In this case, thus forms the table 1 with his table opening 4 even the frame 5 , In this case, in which the table opening 4 even the frame 5 forms, in a preferred embodiment, the gap between the table opening 4 as a frame 5 and the flap element 3 formed for passing lines 22 , The gap 23 is in this case also on at least one side of the table opening 4 as a frame 5 or completely circulating at the table opening 4 as a frame 5 intended.

As in the plan view of the media flap device 2 in 1 is shown is the flap element 3 with a first and second page 8th . 9 , z. B. a first and second longitudinal side, so movably on two opposite thereto corresponding first and second sides of the frame 5 which are a first and second page 10 . 11 the opening 4 correspond or correspond to hinged to the flap element 3 to each of these both first and second pages 10 . 11 the table opening 4 or of the frame 5 fold up and the opening, ie the frame opening and associated with the table opening 4 release. In the closed position are the first page 8th the flap element 3 adjacent to the first side of the frame 5 or first page 10 the table opening 4 and the second page 9 the flap element 3 adjacent to the second side of the frame 5 or the second page 11 the table opening 4 arranged as in 4 is shown. The top 12 the flap element 3 For example, it can be flush with the top of the frame 5 or the table 1 be the frame 5 thereby, as described above, a separate frame of the media flap device 2 can be or through the functional furniture 1 with his mouth 4 here table opening can be formed.

In 1 and 2 is the flap element 3 shown in the first fully open position, in which the flap element 3 to the first page 10 the table opening 4 in the full open position, z. B. vertical position, is pivoted. In this case, the flap element 3 with his second page 9 upward or outward about a first axis of rotation 20 panned to the table opening 4 from the second page 11 the table opening 4 from release. The first axis of rotation 20 runs parallel to the first page 10 the table opening 4 , In this first fully open position, the opening is 4 thus from the opposite second side 11 accessible while the opening 4 from the first page 10 by the upturned, z. B. pivoted in the vertical flap element 3 is covered. This is the gap 23 for passing one or more lines 22 , z. B. between the at least first and second side 10 . 11 the table opening or the frame 5 and the first and second page 8th . 9 the flap element 3 trained, as well as in the following 5 to 9 is shown. The first and second page 8th . 9 the flap element 3 as well as the first and second page 10 . 11 the table opening or the frame 5 are in one embodiment, as in 2 shown formed such that a direct insight into the table or frame opening is reduced when the flap element 3 in the closed position is as in 4 is shown. These are the first and second page 10 . 11 the table opening or the frame 5 for example, bevelled. The first and second page 10 . 11 thereby run downwards beveled to the recording 6 , as in 2 is shown. According to the slope of the first and second page 10 . 11 the table opening or the frame 5 are also the first and second page 8th . 9 the flap element 3 bevelled or provided with a corresponding slope, as also in 2 is shown. Thus, the flap element 3 as a cover and the frame geometry of the frame 5 designed so that the direct insight into the opening 4 with the flap element closed 3 at least it can be reduced.

In a further embodiment, the gap 23 in addition or alternatively, as in 1 is indicated on the sides of the flap element 3 between the flap element 3 and table opening or the frame and its frame opening may be provided. In 1 is the gap 23 for example, completely formed circumferentially. Thus, also along the lateral edges or transverse sides 24 . 25 the table or frame opening, a gap 23 intended for the cable or lead-through.

In 3 is the flap element 3 again shown in the second fully open position, in which the flap element 3 to the second page 11 the table opening 4 or frame 5 in the fully open position, z. B. in the vertical, is pivoted. In this case, the flap element 3 with his first page 8th upward or outward about a second axis of rotation 21 panned to the opening 4 from the first page release. The second axis of rotation 21 runs parallel to the second page 11 the opening 4 , In this second fully open position, is the opening or table opening 4 thus from the opposite first page 10 the opening accessible while the opening 4 from the second page 11 the opening from the upwardly pivoted flap element 3 is covered.

The frame 5 the media flap device 2 is for example in the in 1 shown embodiment of several profiles, z. As metal and / or plastic profiles, which are releasable, z. B. by mating, screwing and / or pinning etc., or insoluble, z. B. by gluing, soldering, welding, etc., are connected. Likewise, the frame may also be formed in one piece, for example as an injection molded part or metal casting, as in the following 5 to 9 is shown

As in 2 is shown is the flap element 3 over at least two first and second connecting elements, for. B. two first and second connecting rods 14 . 15 with the frame 5 connected to pivot the flap element 3 between the two open positions and the closed position. Both connecting rods 14 . 15 are, for example, as flat components, eg. B. plate-like components, and each have, for example, at least one plate-shaped and / or tubular portion. Due to the flat design, the connecting rods 14 . 15 , as in 1 shown is very close arranged to each other, resulting in a compact and space-saving design.

The first connecting rod 14 is there with her outer end 16 on the first page 10 the table opening 4 on the frame 5 rotatably hinged and with its inner end 17 on the second page 9 , z. B. second longitudinal side in the 1 - 4 , the flap element 3 rotatably articulated. The second connecting rod 15 is in turn with its outer end 16 on the second page 11 the table opening 4 on the frame 5 rotatably hinged and with its inner end 17 on the first page 8th the flap element 3 rotatably articulated.

The first connecting rod 14 is shaped such that the flap element 3 through the first connecting rod 14 in the first fully open position is pivotally and the first connecting rod 14 a pivoting of the flap element 3 through the second connecting rod 15 allowed into the second fully open position. The second connecting rod 15 is again shaped such that the flap element 3 through the second connecting rod 15 in the second fully open position is schenkbar and the second connecting rod 15 a pivoting of the flap element 3 through the first connecting rod 14 allowed into the first fully open position. Furthermore, the first and second connecting rods 14 . 15 shaped so that they together or together in the table opening 4 or opening the frame 5 in the 1 - 4 are einschwenkbar, if that the flap element 3 in the closed position in 4 is moved. The flap element 3 is preferably flush in the closed position or substantially flush with the frame 5 or the top or outside of the table 1 as previously stated.

As in the 2 and 4 is shown, the first connecting rod 14 two leg portions, ie an inner and an outer leg portion 18 . 19 which are connected together at one end and form, for example, a U-shape or a substantially U-shape. Instead of a U-shape like in the 2 and 4 is shown, the connecting rod 14 with her two leg sections 18 . 19 also form a V-shape or L-shape or substantially a V-shape or L-shape.

The end of the inner leg section 18 which is the inner end 17 the connecting rod forms, is rotatable or pivotable on the second side 9 the flap element 3 hinged and the end of the outer leg portion 19 which is the outer end 16 forming the connecting rod is again on the first side 10 the table opening 4 on the frame 5 pivoted or pivoted. Furthermore, the inner leg portion 18 in the in the 1 - 4 shown embodiments, for example, such that it parallel, in particular at least a portion parallel to the flap element 3 runs when this is pivoted to the first fully open position. Additionally or alternatively, the flap element 3 while on the inner leg section 18 rest in the first fully open position. The additional resting of the flap element 3 on the inner leg section 18 but is not required and can also be omitted. The outer leg section 19 like in the 2 and 4 furthermore, it may optionally be additionally bent outward. This has the advantage that, due to this geometry, the leg section 19 in the open position of the flap element 3 can be guided around the frame or frame cross-section. This requires the frame for the passage of the leg section 19 not be interrupted. By the arrangement of the pivot points in flap element 3 and frame 5 becomes the flap element 3 when lifting or opening so guided that the gap 23 is not narrower for the lead or cable bushing, whereby an unwanted crushing of the cables or cables and the like is avoided. As a result, the flap element can also be opened with lines or cables from both sides.

The second connecting rod 15 is preferably like the first connecting rod 14 trained, as in the 3 and 4 is shown. So has the second connecting rod 15 also two leg sections, ie an inner and an outer leg section 18 . 19 which are connected together at one end and form, for example, a U-shape or a substantially U-shape. Instead of a U-shape like in the 3 and 4 is shown, the second connecting rod 15 with their two leg portions also form a V-shape or L-shape or substantially a V-shape or L-shape.

The end of the inner leg section 18 which is the inner end 17 the connecting rod 15 is rotatable or pivotable on the first side 8th the flap element 3 hinged and the end of the outer leg portion 19 which is the outer end 16 the connecting rod 15 is again on the second page 11 the table opening 4 on the frame 5 pivoted or pivoted. Furthermore, the inner leg portion 18 in the in the 1 - 4 shown embodiments also z. B. shaped so that it is parallel, or at least a portion parallel to the flap element 3 runs when it is pivoted to the second fully open position. Additionally or alternatively the flap element 3 on the inner leg section 18 rest in the second fully open position, at least in one section. The outer leg section 19 like in the 3 and 4 is also shown optionally also be bent outward.

In the in 4 shown closed position covers the flap element 3 the opening in the frame 5 and thus in this case under the frame 5 lying table opening 4 from. Since the media flap device 2 a separate frame 5 in the embodiment in the 1 to 4 can, the opening of the frame, which by the flap element 3 is opened and closed, for example, equal to or slightly smaller than the table opening 4 into which the media flap device 2 with its own frame 5 is included.

Without the additional own frame 5 can the media flap device 2 also, as previously described, directly in the table opening 4 at the table 1 instead of on the additional frame as in 1 , be attached and the table opening 4 through the flap element 3 to open and close. The table 1 with his table opening 4 then forms the frame in this case 5 for the media flap device 2 so that the opening of the frame 5 at the same time the table opening 4 forms.

The inner leg sections 18 the two connecting rods 14 . 15 the media flap device 2 take in the closed position of the flap element 3 only very little space in use, since they are flat and thus have only a relatively small width. Furthermore, in particular a middle area remains below the two connecting rods 14 . 15 free in the closed position, as in 4 is indicated by a double arrow, so that, for example, a plurality of cables or lines along the longitudinal sides of the flap element 3 below the connecting rods 14 . 15 can be easily performed without being affected by them.

Such flat or narrow connecting rods 14 . 15 can, as in 1 is shown, arranged close to each other and in particular without or with the smallest possible distance next to each other. Furthermore, depending on the size of the flap element 3 For example, only a first and a second connecting rod 14 . 15 be provided, for example in the middle of the flap element 3 or at opposite ends of the flap member 3 , similar to the embodiment in 1 ,

In the in 1 shown embodiment are at the two opposite ends of the flap element 3 one pair of connecting rods each 14 . 15 arranged. Depending on the size of the flap element 3 may additionally also at least a first and / or second connecting rod 14 . 15 , for example in the middle of the flap element 3 or between the two ends of the flap element 3 be provided.

In the recording 6 below the table opening 4 and the opening of the frame, in the case of the own frame 5 the media flap device 2 , technical media, such as lines, z. As cables, for wiring one or more electronic devices, such. As computers, servers, peripherals, screens, phones, etc., are provided, and connections, such as sockets, USB ports, etc., interfaces, such as wireless interfaces, Bluetooth interfaces, power supply line, especially power lines, power cord, etc. The invention is not limited to the mentioned examples of technical media. These technical media are through the media flap device according to the invention 2 from two opposite sides of the table opening 4 easily accessible, as the flap element 3 very easy to each of the two sides around a respective axis of rotation 20 . 21 unfolded or can be folded up, which parallel to the respective side of the table opening 4 runs. This can be a table 1 with such a media flap device 2 be used by two sides, without a change of wiring is necessary etc ..

In the 5 to 9 is a further second embodiment of a functional furniture according to the invention with a media flap device 2 shown. 5 shows a plan view of a table 1 as functional furniture according to the invention with the median flap device 2 , wherein the media flap device 2 is shown in a closed position.
