Abstract

Combination table has a connecting device which consists of a standing simple notch, which possesses two webs (3,4) which fit in recesses (6,7) with precisely fitting edge areas. At the lower surface of the edge areas is a mechanical locking device (5).

Description

The The invention relates to a combinable table with a variable floor plan, consisting of at least two table elements under education a common tabletop with each other or with an extension plate at their abutting Edge regions by means of a mechanical connection device connected to each other.

For example in offices or in conference halls there is a need several tables in variable To connect arrangement firmly together. To achieve this, will be additional Connecting means provided, which usually the tabletops with each other connect. It is unfavorable that at the joints two table legs coincide, what the legroom of these Tables seated people cramped.

From the DE 39 02 926 is a table system known, with the mutual displacement of juxtaposed table elements should be avoided. For this purpose, connection blocks or the like are used, which protrude laterally beyond the edge regions and engage positively in the assembled state. At the same time, the table elements are designed so that there is an overlap of the table legs. In order to prevent a pulling apart of the assembled table elements, the connecting blocks in the supernatant region are wedge-shaped and assigned to them a wedge-shaped undercut in the adjacent table base.

Also This table system does not eliminate the cramped legroom several joined together Table elements and also lacks a greater variability of the possible Table arrangements.

Of the The invention is therefore based on the problem, a combinable To create a table with variable floor plan, which is a simple and stable connection device for the table elements with each other or with extension plates has.

This Problem is solved by the features listed in claim 1 solved.

By in the subclaims listed activities are advantageous and expedient developments of the combinable invention Table possible.

The inventive positive connection device in the manner of a simple standing fold forms in conjunction with the locking device a solid connection, the paragraph-free table top and big Arrangement variants possible.

A advantageous embodiment of the invention is in claim 2 specified; she raises the stability the connection in particular against lateral displacement.

Especially prove advantageous to ensure legroom on the front sides of the combinable table the table legs gem. to claim 3, which also for an intermediate table element to be used on very long table arrangements.

at Use of noble woods for the Table tops and extension plates can make the seam decorative be highlighted by the fold with stainless steel or surface treated brass sheet is occupied.

The Invention will be explained in more detail below by exemplary embodiments. In the associated Drawings show:

1 a plan view of the connecting device between two table elements

2 the connecting device in section

3 a representation of arrangement variants of table elements and extension plates

4 a plan view of an arrangement variant with oval extension plate

The in 1 illustrated combinable table consists of at least two table elements 1 . 2 , which are positively connected to each other by means of a folding construction. The jetty 3 of the table element 1 is slightly indented from its side edges to achieve a better drainage of moisture (eg rainwater terrace tables) from the connection device.

As in 2 is shown, each adjacent edge region of the table elements 1 . 2 Stege 3 . 4 and recesses 6 . 7 on, which are engaged with each other. The locking device 5 supplements the thus simple and solid connection by preventing unintentional lifting and loosening of the connection.

In 3 is shown with the help of extension plates 8th . 9 with continuous table top or in a perforated design (slatted frame) arrangement variants for different uses in closed rooms or outdoors can be realized.

With an embodiment gem. 4 creates a table combination that would be suitable as a banquet table. Such an embodiment, which thus has no excess length, would do without an additional support of the expansion plate. For arrangement variants such as 3 however, where is thought of long tables, inter alia, in beer gardens, would be an unspecified adapter in the width of the extension plates into consideration that on both sides with the fold according to the invention and table legs gem. Claim 4 is equipped.

Claims (4)

Combinable table with variable floor plan, consisting of at least two table elements, which are connected to form a common table top with each other or with an extension plate at their abutting edge regions by means of a mechanical connecting means, characterized in that the connecting means consists of a standing simple fold, the two bridges ( 3 . 4 ), which in recesses ( 6 . 7 ) of the respective other edge region engage precisely, wherein on the underside of the edge regions a mechanical locking device ( 5 ) is provided. Combinable table according to claim 1, characterized in that the webs ( 3 . 4 ) and the recesses ( 6 . 7 ) are zigzag or wave-shaped. Combinable table according to one of claims 1 or 2, characterized in that the table elements ( 1 . 2 ) are provided with flat legs which taper in a wedge shape to the foot and form four mutually perpendicular arms, of which the two lying in the symmetry axis of the table arms are laterally hinged. Combinable table according to one of claims 1 to 3, characterized in that the seam forming the seam between two connected table tops ( 4 ) and the associated recess ( 6 ) have a decorative metal cover.
