Abstract

A working table or desk has a table stand and a table top (2) which is arranged thereon and can be set, in particular, at an incline. The table stand exhibits a fixed cross-member (8) which runs in the longitudinal direction of the table at the top front in the region of the front edge (9) of the table top (2) and forms an upwardly open ledge (11). The cross-member (8) is arranged beneath the table top (2) and has a cross-member rear wall (12) which is connected to the underside of the table top, bears the table top (2) and projects downwardly from the latter. The ledge (11) is fitted, such that it projects forwards, at the lower end of said rear wall. The ledge (11) essentially does not jut out in front of the table top (2), with the result that an essentially vertical ledge opening (14) is formed between the free front edge (13) of the ledge (11) and the front edge (9) of the table top (2). <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Schreib- oder Arbeitstisch mit einem Tischgestell und einer auf diesem angeordneten, insbesondere schrägstellbaren, Tischplatte, wobei das Tischgestell eine vorne oben im Bereich der vorderen Kante der Tischplatte in Tischlängsrichtung verlaufende, feststehende Traverse aufweist, die eine nach oben hin offene Ablagerinne bildet.The invention relates to a desk or work table with a table frame and a table top arranged on it, in particular inclinable, the table frame having a fixed cross member running in the longitudinal direction of the table top at the front in the area of the front edge of the table top, which has an upwardly open storage channel forms.

Bei Schreib- oder Arbeitstischen sollte eine Ablagemöglichkeit für kleine Dinge wie Bleistifte, Radiergummis usw. vorhanden sein. Hierzu ist bei solchen Tischen häufig ein schubladenartiger Auszug mit Ablagemulden vorhanden. Das Einräumen und wieder Herausholen der Kleinteile in den bzw. aus dem schubladenartigen Auszug ist jedoch umständlich, was sich vor allem bei für Kinder und Jugendliche gedachten Tischen häufig so auswirkt, daß die Dinge auf der Tischplatte liegen bleiben. Dies macht einen unordentlichen Eindruck und stört beim Arbeiten.On desks or work tables, there should be a place to store small things like pencils, erasers, etc. For this purpose, there is often a drawer-like pull-out with storage trays in such tables. The storage and retrieval of the small parts in or out of the drawer-like pull-out is cumbersome, which often has an effect, especially on tables designed for children and teenagers, that things remain on the table top. This makes a messy impression and disrupts work.

Um hier Abhilfe zu schaffen, wird in der DE-OS 39 01 822 ein Schreib- oder Arbeitstisch mit den eingangs genannten Merkmalen vorgeschlagen, bei dem die der Stabilität wegen ohnehin vorhandene Traverse als Ablagerinne ausgebildet ist, so daß in ihr die Dinge wie Schreib- und Zeichengeräte abgelegt werden können.To remedy this, DE-OS 39 01 822 proposed a desk or work table with the features mentioned above, in which the crossbar, which is present anyway for stability, is designed as a storage channel, so that things such as writing and drawing devices can be stored in it.

In dem bekannten Falle ist die Traverse der Vorderkante der Tischplatte vorgelagert, was hinsichtlich des Platzbedarfs (der Tisch wird tiefer) und eines bequemen Arbeitens (der Benutzer muß über die Traverse hinweg greifen) nachteilig sein kann.In the known case, the crossmember is located in front of the front edge of the table top, which can be disadvantageous in terms of space requirements (the table becomes lower) and comfortable working (the user must reach over the crossmember).

Ferner weist die bekannte Traverse noch ein der Ablagerinne zugeordnetes Abdeckteil auf, so daß sich die Ablagerinne verschließen läßt. Auf diese Weise kann man die abgelegten Dinge sozusagen unsichtbar verschwinden lassen. Das Abdeckteil erhöht jedoch den Herstellungsaufwand.Furthermore, the known cross member still has a cover part assigned to the storage channel, so that the storage channel can be closed. In this way you can make the stored things disappear, so to speak, invisibly. However, the cover increases the manufacturing effort.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt deshalb die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Schreib- oder Arbeitstisch der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, bei dem die Ablagerinne die Abmessungen der Tischplatte nicht beeinflußt und den Benutzer nicht behindert. Ferner soll nach einer Möglichkeit gesucht werden, wie man in billiger herzustellenden Weise die abgelegten Dinge für den Betrachter wenig auffällig unterbringen kann.The present invention is therefore based on the object to provide a desk or work table of the type mentioned, in which the storage channel does not affect the dimensions of the table top and does not hinder the user. Furthermore, a search should be made for a way in which the things stored can be accommodated in a less conspicuous manner for the viewer in a way that is cheaper to produce.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Traverse unterhalb der Tischplatte angeordnet ist und eine mit der Tischplattenunterseite verbundene, die Tischplatte tragende und von dieser nach unten hin abstehende Traversenrückwand aufweist, an deren unteres Ende die Ablagerinne nach vorne vorstehend angesetzt ist, wobei die Ablagerinne im wesentlichen nicht vor die Tischplatte vorragt, so daß zwischen dem freien vorderen Rand der Ablagerinne und der Vorderkante der Tischplatte eine im wesentlichen vertikale Ablageöffnung gebildet wird.This object is achieved in that the traverse is arranged below the table top and a table top connected to the underside of the table top load-bearing and from this downwardly projecting rear wall of the truss, at the lower end of which the storage tray is attached to the front projecting, the storage tray essentially not protruding in front of the table top, so that between the free front edge of the storage tray and the front edge of the table top essential vertical storage opening is formed.

Da die Traverse somit unterhalb der Tischplatte verläuft und nicht vor diese vorsteht, wird der Benutzer nicht eingeengt und die Tischplattengröße kann unverändert beibehalten werden. Dabei befindet sich die Ablagerinne weiterhin unmittelbar beim Benutzer, so daß sie bequem zugänglich ist. Des weiteren wird die Ablagerinne von der Tischplatte übergriffen, so daß die Ablagerinne nur noch durch die im wesentlichen vertikale Ablageöffnung einsehbar ist. Daher kann auf ein gesondertes Abdeckteil verzichtet werden.Since the traverse runs below the table top and does not protrude in front of it, the user is not restricted and the table top size can be kept unchanged. The tray is still directly at the user, so that it is easily accessible. Furthermore, the tray is overlapped by the table top, so that the tray is only visible through the substantially vertical storage opening. A separate cover part can therefore be dispensed with.

Der Tisch 1 ist vor allem als Schreib- oder Arbeitstisch für Kinder und Jugendliche gedacht. Er weist eine Tischplatte 2 auf, die zwischen einer Horizontallage und einer oder mehreren Schräglagen (in Fig. 2 strichpunktiert angedeutet) verstellbar ist. In der Schräglage erstreckt sich die Tischplatte 2 in Richtung vom Benutzer weg nach hinten oben, so daß beispielsweise das Lesen von Büchern oder das Schreiben erleichtert wird. In der jeweiligen Schräglage wird die Tischplatte 2 durch ein nur grob angedeutetes Beschlagteil 3 gehalten.Table 1 is primarily intended as a desk or work table for children and teenagers. It has a table top 2 which is adjustable between a horizontal position and one or more inclined positions (indicated by dash-dotted lines in FIG. 2). In the inclined position, the table top 2 extends in the direction away from the user backwards, so that, for example, reading books or writing is facilitated. In the respective inclined position, the table top 2 is held by a fitting part 3, which is only roughly indicated.

Es wird bereits jetzt darauf hingewiesen, daß sich die noch zu beschreibende Traverse jedoch auch bei Tischen anwenden läßt, deren Tischplatte nicht schrägstellbar ist. In Zusammenhang mit einer schrägstellbaren Tischplatte kommt ihr jedoch zusätzlich zu der von ihr auf die Tischplatte ausgeübten Tragfunktion und der Ablagefunktion noch die Scharnierfunktion zu, so daß es sich um ein Mehrfunktionsteil handelt.It is already pointed out that the traverse to be described can also be used for tables, whose table top cannot be tilted. In connection with an inclinable table top, however, in addition to the carrying function it exercises on the table top and the storage function, it also has the hinge function, so that it is a multi-function part.

Die Tischplatte 2 ist auf einem Tischgestell oder Tischkorpus angeordnet, das bzw. der je nach Tischart verschieden ausgebildet sein kann. Dabei sind an den Tischenden vertikale wandartige Seitenteile 4 und 5 vorhanden, an denen jeweils ein auf dem Boden stehendes Standgestell 6 bzw. 7 befestigt ist. Die beiden Seitenteile 4,5 sind stabil miteinander in geeigneter Weise verbunden, wobei von diesen Gestellteilen im vorliegenden Zusammenhang nur eine Traverse 8 interessiert, die vorne oben im Bereich der Vorderkante 9 der Tischplatte 2 in Tischlängsrichtung verläuft.The table top 2 is arranged on a table frame or table body, which can be designed differently depending on the type of table. There are vertical wall-like side parts 4 and 5 at the table ends, to each of which a standing frame 6 or 7 is attached to the floor. The two side parts 4, 5 are stably connected to one another in a suitable manner, with only one cross member 8 of these frame parts that is of interest in the present context, which runs in the longitudinal direction of the table top 2 in the area of the front edge 9 of the table top 2.

An dem Tischgestell können in üblicher Weise Kästen mit Schubladen od.dgl. Ablageböden usw. befestigt sein, wie in Fig. 1 angedeutet ist. Außerdem kann mindestens ein den Seitenteilen 4,5 entsprechendes Zwischenteil 10 im mittleren Bereich des Tisches vorhanden sein.On the table frame, boxes with drawers or the like can be used in the usual way. Shelves, etc. can be attached, as indicated in Fig. 1. In addition, at least one intermediate part 10 corresponding to the side parts 4, 5 can be present in the central region of the table.

Die Traverse 8 bildet ein feststehendes Gestellteil und besitzt somit eine tragende Funktion. Sie besteht zweckmäßigerweise aus Metall, wobei prinzipiell jedoch auch andere Materialien mit ausreichender Festigkeit, so insbesondere ein Hartkunststoff, in Frage kommen.The cross member 8 forms a fixed frame part and thus has a supporting function. It expediently consists of metal, but in principle other materials with sufficient strength, in particular a hard plastic, can also be used.

Die Traverse 8 ist unterhalb der Tischplatte 2 angeordnet und bildet gleichzeitig eine nach oben hin offene Ablagerinne 11 zum Ablegen von Schreib- und Zeichengeräten oder sonstigen kleinen Gegenständen. Die Ablagerinne 11 erstreckt sich wie die Traverse 8 über die gesamte Tischlänge. Die Traverse 8 enthält ferner eine Traversenrückwand 12, die die Tischplatte 2 trägt und mit deren Unterseite verbunden ist, wobei sie von der Tischplattenunterseite nach unten hin absteht. An das untere Ende der Traversenrückwand 12 ist die Ablagerinne 11 nach vorne vorstehend angesetzt. Dabei ist die Anordnung insgesamt so getroffen, daß die Ablagerinne 11 an der Benutzerseite im wesentlichen nicht vor die Tischplatten-Vorderkante 9 vorragt, so daß zwischen dem freien vorderen Rand 13 der Ablagerinne 11 und der Vorderkante 9 der Tischplatte eine im wesentlichen vertikale Ablageöffnung 14 gebildet wird. Die Ablagerinne 11 wird also oben mit Abstand von der Tischplatte 2 übergriffen und ist von der Benutzerseite her durch die im wesentlichen vertikale Ablageöffnung 14 hindurch zugänglich.The crossbeam 8 is arranged below the table top 2 and at the same time forms a storage channel 11 which is open at the top for storing writing and drawing devices or other small objects. The storage channel 11 extends like the crossbar 8 over the entire table length. The crossmember 8 also contains a crossmember rear wall 12 which supports the table top 2 and is connected to the underside thereof, whereby it projects downwards from the underside of the table top. At the lower end of the traverse rear wall 12, the storage channel 11 is projecting forward. The overall arrangement is such that the storage channel 11 does not protrude substantially from the front of the table top 9 on the user side, so that a substantially vertical storage opening 14 is formed between the free front edge 13 of the storage channel 11 and the front edge 9 of the table top becomes. The storage channel 11 is thus overlapped at a distance from the table top 2 and is accessible from the user side through the essentially vertical storage opening 14.

Die Traversenrückwand 12 und die Ablagerinne 11 gehen zweckmäßigerweise einstückig ineinander über. Dabei ist vorgesehen, daß die Traverse 8 ein Metallblechbiegeteil oder ein abgelängtes Metallprofilteil mit an die Traversenrückwand 12 angeformter Ablagerinne 11 ist.The traverse rear wall 12 and the storage channel 11 advantageously merge into one another. It is provided that the cross member 8 is a sheet metal bent part or a cut-to-length metal profile part with a storage channel 11 integrally formed on the cross member rear wall 12.

Wie aus der Zeichnung hervorgeht, ist bei der bevorzugten Ausführungsform des weiteren vorgesehen, daß die Traversenrückwand 12 von der Rückseite der Ablagerinne 11 ausgehend schräg nach vorne oben über der Ablagerinne 11 zur Tischplattenunterseite verläuft. Dies ist insbesondere dann von Vorteil, wenn die Tischplatte 2 wie beim Ausführungsbeispiel schrägstellbar ist. Die für das Schrägstellen der Tischplatte erforderliche Scharnierachse 15, um die die Tischplatte 2 schwenkbar ist, ist nämlich zweckmäßigerweise am oberen Längsrand der Traversenrückwand 12 angeordnet. Durch den schrägen Verlauf der Traversenrückwand 12 kann die Scharnierachse 15 verhältnismäßig weit nach vorne in Richtung zur Tischplattenvorderkante 9 hin gelegt werden. Dies hat einen entsprechend kurzen Überstand der Tischplatte vor die Scharnierachse 15 zur Folge, so daß die Vorderkante 9 beim Schrägstellen der Tischplatte 2 nur um einen geringen Betrag nach unten zur Rinne 11 hin schwenkt und der Zugriff zum von der Ablagerinne gebildeten Ablageraum 16, d.h. die Ablageöffnung 14, nicht eingeengt wird.As can be seen from the drawing, it is further provided in the preferred embodiment that the traverse rear wall 12 is inclined starting from the rear of the storage channel 11 runs upwards above the storage channel 11 to the underside of the table top. This is particularly advantageous if the table top 2 can be inclined, as in the exemplary embodiment. The hinge axis 15 required for tilting the table top, about which the table top 2 can be pivoted, is expediently arranged on the upper longitudinal edge of the cross member rear wall 12. Due to the oblique course of the traverse rear wall 12, the hinge axis 15 can be placed relatively far forward in the direction of the front edge 9 of the table top. This has a correspondingly short protrusion of the table top in front of the hinge axis 15, so that the front edge 9 pivots when tilting the table top 2 only a small amount down to the channel 11 and access to the storage space formed by the storage channel 16, that is Storage opening 14, is not restricted.

Von der Scharnierachse 15 steht noch eine über die Scharnierachse gelenkig mit der Traversenrückwand 12 verbundene Befestigungsplatte 17 od.dgl. ab, die an der Tischplattenunterseite befestigt und dabei zweckmäßigerweise angeschraubt ist. Die Befestigungsplatte 17 od.dgl. erstreckt sich von der Scharnierachse 15 aus nach hinten.From the hinge axis 15 there is also a fastening plate 17 or the like which is articulated via the hinge axis to the cross-member rear wall 12. from which is attached to the underside of the table top and is conveniently screwed on. The mounting plate 17 or the like. extends from the hinge axis 15 to the rear.

Vor allem in dem Falle, wenn die Traverse 8 von einem dünnwandigen Metallteil gebildet wird, ist es zweckmäßig, dem freien vorderen Rand 13 eine auf ihn aufzusteckende und ihn abdeckende Randleiste 18 zuzuordnen. Eine solche Randleiste 18 kann durch ihre Form und Farbe den optischen Eindruck des Schreibtischs verbessern. Außerdem kann man sich an den evtl. verhältnismäßig scharfkantigen Rinnenrand 13 nicht mehr verletzen.Especially in the case when the traverse 8 is formed by a thin-walled metal part, it is expedient to assign an edge strip 18 to be plugged onto and covering the free front edge 13. Such an edge strip 18 can by its shape and color the visual impression of Improve your desk. In addition, you can no longer injure yourself on the possibly relatively sharp-edged channel edge 13.

Die Randleiste 18 kann aus jedem gewünschten Material bestehen. Eine besonders billige und dabei trotzdem gut aussehende Randleiste ergibt sich dadurch, daß sie von einem geschlitzten Schlauchstück aus Kunststoff gebildet wird, wie es beim Ausführungsbeispiel der Fall ist.The edge strip 18 can consist of any desired material. A particularly cheap and yet good-looking edge strip results from the fact that it is formed by a slotted piece of hose made of plastic, as is the case with the exemplary embodiment.

Damit die Randleiste 18 nicht zum Benutzer hin abgezogen werden kann, ist der Rinnenrand 13 durch Zurückbiegen der freien Randkante 19 verdickt ausgebildet, wobei die freie Randkante 19 von der geschlitzten Leiste, die in Längsrichtung der Ablagerinne aufgesteckt wird, hintergriffen wird.So that the edge strip 18 cannot be pulled off towards the user, the groove edge 13 is made thickened by bending back the free edge edge 19, the free edge edge 19 being gripped by the slotted strip which is slipped on in the longitudinal direction of the storage groove.

Um eine möglichst stabile Verbindung der Traverse 8 mit den Seitenteilen 4,5 zu erhalten, können die Seitenteile 4,5 an ihrer Oberseite eine an die Außenkontur der Ablagerinne 11 angepaßte Ausnehmung 20 aufweisen, in die die Ablagerinne 11 formschlüssig einsitzt. Dies gilt auch für das evtl. vorhandene Zwischenteil 11. Die Traverse 8 weist an der Stelle des jeweiligen Seiten- oder Zwischenteils 4,5 bzw. 10 eine die Ablagerinne 11 durchdringende Befestigungsbohrung 21 auf, durch die hindurch eine die Traverse fest mit dem Tischgestell verbindende Befestigungsschraube 22 in das betreffende Gestellteil 4,5 bzw. 10 eingeschraubt werden kann.Selbstverständlich kann die Verbindung auch durch mehr als eine Schraube hergestellt werden.In order to obtain the most stable possible connection of the crossbeam 8 with the side parts 4, 5, the side parts 4, 5 can have on their upper side a recess 20 adapted to the outer contour of the storage channel 11, in which the storage channel 11 is seated in a form-fitting manner. This also applies to the intermediate part 11 that may be present. At the location of the respective side or intermediate part 4, 5 or 10, the crossmember 8 has a fastening bore 21 which penetrates the storage channel 11 and through which a crossbar firmly connects the crossmember to the table frame Fastening screw 22 can be screwed into the relevant frame part 4, 5 or 10. Of course, the connection can also be made by more than one screw.

An den Endender Ablagerinne 11 kann ein den Ablageraum 16 abschließendes Endstück 23 in die Rinne 11 eingesetzt sein, dessen Unterseite der Innenkontur der Ablagerinne 11 entsprechend konturiert ist. Das Endstück 23 weist mindestens eine von der Endstückoberseite 24 her zugängliche Befestigungsbohrung 25 auf, mit deren Hilfe das Endstück angeschraubt werden kann. Dabei ist es zweckmäßig, zu diesem Anschrauben die schon erwähnte Befestigungsschraube 22 zu verwenden, die von oben her durch die Befestigungsbohrung 25 des Endstücks 23 eingesteckt wird und dabei auch die Befestigungsbohrung 21 der Ablagerinne 11 durchgreift.At the ends of the storage channel 11, an end piece 23 that closes the storage space 16 can be inserted into the channel 11, the underside of which is contoured correspondingly to the inside of the storage channel 11. The end piece 23 has at least one fastening bore 25 which is accessible from the end piece upper side 24 and by means of which the end piece can be screwed on. It is expedient to use the already mentioned fastening screw 22 for this screwing, which is inserted from above through the fastening bore 25 of the end piece 23 and thereby also penetrates the fastening bore 21 of the storage channel 11.

Des guten Aussehens wegen ist auf die Endstück-Oberseite 24 eine die Befestigungsbohrung 25 abdeckende Abdeckplatte 26 od. dgl. aufrastbar. Wie aus Fig. 5 hervorgeht, können hierzu von der Unterseite der Abdeckplatte 26 Rastvorsprünge 27 mit einem Rastzahn vorstehen, der hinter einer im Inneren des Endstücks 23 ausgebildeten Rastnase 28 einrastet. Es versteht sich, daß das Verrasten auch in anderer Weise als dargestellt erfolgen kann.Because of the good appearance, a cover plate 26 or the like covering the fastening bore 25 can be snapped onto the upper side 24 of the end piece. As can be seen from FIG. 5, for this purpose locking projections 27 can protrude from the underside of the cover plate 26 with a locking tooth which engages behind a locking lug 28 formed in the interior of the end piece 23. It is understood that the locking can also be done in a different way than shown.

Eine besonders einfache Montage erhält man dadurch, daß das Endstück 23 und die Abdeckplatte 26 od.dgl. aus Kunststoff bestehen und an einem ihrer Enden über ein einstückig angeformtes Filmscharnier 29 miteinander verbunden sind. Das Anbringen der Befestigungsschraube 22 erfolgt bei hochgeklappter Abdeckplatte. Ist die Schraube 22 festgedreht, schwenkt man die Abdeckplatte 26 einfach nach unten, wobei sie aufgrund des Filmscharniers 29 automatisch die richtige Lage einnimmt.A particularly simple assembly is obtained in that the end piece 23 and the cover plate 26 or the like. consist of plastic and are connected to one another at one of their ends via an integrally formed film hinge 29. The attachment screw 22 is attached with the cover plate folded up. If the screw 22 is tightened, the cover plate 26 is simply pivoted downward, and it automatically assumes the correct position due to the film hinge 29.

Vor allem aus optischen Gründen kann an der Außenseite der Endstücke 23 noch eine das betreffende Endstück und die Stirnseite der Ablagerinne 11 überdeckende Endplatte 30 od.dgl. befestigt sein. Dieses Befestigen kann beispielsweise dadurch erfolgen, daß an die Endplatte 30 zum Endstück 23 hin gerichtete Steckzapfen 31 vorstehen, die in entsprechende Zapfenlöcher 32 an der Außenseite des Endstücks 23 fest sitzend eingedrückt werden.Above all for optical reasons, an end plate 30 or the like covering the relevant end piece and the end face of the storage channel 11 can be provided on the outside of the end pieces 23. be attached. This fastening can take place, for example, by projecting plug pins 31 directed towards the end plate 30 towards the end piece 23, which are pressed firmly into corresponding pin holes 32 on the outside of the end piece 23.
