FREMGANGSMÅDE TIL SAMMENKLAPNING AF STEL PÅ BORD, SAMT BESLAG TIL BRUG VED FREMGANGSMÅDENPROCEDURE FOR FIXING FRAME ON TABLE, AND PROCEDURE FOR USING THE PROCEDURE

5 Opfindelsen angår en fremgangsmåde til sammenklapning af stel på et bord til lav stablehøjde, hvilket bord omfatter midler til stabilisering af bordben eller stel i sammenklappet og eller udklappet tilstand.The invention relates to a method for collapsing frames on a table for low stacking height, which table comprises means for stabilizing table legs or frames in the collapsed and or folded state.

Opfindelsen angår tillige et beslag til sammenklapning af stel på et bord til lav 10 stablehøjde, hvilket bord omfatter midler til stabilisering af bordben eller stel i sammenklappet og eller udklappet tilstand.The invention also relates to a bracket for folding frames on a table to a low stacking height, which table comprises means for stabilizing table legs or frames in the collapsed and or folded state.

Ved et bord med sammenklappeligt stel, er det et problem når to overfor hinanden beliggende stel klappes sammen, idet de to stel vil komme til at ligge oven 15 på hinanden, når de to stel klappes ind under bordpladen. Dette kan løses ved at anbringe stellets hængsling med bordpladen i to planer, der er beliggende over hinanden og parallelt med bordpladen, på en sådan måde at beslaget i den ene ende af bordet har drejeakse beliggende tættere på bordpladen end drejeaksen på beslaget beliggende i bordets anden ende. Dette er det mest almindelige ved 20 bordben/stel med udformning som et omvendt T.In a table with collapsible frame, it is a problem when two opposite frames are folded together, since the two frames will lie on top of each other when the two frames are folded under the table top. This can be solved by placing the frame hinge with the countertop in two planes located one above the other and parallel to the countertop, such that the bracket at one end of the table has a pivot axis located closer to the countertop than the pivot axis of the bracket located in the other table. end. This is the most common of 20 table legs / frames with a reverse T design.

Ved borde med stel af mere ordinær type, hvor der er et bordben anbragt i hvert af bordets hjørner, kan man enten løse problemet med anbringelse af de sammenklappede bordben ved førnævnte metode eller ved at anbringe det ene stel v 25 forskudt i sideretningen i forhold til det andet stel. Derved opnår man at begge stel kan klappes ind under bordpladen og således at de to stel er beliggende i samme plan under bordpladen. På denne måde opnår man at bordets højde ved sammenklappet tilstand er mindre end ved løsninger hvor stellene ligger i to plan.For tables of a more ordinary type, where there is a table leg placed in each of the corners of the table, one can either solve the problem of placing the folded table legs by the aforementioned method or by placing one frame v 25 offset in the lateral direction. the second frame. This results in the fact that both frames can be folded under the countertop and so that the two frames are located in the same plane under the countertop. In this way it is obtained that the height of the table in the collapsed state is less than in solutions where the frames are in two planes.

Man kan også løse problemet med sammenkiappede stel i to planer ved at ud- 30 DK 175028 B1 2 forme stellene i hver ende ( et stel er et par ben med et eller flere forbindelses-stykker imellem) har forskellig afstand mellem benene, det vil sige, at ved sammenklapning kommer benene fra stellet i den ene ende af bordet til at ligge uden på benene fra stellet i den anden ende af bordet, eller omvendt.It is also possible to solve the problem of collapsed frames in two planes by forming the frames at each end (a frame is a pair of legs with one or more connecting pieces in between) having different distances between the legs, ie , that when collapsed, the legs of the frame at one end of the table will lie outside the legs of the frame at the other end of the table, or vice versa.

5 I tilfælde af, at man har behov for at sætte flere borde af sidstnævnte type sammen, for eksempel i forlængelse af hinanden, ser det ikke særlig pænt ud, at benene ikke står ud for hinanden på en lang række, idet bordbenene vil være placeret forskudt i forhold til hinanden skiftevis til henholdsvis den ene eller den an-10 den side.5 In the case of the need to assemble several tables of the latter type, for example in succession, it does not seem very neat that the legs do not face each other on a long row, since the table legs will be placed offset relative to one another alternately to one or the other, respectively.

Fra DE 197 56 259 C1 kendes et bord med et sammenklappeligt understel.From DE 197 56 259 C1 is known a table with a collapsible base.

Dette understel er beregnet til at blive forskudt sideværts i forhold til bordpladen og dermed i forhold til de beslag der fastgø rer understellet til bordpladen. For at 15 gøre understellet drejeligt i forhold til bordpladen er der i hver ende af bordpla den på dennes underside anbragt et sæt lejer hvori en tværgående aksel kan drejes. På den tværgående aksel er fastgjort et par bordben. Midt på den tværgående aksel er der på hver side anbragt en kile eller lignende, der er beregnet til at gå i indgreb med et tilsvarende antal åbninger, hvilke åbninger er placeret i 20 en afstivning, der går på langs af bordpladen og er placeret under denne. Ved påvirkning med et håndtag placeret i det ene leje, kan den tværgående aksel forskydes i sin længderetning, det vil sige i bordets tværretning. Den tværgående aksel er i den ende, der vender bort fra håndtaget forsynet med en trykfjeder. På denne måde vil den tværgående aksel forskydes tilbage til sin hvilestilling, når 25 håndtaget ikke længere påvirkes.This chassis is intended to be displaced laterally in relation to the worktop and thus in relation to the brackets that attach the chassis to the worktop. In order to make the chassis rotatable relative to the worktop, at each end of the worktop there is provided a set of bearings on which a transverse shaft can be rotated. Attached to the transverse shaft is a pair of table legs. In the middle of the transverse shaft is arranged on each side a wedge or the like, which is intended to engage a corresponding number of openings, which openings are located in a stiffening extending longitudinally of the table top and located below it. . By actuation with a handle located in one bearing, the transverse shaft can be displaced in its longitudinal direction, that is, in the transverse direction of the table. The transverse shaft is provided with a compression spring at the end facing away from the handle. In this way, the transverse shaft will shift back to its resting position when the handle is no longer actuated.

Således vil de to kiler, der er anbragt på hver sin side af den tværgående aksel forskydes ind i de dertil beregnede åbninger for på denne måde at fastholde understellet i udklappet position. Når understellet skal klappes sammen påvirkes 30 håndtaget så den tværgående aksel forskydes i sin længderetning væk fra det leje hvori håndtaget er placeret, trykfjederen sammenpresses og de to kiler på 3 DK 175028 B1 hver side af den tværgående aksel forskydes ud af de to åbninger i afstivningen, hvorved understellet kan svinge om den tværgående aksel, der drejer i lejerne placeret i akslens ender. Når understellet er drejet til sin sammenklappede position, ophæves påvirkningen af håndtaget, trykfjederen presser den tværgående 5 aksel mod lejet med håndtaget, hvorved den ene eller begge de to kiler forskydes ind i nogle andre åbninger i afstivningen, således at understellet sikres i sin sammenklappede position.Thus, the two wedges disposed on either side of the transverse shaft will be displaced into the intended openings to maintain the chassis in the folded position in this way. When the chassis is to be folded, the handle is actuated so that the transverse shaft is displaced longitudinally away from the bearing in which the handle is placed, the compression spring is compressed and the two wedges of each side of the transverse shaft are displaced out of the two openings in the stiffener. , whereby the chassis can pivot about the transverse shaft rotating in the bearings located at the ends of the shaft. When the chassis is rotated to its collapsed position, the actuation of the handle is lifted, the compression spring pushes the transverse shaft against the bearing with the handle, thereby displacing one or both of the wedges into some other openings in the stiffener to secure the chassis in its collapsed position. .

Formålet med DE 197 56 259 C1 er at sikre understellets position såvel i udklap-10 pet som i sammenklappet stilling.The purpose of DE 197 56 259 C1 is to secure the position of the chassis both in the fold-out position and in the collapsed position.

Dette giver en kompliceret løsning med mange komponenter, samt risiko for klemning af fingre, idet der er placeret et bærehåndtag i umiddelbar nærhed af det område hvor kilerne skal passere ind og ud af åbningerne i afstivningen.This provides a complicated solution with many components, as well as the risk of pinching, as a carrying handle is located in the immediate vicinity of the area where the wedges must pass in and out of the openings in the stiffener.

15 Nærværende opfindelse adskiller sig blandt andet fra DE 197 56 259 C1 ved at være opbygget af langt færre komponenter, der produktionsteknisk er langt mere simple, idet selve hængseldelen kun består af tre komponenter, hvoraf de to er ens. Desuden løser DE 197 56 259 C1 ikke problemet med bordbenenes place-20 ring ved såvel sammen- som udklappet position.15 The present invention differs, inter alia, from DE 197 56 259 C1 in that it is made up of far fewer components, which are technically far simpler in that the hinge part itself consists of only three components, the two of which are the same. Furthermore, DE 197 56 259 C1 does not solve the problem of the position of the table legs at both folded and folded positions.

Det er opfindelsens formål, at løse disse problemer idet man ved beslaget ifølge opfindelsen opnår at stellene, når de klappes sammen, ved hjælp af simple midler kommer til at ligge i et plan lige op mod bordpladen og når stellene er klappet 25 ud vil benene være placeret i samme afstand fra bordpladens kanter og/eller fra et hjørne på bordpladen.It is the object of the invention to solve these problems by obtaining, in the bracket according to the invention, that the frames, when folded together, will lie in a plane straight up against the table top and when the frames are folded 25 the legs will be located at the same distance from the edges of the worktop and / or from a corner of the worktop.

Dette opnås ifølge fremgangsmåden ved, at ved drejning af stel i modstående ender til sammenklapning fremtvinges en sideværts forskydning af stellene i 30 modsatte retninger i forhold til hinanden ved hjælp af styremidler, hvilke styremidler omfatter en til stellet fastgjort styreknop, samt et i forhold til bordet DK 175028 B1 4 fast beliggende spor med en stigning i bordets sideværts retning, hvilket spor optager styreknoppen og derved påvirker stellet til forskydning når stellet drejes om en akse gennem et forbindelsesstykke, således at de sammenklappede stel bringes til at befinde sig i samme plan.This is achieved according to the method in that by rotating the frame at opposite ends for folding, a lateral displacement of the frames in 30 opposite directions is forced by means of control means, which control means comprise a control knob attached to the frame, and a relative to the table. DK 175028 B1 4 fixed grooves with an increase in the lateral direction of the table, which groove takes up the control knob and thereby affects the frame for displacement as the frame is rotated about an axis through a connecting piece, so that the collapsed frames are placed in the same plane.

55

Dette opnås især ved at benytte et beslag ifølge opfindelsen, hvor beslaget omfatter en indvendig cylinderflade, hvori er dannet et spor til en styreknop for forskydning af et stel, hvilket spor strækker sig i såvel aksial retning som i tangentiel retning i den indvendige cylinderflade for tilvejebringelse af et spor 10 med en stigning i beslagets sideværts retning.This is particularly achieved by using a bracket according to the invention, wherein the bracket comprises an inner cylinder surface, in which is formed a groove for a control knob for displacement of a frame, which groove extends in both axial and tangential directions in the inner cylinder surface for provision. of a groove 10 with an increase in the lateral direction of the bracket.

Hængslet eller beslaget ifølge opfindelsen er fortrinsvis opbygget af tre dele. De to af delene, der udgør selve føringen, dannes af to ens halvdele. Disse to ens halvdele samles af et yderligere fortrinsvis fleksibelt stykke. Dette fleksible stykke 15 tjener tillige til at virke som stabelklods, eller som blødt mellemlæg, således at bordpladen ikke bliver skrammet ved stabling af borde oven på hinanden.The hinge or bracket according to the invention is preferably made up of three parts. The two of the parts that make up the guide itself are formed by two identical halves. These two identical halves are joined together by a further preferably flexible piece. This flexible piece 15 also serves as a stacking block, or as a soft pad, so that the table top is not scratched by stacking tables on top of each other.

De to ens halvdele er konstrueret ens af produktionsmæssige årsager, idet man så kun behøver at have to forskellige komponenter til konstruktion af ét be-20 slag/hængsel, der i alt består af tre dele. Når de to ens dele bliver sat sammen overfor hinanden, danner de således en form for lejeskål for et stel.The two identical halves are constructed the same for production reasons, having only two different components for the construction of one bracket / hinge consisting of a total of three parts. Thus, when the two equal parts are joined together, they form a bearing bowl for a frame.

Det på undersiden af beslaget skråt forløbende spor, udgør et styrespor for en tap placeret på stellet. Ved stellets svingning i beslaget vil styreknoppen ved be~ 25 vægelse i sporet bevirke at stellet forskydes i sideværts retning en afstand svarende til mindst halvdelen af bordbenets/stellets tykkelse. På undersiden af beslaget er der yderligere foretaget en udfræsning eller lignende, således at der mellem beslaget og bordpladen dannes et spor til optagelse af en sammenkoblingsdel til fastholdelse eller styring af en eller flere yderligere bordplader, an-30 bragt i forlængelse af hinanden ved opstilling i forskellige bordkonfigurationer.The groove on the underside of the bracket forms a guide groove for a pin located on the frame. When the frame is pivoted in the bracket, the control knob will move in the groove by moving it laterally a distance corresponding to at least half the thickness of the table leg / frame. On the underside of the bracket, a cut-out or the like is further made, so that a groove is formed between the bracket and the table top for accommodating an interconnecting part for holding or controlling one or more additional table tops, arranged in succession when arranged in different table configurations.

Opfindelsen vil i det følgende blive nærmere beskrevet under henvisning til tegningen, hvor 5 fig. 1 viser et bord med sammen klappede stel, fig. 2 viser et bord med udklappede stel ifølge fremgangsmåden, set fra siden, 10 fig. 3 viser et bord med udklappede stel ifølge fremgangsmåden, set fra en ende, fig. 4 viser et beslag ifølge opfindelsen, set fra siden, 15 fig. 5 viser et beslag ifølge opfindelsen, set fra en ende med bordpladen vendende nedad, og fig. 6 viser et beslag ifølge opfindelsen, set fra neden.The invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the drawing, in which: FIG. 1 shows a table with folded frames; FIG. 2 is a side view of a folded-out table according to the method; FIG. 3 is an end view of a fold-out table according to the method; FIG. 4 is a side view of a bracket according to the invention; FIG. 5 shows a bracket according to the invention, seen from an end with the table top facing downwards, and fig. 6 is a bottom view of a bracket according to the invention.

20 I det følgende beskrives fremgangsmåden ifølge opfindelsen, samt en foretruk-ken udførelsesform af beslaget.20 The following describes the method according to the invention, and a preferred embodiment of the bracket.

Ved fremgangsmåden ifølge opfindelsen forskydes et stel 1, 2 til understøtning 25 af et bord 3 sideværts ved sammenklapning af bordets 3 stel 1, 2, hvilket vil sige i stellets 1, 2 drejeakses retning. Stellet 1, 2 i den ene ende af bordet 3 forskydes ved sammenklapning mindst halvdelen af bredden på et af stellets 1, 2 ben 4, hvilke ben 4 fortrinsvis er lige brede eller tykke. Stellet 1, 2 i den anden ende af bordet 3 forskydes ligeledes mindst halvdelen af bredden på et af stellets 1, 2 30 ben 4, hvilke ben 4 fortrinsvis er lige brede eller tykke. De to stel 1, 2 forskydes i hver sin retning. Netop forskydningen af hvert stel 1, 2 til hver sin side og over en 6 DK 175028 B1 strækning på mindst halvdelen af et bordbens 4 tykkelse for hvert stel 1, 2, bevirker, at der er plads til at stellenes 1, 2 ben 4 kan bringes til at ligge ved siden af hinanden og således lejres i ét plan med en lav stabelhøjde til følge, ved stabling af flere borde 3 oven på hinanden i en opbevaringssituation.In the method according to the invention, a frame 1, 2 for supporting a table 3 is displaced laterally by collapsing the frame 1, 2 of the table 3, that is in the direction of the pivot axis of the frame 1, 2. The frame 1, 2 at one end of the table 3 is displaced by folding at least half the width of one of the frame 1, 2 legs 4, which legs 4 are preferably equally wide or thick. The frame 1, 2 at the other end of the table 3 is also displaced at least half the width of one of the frame 4 of the frame 1, 2, which legs 4 are preferably equally wide or thick. The two frames 1, 2 are displaced in each direction. Precisely the displacement of each frame 1, 2 to each side and over a stretch of at least half the thickness of a table leg 4 for each frame 1, 2, allows for space for the frames 1, 2 legs 4 caused to lie side by side, thus being enclosed in one plane with a low stack height, by stacking several tables 3 on top of each other in a storage situation.

Selve den sideværts bevægelse udføres eller fremtvinges af stellets 1,2 drejning i et eller flere beslag 5. Beslaget 5 er indrettet til at kunne fastgøres under en bordplade 3. Beslaget 5 omfatter en indvendig cylinderflade 6, hvori er dannet et eller flere spor 7, hvilke spor 7 strækker på skrå langs cylinderfladen 6 på en så-10 dan måde, at udstrækningen går i såvel tangentiel retning som i aksial retning i forhold til cylinderfladen 6.The lateral movement itself is performed or forced by the rotation of the frame 1,2 in one or more brackets 5. The bracket 5 is arranged to be secured under a table top 3. The bracket 5 comprises an inner cylinder surface 6, in which one or more grooves 7 are formed. which grooves 7 extend obliquely along the cylinder surface 6 in such a way that the extension extends in both tangential and axial direction with respect to the cylinder surface 6.

Stellet 1, 2 eller stellene 1, 2 til et bord 3 er opbygget således, at et stel 1, 2 fortrinsvis omfatter et par ben 4, hvilke ben 4 er forbundet med mindst et forbindel-15 sesstykke 8, fortrinsvis anbragt på tværs af bordets 3 længderetning. Forbindel sesstykket 8 er anbragt i benenes 4 øvre endeområde og udgør således stellets 1, 2 drejeakse. Forbindelsesstykket 8 er lejret drejeligt i beslaget 5 i den indvendige cylinderflade 6. På forbindelsesstykket 8, der fortrinsvis er fremstillet af et rørformet materiale, er der på overfladen anbragt en tap, knop, knast eller lig-20 nende (ikke vist), som strækker sig radialt ud fra forbindelsesstykkets 8 over flade, hvilken tap er beregnet til at føres i beslagets 5 spor 7, således at når stellet 1, 2 drejes fra en opslået stilling til en sammenklappet stilling, fremtvinges en sideværts bevægelse. Hvor stor denne sideværts vandring eller bevægelse skal være, bestemmes af sporet 7 i beslagets 5 indvendige cylinderflade 6, idet 25 sporets 7 placering og udstrækning i henholdsvis tangentiel retning som i aksial » retning i forhold til cylinderfladen 6 til dels kan sammenlignes med stigningen på et gevind.The frame 1, 2 or the frames 1, 2 of a table 3 is constructed such that a frame 1, 2 preferably comprises a pair of legs 4, which legs 4 are connected to at least one connecting piece 8, preferably arranged transversely of the table. 3 longitudinal direction. The connecting piece 8 is arranged in the upper end region of the legs 4 and thus constitutes the pivot axis of the frame 1, 2. The connecting piece 8 is pivotally mounted in the bracket 5 of the inner cylinder surface 6. On the connecting piece 8, which is preferably made of a tubular material, a tab, knob, cam or the like (not shown) is arranged on the surface which extends radially outwardly from the surface of the connecting piece 8, which pin is intended to be inserted in the groove 5 of the bracket 5, so that when the frame 1, 2 is rotated from a folded position to a folded position, a lateral movement is forced. The magnitude of this lateral travel or movement must be determined by the groove 7 in the inner cylinder surface 6 of the bracket 5, the position and extension of the groove 7 in the tangential direction and in the axial direction relative to the cylinder surface 6, respectively. thread.

Til stellet 1, 2, er der drejeligt fastgjort en form for bøjle 9 eller stiver til begræns-30 ning af stellets 1, 2 drejebevægelse ved udklapning/sammenklapning og/eller til fastholdelse af stellet 1, 2 i udklappet position. Bøjlen forbinder stellet 1, 2 med 7 DK 175028 B1 en vange 10 eller lignende, der på kendt måde fastholder den i alt væsentligt midterste del 11 af bøjlen 9 i mindst én position. Vangen 10 tjener tillige til afstivning af bordpladen 3, hvilket er vigtigt for stabiliteten ved længere borde 3.To the frame 1, 2, a form of bracket 9 or struts is pivotally attached to limit the rotational movement of the frame 1, 2 by folding / collapsing and / or for holding the frame 1, 2 in the folded position. The hoop attaches the frame 1, 2 to a vane 10 or the like, which in a known manner retains the substantially middle portion 11 of the hoop 9 in at least one position. The vane 10 also serves to stiffen the countertop 3, which is important for the stability of longer tables 3.

5 Ved sammensætning af flere borde 3 i forlængelse af hinanden, eller ved sammensætning i andre bordkonfigurationer, hvor man normalt indskyder en tillægsplade mellem to borde 3, benyttes en koblingsdel (ikke vist), hvilken koblingsdel er indrettet til at blive fastlåst i et spor 12 dannet i drejebeslaget 5 for stellet 1,2 (se eventuelt fig. 5 og fig. 6). Denne koblingsdel skydes ind i sporet 12, der for-10 løber som en slags kanal mellem beslaget 5 og bordpladen 3. I beslaget 5 er en fordybning 13 i sporet 12, således at koblingsdelen med en form for fjederanordning fastholdes udløseligt i sporet 12. På eventuelle tillægsplader monteres et hunbeslag (ikke vist), hvilket hunbeslag har en underside, der svarer til undersiden af drejebeslaget 5 for stellet 1,2. Hunbeslagets overside er fortrinsvis flad.5 When assembling multiple tables 3 in succession, or when assembling in other table configurations, where an additional plate is usually inserted between two tables 3, a coupling part (not shown) is used, which coupling part is arranged to be locked in a groove 12 formed in the turning bracket 5 of the frame 1,2 (see optionally Fig. 5 and Fig. 6). This coupling part is slid into the groove 12, which runs as a kind of channel between the bracket 5 and the table top 3. In the bracket 5 is a recess 13 in the groove 12, so that the coupling part with a kind of spring device is releasably retained in the groove 12. On any additional plates are fitted with a female bracket (not shown), which female bracket has a underside corresponding to the underside of the swivel bracket 5 for the frame 1,2. The upper side of the female bracket is preferably flat.

Forbindelsesstykket 8 kan være lejret i et eller flere beslag 5. Der kan i en yderligere udførelsesform være tale om et beslag 5, der strækker sig over størstedelen af bordets 3 bredde.The connector 8 may be housed in one or more brackets 5. In a further embodiment, the bracket 5 may extend over most of the width of the table 3.

20 Beslaget 5 er fortrinsvis opbygget af tre dele. De to af delene 14, 15, der udgør selve føringen 6, 7, er dannet af to ens halvdele 14,15. Disse to ens halvdele14, 15 samles af et yderligere fortrinsvis fleksibelt stykke 16. Dette fleksible stykke 16 tjener tillige til at virke som stabelklods, eller som blødt mellemlæg, således at bordpladen 3 ikke bliver skrammet ved stabling af borde 3 oven på hinanden.The bracket 5 is preferably made of three parts. The two of the parts 14, 15, which constitute the guide 6, 7 themselves, are formed by two identical halves 14,15. These two identical halves14, 15 are joined together by a further preferably flexible piece 16. This flexible piece 16 also serves as a stacking block, or as a soft pad, so that the table top 3 is not scratched by stacking tables 3 on top of one another.

De to ens halvdele 14, 15 er konstrueret således af produktionsmæssige årsager, idet man derved kun behøver at have to forskellige komponenter til konstruktion af ét beslag/hængsel, der i alt består af tre dele. Når de to ens dele 14, 15 bliver sat sammen overfor hinanden, danner de således en form for lejeskål 6 30 for stellet 1,2.The two identical halves 14, 15 are thus constructed for production reasons, thus having only two different components for the construction of one bracket / hinge consisting of a total of three parts. Thus, when the two identical parts 14, 15 are joined together, they form a form of bearing bowl 6 30 for the frame 1,2.

De to halvdele 14, 15 sammenholdes fortrinsvis af den blødere del 16, der for eksempel fastgøres til de to øvrige dele ved sammenstøbning, limning eller lignende. Beslaget 5 fastgøres til bordpladen 3 ved hjælp af fastgørelsesmidler anbragt gennem dertil indrettede åbninger 17.Preferably, the two halves 14, 15 are held together by the softer portion 16, which, for example, is attached to the other two parts by molding, gluing or the like. The bracket 5 is secured to the countertop 3 by means of fasteners arranged through openings 17 thereto.
