Work table for office, especially for creating computer workstations

The invention relates to a work table for office purposes, in particular for forming computer workstations.

The object of the invention is to create a work table that can be adapted to the entire office-technical operational process, in particular for the formation of computer workstations, in which the ergonomic and anti-ropometric requirements are taken into account and consistently applied.

This object is achieved according to the invention in that a partially ring-shaped table module with at least one edge adjoining the front edge of the table top in an outer corner area of the table top is provided for identical table modules or table modules of a different type.

The invention ensures that the partially ring-shaped table module can be used to create table configurations that are adapted to the respective function, i.e. the respective office-technical operational process, even taking into account unfavorable spaces.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the table top of the partially ring-shaped table module has a circular arc-shaped inner edge, two front edges extending essentially radially outward from the inner edge, and one setting edge extending along the outer edge from each front edge at right angles to the respective front edge, wherein the outer

Edge runs diagonally in the section between the edges. Preferably, the front edges of the table top can be at an angle of 90° to each other, so that the partially ring-shaped table module has the shape of a quarter ring. In this embodiment, the partially ring-shaped table module offers particularly advantageous variation options for the creation of functional work tables.

For particularly favorable fitting and assembly of the table modules according to the invention, a design is recommended in which the length of the front edge and the length of the approach edge have the same module dimension (a). The radius (r) of the circular arc-shaped inner edge on the partially ring-shaped table module can also have the same module dimension (a) as the length of the front edge and the approach edge.

To ensure that the work table is stable and secure, it is recommended within the scope of the invention to arrange table legs under the table top in the area of the front edges and in the end areas of the edges. These table legs can be arranged under the table top in the outer edge area and have support arms extending under the table top. As an advantageous addition to the work table according to the invention, the table top of the partially ring-shaped table module can have an extendable or attachable auxiliary work top on the circular inner edge.

Another table module that can be placed on the edge of the partially ring-shaped table module can be one with a square table top as a side table, the edge length of which is equal to the length of the edge of the partially ring-shaped table module.

As another table module that can be placed on the edge of the partially ring-shaped table module, an additional table can also be provided, the table top of which has the shape of a right-angled triangle, in which the length of the legs is equal to the length of the edge on the table top of the partially ring-shaped table module.

A particularly advantageous system of table modules is obtained using the partially ring-shaped table module, the square table module and the triangular table module, if the edge length of the square table module and the cathetus length of the triangular table module are equal to the module dimensions for the front edges and the edge edges as well as the radius of the inner edge of the partially ring-shaped table module, while the hypotenuse length of the triangular table module is equal to the length of the edge sections formed on the partially ring-shaped table module on the outer edge of the table top between the edge edges.

For all table modules, but at least for the partially ring-shaped table module, the table height should preferably be adjustable. It is preferably provided that all the different table modules have the same table height.

An embodiment of the invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing. They show:

areas 23 extend at right angles to the front edge|s 22 leading edges 24. Between the ends of these leading edges 24, an edge section 25 extends on the outer edge.

The two front edges 22 are at an angle to each other, i.e. the floor plan of the partially ring-shaped table module represents a quarter ring. As a result, the angle formed between a contact edge 24 and the outer edge section 25 is 135°.

In the example shown, the front edges 22 and the approach edges 24 are the same length, with a module dimension a of, for example, 750 mm. Likewise, in this example, the radius r of the circular edge 21 is also equal to the grid dimension a of, for example, 750 mm. The length of the outer edge section is a · V~2. With grid dimension a, this results in a length of 1060 mm.

As indicated in Figure 1, the table top 26 of the partially ring-shaped table module 20 has an extendable auxiliary worktop 27 on the circular inner surface.

The table top 26 of the partially ring-shaped table module 20 rests on four table legs, namely two outer table legs 28 and two inner table legs 29. The outer table legs 28 are arranged in the area of the front edges 22, while the inner table legs are provided in the end area of the edge 24. The table legs 28 and 29 are all attached in the area of the outer edge, i.e. the edge 24 and the edge section 25, and are designed with support arms 30 that reach under the table top 26. In addition, the outer table legs 28 are provided with foot parts 31 that extend under the table to increase stability. The

The other table module 40 shown in Figures 3 to 5 is a side table with a square table top, which can be used as a printer table, for example. The side edges 42 of the square table top 41 in turn have a length in the module dimension a. This means that the square table module 40 can be adjusted to fit one or the other front edge 22 or one or the other positioning edge 24 of the partially ring-shaped table module 20. The square table module 40 is - as shown in Figures 4 and 5 - equipped with two table legs 28, which can be designed in the same way as the outer table legs of the partially ring-shaped table module 20. Like the outer table legs 28 provided in the partially ring-shaped table module 20, the table legs 28 in the square table module 40 also each have a support arm 30 that reaches under the table top 41 and a foot part 31.

As Figures 6 and 7 show, in the example shown, another table module 50 is also provided as an additional table, the table top 51 of which has the shape of a right-angled, isosceles triangle with catheti edges 52 and a hypotenuse edge 53. The length of the catheti edges 52 is equal to the module dimension a of the partially ring-shaped table module 20, so that the length of the hypotenuse edge 53 is a ·~\/~2 and is thus equal to the length of the edge section 25 on the partially ring-shaped table module 20. In the example shown, the table module 50 has two table legs 28 which extend from the right-angled corner along the catheti edges and which are otherwise designed in the same way as the outer table legs 28 of the partially ring-shaped table module 20, i.e. with a support arm 30 and foot part 31 which reach under the table top.

Figures 8 and 9 show a preferred application example in which two partially ring-shaped table modules 20 are put together, each with a front edge 22, so that the circular inner edge 21 forms the shape of a semicircle. The seat, for example an office chair, 55 is arranged in the semicircular space thus formed. Work equipment such as screen devices 56, telephone 57, drawing devices 58, etc. are arranged on the work table formed from two partially ring-shaped table modules 20. In the example shown, the keyboard part 59 of a terminal is set up on the extended auxiliary worktop 27. Figures 8 and 9 are only intended as an example of the setting up of such devices, whereby any setting up method appropriate to the individual case can be provided.

In the example in Figure 10, a comprehensive work table, in particular a computer work station, is shown, in which nine partially ring-shaped table modules 20 and, for example, fourteen square table modules placed between them are provided. In a triple computer work station according to Figure 11, a triple computer work station is shown, which is made up of three partially ring-shaped table modules 20 and square table modules 40 placed on their front edges. The free spaces remaining between the square table modules 40 and the edge sections 25 of adjacent partially ring-shaped table modules 20 are filled with triangular table modules 50. As shown in dashed lines in Figure, one or the other square table module ^O could also be replaced by a triangular table module 50, depending on the requirements of the given case.

In the examples shown in Figures 8 to 11, guide devices can preferably be provided for the work equipment arranged on the work table. With such guide devices, the screen devices 56 and the telephone can then be moved by the user to a desired location on predetermined paths. Circular arc-shaped paths are preferably provided that run concentrically to the inner edge 21. The drawing device 58 is then preferably mounted on a guide track that runs along the inner edge 21. Instead of the extendable design of the auxiliary worktop 21, in such a case a guide track running coaxially to the inner edge 21 is provided on the underside of the table top 26, so that the auxiliary worktop can be moved along the inner edge 21 to any location on the inner edge 21 desired by the user. The drawing device 58 can then be moved above the auxiliary worktop 27, so that both elements can be positioned one above the other and moved past each other.

The table legs, especially the inner table legs, are preferably made of hollow profile elements and are to be used as cable feed channels.
