Definitions

  • the present invention relates to improvements made to furniture comprising a variable level worktop of the type consisting of a fixed lower portion and an upper portion movable in height, the vertical difference between said portions resulting from the relative position d 'at least a pair of parallel inclined planes, respectively integral with said portions.
  • Such furniture is known in principle and usually finds its application in the field of drawing tables and the like.
  • the invention relates to new arrangements for these pieces of furniture with a view to widening their field of application, in particular to office desks, by means of new means for adjusting the height of the worktop and its immobilization in any relative position by compared to a lower base, by simple, inexpensive and aesthetic means.
  • said slider is preferably a captive nut in a slide made in said rib
  • said locking means consist of a bolt which is permanently screwed but to a variable degree in this nut and the head of which is accessible from above. said upper portion, the unscrewing of this bolt allowing said portions to be displaced by sliding the two inclined planes relative to each other, said pin being outside of said housings and its screwing determining their blocking in any position, said pin being inserted in one of said dwellings.
  • the axes of said housings, of the dowel and of said bolt are mutually parallel and perpendicular to said inclined planes, and said rib is formed in said lower portion, and in said rib is screwed a plate comprising said housings and the trapping slide the nut, while in the upper portion having the groove is on the one hand screwed a plate to which said dowel is welded, and on the other hand made a passage for said bolt, so that the head of the latter is accessible from outside the upper portion of the cabinet.
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of a desk table arranged according to the invention to include several worktables with adjustable level.
  • Figure 2 is a side view illustrating the mounting of the work surface according to the invention.
  • Figure 3 illustrates in perspective the elements of the adjustment mechanism, in the assembled state.
  • Figure 4 illustrates the same elements in a separate state.
  • Figure 5 is a longitudinal section showing the cooperation between said elements.
  • Figures 6, 7 and 8 are cross sections along VI, VII, VIII of Figure 5.
  • the desk table has two work planes of perpendicular orientation A and B joined by a tray of angle C.
  • Each zone A or B has a fixed lower portion 1 playing the role of a base, and an upper portion 2 carrying the horizontal work surface H adjustable in height according to the needs of the user.
  • this system therefore consists of a couple of inclined planes, one designated by 3, being practiced on the top of the base 4 and the other, designated by 5, made on the underside of the upper portion 2 carrying the work surface H.
  • the inclined planes 3 and 5 are parallel and slide one over the other, determining the distance variable between portions 1 and 2.
  • a light 10 forming a longitudinal slide in which can slide a captive nut 11, permanently screwed, but to a variable degree, on the front end of a bolt 12, passing through a passage 13 made through the upper portion 2 so that its head 14 is accessible from the rear of said upper portion.
  • the role of the nut 11 / bolt 12 couple is to immobilize the system, once the stud 9 in place in the housing 8 chosen, by blocking the nut 11 in a determined longitudinal location of the light 10.
  • the piece of furniture preferably being made of wood
  • the portion of the rib 6 comprising the housings 8 and the opening 10 is reinforced by a metal plate 15, while, likewise, the portion of the groove 7 situated above above said plate 15 is itself closed by another metal plate 16 on which the pin 9 is welded, and perforated to allow the passage of the bolt 12.
  • the plates 15 and 16 are embedded in the wood of the inclined planes 3 and 5 and fixed for example by gluing or by means of screws (not shown).
  • the plate 16 in order to be able to move over the entire length of the plate 15, according to the chosen setting, the plate 16 must be shorter, its length being determined by the maximum clearance of the upper inclined plane on the lower inclined plane, that is to say the distance between the extreme housings 8.
  • the length of the light 10 will moreover be equal to the length of said plate 16, thus defined.
  • the invention is not limited to its application to tables-desks as it has just been described, but can be adapted to any assembly of which an upper portion can take several heights compared to a fixed lower portion.
