Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Bausatz zur Herstellung eines Büro-Arbeitstisches, mit den im Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1 genannten Merkmalen. Ein Bausatz dieser Art ist aus der FR-A-2 490 941 bekannt.The invention relates to a kit for producing an office work table, with the features mentioned in the preamble of claim 1. A kit of this type is known from FR-A-2 490 941.

Nach der oben genannten Schrift sind für verschieden auszugestaltende Büro-Arbeitstische verschiedenartige Verbindungsstücke erforderlich. Nach der vorliegenden Erfindung sollen dagegen die gleichen Verbindungsstücke in vielfältiger Weise verwendet werden können. Einerseits sollen sie dazu dienen, Tragbalken mit lotrechten Stützen zu verbinden. Die gleichen Verbindungsstücke sollen aber auch zur Befestigung von Tragarmen dienen können, die die Tischplatten tragen. Dabei soll eine Einstellung unterschiedlicher Höhenlagen der Tischplatten ermöglicht werden. Ferner sollen die gleichen Verbindungsstücke zur Aufnahme von Aufbauten dienen können, die nach oben über die Tischplatte hinausragen, auch dies in verschiedener Weise: Einerseits durch Eingriff von Stützarmen, die die Aufbauten tragen; andererseits sollen Abdeckplatten der Verbindungsstücke zum Tragen anderer Aufbauten verwendet werden können.According to the above-mentioned document, different types of connecting pieces are required for differently designed office work tables. According to the present invention, however, the same connectors should be used in many ways. On the one hand, they should serve to connect supporting beams with vertical supports. The same connectors should also be used to attach support arms that support the table tops. This should enable the table tops to be set at different heights. Furthermore, the same connecting pieces are intended to be able to accommodate structures which protrude upward above the table top, in different ways as well: on the one hand through the engagement of support arms which support the structures; on the other hand, cover plates of the connecting pieces should be able to be used to support other structures.

All dies zugleich wird durch die Erfindung nach Anspruch 1 erreicht.All of this is achieved by the invention according to claim 1.

Durch zwei Seitenwangen des Unterteils der Verbindungsstücke wird ein quer zur Längsrichtung des zugehörigen Tragbalkens verlaufender Kanal gebildet, der nach unten offen ist. Dieser Kanal kann wahlweise zur Aufnahme des oberen Endes einer Stütze dienen und somit die Verbindung von Stütze und Tragbalken herstellen. Andererseits kann der Kanal an anderen Verbindungsstücken gleicher Art den Endabschnitt eines Stützarmes für weitere Teile aufnehmen.A channel running transversely to the longitudinal direction of the associated supporting beam is formed by two side walls of the lower part of the connecting pieces and is open at the bottom. This channel can optionally be used to receive the upper end of a support and thus establish the connection between the support and the support beam. On the other hand, the channel can receive the end section of a support arm for other parts at other connecting pieces of the same type.

Mit dem Bausatz nach der Erfindung lassen sich Tische verschiedener Größen und Formen herstellen. Durch an sich bekannte Mittel lassen sich die Tische miteinander vereinigen, und zwar in gerader Fortsetzung oder unter Winkeln.With the kit according to the invention, tables of various sizes and shapes can be produced. The tables can be combined with one another by means known per se, in a straight continuation or at angles.

Ein Bausatz zur Herstellung eines Büro-Arbeitstisches ist ferner aus der DE-A-8 619 968 bekannt. Hiernach werden für eine Tischplatte zwei Tragbalken verwendet. Entsprechende flügelförmige Tragarme, die an diesen Tragbalken zu befestigen sind, halten deren gegenseitigen Abstand ein und tragen die Tischplatte. Diese Tragarme haben aber keine sonstige Bedeutung, dienen nicht zum Aufnehmen der Oberenden der Stützen und auch nicht zum Aufnehmen von Stützarmen für Zusatzteile und/oder Aufbauten. Im Gegensatz zur vorliegenden Erfindung sind also nicht Verbindungsstücke vorgesehen, deren Unterteile in vielfacher Weise verwendbar sind.A kit for producing an office work table is also known from DE-A-8 619 968. According to this, two supporting beams are used for a table top. Corresponding wing-shaped support arms, which are to be fastened to these support beams, keep their mutual distance and carry the table top. However, these support arms have no other meaning, they are not used to receive the upper ends of the supports and also not to receive support arms for additional parts and / or structures. In contrast to the present invention, connecting pieces are therefore not provided, the lower parts of which can be used in many ways.

Weiterbildungen der ErfindungDevelopments of the invention

ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.result from the subclaims.

Vorzugsweise hat das den Tragbalken bildende Profilrohr einen rechteckigen Querschnitt. So ergibt sich ein Profilrohr, das einerseits keine vorstehenden Rippen und dergleichen hat, somit besser aussieht, andererseits aber die nötige Formsteifigkeit gegen Verwinden hat und die anzubringenden Teile gegen Verdrehen gut sichern kann.The profile tube forming the supporting beam preferably has a rectangular cross section. The result is a profiled tube which, on the one hand, has no protruding ribs and the like, thus looks better, but on the other hand has the necessary rigidity against twisting and can secure the parts to be attached against twisting.

Ein Verbindungsstück, das sich außerhalb einer Tischplatte, zum Beispiel oberhalb einer Stütze befindet, kann seinerseits zum Tragen von Aufbauten, zum Beispiel eines Schwenkarmes für eine Schale oder dergleichen dienen.A connecting piece, which is located outside a table top, for example above a support, can in turn be used to support structures, for example a swivel arm for a shell or the like.

Es kann ein wagerechter Kabelkanal vorgesehen sein, der an der Rückseite eines Tragbalkens angeordnet ist und eine Rinne als Hauptteil aufweist, die durch einen Klappdeckel zu schließen ist, jedoch nicht ganz, so daß ein Spalt verbleibt, der durch eine Reihe von Borsten geschlossen ist. Durch die Borsten hindurch können Kabel aus dem Kabelkanal ins Freie geführt werden.A horizontal cable duct can be provided, which is arranged on the back of a supporting beam and has a gutter as the main part, which can be closed by a hinged cover, but not entirely, so that a gap remains, which is closed by a series of bristles. Cables can be led outside through the bristles from the cable duct.

Der Kabelkanal läßt sich an der Rückseite der Unterteile der Verbindungsstücke anbringen.The cable duct can be attached to the back of the lower parts of the connecting pieces.

Die Tischplatten lassen sich von vorn nach hinten verschiebbar anordnen, derart, daß bei vorgezogener Tischplatte die Klappe des Kabelkanals sich öffnen läßt und daß andererseits die Tischplatte über den geschlossenen Klappdeckel zu schieben ist, wobei jedoch die Borstenreihe zugänglich bleibt. Zum reibungsarmen Bewegen der Tischplatte können Teleskopschienen vorgesehen sein.The table tops can be slidably arranged from the front to the rear in such a way that when the table top is pulled forward the flap of the cable duct can be opened and that on the other hand the table top can be pushed over the closed hinged cover, but the row of bristles remains accessible. Telescopic rails can be provided for low-friction movement of the table top.

Durch Anschlagwinkel, die an der Unterseite der Tischplatte angebracht sind, läßt sich einerseits das Rückwärtsverschieben der Tischplatte begrenzen, so daß die Borstenreihe zugänglich bleibt, andererseits verhindern, daß die Tischplatte unter einer Last nach vorn kippt.By means of stop angles which are attached to the underside of the table top, on the one hand the backward movement of the table top can be limited so that the row of bristles remains accessible, and on the other hand prevent the table top from tipping forward under a load.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird anhand eines Arbeitstisches mit rechteckiger Tischplatte 2 beschrieben, wobei die Tischplatte eine Breite hat, die etwas, nach Figur 11 sehr viel kleiner ist als die Länge eines zugehörigen Tragbalkens 4.An embodiment of the invention is described with reference to a work table with a rectangular table top 2, the table top having a width which, according to FIG. 11, is somewhat smaller than the length of an associated support beam 4.

Tragbalken können unter Winkeln aneinander gesetzt werden, und es können dementsprechend Tischplatten anderer als rechteckiger Form verwendet werden, Mehreckform, Trapezform und anderes, was an sich bekannt ist und daher hier nicht beschrieben wird.Support beams can be placed at angles, and accordingly table tops other than rectangular can be used, polygonal shape, trapezoidal shape and other things which are known per se and are therefore not described here.

Die Figuren 1, 3, 4 und B zeigen die Tischplatte 2, den zugehörigen Tragbalken 4 in Form eines Rohres von rechteckigem Querschnitt, sowie Stützen 6, ebenfalls in Form von Rechteckrohren und daran unten befestigte Fußausleger 8. Der Tragbalken 4 ist mit den Stützen 6 durch je ein Verbindungsstück 10 fest verbunden. Das Verbindungsstück hat, wie die Figuren 5 und 6 zeigen, einen Unterteil 12. Der Unterteil hat eine der Querschnittsform des Tragbalkens angepaßte, hier rechteckige, oben offene Ausnehmung 14, in die mit Spiel ein Tragbalken 4 gerade hinein paßt. Der Unterteil läßt sich durch eine ebene rechteckige Abdeckplatte 16 abdecken, die sich mit dem Unterteil 12 verschrauben läßt, wozu in diesem Gewindeborungen 18 vorgesehen sind. Anstelle der Abdeckplatte 16 kann das rückwärtige Ende eines Tragbalkens 20 mit dem Unterteil verschraubt sein, wie es Figur 7 zeigt. Der Tragbalken 20 seinerseits nimmt die Tischplatte auf. Zur Änderung der Höhenlage der Tischplatte lassen sich zwischen das rückwärtige Ende des Tragbalkens 20 und den Unterteil 12 ebene Distanzplatten 56 verschiedener Hohe einfügen, was Figur 12 zeigt.Figures 1, 3, 4 and B show the table top 2, the associated support beam 4 in the form of a tube of rectangular cross-section, and supports 6, also in the form of rectangular tubes and foot brackets 8 attached below. The support beam 4 is with the supports 6 firmly connected by a connector 10 each. The connecting piece, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, has a lower part 12. The lower part has a recess 14, here rectangular, which is open at the top and is adapted to the cross-sectional shape of the supporting beam, into which a supporting beam 4 just fits with play. The lower part can be covered by a flat rectangular cover plate 16 which can be screwed to the lower part 12, for which purpose threaded holes 18 are provided. Instead of the cover plate 16, the rear end of a support beam 20 can be screwed to the lower part, as shown in FIG. 7. The support beam 20 in turn receives the table top. Leave to change the height of the table top insert flat spacer plates 56 of different heights between the rear end of the support beam 20 and the lower part 12, as shown in FIG.

Die Tragbalken lassen sich durch Abdeckscheiben 50 verschließen.The supporting beams can be closed by cover disks 50.

Der Unterteil 12 hat zwei nach unten vorstehende Seitenwangen 22, die zueinander parallel verlaufen und in der Ansicht nach Figur 5 die Form flacher Dreiecke haben. Zwischen ihnen ergibt sich ein unten offener Kanal 24, der zwei Funktionen hat. Wie die Figuren 1 bis 4 zeigen, kann dieser Kanal das obere Ende einer Stütze 6 aufnehmen oder, wie es die Figuren 3, 4 und 7 zeigen, den Endabschnitt eines Stützarmes 26, der zum Tragen von Aufbauten dient.The lower part 12 has two side cheeks 22 which project downward and run parallel to one another and, in the view according to FIG. 5, have the shape of flat triangles. Between them there is a channel 24 which is open at the bottom and has two functions. As shown in Figures 1 to 4, this channel can receive the upper end of a support 6 or, as shown in Figures 3, 4 and 7, the end portion of a support arm 26, which serves to support structures.

Mit Stützen 6 wird der Unterteil 12 durch von oben eingedrehte Schrauben befestigt, mit einem Stützarm 26 durch von unten eingedrehte Schrauben, wozu im Unterteil die jeweils passenden Gewindebohrungen 18 und andere vorgesehen sind.With supports 6, the lower part 12 is fastened by screws screwed in from above, with a support arm 26 by screws screwed in from below, for which purpose the appropriate threaded bores 18 and others are provided in the lower part.

Wie Figur 3 rechts zeigt, kann am Stützarm 26 ein Ansatzarm 28 befestigt sein, der eine rückwärtige Zusatzplatte 30 trägt. Diese kann sich auf gleicher Höhe wie die Tischplatte 2 befinden. Zusätzlich können die Stützarme 26 ein Brett 32 (Figur 2) als Bestandteil eines rückwärtigen Aufbaus tragen. An dem Brett können weitere Zusatzelemente, zum Beispiel eine flache Ablageschale 34 befestigt sein.As shown in FIG. 3 on the right, an extension arm 28 can be attached to the support arm 26, which carries a rear additional plate 30. This can be at the same height as the table top 2. In addition, the support arms 26 can carry a board 32 (Figure 2) as part of a rear structure. Further additional elements, for example a flat storage tray 34, can be attached to the board.

Wie es Figur 11, zeigt kann der Tragbalken 4 unter dem linken Ende der Tischplatte 2 hervorragen, so daß dort Platz zum Anbringen von Zusatzelementen verbleibt. Das obere Ende der linken Stütze 6 greift in den Kanal 24 (Figur 6) des Unterteils 12 eines Zwischenelements ein und wird gegen Verkippen durch die beiden Seitenwangen 22 gesichert. Die Abdeckplatte 16 trägt hier eine kurze Säule 36, auf der das rückwärtige Ende eines Schwenkarmes 38 drehbar gelagert ist. Der Schwenkarm kann an seinem hier nicht dargestellten rechten Ende eine Schale zur Aufnahme eines Telefonapparates, Bildschirmgerätes oder dergleichen tragen.As shown in Figure 11, the support beam 4 can protrude from the left end of the table top 2, so that there remains space for attaching additional elements. The upper end of the left support 6 engages in the channel 24 (FIG. 6) of the lower part 12 of an intermediate element and is secured against tilting by the two side cheeks 22. The cover plate 16 here carries a short column 36 on which the rear end of a swivel arm 38 is rotatably mounted. At its right end, not shown here, the swivel arm can carry a shell for receiving a telephone, monitor or the like.

Der Arbeitstisch kann mit Kabelkanälen ausgestattet werden, was aber nur eine mögliche Variante darstellt. Die Figuren 1, 2, 3 und 8 bis 10 zeigen einen rückwärtigen, waagerechten Kabelkanal 40, der aus einer Rinne 42 und einem an dem vorderen Rand der Rinne angelenkten Klappdeckel 44. gebildet wird. Die Rinne hat einen im wesentlichen rechteckigen Querschnitt, wobei jedoch ihre rückwärtige Unterseite etwas abgeschrägt ist, nämlich passend zur Form der Stützarme 26. Die Rinne 42 des waagerechten Kabelkanals wird von hinten an die Unterteile 12 der Verbindungsstücke geschraubt (Figuren 9 und 10). An ihrem rückwärtigen Rande hat die Rinne eine Reihe von Borsten 46. An ihren Enden läßt sie sich durch Endkappen 48 abdecken.The work table can be equipped with cable ducts, but this is only one possible variant. Figures 1, 2, 3 and 8 to 10 show a rear, horizontal cable duct 40, which is formed from a groove 42 and a hinged lid 44 hinged to the front edge of the groove. The trough has a substantially rectangular cross section, but its rear underside is slightly bevelled, namely to match the shape of the support arms 26. The trough 42 of the horizontal cable duct is screwed from behind to the lower parts 12 of the connecting pieces (FIGS. 9 and 10). At its rear edge, the channel has a series of bristles 46. At its ends, it can be covered by end caps 48.

Der Klappdeckel 44 läßt sich gegen den rückwärtigen Rand der Tischplatte 2 aufklappen, wie es Figur 9 zeigt. Die Tischplatte befindet sich dann in einer vorderen Stellung. Der Klappdeckel läßt sich in eine waagerechte Lage umklappen, wobei dann nur noch die Reihe Borsten 46 von oben zugänglich bleibt. Durch diese Borsten lassen sich Kabel 52 ins Freie herrausführen. Die Tischplatte läßt sich in eine rückwärtige Lage bringen, in der sie den Kabelkanal bis auf die Borstenreihe abdeckt, wie es Figur 3 zeigt. Die Tischplatte ist an Teleskopschienen 54 so gelagert, daß sie von vorn nach hinten verschoben werden kann. Die Teleskopschienen 54 befinden sich zwischen Tischplatte und Tragarmen 20 (Figur 12) (ZEICHNER !). Figur 12 zeigt ferner, daß die Tischplatte 2 relativ hoch oberhalb des Tragbalkens 4 angeordnet ist, was durch Distanzplatten 56 (ZEICHNER ! ) geschehen ist, die zwischen das obere Ende des Unterteils 12 eines Verbindungsstückes und das rückwärtige Ende eines Tragbalkens 20 eingefügt sind.The hinged lid 44 can be opened against the rear edge of the table top 2, as shown in FIG. 9. The table top is then in a front position. The hinged lid can be folded down into a horizontal position, in which case only the row of bristles 46 remains accessible from above. These bristles allow cables 52 to be led outside. The table top can be brought into a rearward position in which it covers the cable duct up to the row of bristles, as shown in FIG. 3. The table top is mounted on telescopic rails 54 so that it can be moved from front to back. The telescopic rails 54 are located between the table top and support arms 20 (FIG. 12) (DRAWER!). Figure 12 also shows that the table top 2 is arranged relatively high above the support beam 4, which has been done by spacer plates 56 (DRAWER!), Which are inserted between the upper end of the lower part 12 of a connecting piece and the rear end of a support beam 20.

Unten an der Tischplatte sind Anschlagwinkel 58 befestigt, von denen Figur 12 den linken zeigt. In der dort dargestellten hinteren Endstellung der Tischplatte 2 schlägt der lotrechte Arm des Anschlagwinkels 58 am Tragbalken 4 an und begrenzt somit die Rückwärtsverschiebung der Tischplatte. Ein unterer waagerechter Abschnitt 60 des Anschlagwinkels untergreift den Tragbalken 4 und sichert dadurch die Tischplatte 2 dagegen, daß ihre vordere Seite nach unten kippt, wenn sie vorne durch schwere Geräte oder eine darauf sitzende Person belastet wird.Stop brackets 58 are attached to the bottom of the table top, of which FIG. 12 shows the left one. In the rear end position of the table top 2 shown there, the vertical arm of the stop bracket 58 strikes the support beam 4 and thus limits the backward displacement of the table top. A lower horizontal section 60 engages under the stop angle the support beam 4 and thereby secures the table top 2 against the fact that its front side tilts down when it is loaded in the front by heavy equipment or a person sitting on it.

Es können an sich bekannte lotrechte Kabelkanäle 62 vorgesehen sein, die eine Mittelwand 64 und beiderseits aufschnappbare Abdeckschalen 66 haben, von denen nach Figur 10 die äußere abgenommen und neben die Stütze 6 gestellt ist.Known vertical cable ducts 62 can be provided which have a central wall 64 and cover shells 66 which can be snapped on both sides, of which the outer one is removed according to FIG. 10 and placed next to the support 6.
