Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a new modular construction system for office furniture such as, in particular, that described in European Patent EP-A-504533, this arrangement targeting the means for guiding and connecting all of the supply conductors various electrical devices distributed over a work surface, such as lighting fixtures, telephones, computer equipment and the like.
  • the solution proposed according to the present invention consists in taking advantage of one of the elements of a modular construction system as recalled above to create, at the level of the work surface, a removable and interchangeable common connector, of convenient access without affecting the aesthetics of said element.
  • the element referred to in the present invention is the column originally intended to form, on a lower fraction of its height, a support for the angle of a tray fulfilling the function of the worktop, and above this level of support, access to the material supply conductors arranged on this plate.
  • the connection sockets of said equipment to said conductors are simply provided on the front face of the column, that is to say fixed and not concealed.
  • the front face preferably associated with the horizontal cover at the top of the vertical column, is purely decorative, and mounted sliding on the rear walls of the column along vertical slides formed on the edges front of these walls, while all of the aforementioned conductors are joined to a single connection block constituting a drawer mounted to slide vertically in the rear corner of the column, so that it can be removed and possibly replaced depending on the number and of the nature of said conductors.
  • the invention relates to a column designated by the general reference C and having the following geometry: On the lower portion of its height, it consists of a vertical prism with a square base (1), then on the upper portion, it consists of a prism with a triangular base (2), leaving a triangular section (3) serving as support at an angle of a plate (4), in a known manner.
  • the prism (2) consists of a pair of fixed rear walls (5, 5 ') and a sliding part ( Figure 2a) comprising a front face (6) and a cover (7).
  • the part (6 - 7) slides vertically in slides (8, 8 ') formed in vertical edges before the faces (5, 5'), so as to completely seal the volume of said triangular prism.
  • the front (6) and / or the cover (7) may include decorative patterns.
  • the interior of the triangular prism (2) is arranged so as to serve as a housing for a block of electrical connections which is mounted therein sliding vertically so that it can be removed for modifications or repairs.
  • connection block consists of two vertical plane wings 10, 10 'covering the fixed walls 5, 5' of the prism, and coming to be embedded in this prism by sliding its front edges 11, 11 'in vertical slides 12, 12' made in the vertical edges of the faces 5, 5 ', behind the slides 8, 8' used for the establishment of the facade 6 , 7.
  • the connection block consists of two vertical plane wings 10, 10 'covering the fixed walls 5, 5' of the prism, and coming to be embedded in this prism by sliding its front edges 11, 11 'in vertical slides 12, 12' made in the vertical edges of the faces 5, 5 ', behind the slides 8, 8' used for the establishment of the facade 6 , 7.
  • outlets 14, 14', 14 '' ... adapted to the materials distributed on the plate 4, and supplied by the corresponding conductors 15, coming from sockets located at the base of the prism 1.
  • connection block can easily be removed by lifting it by horizontal flanges 16, 16 ', accessible when the front panel 6,7 is removed.
  • connection block 20 shown extracted from the prism 2 in FIG. 7, has the form of a simple ordinary multiple socket, also connected to the supply conductors 26. It is also slidably mounted in vertical slides 22, 22 'made towards the rear of the angle formed by the faces 5, 5' of the prism and it is equipped with an extraction handle 23.
  • the block of Figures 6 - 7 can take the entire height of the column C, as illustrated in 21 to FIG. 8, to receive a whole series of conductors 22 supplying for example telephones (represented at 23, 23 ′), a computer (at 24), an HV socket (at 25), ordinary sockets (at 25 ’, 25 '') and the like.
