Definitions

  • the invention relates to a corner work table, in particular for office work, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Individual tables are also known, the worktop of which has the shape of an equilateral triangle. These tables consist of a rigid frame, also in the form of an equilateral triangle with support feet on the triangle corners. The worktop is attached to the frame. With this table shape, depending on how the individual tables are moved together, long rows of tables, L-shaped, U-shaped and ring-shaped table arrangements can be realized. However, the tables are only moved together here, so that larger, disruptive intermediate joints occur between the adjacent worktops. In addition, by moving the individual work tables closer together, two supporting feet come to lie side by side, which restrict and hinder the foot space under the worktops.
  • the corner worktop should have the shape of a circular section with two straight radii sides and an arc side and be supported by a special base.
  • the circular work surface of the corner worktop creates a pleasing image and eliminates the risk of injury.
  • the support frame is well stiffened by the design of the base frame with a connecting bracket connecting the support feet and open towards the circular arc side of the worktop, the corner worktop itself contributing to stability.
  • the open bracket does not hinder foot space when sitting on the outside of the corner worktop, for example after setting up a larger conference table.
  • the corner worktable has its own stable base frame, a stable, composite table construction can only be created by connecting adjacent worktops to the base frame or the corner worktop, whereby independent support devices for the adjacent worktops near the base frame of the corner worktop can be dispensed with. This avoids double support at the joints and advantageously increases the free foot space in this area.
  • the corner work table can be seen as an element for upgrading L or U-shaped larger table versions, but can also be set up and used independently and independently of attached worktops at any time thanks to its own base frame.
  • flush-fitting angle rails are attached, which serve both for stiffening the corner worktops and as supporting and fastening elements for additional worktops.
  • a corner work table 1 is shown, consisting of a base 2 and one dotted corner worktop 3.
  • the corner worktop has the shape of a quarter circle cutout with an edge area as an arc section 4 and two connecting sides 5, 6.
  • the quarter circle cutout of the corner worktop 3 does not taper to the center of the circle, but is also cut out here in a quarter circle 7.
  • the length of the connection sides 5, 6 corresponds to the width of the further worktops to be connected here.
  • Non-right-angled circular sections could also be used for the corner worktop (to form different table shapes). The exact training is shown in Fig. 4.
  • the base frame 2 consists of a base-side bracket 8, the bracket ends of which stand vertically upwards and form two corner support feet 9, 10.
  • the upper ends of the corner support feet 9, 10 are connected by an arcuate support tube 11 which runs parallel to the circular arc 4 of the corner worktop 3.

Abstract

The invention relates to corner work table (1), in particular for office work, comprising a subframe (2) and a corner table top (3). The table top has the form of a circular segment, the radius sides being formed as connection sides (5,6) to further adjoinable table tops (17,18). The securing is effected by edge-side angle rails (34) and by openings in a support tube (11), into which the support arms (33,41) are insertable. The subframe (2) comprises a floor-side stirrup member (8) to which four support legs (9,10,14,15) are attached on which support tubes (11,16) are secured which in turn carry the corner table top (3). This subframe structure provides a high stability and firmness of the corner work table (1) and due to the form of the member (8) open towards the wide side of the corner work table a large degree of foot freedom for the user. For lowering a table top (17) compared with the height of the corner table top (3) a support plate is further proposed with support arms (40) secured thereto, said arms (40) engaging below and supporting the table top (17). It is achieved with the corner work table (1) shown that with adjoining table tops (17,18) the latter are supported at the joints by the subframe (2) of the corner table (1).

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Eckarbeitstisch, insbesondere für Büroarbeiten, nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a corner work table, in particular for office work, according to the preamble of claim 1.

Oftmals ist es zweckmässig und erwünscht, Schreibtische oder längere Konferenztischanordnungen in L- oder U-Form aufzubauen. Dazu ist es bekannt, zwei Arbeitstische mit dem Benutzer zugewandten, vertikalen Seitenkanten zusammenzurücken und den in der Verlängerung der Arbeitstische verbleibenden Raum durch eine Eckplatte abzudecken. Die Eckplatte wird dabei mit Winkelstücken an den beiden Arbeitstischen befestigt. Dieser Aufbau erfordert relativ viel Montagezeit und führt meist zu einem wenig stabilen und nur wenig belastbaren Eckelement zwischen den Arbeitstischen.It is often useful and desirable to build desks or longer conference table arrangements in an L or U shape. For this purpose, it is known to move two work tables together with the vertical side edges facing the user and to cover the space remaining in the extension of the work tables with a corner plate. The corner plate is attached to the two work tables with elbows. This structure requires a relatively large amount of assembly time and usually leads to a corner element between the work tables that is not very stable and can only be loaded with little load.

Es sind weiter Einzeltische bekannt, deren Arbeitsplatte die Form eines gleichseitigen Dreiecks hat. Diese Tische bestehen aus einem starren Rahmen, ebenfalls in der Form eines gleichseitigen Dreiecks mit Stützfüssen an den Dreiecksecken. Auf dem Rahmen ist die Arbeitsplatte befestigt. Mit dieser Tischform lassen sich je nach dem Zusammenrücken der Einzeltische lange Tischreihen, L-förmige, U-förmige und kranzförmige Tischanordnungen realisieren. Die Tische werden jedoch hier nur zusammengerückt, so dass grössere, störende Zwischenfugen zwischen den angrenzenden Arbeitsplatten auftreten. Zudem kommen durch das Zusammenrücken der Einzelarbeitstische jeweils zwei Stützfüsse nebeneinander zu liegen, die die Fussfreiheit unter den Arbeitsplatten einschränken und behindern. Durch die Dreiecksform, die hier zum Aufbau grösserer Tischgebilde notwendig ist, treten zwangsläufig scharfe Kanten auf, die zum einen die Gefahr von Verletzungen beinhalten und zum andern einen wenig gefälligen Anblick vermitteln. Besonders beim Aufbau von längeren Tischreihen schliesst die Stirnseite schräg zu der gesamten aufgebauten Arbeitsplatte ab und läuft in einer spitzen Ecke aus. Diese Art der Arbeitstische ist daher für einen fliegenden Aufbau, beispielsweise in Hotelnebenzimmern etc., geeignet und wenig zweckmässig für den Einsatz in Büroräumen.Individual tables are also known, the worktop of which has the shape of an equilateral triangle. These tables consist of a rigid frame, also in the form of an equilateral triangle with support feet on the triangle corners. The worktop is attached to the frame. With this table shape, depending on how the individual tables are moved together, long rows of tables, L-shaped, U-shaped and ring-shaped table arrangements can be realized. However, the tables are only moved together here, so that larger, disruptive intermediate joints occur between the adjacent worktops. In addition, by moving the individual work tables closer together, two supporting feet come to lie side by side, which restrict and hinder the foot space under the worktops. The triangular shape, which is necessary here to build up larger table structures, inevitably results in sharp edges, which on the one hand contain the risk of injuries and on the other hand convey a less pleasing appearance. Especially when setting up longer rows of tables, the front ends at an angle to the entire built-in worktop and ends in a pointed corner. This type of work table is therefore suitable for a flying installation, for example in hotel rooms etc., and is not very practical for use in offices.

Demgegenüber ist es Aufgabe der Erfindung, einen Eckarbeitstisch, insbesondere für Büroarbeiten, mit guter Stabilität und Standfestigkeit zu schaffen, der zum Aufbau von zusammenhängenden L- und U-förmigen Arbeitstischausführungen, insbesondere von Konferenz- und Schreibtischen, geeignet ist.In contrast, it is an object of the invention to provide a corner work table, in particular for office work, with good stability and stability, which is suitable for the construction of coherent L and U-shaped work table designs, in particular of conference and desk tables.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved with the characterizing features of claim 1.

Gemäss Anspruch 1 soll die Eckarbeitsplatte die Form eines Kreisausschnitts mit zwei geraden Radienseiten und einer Kreisbogenseite aufweisen und durch ein spezielles Untergestell unterstützt sein. Mit der kreisbogenförmigen Ausbildung der Eckarbeitsplatte wird ein gefälliges Bild erreicht und die Gefahr von Verletzungen ausgeschlossen. Durch die Ausführung des Untergestells mit einem die Stützfüsse verbindenden, zur Kreisbogenseite der Arbeitsplatte hin offenen Verbindungsbügel wird das Stützgestell gut ausgesteift, wobei die Eckarbeitsplatte selbst zur Stabilität mit beiträgt. Durch den offenen Bügel wird die Fussfreiheit beim Sitzen an der Aussenseite der Eckarbeitsplatte, beispielsweise nach dem Aufbau eines grösseren Konferenztisches, nicht behindert. Da der Eckarbeitstisch ein eigenes stabiles Untergestell hat, kann nur durch Verbindung angrenzender Arbeitsplatten mit dem Untergestell oder der Eckarbeitsplatte eine stabile, zusammengesetzte Tischkonstruktion geschaffen werden, wobei selbständige Unterstützungseinrichtungen der angrenzenden Arbeitsplatten in der Nähe des Untergestells der Eckarbeitsplatte entfallen können. Dadurch wird eine Doppelunterstützung an den Stossstellen vermieden und der freie Fussraum in diesem Bereich vorteilhaft vergrössert.According to claim 1, the corner worktop should have the shape of a circular section with two straight radii sides and an arc side and be supported by a special base. The circular work surface of the corner worktop creates a pleasing image and eliminates the risk of injury. The support frame is well stiffened by the design of the base frame with a connecting bracket connecting the support feet and open towards the circular arc side of the worktop, the corner worktop itself contributing to stability. The open bracket does not hinder foot space when sitting on the outside of the corner worktop, for example after setting up a larger conference table. Since the corner worktable has its own stable base frame, a stable, composite table construction can only be created by connecting adjacent worktops to the base frame or the corner worktop, whereby independent support devices for the adjacent worktops near the base frame of the corner worktop can be dispensed with. This avoids double support at the joints and advantageously increases the free foot space in this area.

Der Eckarbeitstisch ist als Element zum Aufrüsten für L- oder U-förmige grössere Tischausführungen zu sehen, kann jedoch durch sein eigenes Untergestell jederzeit auch alleine und unabhängig von angebauten Arbeitsplatten aufgestellt und verwendet werden.The corner work table can be seen as an element for upgrading L or U-shaped larger table versions, but can also be set up and used independently and independently of attached worktops at any time thanks to its own base frame.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform sind entlang der Radien- oder Anbauseiten der Eckarbeitsplatte mit diesen Seiten bündig abschliessende Winkelschienen angebracht, die sowohl zur Aussteifung der Eckarbeitsplatten als auch als Stütz- und Befestigungselemente für angebaute weitere Arbeitsplatten dienen.In a preferred embodiment, along the radii or attachment sides of the corner worktop with these sides, flush-fitting angle rails are attached, which serve both for stiffening the corner worktops and as supporting and fastening elements for additional worktops.

Die Unteransprüche haben zweckmässige Ausgestaltungen des Gegenstandes nach dem Hauptanspruch zum Inhalt.The subclaims have expedient refinements of the subject matter according to the main claim.

Anhand einer Zeichnung wird die Erfindung mit weiteren Merkmalen, Einzelheiten und Vorteilen beschrieben.The invention is described with further features, details and advantages on the basis of a drawing.

In Fig. 1 ist ein Eckarbeitstisch 1 dargestellt, bestehend aus einem Untergestell 2 und einer strichliert angedeuteten Eckarbeitsplatte 3. Die Eckarbeitsplatte hat die Form eines Viertelkreisausschnitts mit einem Randbereich als Kreisbogenabschnitt 4 und zwei Anschlussseiten 5, 6. Der Viertelkreisausschnitt der Eckarbeitsplatte 3 läuft nicht zum Kreismittelpunkt hin spitz zu, sondern ist hier ebenfalls in einem Viertelkreis 7 ausgeschnitten. Die Länge der Anschlussseiten 5, 6 entspricht der Breite der hier anzuschliessenden weiteren Arbeitsplatten. Es könnten (zur Bildung verschiedener Tischformen) auch nichtrechtwinkelige Kreisausschnitte für die Eckarbeitsplatte verwendet werden. Die genaue Ausbildung geht aus Fig. 4 hervor.In Fig. 1, a corner work table 1 is shown, consisting of a base 2 and one dotted corner worktop 3. The corner worktop has the shape of a quarter circle cutout with an edge area as an arc section 4 and two connecting sides 5, 6. The quarter circle cutout of the corner worktop 3 does not taper to the center of the circle, but is also cut out here in a quarter circle 7. The length of the connection sides 5, 6 corresponds to the width of the further worktops to be connected here. Non-right-angled circular sections could also be used for the corner worktop (to form different table shapes). The exact training is shown in Fig. 4.

Das Untergestell 2 besteht aus einem bodenseitigen Bügel 8, dessen Bügelenden vertikal nach oben stehen und zwei Eckstützfüsse 9, 10 bilden. Die oberen Enden der Eckstützfüsse 9, 10 sind durch ein bogenförmiges Trägerrohr 11 verbunden, das parallel zum Kreisbogen 4 der Eckarbeitsplatte 3 verläuft. Die Enden des Trägerrohrs 11 sind als Einstecköffnungen 12, 13 offen. Etwa unter der Mitte der Anschlussseiten verlaufen weitere zwei Stützfüsse 14, 15 vertikal nach unten und sind bodenseitig mit dem Bügel 8 verbunden. Die Stützfüsse 14, 15 haben an ihrer Oberseite durch ein weiteres Trägerrohr 16 Verbindung, das sich bogenförmig in Richtung der Spitze der Eckarbeitsplatte 3 erstreckt und diesen Teil der Eckarbeitsplatte unterstützt. Die Eckstützfüsse 9 und 10 sowie der Bügel 8 und die Stützfüsse 14, 15 und das Trägerrohr 16 sind vorzugsweise aus einem metallischen Rohrstück gebogen und zu dem gezeigten Untergestell 2 verschweisst. Das Untergestell 2 könnte jedoch auch aus Kunststoff oder Holz und aus nichtrohrförmigen Teilen aufgebaut sein.The base frame 2 consists of a base-side bracket 8, the bracket ends of which stand vertically upwards and form two corner support feet 9, 10. The upper ends of the corner support feet 9, 10 are connected by an arcuate support tube 11 which runs parallel to the circular arc 4 of the corner worktop 3. The ends of the support tube 11 are open as insertion openings 12, 13. Approximately below the middle of the connection sides, a further two support legs 14, 15 run vertically downward and are connected to the bracket 8 on the bottom side. The support feet 14, 15 have on their top by a further support tube 16 connection, which extends in an arc towards the tip of the corner worktop 3 and supports this part of the corner worktop. The corner support feet 9 and 10 as well as the bracket 8 and the support feet 14, 15 and the support tube 16 are preferably bent from a metallic tube piece and welded to the base frame 2 shown. However, the base frame 2 could also be constructed from plastic or wood and from non-tubular parts.

Das dargestellte Untergestell 2 ist eine stabile Konstruktion mit guter Standfestigkeit, die die Eckarbeitsplatte 3 in ihren Randbereichen gut abstützt und durch die weiter unten näher beschriebenen Einstecköffnungen 12, 13 eine zweckmässige Halterung für weiter anzubauende Arbeitsplatten schafft. Es wäre auch denkbar, anstatt der Stützfüsse 14, 15 nur einen Stützfuss am Scheitel des Bügels 8 etwa unter dem Viertelkreis 7 vorzusehen. Dadurch würde aber die vorteilhaft grosse Fussfreiheit, die für einen Benutzer des Eckarbeitstisches von der Kreisbogenseite her besteht, dadurch weitgehend wieder zunichte gemacht, dass in Richtung der ausgestreckten Füsse ein Stützfuss liegen würde. Durch die gezeigte Anordnung der Stützfüsse 14, 15 besteht die Möglichkeit für einen Benutzer, die Beine dazwischen ohne Behinderung auch über den Bügel 8 hinweg auszustrecken. Auch ein Benutzer von der Innenseite her kann die Beine zwischen den Stützfüssen 14, 15 ohne Behinderung durch einen Fuss an der spitzen Seite der Eckarbeitsplatte ausstrecken. Damit sind die meist sehr unbequemen Eckplätze an L- oder U-förmigen Konferenztischanordnungen wesentlich erträglicher gemacht und unterscheiden sich in ihrem Komfort kaum von Plätzen an anschliessenden geraden Arbeitsplatten.The base 2 shown is a stable construction with good stability, which supports the corner worktop 3 well in its edge areas and creates a suitable holder for worktops to be built in further through the insertion openings 12, 13 described in more detail below. It would also be conceivable to provide only one support foot at the apex of the bracket 8, approximately under the quarter circle 7, instead of the support feet 14, 15. However, this would largely nullify the advantageously large legroom that exists for a user of the corner work table from the side of the circular arc, in that a support leg would lie in the direction of the extended legs. The arrangement of the support feet 14, 15 shown enables the user to extend the legs in between without any hindrance even over the bracket 8. Even a user from the inside can stretch the legs between the support feet 14, 15 without hindrance by a foot on the tip side of the corner worktop. This makes the mostly very uncomfortable corner places on L- or U-shaped conference table arrangements much more bearable and their comfort hardly differs from places on subsequent straight worktops.

Einen hohen Anteil an der Stabilität des Ecktisches 1 übernimmt die Eckarbeitsplatte 3, nach deren Befestigung an den Trägerrohren 11 und 16, so dass es nicht erforderlich ist, den teilweisen Rahmen unter der Eckarbeitsplatte 3 bestehend aus den Trägerrohren 11 und 16 zu schliessen. Dadurch kann das Untergestell 2 sehr einfach und preisgünstig durch Biegen und Verschweissen von drei Rundrohrabschnitten hergestellt werden.A large proportion of the stability of the corner table 1 is taken over by the corner worktop 3 after it has been fastened to the support tubes 11 and 16, so that it is not necessary to close the partial frame under the corner worktop 3 comprising the support tubes 11 and 16. As a result, the base frame 2 can be produced very easily and inexpensively by bending and welding three round tube sections.

In Fig. 2 ist das Untergestell 2 mit aufgesetzter Eckarbeitsplatte 3 und an den Anschlussseiten 5, 6 angebauten geraden Arbeitsplatten 17, 18 gezeigt. Die Arbeitsplatte 18 ist dabei eben, d. h. ohne Absatz an die Eckarbeitsplatte 3 angesetzt, während die Arbeitsplatte 17 im Vergleich zur Eckarbeitsplatte 3 in einer abgesenkten Stellung angebaut ist. Die Absenkung ist insbesondere für einen Schreibmaschinenplatz, der gegenüber der üblichen Arbeitstischhöhe tiefer liegt, vorgesehen. Die Verbindung und Befestigung unter den Arbeitsplatten ist in Fig. dargestellt und wird weiter unten näher erläutert.2 shows the base frame 2 with the corner worktop 3 attached and straight worktops 17, 18 attached to the connection sides 5, 6. The worktop 18 is flat, i. H. attached to the corner worktop 3 without heel, while the worktop 17 is installed in a lowered position compared to the corner worktop 3. The lowering is particularly intended for a typewriter space that is lower than the usual work table height. The connection and attachment under the worktops is shown in Fig. And will be explained in more detail below.

In Fig. 3 ist ein runder Arbeitstisch dargestellt, der aus zwei Eckarbeitstischen 19, 20 und zwei Eckarbeitsplatten 21, 22 zusammengesetzt ist. Die Eckarbeitsplatten 21, 22 sind dabei an den Eckarbeitstischen 19, 20 befestigt und werden dadurch von den beiden Untergestellen unter den Eckarbeitstischen 19, 20 abgestützt. Es sind natürlich auch Anordnungen mit 4 Untergestellen oder auch 3/4-Kreisanordnungen, z.B. zu einem Säulenumbau, möglich.In Fig. 3, a round work table is shown, which is composed of two corner work tables 19, 20 and two corner worktops 21, 22. The corner worktops 21, 22 are fastened to the corner worktables 19, 20 and are thereby supported by the two base frames under the corner worktables 19, 20. Of course, there are also arrangements with 4 bases or 3/4-circle arrangements, e.g. to a column conversion, possible.

Fig. 4 zeigt die Randausbildung der Eckarbeitsplatte 3 und ihre Befestigung an dem Untergestell 2 bzw. den Trägerrohren 11, 16. Die Eckarbeitsplatte 3 ist an ihrem Aussenrand 23 im Bereich des Kreisbogenabschnitts 4 in einer Art Randleiste so weit nach unten gezogen, dass das Trägerrohr 11, das durch eine Haltelasche 25 gehalten ist, verdeckt ist. Vorteilhaft wird dadurch auch erreicht, dass ein Benutzer des Eckarbeitstisches 1 von dieser Aussenrandseite 23 her keinen Metallkontakt mit dem Trägerrohr 11 oder der Haltelasche 23 bekommt.Fig. 4 shows the edge formation of the corner worktop 3 and its attachment to the base frame 2 or the support tubes 11, 16. The corner worktop 3 is pulled down on its outer edge 23 in the region of the arc section 4 in a kind of edge strip so far that the support tube 11, which is held by a retaining tab 25, is covered. It is also advantageously achieved that a user of the corner work table 1 does not have any metal contact with the carrier tube 11 or the holding tab 23 from this outer edge side 23.

Das Trägerrohr 11 ist mit Hilfe von Schrauben 26 von unten her an die Eckarbeitsplatte 3 geschraubt, wobei als Distanzstück eine der Rohrform angepasste Beilagscheibe 27 zwischen die Eckarbeitsplatte 3 und das Trägerrohr 11 eingefügt ist. Die Beilagscheibe 27 dient dazu, das Trägerrohr 11 in eine Höhenposition zu bringen, die die positionsrichtige Einführung in ein Hutprofil (siehe Fig. 7) an der eben anschliessenden Arbeitsplatte 18 erlaubt.The support tube 11 is screwed from below to the corner worktop 3 with the aid of screws 26, a washer 27 adapted to the tube shape being inserted between the corner worktop 3 and the support tube 11 as a spacer. The washer 27 serves to bring the support tube 11 into a height position, which allows the correct insertion into a hat profile (see FIG. 7) on the countertop 18 just adjoining it.

Durch die Haltelasche 25 wird das Trägerrohr 11 zur Randleiste 24 hin abgestützt und zugleich wird die Haltelasche an der zur Eckarbeitsplatte 3 hinweisenden Seite verlängert und an ihrem Ende aufgebogen. Zwischen dieser Verlängerung 28 und der Unterseite der Eckarbeitsplatte 3 ist ein Moosgummistück 29 eingesetzt, das diesen Raum ausfüllt. Zwischen der Oberseite des Moosgummistücks 29 und der Unterseite der Eckarbeitsplatte 3 können Elektrokabel 30 eingeklemmt werden. Dadurch wird bei der Elektrifizierung eines Eckarbeitstisches oder einer Tischgruppe eine saubere, den Fussraum nicht behindernde Kabelführung unter der Eckarbeitsplatte 3 erreicht.The support tube 11 is supported towards the edge strip 24 by the holding tab 25 and at the same time the holding tab is extended on the side facing the corner worktop 3 and bent up at its end. A foam rubber piece 29 is inserted between this extension 28 and the underside of the corner worktop 3, which fills this space. Electrical cables 30 can be inserted between the top of the foam rubber piece 29 and the underside of the corner worktop 3 get stuck. As a result, a clean cable routing, which does not obstruct the footwell, is achieved under the corner worktop 3 when electrifying a corner worktable or a table group.

Die in Fig. 5 gezeigte Anordnung entspricht der in Fig. 2, wobei (gedanklich) die Arbeitsplatten abgehoben und nur strichliert gezeichnet sind, so dass die Befestigungsmittel und die Art der Befestigung zwischen den Arbeitsplatten zu erkennen ist.The arrangement shown in FIG. 5 corresponds to that in FIG. 2, the (worktop) being lifted off and only drawn in broken lines, so that the fastening means and the type of fastening between the worktops can be seen.

Zuerst soll die ebene Verbindung zwischen der Eckarbeitsplatte 3 und der nach rechts anschliessenden Arbeitsplatte 18 erläutert werden. Die Arbeitsplatte 18 trägt an ihren beiden Längsseiten nach unten offene Hutprofile 31, 32. Die beiden Hutprofile 31, 32 dienen dann, wenn die Arbeitsplatte 18 nicht an einen Eckarbeitstisch 1 angeschlossen wird, zur Einführung und Halterung von Fussgestellen, so dass die Arbeitsplatte 18 im Rahmen eines gesamten Möbelsystems als selbständiger Tisch verwendet werden kann. Im gezeigten Fall wird zur Befestigung mit dem Eckarbeitstisch 1 lediglich das Hutprofil 32 verwendet, in das ein Trägerrohrstück 33 eingesetzt und mit Hilfe (nicht gezeigter) Haltelaschen in dem Hutprofil 32 festgeklemmt ist. Die andere Seite des Trägerrohrstücks 33 ist in die Einstecköffnung 13 des Trägerrohrs 11 eingeführt, so dass hier eine stabile, tragende Verbindung hergestellt ist. Zwischen den Hutprofilen 31, 32 verläuft eine Winkelschiene 34, die von unten her an die Arbeitsplatte 18 geschraubt ist und mit dieser an der Querseite bündig abschliesst. Diese Winkelschiene 34 ist mit Befestigungsbohrungen 35 versehen. An den Anschlussseiten 5, 6 der Eckarbeitsplatte 3 sind ebenfalls, der Übersichtlichkeit wegen hier nur an der Anschlussseite 6 strichliert dargestellt, Winkelschienen vorhanden, deren vertikale Schenkel mit den Anschlussseiten 5, 6 ebenfalls bündig abschliessen (der in Fig.4 gezeigte Schnitt ist zur Mitte der Eckarbeitsplatte zu hinter einer Winkelschiene geführt, so dass diese nicht zu sehen ist). Wenn die Eckarbeitsplatte 3 und die Arbeitsplatte 18 aneinandergesetzt sind, liegen somit die beiden Winkelschienen mit ihren vertikalen Schenkeln so aneinander, dass die Befestigungsbohrungen 35 fluchten. Die beiden Winkelschienen können somit einfach miteinander verschraubt werden, wodurch in Verbindung mit der Trägerrohrstückverbindung 33 eine nahezu fugenlose, stabile und dauerhafte Verbindung zwischen der Eckarbeitsplatte 3 und der Arbeitsplatte 18 hergestellt ist. An der Unterseite der Arbeitsplatte 18 sind entlang der Hutprofile 31, 32 ebenfalls Haltelaschen mit eingebrachten Moosgummistücken zur Kabelführung angeordnet. Zur Durchführung der Kabel durch die Winkelschienen 34 sind in den seitlichen Bereichen dieser Schienen Aussparungen 36, 37 vorgesehen, so dass die Kabel bequem unter den Arbeitsplatten weitergeführt werden können. Die Anordnung der Moosgummistücke entlang des Trägerrohrs 11 ist in Fig.5 mit drei Moosgummistücken 38 veranschaulicht.First, the flat connection between the corner worktop 3 and the worktop 18 adjoining to the right will be explained. The worktop 18 carries on both longitudinal sides open hat profiles 31, 32. The two hat profiles 31, 32 are used when the worktop 18 is not connected to a corner worktable 1 for the insertion and holding of foot frames, so that the worktop 18 in Framework of an entire furniture system can be used as an independent table. In the case shown, only the hat profile 32 is used for attachment to the corner work table 1, into which a support tube piece 33 is inserted and is clamped in the hat profile 32 with the aid of retaining tabs (not shown). The other side of the support tube piece 33 is inserted into the insertion opening 13 of the support tube 11, so that a stable, load-bearing connection is established here. An angle rail 34 runs between the hat profiles 31, 32, which is screwed from below to the worktop 18 and is flush with this on the transverse side. This angle rail 34 is provided with mounting holes 35. On the connection sides 5, 6 of the corner worktop 3 there are also, for the sake of clarity only shown in dashed lines on the connection side 6, angular rails, the vertical legs of which are also flush with the connection sides 5, 6 (the section shown in FIG. 4 is in the middle of the corner worktop behind an angle rail so that it cannot be seen). If the corner worktop 3 and the worktop 18 are placed next to one another, the two angle rails lie with their vertical legs against one another in such a way that the fastening bores 35 are aligned. The two angle rails can thus simply be screwed together, as a result of which an almost seamless, stable and permanent connection between the corner worktop 3 and the worktop 18 is produced in connection with the support tube piece connection 33. On the underside of the worktop 18 there are also holding tabs with inserted foam rubber pieces for cable routing along the hat profiles 31, 32. For the passage of the cables through the angle rails 34, cutouts 36, 37 are provided in the lateral areas of these rails, so that the cables can easily be passed under the worktops. The arrangement of the foam rubber pieces along the carrier tube 11 is illustrated in FIG. 5 with three foam rubber pieces 38.

Die Verbindung zwischen der Eckarbeitsplatte 3 und der abgesenkten Arbeitsplatte 17 wird durch eine vertikal stehende Tragplatte 39 mit aufgesetzten horizontalen Tragarmen 40, 41 hergestellt. Der Tragarm 41 ist in die Einstecköffnung 12 des Trägerrohrs 11 eingeführt, während der Tragarm 40 in ein Hutprofil 42 an der Unterseite der Arbeitsplatte 17 eingesteckt ist. Ein weiterer Trägerarm 43 (siehe Fig. 7 in Fig. 5 verdeckt) ist in ein Hutprofil 44 eingesteckt und dort durch eine Klemmhalterung befestigt. Die Verbindung zu der Arbeitsplatte 17 wird somit durch die an der Arbeitsplatte 17 festgeklemmten Trägerarme 40, 43 hergestellt. Die Verbindung zu der Eckplatte 3 bzw. dem Eckarbeitstisch 1 wird einmal durch den Tragarm 41 hergestellt und zusätzlich wird die Tragplatte 39 zur Spitze der Eckarbeitsplatte 3 hin mit der (hier nicht dargestellten) Winkelschiene der Eckarbeitsplatte 3 verschraubt.The connection between the corner worktop 3 and the lowered worktop 17 is established by a vertically standing support plate 39 with horizontal support arms 40, 41 attached. The support arm 41 is inserted into the insertion opening 12 of the support tube 11, while the support arm 40 is inserted into a hat profile 42 on the underside of the worktop 17. Another support arm 43 (see FIG. 7 hidden in FIG. 5) is inserted into a hat profile 44 and fastened there by a clamp holder. The connection to the worktop 17 is thus established by the support arms 40, 43 clamped onto the worktop 17. The connection to the corner plate 3 or the corner worktable 1 is established once by the support arm 41 and in addition the support plate 39 is screwed towards the tip of the corner worktop 3 with the angle rail (not shown here) of the corner worktop 3.

In Fig. 6 ist die Tragplatte 39 mit den daran befestigten Tragarmen 40, 41 nochmals im Schnitt gezeigt. Der vertikale Versatz dieser beiden Tragarme 40, 41 entspricht der Höhe der Absenkung der Arbeitsplatte 17 gegenüber der Eckarbeitsplatte 3.6, the support plate 39 with the support arms 40, 41 attached to it is shown again in section. The vertical offset of these two support arms 40, 41 corresponds to the height of the lowering of the worktop 17 with respect to the corner worktop 3.

Fig. 7 zeigt eine schematisierte Schnittdarstellung entlang der Linie A-A aus Fig. 5. An der Trageplatte 39 sind wiederum die aus derZeichenebene ragenden Trägerarme 40, 43 angebracht. Diese Trägerarme 40,43 ragen in die geschnittenen Hutprofile 44 und 42 an der Arbeitsplatte 17, (die zur besseren Übersichtlichkeit weggelassen wurde). Die Trägerarme 40, 43 sind in den Hutprofilen 42, 44 durch mit diesen verschraubte Haltelaschen 45, 46 gehalten und eingeklemmt. Zwischen den Hutprofilen 42, 44 ist strichliert die randseitige Winkelschiene 47 der Arbeitsplatte 17 dargestellt.FIG. 7 shows a schematic sectional illustration along the line A-A from FIG. 5. The support arms 40, 43 protruding from the plane of the drawing are in turn attached to the support plate 39. These support arms 40, 43 protrude into the cut hat profiles 44 and 42 on the worktop 17 (which has been omitted for clarity). The support arms 40, 43 are held and clamped in the hat profiles 42, 44 by holding tabs 45, 46 screwed to them. Between the hat profiles 42, 44, the edge-side angle rail 47 of the worktop 17 is shown in dashed lines.

Darüber ist die Verbindung zu dem Eckarbeitstisch strichliert angedeutet. Der Trägerarm 41 steckt dabei in der Einstecköffnung 12 des Trägerrohrs 11, wobei die andere Seite der Trageplatte 39 mit Hilfe einer Verschraubung 48 an der strichliert angedeuteten Winkelschiene 47 der Eckarbeitsplatte 3 befestigt ist.The connection to the corner worktable is indicated by dashed lines. The support arm 41 is inserted in the insertion opening 12 of the support tube 11, the other side of the support plate 39 being fastened to the angle bar 47 of the corner worktop 3 by means of a screw connection 48.

In Fig. 8 ist nochmals die ebene Verbindung zwischen der Eckarbeitsplatte 3 und der Arbeitsplatte 18 dargestellt, wobei die Anordnung der Winkelschiene 34 und einer randseitigen Winkelschiene 50 an der Eckarbeitsplatte 3 mit einer Verschraubung 51 unter Weglassung der übrigen Befestigungsteile im Schnitt herausgestellt wurde.In Fig. 8, the flat connection between the corner worktop 3 and the worktop 18 is shown again, the arrangement of the angle rail 34 and an edge-side angle rail 50 on the corner worktop 3 with a screw connection 51 having been omitted in section, omitting the other fastening parts.

Es wurde ein Eckarbeitstisch aufgezeigt, der bei einfacher Herstellung eine gute Stabilität und Standfestigkeit aufweist, durch die Art der Unterkonstruktion eine grosse Fussfreiheit gewährleistet und der als Bauelement für die Aufrüstung zu L- und U-förmigen Tischkonstruktionen durch die beschriebenen einfachen und schnell durchzuführenden Befestigungen gut geeignet ist.A corner work table was shown, which, with simple manufacture, has good stability and stability, ensures a large amount of legroom due to the type of substructure and which is good as a component for upgrading to L- and U-shaped table constructions due to the simple and quick fixings described suitable is.
