Definitions

  • the invention relates to a work table consisting of a support frame, a height-adjustable worktop by means of the support frame and at least one receiving area for a container located below the worktop.
  • Work tables of this type are known in a variety of forms.
  • the support frame elements are usually arranged in the side edge region of the respective work table, and it is also known to design the support frames in the form of closed frames or in a C-shape and to attach the work table between two such frame parts.
  • Cable ducts intended for cable routing are fixed in place.
  • the problem with the known worktables is that changes in the distances to cable ducts and containers result in the case of the height adjustment of the worktop, and that a practically complete sequence or combination of such worktables encounters difficulties.
  • the object of the invention is to design a worktable of the type mentioned in such a way that optimal receiving areas for containers result, a problem-free arrangement or combination of worktables can be achieved and, above all, changes in the height of the worktop and an inclination adjustment of the worktop to no complications in connection with cable ducts and containers.
  • the support frame has telescopically extendable elements, in particular connected to at least one cable duct section, and at least the bottom-side support members of the support frame are offset inwards with respect to the side edges of the worktop to form receiving areas for containers.
  • the positioning of the base-side support elements and the attachment of the cable ducts outside the container receiving areas result in an optimal, free construction space that does not require a limitation of the height of the containers, provides the greatest possible legroom and allows seamless rows in practically any shape.
  • the support frame has two spaced, flat chamber-shaped vertical elements in which support elements for the worktop, which are designed to be telescopically movable and are designed as hollow bodies, are arranged and these support elements are connected to one another by a cable duct.
  • the cable duct changes its position in accordance with the height adjustment of the support elements and thus always assumes a fixed position with respect to the worktop.
  • the height of the support elements can be adjusted mechanically or electrically, for example.
  • a particularly favorable structure results when the bottom-side support members are attached to the facing end faces of the vertical elements and the width of these vertical elements is approximately equal to the width of the containers, since in this way the containers can be arranged in alignment with the vertical elements and, if necessary, by Coupling these vertical elements with the containers a stable base construction is obtained, which makes additional support members unnecessary.
  • the height adjustment of the worktop together with the cable duct does not pose any problems, since the cables can be guided in the flat-chamber-shaped elements with the formation of loops and the necessary cable length compensation is inevitably obtained.
  • the support frame consists of a single, flat-chamber-shaped central base part with bottom-side support members, the vertically movable element arranged in a form-fitting manner in this central base part being designed as a central support part and at the same time being used as a cable receiving space.
  • This stable and compact embodiment, together with containers arranged on the side, provides a closed leg receiving area, which is advantageous in the case of unfavorable spatial conditions and drafts.
  • the worktop is adjustable in its inclination and, for this purpose, is pivotably mounted on the vertically movable support elements and is supported with respect to the stationary vertical elements in such a way that when the support elements are adjusted in height, the worktop is pivoted about a virtual pivot axis on the worktop front plate.
  • This pivoting principle makes it possible to use tall containers on the one hand and to avoid any impairment of the legroom for the user on the other hand, and that with any table height adjustment.
  • Fig. 1 shows a support frame of a work table, best hend from two mutually spaced vertical elements with telescopically extendable support elements 2, 3 and bottom-side support members 4, 5, which are connected to each other via a base plate 6.
  • a cable duct 8 corresponding to the width of the worktop, not shown, is firmly attached to the vertical elements.
  • a cable duct 8 ver is attached between the vertically movable support elements 2, 3. Cable loops formed between the fixed cable duct 8 and the movable cable duct 8 ⁇ are located in the vertical elements.
  • worktop supports 7 are firmly connected, which consist of a horizontal beam and an obliquely extending support beam, the support beam being displaceable in a corresponding longitudinal slot in the vertical element.
  • the height of the support elements 2, 3 can be adjusted, for example, using a hand crank or using an electric motor. A height adjustment in the range between 680 and 1140 mm is preferably provided.
  • FIG. 2 shows a complete work table using the support frame according to FIG. 1, on which a worktop 1 is now arranged.
  • container 10 are practically positively retracted, so that there is a flush, seamless connection on the side results in further work tables.
  • the possibility of seamlessly lining up such work tables inevitably creates a coherent cable routing channel 8.
  • the containers 10 are advanced over the worktop 1, the slope of the worktop front edge preferably continuing in a corresponding container inclined surface. This configuration enables the use of containers with a maximum volume.
  • Fig. 3 shows a support frame which consists of two mutually spaced, flat chamber-shaped vertical elements 12, 13, in which vertically movable support elements 2, 3 are arranged for a worktop.
  • bottom-side support members 4, 5 are articulated, so that the broad side of the vertical elements 12, 13 is completely free and a congruent arrangement of containers in front of these elements 12, 13 is possible.
  • the vertically displaceable support elements 2, 3 are designed as hollow bodies and are connected to one another by a form-adapted cable duct 8.
  • the areas of the carrier elements 2, 3 projecting beyond the vertical elements 12, 13 can practically be regarded as a component of the cable duct 8 and in these areas there is also a cable guide.
  • FIG 4 shows in a schematic manner the routing of a cable 9 between two lateral connection cable channels via the cable channel 8 which can be moved centrally and together with the worktop 1.
  • the design of the support elements 2, 3 and the vertical elements 12, 13 as a hollow body enables the formation of cable storage loops 11 within these hollow bodies, so that the height of the worktop 1 can be adjusted undisturbed by cables in virtually any manner.
  • the embodiment variant of a carrier frame shown in FIG. 5 differs from the embodiment according to FIG. 3 essentially in that, in addition to the cable duct 15 which can be moved together with the carrier elements 2, 3 and thus together with the worktop, a stationary cable duct 8 is provided between the vertical elements 12, 13, that is to say a split structure is used for the overall cable duct, whereby the duct 8 fixed to the frame is preferably made larger than the vertically movable cable duct 15.
  • FIG. 6 in turn shows the cable course resulting in a frame arrangement according to FIG. 5, wherein in the carrier elements 2, 3 and the vertical elements 12, 13 there is in each case a fixed loop assigned to the large cable channel 8 and a variable loop assigned to the small cable channel 15 Loop 11 result.
  • FIG. 7 shows a support frame consisting of a single, flat-chamber-shaped central base part 14 with bottom-side support members 4, 5, a central support part 16 designed as a hollow body being arranged in this central base part and its height being mechanically or electrically adjustable.
  • This hollow central part 16 forms with its portion protruding beyond the central base part 14 a cable duct, which in turn migrates with the associated worktop.
  • Cable loops 11 are formed in the central support part 16 or in the central foot part 14, which make it possible, regardless of the respective height adjustment of the worktop 1, to connect the cables to laterally adjoining cable channels forward and insert into the height-adjustable cable duct from the bottom.
  • Fig. 9 shows an arrangement for the inclination adjustment of the worktop 1, which can also be used independently of cable duct arrangements in all design variants which work with worktop height adjustment.
  • the worktop 1 is pivotally mounted on the telescopically extendable support elements in a bearing 17 and is supported with respect to the vertical elements 12 by means of a support lever 18, this support lever 18 being pivotably mounted on the respective vertical element 12 at a pivot point 19 and with its other end via an elongated hole. Pivotal point 20 is connected to the worktop 1.
  • a control lever 21 extends between the pivot bearing 17 and a pivot point 22 on the support lever 18.
  • control lever 21 hinged coaxially to the worktop 1 runs with a first section approximately parallel to the worktop 1 and then extends over a section angled at an acute angle to the pivot point 22 on the support arm 18.
  • This superimposed arrangement of support lever 18 and control lever 21 avoids shear points and thus all safety aspects are taken into account.
  • the slot pivot point 20 is located approximately in the middle of the worktop 1, and the pivot point 22 between the support lever 18 and the control lever 21 is located approximately at the beginning of the last third of the support lever 18 on the worktop side.
  • the worktop 1 can rest directly on the container 10, but it is essential that due to the adjustment of the inclination of the worktop 1 via a virtual swivel axis 23 can be worked with maximum high containers.
  • Fig. 10 shows the case of the inclination of the worktop 1, which is caused by raising the support element 2. This type of inclination of the table top by lifting the rear end results in the virtual pivot axis 23 in the region of the front edge of the container, the leg room of the user being fully retained regardless of the inclination setting.
  • support lever 18 and control lever 21 are in practically all conceivable positions in the overlay position and thus no dangerous jamming or. Shear positions are created and optimal force absorption is ensured in all positions.
