Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Kabelkanal für einen Schreibtisch oder dergleichen, insbesondere zur vertikalen Anordnung, mit einer ver­schließbaren länglichen Öffnung zum Einlegen oder Entnehmen von Kabeln.The invention relates to a cable duct for a desk or the like, in particular for vertical arrangement, with a closable elongated opening for inserting or removing cables.

Ein derartiger Kabelkanal ist bekannt aus dem DE - Gbm 75 13 456. Dieser Kabelkanal hat eine längliche Öffnung, und zu ihrem Verschluß dient ein Deckel, der in diese Öffnung eingeclipst werden kann. Jedesmal, wenn ein Kabel eingelegt oder herausgenommen werden soll, muß man diesen Deckel auf seiner gesamten Länge aus der länglichen Öffnung herausnehmen und anschließend wieder einsetzen, was arbeits­aufwendig ist.Such a cable duct is known from DE-Gbm 75 13 456. This cable duct has an elongated opening, and a cover serves to close it, which can be clipped into this opening. Each time a cable is to be inserted or removed, this cover must be removed from the elongated opening along its entire length and then reinserted, which is labor-intensive.

Eine Aufgabe der Erfindung wird deshalb darin gesehen, hier eine Ver­besserung zu schaffen.It is therefore an object of the invention to provide an improvement here.

Nach der Erfindung wird dies bei einem eingangs genannten Kabel­kanal dadurch erreicht, daß gegen die Ränder der länglichen Öffnung anliegend ein Verschlußteil vorgesehen ist, welches, bevorzugt in seinem Mittelbereich, durch ein Verbindungsteil im Inneren des Kabelkanals abgestützt ist und dessen gegen die Ränder der länglichen Öffnung anliegenden Abschnitte aus einem flexiblen Kunststoff, insbesondere einem weichen PVC, ausgebildet sind, der beim Einlegen eines Kabels elastisch nachgebend auslenkbar ist, insbesondere in Richtung zur Innenseite des Kabelkanals. Man braucht dieses Verschlußteil also nicht abzunehmen, wenn ein Kabel eingelegt oder herausgenommen werden soll, sondern dieses Teil wird einfach ausgelenkt und bildet dann temporär eine Öffnung für die Montage oder Demontage des Kabels.According to the invention, this is achieved in the case of a cable duct mentioned at the outset in that a closure part is provided lying against the edges of the elongated opening, which is supported, preferably in its central region, by a connecting part in the interior of the cable duct and against the edges of the elongated opening adjacent sections are formed from a flexible plastic, in particular a soft PVC, which can be deflected elastically yielding when a cable is inserted, in particular in the direction of the inside of the cable duct. You do not need to remove this closure part when a cable is to be inserted or removed, but this part is simply deflected and then temporarily forms an opening for the assembly or disassembly of the cable.

Dabei entsteht der zusätzliche Vorteil, daß das Verbindungsteil eine Trennwand im Kabelkanal bilden kann, die diesen in einen Abschnitt für Starkstromleitungen und einen Abschnitt für Schwachstromleitungen unterteilen kann.This creates the additional advantage that the connecting part can form a partition in the cable duct, which can subdivide this into a section for high-voltage lines and a section for low-voltage lines.

Mit besonderem Vorteil geht man in Weiterbildung der Erfindung so vor, daß das Verbindungsteil aus einem im wesentlichen starren Kunststoff, insbesondere einem harten PVC, ausgebildet ist. Das Verbindungsteil bildet dann eine starre Trennwand im Kabelkanal.It is particularly advantageous to develop the invention in such a way that the connecting part is made of an essentially rigid plastic, in particular a hard PVC. The connecting part then forms a rigid partition in the cable duct.

Eine außerordentlich günstige Lösung erhält man gemäß der Erfindung dadurch, daß das Verschlußteil und das Verbindungsteil aus einem elastischen bzw. aus einem starren Kunststoff koextrudiert sind, insbe­sondere aus einem weichen und einem harten PVC. Man erhält so ein einstückiges Teil, dessen verschiedene Abschnitte optimal an ihre je­weilige Funktion angepaßt sind.An extremely favorable solution is obtained according to the invention in that the closure part and the connecting part are co-extruded from an elastic or from a rigid plastic, in particular from a soft and a hard PVC. A one-piece part is thus obtained, the different sections of which are optimally adapted to their respective function.

Weitere Einzelheiten und vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus dem im folgenden beschriebenen und in der Zeichnung dargestellten, in keiner Weise als Einschränkung der Erfindung zu ver­stehenden Ausführungsbeispiel, sowie aus den weiteren Unteransprüchen. Es zeigt:

Fig. 1 zeigt eine Teilansicht eines Tischs 10 samt Tischbein 11, an welch letzterem ein Kabelkanal 12 angeordnet ist. Der Tisch 10 hat wie üblich eine Tischplatte 13, die hier beispielsweise auf einem Stahlrahmen 14 ange­ordnet ist, an dem auch die Tischbeine 11 befestigt sind.1 shows a partial view of a table 10 including table leg 11, on the latter of which a cable duct 12 is arranged. As usual, the table 10 has a table top 13, which is arranged here, for example, on a steel frame 14 to which the table legs 11 are also attached.

Direkt unterhalb des Rahmens 14 ist auf dem Tischbein 11 eine Halterung 16 drehbar angeordnet und nach unten durch einen Stützring 17 abgestützt, der auf dem Tischbein 11 befestigt ist. Fig. 4 zeigt diese Halterung bei 16′ mit gestrichelten Linien im eingeschwenkten Zustand, bei der sie unter dem Tisch 10 liegt, und mit durchgezogenen Linien bei 16 im ausgeschwenkten Zustand, in der sie als Auflage für eine anzukoppelnde Tischplatte oder dergleichen dienen kann. Hierzu hat die Halterung 16 auf ihrer Oberseite zwei Langlöcher 18 und 19.Directly below the frame 14, a holder 16 is rotatably arranged on the table leg 11 and supported downwards by a support ring 17 which is fastened on the table leg 11. Fig. 4 shows this bracket at 16 'with dashed lines in the swung-in state, in which it lies under the table 10, and with solid lines at 16 in the swung-out state, in which it can serve as a support for a table top or the like to be coupled. For this purpose, the holder 16 has two elongated holes 18 and 19 on its upper side.

Auf ihrer Unterseite hat die Halterung 16 eine Aussparung 22, die in Fig. 6 besonders gut erkennbar ist. Sie hat beim Ausführungsbeispiel etwa die Form eines Kreisringsegments mit einer Erstreckung von 90°, und in ihr befindet sich ein Vorsprung 23, der sich vom Mittelabschnitt 24 der Halterung 16 radial nach außen erstreckt, jedoch nur über einen Teil des Kreisringsektors, z.B, wie dargestellt, über etwa zwei Drittel der radialen Erstreckung dieses Kreisringsektors.On its underside, the holder 16 has a recess 22, which can be seen particularly well in FIG. 6. In the exemplary embodiment, it has approximately the shape of a circular ring segment with an extension of 90 °, and in it there is a projection 23 which extends radially outward from the central section 24 of the holder 16, but only over part of the circular ring sector, for example, as shown , about two thirds of the radial extent of this circular sector.

Wie Fig. 1 zeigt, befindet sich am unteren Ende des Tischbeins 11 eine zweite Halterung 26, die mit der Halterung 16 identisch ist und symmetrisch zu ihr angeordnet ist, wie das Fig. 1 zeigt. Anders gesagt, befindet sich bei der Halterung 16 die Aussparung 22 auf der Unterseite, während sie sich bei der Halterung 26 auf der Oberseite befindet, so daß diese Aussparungen einander zugewandt sind.As shown in FIG. 1, there is a second holder 26 at the lower end of the table leg 11, which is identical to the holder 16 and is arranged symmetrically to it, as shown in FIG. 1. In other words, the recess 22 is located on the underside of the holder 16, while it is located on the upper side of the holder 26, so that these recesses face one another.

Wie Fig. 1 zeigt, befindet sich zwischen den beiden Halterungen 16 und 26 ein Kabelkanal 30, der, wie angedeutet, aus Blech oder Kunststoff besteht und mit Löchern 31 versehen ist, also z.B. aus sogenanntem Lochblech. Die Querschnittsform dieses Kabelkanals 30 geht aus Fig. 2 hervor, und sie ist so gewählt, daß sie von der Aussparung 22 und dem Vorsprung 23 etwa formschlüssig aufgenommen werden kann. Die genaue Form des Kabelkanals 30, sowie die Abweichung von der Form der Aussparung 22 im radialen Innenbereich, ergibt sich aus Fig. 2 in allen Einzelheiten.As shown in FIG. 1, between the two brackets 16 and 26 there is a cable duct 30 which, as indicated, consists of sheet metal or plastic and is provided with holes 31, that is to say, for example, of so-called perforated sheet metal. The cross-sectional shape of this cable duct 30 can be seen in FIG. 2, and it is selected such that it can be received by the recess 22 and the projection 23 approximately in a form-fitting manner. The exact shape of the cable duct 30, as well as the deviation from the shape of the recess 22 in the radial inner region, results from FIG. 2 in all details.

An der radialen Außenseite hat der Kabelkanal 30 die Form eines Kreiszylinderabschnitts, und dieser hat in seiner Mitte eine längliche Öffnung 35, die sich über die gesamte Länge des Kabelkanals 30 er­streckt, also von der Halterung 16 bis zur Halterung 26. Die Ränder der länglichen Öffnung sind geschützt durch auf sie aufgebrachte Kunststoffteile 36, z.B. aus weichem PVC.On the radially outer side, the cable duct 30 has the shape of a circular cylinder section, and this has in its center an elongated opening 35 which extends over the entire length of the cable duct 30, that is to say from the holder 16 to the holder 26. The edges of the elongated opening are protected by plastic parts 36 applied to them, e.g. made of soft PVC.

Um den Vorsprung 23 herum bildet der Kabelkanal 30 einen zu diesem Vorsprung etwa komplementären Trennsteg 40, der das Innere des Kabelkanals 30 teilweise in zwei gleich große und zueinander symmetrische Kabelkammern 41 und 42 unterteilt.Around the protrusion 23, the cable duct 30 forms a separating web 40 which is approximately complementary to this protrusion and which partly divides the interior of the cable duct 30 into two equally large and symmetrical cable chambers 41 and 42.

Zum Verschluß der länglichen Öffnung 35 dient ein Kunststoffteil 45, das in Fig. 3 im Querschnitt dargestellt ist. Zur Befestigung auf dem Trennsteg 40 hat es einen im Querschnitt stimmgabelförmigen Abschnitt 46 mit zwei Gabelzinken 47. Dieser Abschnitt 46 ist aus einem relativ harten PVC hergestellt, das sich nur wenig verformen läßt, so daß die Gabelzinken 47 nach dem Aufschieben auf den Trennsteg 40 diesen fest umschließen und eine kraftschlüssige Verbindung mit dem Trennsteg 40 entsteht.A plastic part 45, which is shown in cross section in FIG. 3, is used to close the elongated opening 35. For attachment to the separating web 40, it has a tuning fork-shaped section 46 with two fork tines 47. This section 46 is made of a relatively hard PVC, which can be deformed only slightly, so that the fork tines 47 after being pushed onto the separating web 40 tightly enclose and a non-positive connection with the separator 40 is formed.

An den Abschnitt 46 schließt sich ein zu diesem etwa senkrecht verlaufender Abschnitt 48 an, mit einem in Fig. 3 oberen Teil 49 und einem unteren Teil 50, deren freie Enden 51 bzw. 52 komplementär zu den Kunststoff­rändern 36 des Kabelkanals 30 ausgebildet sind und im montierten Zustand gegen deren Innenseiten anlegen, vgl. Fig. 2. Im Gegensatz zum Abschnitt 46 ist der Abschnitt 48 aus einem weichen, elastischen PVC hergestellt, so daß) seine Teile 49 bzw. 50 zum Einlegen oder Entnehmen eines Kabels bequem nach innen gedrückt werden können, wodurch eine entsprechende Öffnung entsteht, die sich dann anschließend von selbst wieder schließt, weil das Teil 49 oder das Teil 50 von selbst in seine - in den Fig. 2 und 3 dargestellte - Ursprungslage zurückkehrt.The section 46 is adjoined by a section 48 which is approximately perpendicular thereto, with an upper part 49 and a lower part 50 in FIG. 3, the free ends 51 and 52 of which are complementary to the plastic edges 36 of the cable duct 30 and in place the assembled state against the inside, cf. Fig. 2. In contrast to section 46, section 48 is made of a soft, elastic PVC, so that its parts 49 and 50 can be pressed inwards comfortably for inserting or removing a cable, thereby creating a corresponding opening which then then closes again by itself because part 49 or part 50 automatically returns to its original position - shown in FIGS. 2 and 3.

Wie Fig. 2 klar zeigt, bildet der Abschnitt 46 zusammen mit den Zinken 47 eine isolierende Trennwand im Kabelkanal 30 und trennt dessen beide Kammern 41 und 42 voneinander.As FIG. 2 clearly shows, the section 46 together with the prongs 47 forms an insulating partition in the cable duct 30 and separates the two chambers 41 and 42 from one another.

Bei der Herstellung werden die Abschnitte 46 und 48 des Teils 45 ge­meinsam extrudiert, was auch als Koextrusion bezeichnet wird.During manufacture, sections 46 and 48 of part 45 are extruded together, which is also referred to as coextrusion.

Naturgemäß ist das Teil 45 nicht auf die dargestellte spezielle Form beschränkt, sondern kann den jeweiligen Bedürfnissen optimal ange­paßt werden.Naturally, the part 45 is not limited to the special shape shown, but can be optimally adapted to the respective needs.

Die Halterung 26 wird am Tischbein 11 dadurch befestigt, daß dessen als Schraubteil ausgebildetes unteres Gleitstück 50 abgeschraubt wird. Die Halterung 26 kann dann auf das Tischbein 11 aufgeschoben werden, wobei sie den Kabelkanal 30 festhält. Zwischen der Halterung 26 und dem Gleitstück 50 wird bevorzugt, wie dargestellt, ein Ring 51 aus einem elastischen Werkstoff angebracht, z.B. aus Moosgummi, damit die beiden Halterungen 16 und 26 durch eine elastische Vorspannung in Richtung gegeneinander beaufschlagt sind.The bracket 26 is attached to the table leg 11 by unscrewing its lower slide 50, which is designed as a screw part. The bracket 26 can then be pushed onto the table leg 11, holding the cable duct 30 in place. A ring 51 made of an elastic material, e.g. made of foam rubber, so that the two brackets 16 and 26 are urged against each other by an elastic bias.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist, daß der erfindungsgemäße Kabelkanal 12 zur Montage unter dem Tisch herausgeschwenkt werden kann, wodurch das Hereinlegen oder Herausnehmen von Kabeln außerordentlich vereinfacht wird. Nach der Montage wird dann der Kabelkanal einfach wieder unter den Tisch 10 zurückgeschwenkt, wo er nicht weiter stört.It is particularly advantageous that the cable duct 12 according to the invention can be pivoted out for installation under the table, which greatly simplifies the insertion or removal of cables. After assembly, the cable duct is simply pivoted back under the table 10, where it does not interfere.

Naturgemäß könnten die Teile 49, 50 auch gegen die Außenseite der Öffnung 35 anliegen und würden dann bei der Montage nach außen ausge­lenkt. In gleicher Weise sind weitere Abwandlungen und Modifikationen möglich, ohne den Rahmen der Erfindung zu verlassen.Naturally, the parts 49, 50 could also bear against the outside of the opening 35 and would then be deflected outwards during assembly. In the same way, further modifications and modifications are possible without leaving the scope of the invention.
