.Thus, the two foot sections 14a, 24a in this embodiment simultaneously represent the connecting arms 13, 23 between the two tables. In a less advantageous embodiment, the connecting arms could also be arranged further above and separate from the table legs.

Weiter ist in der Unteransicht der Fig. 3 die Lage der Tischbeine 15a, 15b, 25a, 25b bzw. der Stützen des Tisches, welche die vertikalen Abschnitte der Tischbeine bilden dargestellt.Next is in the bottom view of Fig. 3 the position of the table legs 15a, 15b, 25a, 25b and the supports of the table, which form the vertical sections of the table legs shown.

In den Figuren 4 und 5 ist je eine Darstellung des Tischsystems 1 des Ausführungsbeispiels nach Fig. 1 in unterschiedlichen Montagestellungen (einmal in der Aufsicht und einmal in der Unteransicht (mit eingezeichneten gestrichelten Hilfslinien) gezeigt.In the FIGS. 4 and 5 is ever a representation of the table system 1 of the embodiment according to Fig. 1 in different mounting positions (once in the top view and once in the bottom view (shown with dashed auxiliary lines) shown.

Die jeweils obere Darstellung zeigt eine Montageposition, bei der der Winkel β zwischen den an dem Verbindungselement 30 beteiligten Fußabschnitten 14a, 24a in etwa 90° beträgt und die Tische demnach in Serie nebeneinander angeordnet sind. Die relative Position der Tische zueinander beträgt demnach 0° bzw. 180° (infolge der spiegelbildlichen Ausrichtung der Tische). Wie anhand der Hilfslinien in Fig. 5 gut zu erkennen ist, ist der Abstand A zwischen den Tischbeinen 15a, 25a beim Winkel β von 90° minimal, während der Abstand A bei maximalen Winkel von β = 180°, wie in der jeweils unteren Ansicht der Fig. 4 und 5 zu sehen, maximal ist.The respective upper illustration shows a mounting position in which the angle β between the foot sections 14a, 24a involved in the connecting element 30 is approximately 90 ° and the tables are therefore arranged next to one another in series. The relative position of the tables relative to one another is therefore 0 ° or 180 ° (due to the mirror-image orientation of the tables). Like the guides in Fig. 5 is clearly visible, the distance A between the table legs 15a, 25a at the angle β of 90 ° is minimal, while the distance A at maximum angle of β = 180 °, as in the respective lower view of Fig. 4 and 5 to see is maximum.

Die jeweils mittlere Ansicht zeigt einen Zwischenzustand bei einem Winkel β von ca. 130° und einem gegenüber der unteren Ansicht A geringeren Abstand A zwischen den Tischbeinen 15a, 25a.The respective middle view shows an intermediate state at an angle β of about 130 ° and a relation to the lower view A smaller distance A between the table legs 15a, 25a.

Die in der Fig. 4 in der oberen Ansicht unmittelbar benachbarten seitlichen Tischkanten 18b, 28b (Seitenkanten), welche senkrecht nach oben betrachtet oberhalb des Verbindungselements 30 angeordnet sind, verlaufen in einem vorderen zur jeweiligen Tischvorderkante 18a, 28a befindlichen Bereich so, dass der Abstand B1 zwischen den seitlichen Tischkanten 18b, 28b bei einem Winkel β = 90° in Richtung zur vorderen Tischkante 18a, 28a zumindest abschnittsweise größer wird. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass bei einer Anordnung der Tische 10, 20 in eine wie in Fig. 4 gezeigte untere Ansicht bei dem der Winkel β = 180° ist, nicht nur eine Kollision zwischen den betroffenen Tischecken verhindert wird, sondern ein verbleibender Abstand gewährleistet wird.The in the Fig. 4 in the upper view of immediately adjacent side table edges 18b, 28b (side edges), which are arranged vertically above viewed above the connecting element 30, extend in a front to the respective table leading edge 18a, 28a area such that the distance B1 between the side table edges 18b , 28b at an angle β = 90 ° in the direction of the front table edge 18a, 28a is at least partially larger. This has the advantage that in an arrangement of the tables 10, 20 in a as in Fig. 4 shown bottom view in which the angle β = 180 °, not just a collision between the affected Table corners is prevented, but a remaining distance is guaranteed.

In der Fig. 6 ist eine Schnittansicht entlang der Schnittlinie A - A aus Fig. 1 und in der Fig. 7 ein Detail des Drehgelenks des Tischsystems aus Fig. 6 dargestellt. Wie in Fig. 6 zu erkennen ist, sind die Tische 10, 20 höhenverstellbar. Das Gelenk 31 ist aus zwei flachen Gelenkplatten 31a, 31b, die von den Fußteilen 14a, 24a endseitig gebildet werden, ausgebildet. Das Ende des einen Fußteils 14a des ersten Tisches 10 ist halbkreisförmig ausgebildet und greift in eine korrespondierende teilkreisförmige Ausnehmung an dem Ende des anderen Fußteils 24a des zweiten Tisches 20 ein. Entlang der Unterseite der Fußteile 14a, 24a verläuft eine U-förmiges Profil 35, auf dem ein flaches Profil aufgebracht ist.In the Fig. 6 is a sectional view along the section line A - A from Fig. 1 and in the Fig. 7 a detail of the swivel joint of the table system Fig. 6 shown. As in Fig. 6 can be seen, the tables 10, 20 are height adjustable. The hinge 31 is formed of two flat hinge plates 31a, 31b which are formed end-to-end by the foot parts 14a, 24a. The end of the one foot part 14a of the first table 10 is semicircular and engages in a corresponding part-circular recess at the end of the other foot part 24a of the second table 20 a. Along the underside of the foot parts 14a, 24a extends a U-shaped profile 35 on which a flat profile is applied.

Wie in Figur 4 (untere Abbildung) gezeigt ist, kragt ein am ersten Fußteile 14a stirnseitiger Gelenksteg 33 mit einer darin ausgebildeten Öffnung 36 über das Flachteil 34 des anderen Fußteils 24a hinaus und ist mit diesem über ein Gelenk drehbeweglich um die Achse 37 verbunden.As in FIG. 4 (lower figure), a hinge web 33, which is provided on the first foot part 14a, protrudes beyond the flat part 34 of the other leg part 24a and has an opening 36 formed therein, and is connected to the latter pivotally about the axis 37 via a hinge.

Die Erfindung beschränkt sich in ihrer Ausführung nicht auf die vorstehend angegebenen bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiele, sondern wird durch den Schutzumfang der Ansprüche festgelegt. Dabei ist eine Anzahl von Varianten denkbar, welche von der dargestellten Lösung auch bei grundsätzlich anders gearteten Ausführungen Gebrauch macht, ohne dabei vom Schutzumfang der Ansprüche abzuweichen.The invention is not limited in its execution to the above-mentioned preferred embodiments, but is determined by the scope of the claims. In this case, a number of variants is conceivable, which makes use of the illustrated solution even with fundamentally different types, without departing from the scope of the claims.
