Definitions

  • the invention relates to a work table, in particular for the office, laboratory and workshop area, with a worktop supported by means of two rear and front support elements.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a work table of the type specified which can be expanded without any problems, starting from a transparent and stable basic shape with simultaneous integration of the required technology, and in particular with storage and support surfaces for display and / or not reducing the actual work surface Expand instrument blocks and add fixed or movable containers.
  • this work table should be suitable for rows and other versatile combinations with similar tables.
  • At least the rear carrier elements each consist of a hollow profile part with at least two integrally molded coupling flange surfaces with fastening openings, which extend at least over part of the hollow profile part and between them in particular include a right angle, and in that the worktop complementary to the coupling flange surfaces and positively and non-positively screwed coupling members are attached.
  • the sturdy, hollow extrusions on the back made of continuous castings, provide in connection with the positively and non-positively attached, on the work surface te provided coupling members a stable basic structure, the support in the front area can be carried out by simply trained, for example, consisting of cylindrical elements or via fixed, laterally arranged containers.
  • the hollow profile parts forming the support elements consist of a tubular central part and dome-shaped molded over the outer circumference, as well as coupling flanges, which extend over the length of the hollow profile part.
  • a flat cover profile plate can be fixed between the dome flanges and a cover angle profile can be fixed between a dome flange and an attachment of a dome channel, these cover profiles forming an isosceles triangle in cross section together with the outer contour of the central part.
  • This configuration not only leads to an optimal aesthetic appearance of the work table, but also leads to the creation of cable routing channels from which the electrical lines can be routed practically invisibly into horizontally running cable channels, cable ducts and the like, in the case of such a series Work tables also in the form of loops.
  • the open end of the tubular central part is used as a plug and bearing receptacle for, in particular, support elements, e.g. designed for screens, communication devices and the like, or for lighting arrangements.
  • support elements e.g. designed for screens, communication devices and the like, or for lighting arrangements.
  • At least one extremely stable additional level can be created, which offers a wide variety of recording options, can contain electrical connection and lighting units and in turn does not impair the usable work surface of the table. Due to the existing variable connection options on the rear hollow profile beams, the height of the desired additional levels can be selected as best as possible in accordance with the given application.
  • Fig. 1 shows a sturdy countertop 1, which is chamfered at its rear corner areas and not Coupling links shown is positively and non-positively connected to hollow profile support elements 2.
  • These hollow profile support elements 2 are closed on the bottom side and worktop side with cover parts 4, which are preferably jammed in the hollow profiles.
  • cover parts 4 which are preferably jammed in the hollow profiles.
  • the worktop 2 is supported by two inwardly displaced, cylindrical support elements 3. In this way, receiving areas for containers are created on the side.
  • Fig. 2 shows a partial perspective view of a hollow profile support element 2, which consists essentially of a tubular central part and integrally molded flange parts, in particular strip-shaped coupling flange surfaces 5 extending over the length of the hollow profile element 2 are provided, which are at an angle of 90 ° run to each other and are provided with rows of holes 6 serving for fastening purposes.
  • the respective worktop can be fastened at the desired height via these coupling flange surfaces 5, specifically by way of coupling members which positively interact with these coupling flange surfaces and which in turn are fastened to the worktop.
  • Appropriate approaches can be coupled with the hollow profile support element 2 cover profiles, namely an essentially flat cover profile part 9, which spans the area between the two coupling flange surfaces 5, and cover angle profiles 10, which in the assembled state together with the flat cover plate 9 an in Define cross-section triangular structure of the support element 2, in particular the shape of a right-angled triangle.
  • the spaces 16, 17 created by the cover parts 9, 10 can simultaneously be used as cable ducts.
  • the coupling ducts 11, which enable a coupling of adjacent work tables or intermediate plates, are arranged such that both a direct corner connection and connections on both sides of this connection corner area are possible.
  • Lugs 12 and 13 on the outwardly projecting flange parts ensure that the cover plates or angle profiles 9, 10 can be connected and fixed by means of snap-lock connections.
  • Fig. 4 shows schematically a fixed to the worktop 1 support frame 21 to which the coupling members 15 are attached, which are screwed to the coupling flange surfaces 5 of the hollow profile support elements 2 at the desired height and thus create a stable association.
  • the coupling members 15 are practically complementary to the receiving area 5, 7 of the hollow profile support elements 2 and thus comprise two fastening legs with rows of holes 19, which in turn extend at an angle of approximately 90 ° to one another.
  • the frame structure 21 is provided with correspondingly arranged flange plates 20 for fastening the front-side support elements.
  • Fig. 5 shows a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, in which the rear hollow profile support elements 2 are guided upwards beyond the worktop 1 and at a distance from the worktop 1 is a cross member Unit 22 is connected to the hollow profile support elements, in the same way as the work table via appropriately trained coupling elements.
  • an additional, stable level is provided which enables, for example, a plurality of inserts 24 to be accommodated, which on the one hand permits good accessibility and observability of such inserts, but on the other hand does not lead to a reduction in the work surface 1.
  • the necessary lines can be guided invisibly into the transverse plane area, which is preferably also designed as a hollow profile part, so that the required electrical connection areas 23 can be provided there or lighting units can be attached if necessary.
  • FIG. 6 shows an example of a combination of a work table of the type shown in FIGS. 1 and 5 using an intermediate part 27. These work tables are combined with containers which can be attached in a fixed or movable manner and in particular are flush with the work surface 1.
  • the existing tubular central part of the hollow profile support element 2 forms a plug and bearing receptacle for preferably pivotable support parts, such as e.g. Carrier for communication devices or monitors, or for a pivotable lighting arrangement 25, as indicated schematically in FIG. 6.
  • pivotable support parts such as e.g. Carrier for communication devices or monitors, or for a pivotable lighting arrangement 25, as indicated schematically in FIG. 6.
  • FIG. 7 of the combination of two work station arrangements according to FIG. 5 makes it clear that an extremely stable compact arrangement is obtained by placing two such units on the rear side and coupling the hollow profile support elements 2.
  • rigid rods 14 to be seen between the front carrier elements 3 and the respective underside of the worktop 1 in a surprisingly simple manner, any vibration phenomena in the overall arrangement and, at the same time, an increase in stability are achieved.
  • the tubular central part 8 can be used particularly advantageously for supplying compressed air or vacuum to the respective work station.
  • the central part 8 can serve directly as a guide pipe for compressed air or can be connected to a vacuum source, but it is also possible to lead corresponding pipe or hose lines within the central part 8. Coupling points for connection to compressed air or vacuum can be integrated directly into the support element.
