Table-shaped piece of furniture adjustable in height and / or size with or without attached shelf * "- ■>

The invention relates to a table-shaped table which is adjustable in height and / or in size Piece of furniture with or without an attached shelf, consisting of a frame and legs on the frame.

There are tables known in which the legs consist of two nested parts, with the a cotter pin or a screw can be inserted into both parts of a leg, so that the table is at its height can be adjusted. The disadvantage of this method is that only certain heights of the table are set can be and that a relatively large number of holes in the individual parts of the leg must be a satisfactory adjustability

to reach.

The invention is based on the problem of a piece of furniture z. B. to create a table, a shelf, a chair, a footstool or the like, the piece of furniture should be adjustable in size, height and shape so that it can be adapted to any provided conditions is possible. The adjustability should be easy to achieve. Also should For example, a table can be set at any height, or a footstool should be at any height Height can be brought with any inclination. In the case of shelves, the height at which the shelf is located should be set, the inclination of the shelf should also be changeable and beyond that be given a possibility to arrange the shelf more or less expansive from the shelf frame. For example the support frame for a table top should also be adapted to table tops of different sizes can, so that z. B. from an auadratischen table rectangular table can be formed, on which then, for example, two square table tops are placed.

In particular, the invention is directed to the application to assembly devices in which on different People on the one hand and on the other hand to different work requirements must be paid attention to, so that for for this purpose vertically and laterally adjustable tables, vertically and reclining footstools and adjustable shelves are desirable.

According to the invention, this is achieved by a piece of furniture of the type mentioned in that the legs or Parts of the frame are each formed from profile parts matching one another in shape, a first Profile part designed to be plugged into a second profile part

7633821 21.04.77

and has a through opening extending in the plugging direction for a screw on the second profile part a passage for the screw is arranged and that the head part of the screw outside of the profile part and one screwed onto the screw nut is arranged within the first profile part. This solution lies in general The principle is based on using pluggable parts that match in their dimensions, so that the one part is movable in the other, the parts being fastened to one another by means of a screw and a nut can, so that depending on how far one part is inserted into the other, a height or length adjustability of the two parts involved in the connection is possible.

The profile parts according to the invention can not only be square in cross section, it is also possible to use any other shapes tailored to a particular application, for example irregularly shaped profiles that can be plugged into one another.

In order to connect a larger number of tables in the longitudinal or transverse direction, you can accordingly designed profiles are used, whereby two or more inner profile parts fit into the outer profile part, which are connected to one another in a corresponding manner.

The invention is explained below with reference to the drawing, for example.

Figures 1 to 4 show views of a first embodiment a combination of two profile parts.

Fig. 5 shows a preferred embodiment of a for Connection of the profile parts used nut with screw.

6 shows a diagrammatic view of a modified one Embodiment of the profile parts according to the invention.

Fig. 7 shows a piece of furniture according to the invention, which can be changed in many directions Has dimensions.

A first embodiment of a connection made of profile parts is shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the inner profile part 10 being square in cross section and having a through opening 14 extending in the longitudinal direction approximately in the middle of its longitudinal side. An outer profile part 11, which is square in cross-section, is designed to fit around the profile part 10. In the vicinity of one end of the profile part 11 there is a through hole through which a screw 12 passes. In the assembled or plugged-together state, the first profile part 10 is located within the second profile part 11, the screw 12, which carries a nut 13 inside the first profile part 10, passes through the through ^{hole and the through slot I 1 I.}

6 shows a second embodiment of a connection of profile parts = two corresponding profiles

have corresponding through slots 14 and 24 on one of their side faces. Both profile parts 10 and 20 are inserted into a profile part 30, which through openings for screws 12 and 22.

In order to connect the profile parts to one another in the desired position, the connection between the nut 13 is unfl the screw 12 and 22 released so that the profile parts can be moved towards each other as desired. Has the desired location been reached been, the screw 12 or 22 is tightened, it is useful if the nut 13 such a lateral dimension has that it cannot rotate within the inner profile part 10 and 20, respectively. Therefore only there is 3 Tightening of the screw 12 or 22 is necessary in order to connect the two profile parts to one another in the desired position.

Pig. 7 shows a piece of furniture which in several places has those described in the preceding figures Has connections so that the piece of furniture can be adjusted in many ways overall. In which The piece of furniture shown is essentially a table with one at the rear of the table attached shelf part. Such a table is suitable for assembly work by the pure assembly work be carried out on the tabletop and the individual parts required for assembly Compartments, containers or the like are placed in the compartments of the shelf.

In Fig. 7, the screws 12 and 22 can be seen at different points. To make it clear in what way Adjustabilities are given, a series of arrows are indicated in FIG. 7. The arrow 4l indicates the height adjustability the table top. The arrow 42 indicates the height adjustability of the shelves relative to the table top on. An arrow 43 indicates the adjustability of the table frame in one direction and an arrow 4 $ the Adjustability of the table frame in the longitudinal direction. An arrow 44 indicates the adjustability of the top shelf compartment in the horizontal direction. In order to achieve the adjustability corresponding to the arrows, the individual Legs, the frame parts and the like have been carried out in the manner shown in FIGS. Should If an adjustment is made in any sense, it is only necessary to turn the screw in question loosen, change the relative position of the individual profile parts to each other and retighten the screw.
