Description

The invention relates to a table, in particular a row conference table, with a support structure and at least one table top part, the support structure having floor support elements and forming receiving spaces for cables and / or electrical and electronic devices.

There are a variety of table constructions with a wide variety of support structures. In the normal supporting structure, legs are usually arranged under the table top with the help of frames. C-frames are also possible as frame parts. In most frames, the individual sides of the table are supported either by two feet or by C-shaped frames. However, one also knows cross feet and various differently designed support frames.

In view of the increasing use of electrical devices, there has been a need for suitable accommodation of supply lines and connecting lines for a long time. Frame parts have already been used to accommodate such lines.

From DE-OS 21 60 220 a work table with in-table electrical supply lines is known, in which a. Parallel to the user edge and extending over the entire length of the table top and open top covered channel-shaped rail is provided for receiving the electrical lines, the top of which or cover lies in or approximately in the plane of the table top. The trough-shaped rail is fixed to the side. cheeks of the table connected, which in turn are connected at their lower ends by a carrier running parallel to the channel. The side cheeks can have full-length cavities that are connected to the cavity of the channel-shaped rail. The cover of the channel-shaped rail can be a support plate for devices such. B. Form telephones. The cheeks can be C-shaped or I-shaped. There is clearly a support for each side by a system that is capable of carrying itself, the support systems of each side being connected by several links, namely the channel and a lower support. The channel has only one cavity in which the cables or lines are inserted. A table system, which The integration of a variety of cables and electrical devices in a support system to be provided with multifaceted feet is not provided here.

A work table with an air conditioning module according to DE-OS 31 45 774 is similarly constructed and also has an upwardly open cavity which runs between table top parts, but which is not designed to accommodate a large number of lines and as a main supporting element.

DE-GM 80 03.714 shows a work table for office equipment with a table frame made of a crossmember rail, above which a table top is arranged and of table legs arranged at the ends of the crossmember rail. In this case, a cable duct parallel to the user edge and at a distance from it is provided for receiving the lines of office equipment standing on the table top. Cable ducts are also provided in the vertical columns of the cheek-like bases. The crossmember rail is provided on the sides running transversely to the user edge with extension arms for holding the table top and connected to the vertical "cheek-like support feet. The cable duct parallel to the user edge with its upper opening is attached to the crossmember rail as an additional component and stands with the cable compartments In addition to the small-volume crossmember rail, the cable ducts dimensioned for cable reception are formed and covered with hoods and caps. They do not take part in the actual, load-bearing structure of the table.

From DE-GM 83 25 714 a work desk is known which has plates carried by a base. The plates are in several parts. They are a horizontal plate supported by arms projecting forward in the area of the hollow base and two on either side of the opening of the base arranged, sloping desk-like storage areas provided. Between these, a receiving space with a covering roller shutter is created in the base. A connection profile is arranged between the horizontal plate part and the base and the storage surfaces, the size of which corresponds to the thickness of the plates. It is also designed as a cable duct. Individual cables for electrical devices standing on the table surface can extend through it. Here, too, the cable duct is not part of the actual supporting structure, but only a connecting link, because it would be far too weak for the supporting function.

In today's working life, however, a wide variety of electrical devices are required, which are to be supplied with different supply voltages and which have to record and emit a wide variety of input and output signals. It is often necessary to ensure that the fields surrounding the devices and cables do not influence one another and transmit incorrect signals or falsify the signals. Accordingly, it is customary to use them in accordance with the rules of EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) according to their function in different channels, which are separated by partitions and / or shields. Such separate channels are widely known in floors, ceilings as baseboards or wall strips. However, they do not have a supporting function for the building or. its parts. They have also not been used on tables as supporting elements but only as receiving and holding elements for the lines and, if applicable, device parts. The applicant has already proposed in practical demonstrations to combine the electrical devices that are required at conference tables, to accommodate them at table height and to route the cables accordingly at the tables. This concept, which is dealt with in the unpublished patent application P 34 03 345, provides for the use of normal tables which are provided either with cutouts or with side tables.

The increasing use of electrical devices of all kinds has created the need for a suitable table concept. The invention has for its object to enable the integration of a wide variety of electrical devices and their lines in a table taking into account the rules of EMC and optimizing the manufacturing and use conditions in an integral concept for variable design.

According to the invention, it is provided that the support structure has a support tube that extends parallel to the user side and is at least partially open or open at the top, divided into sub-spaces, resistant to bending and twisting, and has a large volume, preferably a metal support tube, alongside whose upper opening a tabletop part is connected on at least one side , which is supported up to the area of the user edge, rotatably connected to the support tube plate support parts and wherein the floor support elements are connected either in the middle or in end areas or intermediate areas with respect to the longitudinal direction of the support tube.

The basic idea of the invention is therefore to create an integrating element which, on the one hand, is sufficiently large to accommodate the functional elements of use, such as electrical appliances, but also files, briefcases, ashtrays, glasses, drinks bottles and the like, and the associated lines, which, however on the other hand, it is an integral part of the support structure for variably designed tables, whereby one can connect a wide variety of base frames and a wide variety of panels without changing the basic elements of the support and receiving structure. This is made possible by a large-volume, preferably metal support tube, which is divided into several sub-rooms. The partitions of the subdivisions automatically result in stabilizations that allow the table to be supported in accordance with the respective requirements and also lined up in a suitable manner so that lines can be passed through. Such a stable support tube can therefore be supported either with respect to its longitudinal extent in the middle as well as at the end or in any intermediate areas on the floor or on adjacent tables. Support devices are provided for supporting the table top parts, which are not supported directly or via special connecting links on the floor support elements. Rather, the plate support parts are supported on the support tube. Such a support tube can be designed formally and in terms of production in a particularly appealing and useful manner and enables sensible series production, warehousing, inexpensive transport and inexpensive assembly options at the place of use.

The plate support parts can be designed in different ways. It is important that they are not connected directly to the floor support elements, but to the support tube and that the forces that occur are transmitted to the support tube even when the table top or its parts are subjected to great loads. For this purpose they can, for example, as a support leg, such as. B. be formed by parts of the tube inserted rectangular tubes. A particularly adapted to the basic concept of the table and the use requirements with cable bushings' in row tables design provides that the plate support parts contain the end faces of table top parts and support tube flat parts which essentially follow the profile of the table top and support tube. This results in a larger flat part area in the middle, which can be used for non-rotatable attachment to the support tube. Boom arms adjoin it, which support the table tops, preferably via further auxiliary devices. The Plate support parts are then screwed and / or riveted and / or welded, inserted or glued onto the end of the support tube and on the support elements of the table tops.

The plate support parts expediently contain hollow profile parts running under the plates, such as a plate support profile and a rectangular tube element, which are attached to cantilever arms. They can be designed into a framework that is firmly connected to the support tube, into which or on which the table top parts are inserted or placed. This results in a stable support structure for the table top and all built-in parts together with the support tube, which can be separated from the base frame for transport and supported with appropriate floor support parts on the floor or on adjacent tables according to the respective requirements.

For production, assembly and an appealing external appearance, it is expedient if the longitudinal support parts of the table top parts are designed as aluminum profile parts which are open at the bottom and into which an iron support tube, preferably a rectangular tube element, is inserted. Such aluminum profiles can be manufactured inexpensively and designed so. that they serve multiple functions. In this case, a plate support profile part can be provided in the edge area which, as an aluminum extrusion profile, forms a U which is open at the bottom with a receiving space, has a support shoulder for the table top part and an opening edge leg and a groove leg projecting into the table edge part. In this way, the connection between the table edge part and the table top can be released together with its support and individual elements can be put together according to the customer's wishes.

To fasten the different parts of the supporting structure to one another and, if necessary, to attach internals or the like, partial cylindrical grooves with the cross-section of the core diameter of fastening screws are expediently formed in the aluminum profile parts, preferably in corners or at leg ends. These partial cylinder grooves are open at the front during cross cutting and can therefore be used to screw in the screws through front covers, but inside, if necessary, also for transverse screwing in of self-tapping screws. The partial cylinder grooves are designed in their surrounding walls, taking into account appropriate material cross-sections, so that they are not too elastic, but allow the screwing in of self-tapping screws well. Such partial cylinder grooves can also be molded onto other extruded profiles of the supporting structure.

The support tube serves several purposes and must be designed in accordance with and in line with the entire table concept. It is expediently delimited outside by flat surfaces, above all for production reasons. However, it can also be completely or partially delimited by externally curved surfaces, such as partial cylinder surfaces or surfaces shaped according to other curves. It is important that the support tube is designed so that the user's knee area is not obstructed. This can be made possible, in particular, by bevels or inclinations from the corner between the tabletop underfloor and the attachment of the support tube, facing away from the user bounding surfaces.

The support tube can expediently from several, for. T. closed support tube hollow profile parts are formed. Then partition walls that are stably connected to the other walls are automatically created, which give the bending strength urid_twist resistance at low wall thicknesses benefit. Corresponding openings can enable cables and lines to be inserted and removed. The support tube can consist of a large-volume main support element, for example a square tube, and others. Outside and boundary walls forming profile parts can be composed. These profile parts can be open towards the inside of the support tube, so that it is easier to make installations. The cohesion is then already formed by the large-volume main support element. The profile parts can expediently be designed as extruded profiles and have an angular cross section with a boundary wall delimiting the receiving space. On the one hand, a good connection with the main support element is possible, on the other hand, the further outer surface of the support tube is formed and finally the receiving space is limited in the area of the table tops, so that connections can be made here. The support tube can have longitudinal dividing walls on the inside, which run horizontally, vertically or at an incline, so that the most diverse, corresponding to the respective receiving spaces can be formed. It is also possible to provide at least one further, largely closed tube in the interior of the support tube. Thus, a substantial part of the supporting structure can be moved into the interior of the supporting tube, and it is easier to get to the other receiving spaces or parts of the receiving space from the outside in order to carry out or carry out fixings. In a particularly advantageous embodiment, the support tube can consist of a square tube placed on the tip and two attached aluminum angle profile parts, to which the boundary walls for the receiving space adjoin. Such angle profiles can also be produced inexpensively with relatively small tools, while the square tube is available everywhere as a semi-finished product. The support tube can have two opposing, in the middle connected, the same angle profile parts have with the receiving space delimiting boundary walls, on the outside of which a U-shaped support profile with support shoulder for the tabletop part and downwardly open, U-shaped walls formed receiving space for connecting elements or support tubes is pnformed. A large number of functional parts are thus inexpensively formed in one step in continuous casting. In addition, open T-slots for fastenings can be provided in the outer surfaces of the support tube. No holes need to be drilled during assembly, but nuts or slot nuts can be inserted into the T-slots for fastening. In this case, at least two T-slots can be provided for each side surface, with at least one T-slot running horizontally in the plane of the groove being expediently provided in the case of inclined side surfaces, in order to enable vertical fastenings as well.

Inside, too, it is advisable to provide fastening grooves into which fastening screws of devices and built-in parts can be screwed. Such grooves can be easily formed in the extrusion process and lead to the fact that individual holes are omitted and assembly is simplified and subsequent equipping is easily possible.

The profile parts can also be designed in such a way that it receives an inner cover which is assigned to it and whose joint leg end engages in a cover groove formed in the profile. Then no additional joint or holding parts need to be attached. The lid and the aluminum support tube part could have mutually assigned latching and locking means for the jammed holding of the lid in its end position. Then there are no further fastening elements to be provided during assembly and thus complex work steps.

The covers and corresponding partial areas can be provided with longitudinal grooves in order to create an attractive surface even when used for a long time.

A wide variety of feet can be considered for the floor support, which can be attached to the support tube at any point.

A particularly appealing construction, which is favorable for aligning and accommodating further elements, provides for the floor support elements to have a support column, the support part of which is connected to the support tube in an alignable manner. The supporting part in turn can be connected to the frame structure of a footplate so that it can be aligned. So all three parts can be aligned with each other according to the unevenness at the place of use so that the foot plates are flush with each other and the table tops are flush with one another. The support and alignment elements can have alignment screws in several planes. An advantageous and solid connection provides as a connecting element on the support tube a lug which is fastened with screws in the mounting slots of the support part so as to be height-adjustable. Then you can easily make a height adjustment of a few centimeters according to customer requirements.

You can also provide a hinge element between the support column and support tube, which allows the inclination of the table top at different operating angles. Since the plate has a solid support structure, the joint need not be provided on two foot frames, but can be formed on a central support column.

The floor support elements can be equipped with a foot plate which extends over the entire length of the table and against which the foot plates of the neighboring tables are attached have it connected appropriately. So you can also run cables in the foot area and set up the entire table system for conference tables well assembled. Cavities can be formed in the foot plates, into which actuating elements for control processes are embedded. This can be especially for work tables, dictation machines, security call systems or the like. be appropriate. The support column can also have receptacles for monitors and / or loudspeakers which are integrated in the cladding. As a result of its corresponding size for the support, it offers favorable space for this and allows good cable routing. The support column can also be embedded directly in the floor or have a flange plate for floor mounting. The foot plates can be covered or clad with material that is pleasant to the feet and can be designed to be inclined towards the user.

The floor support elements can also be formed by cheeks, which are to be designed in various conventional ways. Receiving slots for knee panels can be provided both in support columns and in cheeks.

The cheeks expediently consist of two cheek plates, which receive the fastening means between them and, if appropriate, form cable lead-through spaces. The fastening means of the cheeks expediently have a fastening leg and flange plates adapted to the shape of the support tube, by means of which they are connected to the support tube by means of fastening elements engaging in the T-slots. A flange plate can be arranged centrally over a cheek and attached to two adjacent tables for common support with a cheek.

The cheeks can expediently have a trapezoidal shape with a vertical edge facing away from the user side and have an inclined boundary edge running from the corner between the support tube and the table top to a floor support point, wherein the support point can be set back with respect to the user edge.

Downstairs receiving spaces for cables in the support tube are expediently closed by cover plates or lids, which together form a level of a large, upwardly open receiving space for flat files, headphones, electrical or electronic devices and the like.

The sensitive electrical devices and electronic devices are expediently accommodated in removable and or closable inserts which can also be fastened in an articulated or pivotable manner. The entire insert can be articulated on a table of the type described above or on a completely different table and can carry a side wall or desk wall which can be swiveled out laterally as a desk surface and which has the operating and display elements which can be swung back under the boundary edge of the insert are. Such an inventive design adapts well to the overall table concept and permits the protection of the valuable devices when not in use, during maintenance and the like. Closure means and automatic actuating means can also be provided. The insert can be composed of aluminum profile parts which can be shaped according to the shape and the description given below. The insert can be provided with remotely operated swiveling and lifting devices and, if necessary, locking means. Because of the risk of mutual interference of valuable devices, the partition walls of the support tube can be formed at least in part from low-frequency electrical field components and possibly magnetic field components and materials shielding high-frequency fields. Further features, configurations, advantages and aspects of the invention are also dealt with in the following description given on the basis of the figures.

1 shows the basic structure of a table 20, which can be designed and used in particular as a conference table or work table. It has a support structure 21 and table top parts 22.1 and 22.2.

The support structure 21 has floor support elements 23, which in this embodiment consist of a support column 24 and a base plate 25. The support column 24 carries a support tube 26. This is the most important component of the support structure and the entire table concept.

The support tube 26 runs parallel to the user edge 27 of the table top part 22.1 and has a large volume with receiving spaces 28. The upper opening 29 is delimited at the level of the table top parts 22. In this exemplary embodiment, the support tube 26 or its receiving space 28 are divided into part spaces 28.1 and 28.2 by a partition 30. Further subdivisions are covered below. The partitioning with partitions 30 serves several purposes. On the one hand, partition walls are good stabilizing elements for the large-volume, preferably metal support tube that is to be designed to be rigid and torsion-resistant. Accordingly, they can be designed according to the dimensions and loads. Another essential function, however, is to create different recording spaces for different purposes, namely on the one hand to accommodate objects that are not on the table or should also be locked, such as headphones, documents, files, or that should be in a certain place, such as drinks, drinking vessels and ashtrays, especially for many electrical or electronic ones Devices and their auxiliary devices, such as switching and display elements. These should be ergonomically located in the field of vision and grip, but should be protected when not in use and especially during care and maintenance and possibly kept inaccessible, but should be quickly available for use. After all, there are spaces for connection elements. and above all to create for the lines and possibly transformers. With regard to the risk of mutual interference of electrical and electronic systems by the fields surrounding the lines and devices, it is especially necessary for sensitive electronic devices to shield them from the fields of the transformers, chokes and the like, for which purpose suitable ones also influence the magnetic field portion Shields may be necessary. The shields can be formed in a large-volume support structure by ferromagnetic, but sometimes also non-ferromagnetic, metals, so that the electrical components of the NF fields can be easily dissipated by grounding via the conductive surfaces or overall structures, while by appropriate material selection and design the Magnetic field components can be reduced to a non-disturbing rest and / or rendered ineffective by a suitable distance. RF fields can also be shielded quite well. This important task today can be achieved by using suitable partition walls in large-volume structures if the basic concept offers sufficient possibilities. This task is included in the overall table concept and its supporting structure and solved in a simple, advantageous manner.

2 to 14 show an embodiment in more detail. It can be seen that the support tube 26 or its receiving space 28 is designed divided. The basic structure is that of a pentagon standing on the top, which has two triangular walls 26.1 and 26.2 standing at 90 ° to each other and at 45 ° to the vertical or horizontal, as well as two perpendicular boundary walls 26.3 and 26.4 reaching to the table surface 22.3, while the upper pentagonal edge 29.1 can only be seen in the end regions or is formed by lids. The support tube 26 is formed here, for example, more for manufacturing reasons than for functional reasons from an iron tube 26.5 which is square in profile and two aluminum support tube parts 26.6 which have the same profile but are mounted in mirror image, and which are held together by a U-shaped holding profile 33. The parts of the Support tube 26 are connected to one another in a suitable manner by engagement elements, clamps, screws and / or rivets, but can also be formed from a uniform extruded profile.

This results in a lower cable space 28.3 in the square tube 26.5, while two cable and device spaces 28.4 and 28.5 are formed in the aluminum support tube parts 26.6, which are separated from the upper, initially continuous device and object storage space by separately inserted covers 34.1 and 34.2 28.1 are separated. The covers 34.1 and 34.2 also suitably consist of metal, preferably aluminum, and then exert a good shielding effect. As can be seen, different cable receptacles are created, with rooms 28.3, 28.4 and 28.5, so that the lines for low voltage from the supply network, for example 220 volts, can be accommodated in one and in the other extra-low voltage lines, as a result of which they are shielded from one another. Signal and control lines can also be routed separately from microphone lines and the like. As can be seen, the rooms are also large enough to accommodate connection elements, such as sockets and the like, in their walls and to protrude into the rooms without the line routing being obstructed.

The support structure 21 further comprises plate support parts 35, which are connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the support tube 26 and support the table top parts 22.

The plate support parts 35 are designed as flat sheet metal parts made of sheet steel or aluminum and are designed to cover the supporting tube and the table tops so that they have two cantilever arms 35.1 and 35.2 in table top thickness, to which a lower supporting tube cover part 35.3 is connected. In the latter - as can be seen from FIG. 3 - through openings 36 are provided or pre-punched for breaking out, through which access to the cable spaces 28.3 to 28.5 is provided for the frontal passage of lines when tables are lined up.

The plate support parts are screwed at the locations shown in FIG. 3 with screws 37 to the aluminum support tube parts 26.6 and a further, front plate support part 38. For this purpose, the aluminum profiles have partial cylinder grooves 39 (FIGS. 6, 8, 9) along their entire length, which correspond to the core diameter of the screws, so that self-tapping screws are screwed into the end face. As can be seen from the profile, the walls are pulled far enough so that screws can hold sufficiently. The aluminum profiles of both the support tube and the plate support profile part have the same design over the entire length of the table, because they are extruded profiles and have sufficient strength for simple loads. The plate support profile part has on its outer surface in the middle a grooved leg 38.1, one in the groove 40.1 from the rest the drawing (Fig. 6) visible table edge part 40 is inserted, which in turn is glued to the plate support section 38 and screwed if necessary. For example, it can be a solid wooden strip or an integral foam strip or other common table edge designs.

In the present exemplary embodiment, which is designed for particularly heavy-duty tables, welded rectangular tube elements 41 are provided for the connection between the plate support parts 35 and the aluminum profiles on the plate support parts. These can be screwed to the aluminum profiles according to lines 42. For the further, particularly stable connection to the square tube 26.5, a cone-spreading clamping device 43 is provided, in which a truncated pyramid part 43.1 fitting into the square tube 26.5 is welded to the plate support part 35, opposite it is a similar truncated pyramid part 43.2, which also includes Can be tightened with the aid of the screws 44, whereby a slotted square tube tensioning part 45 resting on the inclined pyramid surfaces is pressed apart, so that a firm bracing takes place with the square tube 26.5. Other plug-in or screw connections which engage welded parts or parts provided in the profile can also be provided at this point. If the weld connection is sufficient, the screws 37 can be omitted.

The aluminum profile parts 26.6 and 38 have the upstanding opening edge limbs 47 and 48 delimiting the plate opening '46 and support shoulders 49 and 50, respectively, which are dimensioned such that a table top of conventional thickness, for example 16 or 23 mm, can be inserted and supported.

In the aluminum profile parts shown in FIGS. 6 to 9, 15 and 16, several part-cylinder grooves 39 are mostly provided in corner areas or end areas, which are designed together with their surroundings so that they can accommodate fastening screws. At the plate support profile part 38, a tube space 51 is formed in a long-leg U-profile and is provided for the insertion or insertion of rectangular tube parts. Similarly, the tube space 52 with its surrounding areas - as can be seen in FIG. 8 - is formed on the aluminum support tube part 26.6. Only the groove leg is missing here, because the boundary wall .26.3 should preferably delimit the upper receiving space 28.1 with a smooth surface, so that a wide variety of built-in appliances with their housings can be plugged in snugly or that there is a smooth opening wall for receiving spaces.

The rectangular tube elements 41 can be dimensioned and serve as insertion elements for continuous support tubes that contribute to the stabilization, or can even pass through the entire length of the table in a welded structure and directly in the tube spaces 51 and 52 of the aluminum profile parts 26.6 and 38 lie in order to ensure the necessary stability with an appealing exterior on particularly long tables or particularly heavy plates, such as marble plates or glass plates.

The aluminum support tube parts 26.6 or also called aluminum support tube parts 26.6 for short have in the boundary walls 26.3 and 26.4 accessible T-grooves 55.1 and 55.2 from the inclined outer surfaces 54, the planes of which are oriented perpendicular or parallel to the outer surface 54 and allow to use slot nuts or nuts, by means of which holding devices, additional parts or covers can be screwed on at any point.

A similar T-groove 55.3 is also formed in the area below the tube space 52 in the side wall of the aluminum support tube part 26.6, so that a structural design is also provided for vertical installation at any point. This is also below the longitudinal pipes or pipe sections 41 and is covered by the lateral triangular support pipe cover part 35.3.

As can be seen from FIG. 8, the profile of the aluminum support tube part 26.6 has a further cover groove 58 inside, which has a horizontal bearing surface 58.1 and an inclined upper edge 58.2, so that the joint leg end 59 of the cover 34 fits into the groove 58 can intervene. A contact leg 59.2 limits the insertion. On the opposite side, a support leg 60 is formed here in the central region of the receiving space 28.4 with a locking projection 60.1, behind which the locking projection 58.4 of a locking and locking leg 58.3 engages. By supporting the support leg 58.5 or the groove base 58.6 on the surfaces 60.2 or 60.3 of the support leg 60, the cover part 34 is supported so that the cover 34.1 and 34.2 together with the central support area 61 of the aluminum support tube part 26.6 a continuous smooth storage surface form with good access to the recording rooms 28.4 and 28.5.

The aluminum support tube part 26.6 has in the interior above the groove 58 for the cover 34 a step which surrounds the T-groove 55.3 and has a horizontal bearing surface 63, in which a fastening groove 62 is formed so as to extend from the top in the vertical direction, so that from above Self-tapping screws can be screwed into the groove 62 for fastening the various components of the table or the objects and devices to be used.

A similar structure as on the user edge 27 can also lie on the opposite side at a suitable distance from the support tube 26 and support a corresponding plate support profile part 38. In this embodiment, however, a simpler edge design and only a small extension arm 35.2 are provided. According to FIG. 11, the second plate support profile part 38 for tables used on one side can be omitted entirely and a cover strip placed on the aluminum support tube part 26.6 in this area, so that a table top 22.1 is provided only on one side of the opening 29. However, you can also design the table symmetrically for double-sided use according to FIG. 12, in that the supporting structure of the table top parts is designed the same on both sides and appropriate plate parts made of wood, chipboard, marble, other stones or glass are inserted.

According to FIG. 13, tables arranged directly next to one another, which are preferably used as conference tables or work table, can be clamped together with through screws 65 and nuts 66 which engage through corresponding holes 67 provided under the plates in the plate support parts 35.

While the support structure 24 is only indicated as a cuboid in the schematic representation of the basic structure in FIG. 1, it can be seen from the other figures that it has a support part 24.1 inside as the actual support element, which is formed by an I-shaped steel support profile. Its cavities can be used to hold equipment elements, such as monitors or loudspeakers, which can be viewed from the opposite table or can be used for good voice transmission. The support column 24 is otherwise provided with a suitable covering. Since the tables are lined up and experience has shown that floors are uneven, it is advisable to create an alignable connection between the support column 24 and the support tube 26. An example of this can be seen in Figs. 4, 5, 6 and 14. Here, for example, only a holding U-part 70 is welded to the square tube 26.5, the legs of which are vertical and at right angles to one another and have alignment screws 71. The web 72 of the supporting part 24.1 has two upwardly open fastening slots 73, through which the screws 74 engage, which are screwed into or penetrate through bores 75 of the holding U part 70 and are fastened with nuts. As can be seen, the alignment screws 71 are then supported on the walls of the support part 24.1 and the screws 74 clamp the whole thing in such a way that the entire upper part of the support structure can be fastened in alignment with the column.

A height adjustment can also be carried out along the fastening slots 73. At this point, other connection means, such as fixed welding or other alignable connections, can also be provided. It is also possible to place a larger-area plate on the support tube 26 or to fold a sleeve which is fastened in the T-slots 55 using suitable screws and nuts or slot nuts and which is connected to the support column in a suitable manner. A swivel bracket can also be provided to tilt the entire table top.

In the lower end region 77 of the support column 24, this is connected to the foot plate 25. The base plate 25 of FIG. 1 also shows only the outside of the cover. Inside, there is a frame shown in FIGS. 2, 4, 5 and 14 with a traverse 78 and support arms 79 and a connecting bracket 80. In / corner areas, height-adjustable feet 81 are expediently provided in order to compensate for smaller unevenness in the floor. This framework, too, is expediently attachable to the supporting part 24.1. For this purpose, it has fastening arms 82 which are fastened to the flanges 84 of the supporting part 24.1, preferably in an alignable manner, with at least two screws, fitting bolts, feather keys or other fastening elements. A corresponding cover, which can also be profiled and covered with warm material, can only be seen in FIG. 1. Foot actuation elements, such as switches or signal transmitters of various types, can be provided in the cavities. The upper part 28.1 of the receiving space is - as can be seen from FIGS. 1, 2 and 4 - in its basic form an elongated cuboid space which, apart from the step with the bearing surface 63, has a smooth surface

is designed so that you can use anything. It can be provided with simple lids or with hinged lids, which may have locks, as can also be seen in FIG. 18. In its longitudinal extension. it can be divided by transverse walls. In a sub-area, recording spaces for telephones, dictation machines, automatic dialing devices and other communication devices can be provided.

In particular for conference tables, z. T. to accommodate sensitive means of communication for the participants among themselves, with the conference president, with the interpreters or with the institutions and persons evaluating the election processes. These electronic devices with their actuating and display means as well as the associated circuits and supply devices are - as a rule - so valuable that they must be protected and secured when not in use. For this purpose, an insert 90 with fold-out parts which is shown in more detail in FIGS. 3 and 15 and 16 is provided. This consists of several extruded aluminum parts. Overall, it is designed as a swiveling, roughly cuboid box with a front swivel wall. To the one aluminum part is designed as a bottom and rear wall part 96. The outside smooth bottom wall 96.1 has a support rib 96.2 in the middle and merges into a vertical wall part 96.3, in the inner corner of which a partial cylinder groove 39 is formed. At the upper end of the wall part 96.3 there is a step with a horizontal surface 96.4 and a rear wall leg 96.5. This bottom and back wall part 96 is connected to a cover part 97, for example by gluing to the leg 96.5. Furthermore, only end wall plates shown in FIG. 3 are provided, which are fastened to the profile parts with screws .37 engaging in the partial cylinder groove 39 and thus hold the box together. The cover part 97 has a continuous cover surface 97.1. The underside of the top wall 97.2 has a plurality of ribs, namely fastening ribs 97.3 with screw-in grooves 97.4 and two partial cylinder grooves 39. for fastening the end walls and possibly further installation elements. The essential part fastenings for the built-in devices are made on the fastening ribs 97.3. In addition to the partial cylinder groove 39, a fastening leg 97.5 is provided. Outside the wall 96. a partially cylindrical articulated groove 97.7 is formed under the cover wall 97.2 in its end region 97.6. Hinge holders 98 provided with rotating beads 98.1 are inserted into these, which in turn are screwed onto the limiting leg 53 at the appropriate point. The entire insert 90 can thus be pivoted upward about the articulation bead 98.1, as shown in FIG. 16.

In the area facing the user, that is to say in the direction of the user edge 57, the insert 90 has a pivotable desk wall 99. This has a partially cylindrical shaped leg 99.1, which grips around a leg 97.8. The articulated leg 97.8 is formed on a front end of the cover 97 and permits the pivotable attachment of the desk wall 99. The straight desk wall 99 has at its lower end a partial cylinder wall 99.2, the end of which is provided with a stop leg 99.3. The lower wall 96.1 is correspondingly shorter in its front end area, as illustrated in FIGS. 15 and 13, and has a stop rib 96.7 for the swivel-out limitation with the aid of the stop leg 99.3 and an inner stop angle 96.8 for the inner swivel limitation, which is shown in FIG. 15 can be seen. In the corner of this stop angle 96.8 there is a further partial cylinder groove 39 for inserting screws.

Recesses are provided in the console wall 99, through which operating and display elements are accessible. For this purpose, for example, a switching and display device 100;
indicated schematically. These actuation and display means can be pressure switches, swivel switches, touch switches, sockets, numerical or figure displays with liquid crystals or light signals and various other components of electrical and electronic devices for communication among the conference participants, with the President, the interpreters and other Involved for a variety of purposes. The corresponding electronic devices are either attached to the desk wall 99 or are accommodated in a suitable place in the interior ₁ 02 and attached in the manner familiar to the person skilled in the art and are provided with the lines which can be led from the interior 102 into the corresponding cable ducts. The device can be provided with automatic lifting, closing and actuating means. It is important that - as can be seen - the switching, control, actuation and connection means 1 of the high-quality electronic devices for use are conveniently located in the field of vision and grip when the desk surface is pivoted upwards and swung out to the front and moves with it the partial circular wall 99 is supported on the limiting leg 53, while the desk wall 99 is pivoted in when not in use and the entire insert 90 is sunk under the table surface, so that the sensitive devices and actuating means are not contaminated even when cleaning with liquids or when spilling beverages , because they are swept back towards the top edge and any liquids that may get into them can drain into rooms other than the accommodation rooms of the high-quality electronics.

In Fig. 17 tables are lined up schematically, which can be used on both sides and in which alternately mounted inserts 90 are provided are, so that on each table you have a desk surface on each side, on which a double placement can be made.

18 shows how a double-populated, fold-out desk wall 99 is provided in the middle between two hinged covers 105.

A gas spring 106 can be seen on the hinged cover, by means of which it can be held in its open position. This gas spring also serves to automatically open the .105 hinged cover when its hold is released. Another support can also be provided. A lock 107 is indicated, just like on the cover part 97 of the insert 90. The locks on the insert ensure that the high-quality electronic devices are securely stored against unauthorized use and destruction. The insert 90 can also be moved into its open and raised position with a gas spring, such as the gas spring 106 arranged below the flap 105.

18 to 23 show variants for the floor support elements. 18 to 21, instead of a central support column with a base plate, the support is provided via cheeks 110 which are fastened to the ends 111 of the support tube 26. The cheeks 110 each have a triangular cutout 112 at the top and a rear vertical boundary surface 113 which extends up to in the corner 114 between the support tube and the rear Thison plate or extension arm 35.2. The front boundary line 115 extends from the front corner 116 between the support tube 26 and the extension arm 35.1 to the base point 117, which is set back from the user edge 27. The floor boundary line 118 is guided at right angles to the rear boundary 113. The front boundary line 115 runs at an angle 119 to the ground boundary line 120, which leads to favorable support results, for example at 60 °. Screw feet 121 allow the table to be set up wobble-free. Vertical grooves 122 provided in the middle allow knee trims to be inserted. The shape is appealing and at the same time very practical for use, because it leaves sufficient freedom in the foot and knee space, ensures good ground support and, on the other hand, due to the special design of the support tube 26, allows a secure connection and the favorable support of the forces.

A T-shaped fastening element 123 is provided on each cheek for transferring these forces. This has flange plates 124 arranged at an angle to one another, which are fastened in the T-slots 55 with the aid of screws 125 and slot nuts or nuts. The flange plates carry a fastening leg 126 which engages far into the cheek 110. This can be provided either on one side of the fastening flanges 124, as shown in FIG. 20, or in the middle, namely when two tables 20.1 and 20.2 according to FIG. 21 at their abutment be supported with a cheek.

A special feature of the cheeks 110 is that they consist of two cheek plates 1101 and 110.2 which are connected to one another and which are connected to one another by receiving the fastening leg 126. Further inner supporting structures can be provided, which can reach as far as the feet 121. It is also possible to provide a lead-through space for cable connections from the floor to the support tube 26 between the two cheek plates 110.1 and 110.2. By bevelling and grooving and the like. You can give the cheek an attractive and matching appearance, which is particularly possible due to the double plate design.

Fig. 22 shows a further embodiment variant for the floor support. The same parts are provided with the same reference numerals as in the first embodiment. Here, however, the support member 24.1 is provided with a bottom flange plate 135, which is welded vertically below its end face and which provides mounting holes 136 for the fixed screwing on the floor.

Another embodiment variant is dealt with in FIG. 23. Here, a floor support element 137 in the form of cantilevers is provided on the support column 24, which together with cantilever feet 138 and a cross connecting rod 139 forms a floor framework, under which feet 130 are provided.

The top view of FIG. 24 illustrates how a corner or a U-shaped arrangement can also be formed cheaply with the new table with its supporting structure. Trapezoidal tables with suitable angles are joined together at the abutting edges 140. The band formed by the openings 29 or their covers shows the favorable possibility of laying the cables in a conference table system, especially since the cable ducts are easily accessible through the covers 34.

25 schematically illustrates an embodiment variant for supporting the table top parts 22.1 and 22.2. The support structure 21 here also has, for example, a support column 24 and a base plate 25. A support tube 26 that is resistant to bending and rotation is fastened schematically to the support column 24. This now does not have plate support parts arranged on the end faces of the table, but rather support arms 35.5 running transversely to the user edge 27, which are formed, for example, by rectangular tubes, which are guided by the boundary walls 26.3 connected to the support tube in a flexurally rigid manner, that is to say are clamped as cantilever arms. They hinder the receiving space 28 only slightly and are of the table edge parts 40 which are attached to the table top parts 22.1 and 22.2. are covered on the front. As a rule, two such support arms 35.5 will be provided at a suitable distance from one another. Other support structures are also possible, which are to be connected in a suitable manner to the large-volume support tube 26.

The figures discussed so far always show the same profile shape of the support tube 26 in the basic structure, which is shown again schematically in FIG. 26. The profile of the support tube 260.1 shown here consists of a lower triangular prism with the triangular walls 26.1 and 26.2 and the horizontal partition 30, which delimit the receiving space 28.2, and further delimiting walls 26.3 and 26.4, which protrude vertically and delimit the upper part 28.1. Support legs 261 for plates to be inserted are indicated. The partition 30 can be provided with openings. The whole basic structure can also consist of several parts.

The cross-section of the support tube 26 or 260 can, however, take many forms, which on the one hand offer the necessary bending stiffness and torsional stiffness and on the other hand form the separate cable, guide and receiving spaces, if necessary with shielding in the size required for the needs. 27 to 34 show different variants for this, each of which shows the support tube in a schematic section with the other elements of the table indicated only by dash-dotted lines. Only the differences are discussed.

27 shows a profile of a support tube 260.2, the lower receiving space 283 of which is formed by a square tube 262 oriented parallel to the floor, above which two trapezoidal spaces 281, 282 are formed, whose outer walls 263 run obliquely, while the partition 301 is vertical in the middle. Rooms 281, 282 are freely accessible from above, while openings 283 to the cable room are provided.

28 is a trapezoidal profile with oblique outer walls 264 and vertical partition walls 302, which delimit three receiving spaces 284 to 286 accessible from above.

The support tube 260.4 according to FIG. 29 shows a profile with walls 265 arranged in a U-shape, which delimit a cuboid-shaped receiving space 288. Through two inclined walls 266 and 267 there is another small cable duct 287 accessible from above and a triangular prism-shaped larger cable duct 289. The advantage of this profile is the deep receiving space for correspondingly designed devices and two small cable ducts that are well separated and shielded from one another. Suitable cross connections can possibly. Secure large-area walls against bulging.

The profile of the support tube 260.5 according to FIG. 30 has only flat rectilinear and perpendicular to one another and partitions leading to the base with a central, large cuboid-shaped receiving space 290 and cable ducts 291 which are provided on both sides and are open at the top.

31 also has only horizontally and vertically running walls and partitions, which, however, separate a large and deep receiving space 28.1 from three equally large, smaller cable ducts 291 and thus enable large devices to be accommodated in the upper area. Such a profile can be assembled from conventional rectangular rolled profiles or extrusions.

32 to 34 show support tubes 260.7, 260.8 and 260.9, which have in common that they have not only straight boundary walls, but cylindrical or partially cylindrical boundary walls for the different receiving spaces. As a result, inexpensive pipe parts can be used for the creation of the support structure and swivel devices can be provided on the pipe parts for the pivotable connection to the floor support elements.

The profile according to FIG. 32 has a lower half-cylinder wall 268 and a horizontal straight dividing wall 30, on which a further middle dividing wall 269 is placed, so that a lower, large cable space 293 is formed, to which two smaller receiving and cable spaces 294 are superordinated.

33 has an upper, continuous, cuboid-shaped receiving space 28. 1, which is separated by a partition 30 from a half cylinder with the half cylinder wall 268. Within this space there is a further dividing tube 270, which delimits a central receiving space 295 of cylinder shape and two secondary spaces 296.

34 has a fully cylindrical tube 271 with two vertical boundary walls 26.3 and 26.4, which are attached tangentially to the cylinder tube 271. This results in two small cable receptacles 297 and a medium large receptacle 298 for devices, cables and the like.

Other variants are possible. It is important that the structure is torsion and bending resistant to a large volume and has several separate spaces in its supporting and receiving structure and is part of the entire table concept.
