Description

The invention relates to a table and in particular table tops and a lectern and in particular a high desk top, for holding smartphones and tablet computers.

Field of the invention:

Desks, in particular standing desks, are often used for presentations held in front of a larger auditorium. The standing desks usually have a slope that is directed to the user. However, by using computers in presentations, this alignment is not beneficial. Ergonomic use of the computer is not possible in this case. Also, tablet computers or smart phones are often used for presentation that can not be optimally positioned or slipped on an inclined surface. A tablet computer (English tablet, 'tablet', 'tablet' or tablet) or tablet PC is a portable, flat computer in a particularly lightweight design with a touchscreen display, unlike the notebook usually without fold-out keyboard , Due to the lightweight design and the touch-sensitive screen tablet PCs are characterized by easy handling. The devices are similar in scope, operation and form of modern smartphones. A smartphone is a mobile phone that provides more computer functionality and connectivity than a conventional advanced mobile phone. First smartphones combined the functions of a PDA or tablet computer with the functionality of a mobile phone. Later, the compact device was also added the function of a portable media player, a digital and video camera and a GPS navigation device. Many modern smartphones are equipped with a high-resolution touch-sensitive screen. This can represent both standard websites as well as mobile optimized websites. A fast internet connection takes place via mobile broadband and WLAN. For modern smartphones today a variety of free and proprietary operating systems (OS) are available. It is thus possible for a smartphone to follow the technical development over its service life via software and OS updates.

Overview of the invention:

The object of the invention is to provide a more ergonomic table, in particular to provide a standing desk that takes into account that computer or smartphone or tablet can be used on this standing desk.

This object is achieved by a table formed in this embodiment as a standing desk according to the independent claims. Further embodiments can be found in the dependent claims.

The table in the present embodiment as a standing desk comprises a desk top and in one possible embodiment a stand. The stand is hinged to the desk top by a hinge. In the known standing desks, the inclination of the desk top to the body of a user is changeable, so that an inclination from the body upwards, ie to the body, arises through the desk top. Thus, it is possible for a user to look at an inclined surface presenting him the documents in a pleasant perspective, so that only a slight movement of the head is necessary in order to view the documents on the one hand and on the other hand to consider the audience with an eye contact ,

In one embodiment of the invention, at least one insertion groove is formed in a form in the desk top of the lectern, so that a smartphone or tablet computer with one of its edges can be inserted into it in order to stand upright independently without further assistance in relation to the desk top. By "standing upright" is not necessarily to understand a 90 ° angle. Rather, a smaller angle is possible. Thus, a direct view of the device is possible without this occupies a large area.

Additionally or alternatively, a recess may be formed as an insert tray in the desk top, in which a smartphone or tablet computer can be inserted to complete as flush as possible with the surface of the desk top. This will prevent the unit from slipping and allow other objects, such as paper, to be placed over the unit. So that no permanent opening is provided, an insert plate is provided, which is insertable into the recess to form a smooth surface of the desk top. As a result, the insert tray is closed flush.

The insertion groove is preferably formed at an angle of less than 90 °, preferably 30-80 °, preferably 60 °. Here, the insertion has a depth of 6-55mm, preferably 8-14mm and / or a width of 6-30mm, preferably 8-12, preferably 9.9 mm.

In another embodiment, the insertion groove is 10-700 mm long, preferably 525 mm.

In the bottom area of the insertion groove, an adapter for the smartphone or the tablet Computer be trained to charge this or connectivity with other devices.

The adapter is a plug-in connection for the smartphone or the tablet computer.

In a preferred embodiment, a plurality of different connectors are formed in the groove to connect different smartphones or the tablet computer. Also, these connectors can be partially pulled out to make the connection, and then disappear again in the groove. The connectors are used for connection to the power network or to beamer or other display devices. Further connections are conceivable.

The connectors are suitable for USB interfaces or Apple device interfaces. Other plug connections are conceivable. The connections can be connected to a battery or a power supply to provide the power.

The insert tray preferably has a depth of 5-25mm, preferably 11-7mm, preferably 9.4mm.

The width of the loading tray is preferably 60-350 mm, preferably 300-200 mm, preferably 241.5 mm and / or wherein the height is preferably 60-300mm, preferably 120-200mm, preferably 186mm

The insert tray, in one possible embodiment, has a hole through the plate to provide connectivity to the smartphone or tablet computer. Alternatively, of course, also plugs as described above may be formed on the lower edge of the insert tray to thereby make a connection.

With the proliferation of computer-based presentation programs, the laptop / smartphone / tablet computer has always been a necessary tool for making a presentation. The angle of inclination for the use of a laptop, however, is exactly opposite to the normal use of a lectern. The easiest way to use the laptop is when the surface is tilted backwards (from the user's point of view) so that the hands rest flat on the computer and the arm rests on a part of the desk.

Thus, an essential part of the present invention is that the desk top can be oriented so that it can also be tilted away from the body.

If this alignment is achieved by a joint that allows both forward and rearward inclination, it is necessary to have a slide-off restriction for items placed on the desk top formed at both ends of the desk top.

In a preferred embodiment, two ends of the desk top are provided with a skid limit. Thus, it is possible to tilt the table over the vertex without losing the items on the desk top.

The slip restriction may be a bar (not shown) disposed on one or more edges of the desk top. This is flush with the edge.

In an alternative embodiment, the slip restriction extends out of the desk top and is additionally retractable so that a smooth plane is provided with the desk top when the slide-out restriction is recessed.

Here, the Abrutschbegrenzung is preferably in the form of bolts, which are brought by a rotational movement of the sinker and / or sunk by the rotational movement. The bolts are driven by a resilient element.

Here, a hole is present in the desk top, in which the bolts are guided. In the bore extends at least partially radially a groove into which a projection of the bolt is guided radially. The bore is formed in a region such that a groove extends axially adjacent to the radial groove, in which the bolt is axially movable up and down. The radial groove is not continuous at least upwards, so that there is a limitation of the movement space. Thus, the bolt can be guided over the axial groove down, rotated by the radial groove and fixed in the lower position. The grooves may also be formed in a sleeve which is embedded in a bore of the high desk. Here it can be attached by an adhesive connection.

In one possible embodiment, the hinge is a rotary joint that allows the desk top to rotate horizontally.

Also, the joint may be formed as rollers that allow the desk top to rotate horizontally.

In another embodiment, the joint may be moved at least 30 degrees forward and 30 degrees backward.

By this kind of arrangement, it is possible for a laptop computer to be held at an angle away from the body on the desk top. That from the vertex, which is reached when the desk top is horizontal, the shelf can be moved backwards.
