Definitions

  • the invention relates to a work table, in particular for screen workstations, with a base frame, a worktop which rests on the base frame, and with a cable duct running along the worktop with a base, a front wall, a rear wall, a cover which is flush with the Surface of the worktop lies, as well as a longitudinal slot for carrying out an electrical. Connecting cable.
  • connection and connection cables of devices placed on the worktop can be hidden in the interior of the cable duct up to the connection point or socket. If necessary, the cable duct also accepts distribution rails or multiple power strips.
  • connection elements of electrical devices are generally much larger than the relatively thin electrical cable itself. Special design measures are therefore necessary to widen the longitudinal slot provided in the cable duct so that a cable together the permanently attached connection element can be inserted. For example, the upper cover of the cable duct can be opened; After the electrical connection cable has been inserted, the cable duct is closed again by closing this cover. Another possibility is to fasten the worktop so that it can move horizontally on the base so that it can be pushed forward to temporarily open the cable duct.
  • the longitudinal slot required for the passage of the electrical connection cable is usually located in the cover or is provided in the free rear wall facing away from the worktop.
  • a work table with a cable duct is known from EP-A 0 111 596, in which the longitudinal slot for the cable is provided in the plane of the cover of the cable duct.
  • the rear longitudinal edge of the worktop, which faces the cover and limits the longitudinal slot to the front, is rectangular.
  • the cover can be opened to insert the cable.
  • a cable lying on the worktop must be bent downwards at right angles so that it leads into the interior of the cable duct from above.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a work table with a cable duct which is flush with the work surface, in which even thick and rigid connecting cables from electrical appliances placed on the work surface can be guided as straight as possible and avoiding strong bends into the interior of the cable duct.
  • the solution to this technical problem is based on a work table of the type mentioned at the outset.
  • the object is achieved in that the worktop has a slope sloping downward towards the cable duct, and in that the longitudinal slot of the cable duct in its front wall adjacent to the worktop is provided.
  • the beveling of the worktop in the direction of the cable duct opens up the possibility of laying the longitudinal slot for the passage of the connecting cable in the front wall adjacent to the worktop.
  • a cable lying completely flat on the worktop can therefore be easily inserted into the interior of the cable duct with minimal bending.
  • the bevel conveniently slopes down at an angle of approximately 45 degrees from the top of the worktop.
  • Such a geometry is approximated to an arc of a circle, which results when a somewhat flexible but elastically deformable cable is bent.
  • the transition between the top of the worktop and the bevel can also be designed to run continuously.
  • a design of the worktop with a bevel extending to the underside is preferred. Along this continuous bevel, a cable can be pressed down into the level of the underside of the worktop, so that cables can also be laid whose diameter is in the order of the thickness of the Worktop lies.
  • a distance is provided between the worktop and the cable duct. Any liquid spilled on the worktop can then run down over the bevel and drip down between the front wall of the cable duct, which is protected against the ingress of moisture, and the rear edge of the worktop.
  • the front wall is lower than the height of the cable duct, so that the longitudinal slot is delimited by the cover and the upper edge of the front wall.
  • the longitudinal slot required for cable entry is therefore created in the simplest way by shortening the front wall. This automatically results in a position of the longitudinal slot directly under the cover of the cable duct, so that the longitudinal slot and the top of the worktop have the smallest possible height difference.
  • the cover can protrude from the front and / or the back of the cable duct. Although the cover lies in one plane with the top of the worktop, the space required for this is available due to the bevel of the worktop. The resulting interruption of the level usable surface of the worktable resulting from the bevel is limited to the extent absolutely necessary for the passage of the cables by such an overhanging of the cover.
  • the projecting cover can carry a downward-pointing rubber lip, which closes the longitudinal slot at the points where there is no cable entry and thus protects against the ingress of dirt and moisture.
  • the cover of the cable duct can be removed.
  • the cover can be latched on webs which are arranged in the interior of the cable duct.
  • a structurally somewhat more complex solution is to form the cover in a hinged manner, for example in that the cover is articulated on supports which are arranged in the interior of the cable duct.
  • an additional longitudinal slot is provided in the rear wall of the cable duct.
  • This additional longitudinal slot allows the connection cables running inside the cable duct to be led out at the rear of the work table, for example in the direction of a nearby device connection or a socket.
  • an additional plate can be arranged on the side of the cable duct opposite the worktop, which also has a bevel that slopes downward towards the cable duct. The worktop and additional plate can then be used in the same way for storing electrical devices, the respective connection cables being able to be inserted from both sides into the cable duct which is now arranged centrally between the two plates.
  • FIG. 1 The work table shown obliquely from the rear in FIG. 1 has a base frame 110 on which a worktop 120 rests.
  • a cable duct 130 which is covered at the top and runs essentially in front of a metal profile, runs transversely along the rear edge of the worktop.
  • FIG. 2 shows the rear section of a worktop 220 with a rectangular cross section, as is used in conventional work tables.
  • the worktop 220 is followed by a cable duct 230, which is formed by a flat bottom 231, a front wall 232, a rear wall 233 and a flat cover 234. With its straight front wall 232, the cable duct 230 lies flat against the rear edge of the worktop 220.
  • the cover 234 is flush with the top 221 of the worktop 220.
  • the height of the cable duct 230 measures several times the thickness of the worktop 220, so that its underside 222 is substantially higher than the bottom 231 of the cable duct 230.
  • the cover 234 there is a longitudinal slot 235 incorporated.
  • a connecting cable 240 of an electrical device (not shown) placed on the worktop 220 leads through the longitudinal slot 235 into the interior of the cable duct 230. Because of the position of the longitudinal slot 235 in the cover 234, the connecting cable 240 must be at least at a right angle downward around the rear edge of the Worktop 220 or around the front wall 232 of the cable duct 230 are bent. Because of its elastic resistance to the bend, the connecting cable 240 forms a loop 241 which undesirably protrudes from the top 221 of the worktop 220.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates the principle of the invention: the worktop 330 has a bevel 323 which slopes downward towards the cable duct 330 and extends to the bottom 322 and forms an angle of approximately 45 degrees with the top 321.
  • the longitudinal slot 335 for the passage of an electrical connecting cable 340 is provided here in the front wall 332 of the cable duct 330.
  • the connection cable 340 just resting on the top 321 of the worktop 320 leads in a slight S-shaped bend and without forming a standing loop into the interior of the cable channel 330.
  • a rear wall 333 once angled, closes the cable channel 330 to the rear, immediately below the Cover 334 an additional longitudinal slot 336 is provided.
  • the longitudinal slot 335 and the additional longitudinal slot 336 result from the fact that the front wall 332 and the rear wall 333 are each smaller by the slot width than the height of the cable duct 330. Between the rear end of the worktop 320 and the adjacent front wall 332 of the cable duct 330 a distance 350 of a few millimeters is provided which, if necessary, prevents the ingress of liquid which flows down the bevel 323 through the longitudinal slot 335 which is open towards the front.
  • FIG. 4 shows an embodiment in which a worktop 420 with a bevel 423 is arranged opposite the front wall 432 of the cable duct 430 and an additional plate 460 with a mirror-image bevel 461 is arranged opposite the rear wall 433.
  • the cover 434 of the cable duct 430 is wider than the bottom 431 thereof so that it overhangs the front wall 432 and the rear wall 433.
  • rubber lips 437 are inserted, which close the longitudinal slot 435 in the front wall 432 or an additional longitudinal slot 436 in the rear wall 433.
  • the underside 522 of the worktop 520 abuts the front wall 532 of the cable duct 530.
  • a collecting channel 570 is formed on the latter.
  • drain holes 571 are provided, through which possibly collected liquid can flow down.
  • vertically standing supports 539 are arranged, at the upper end of which a cover 534 with rounded edges is pivotally attached. The rear wall 533 in this cable duct 530 is pulled up to the level of the upper side 521 of the worktop 520, so that the cable duct 530 is completely closed to the rear.
