Wege zur Ausführung der ErfindungWays of Carrying Out the Invention

In Fig. 2 ist andeutungsweise eine Tischplatte 1 gezeigt, welche z. B. an zwei Querträgern (vgl. Holm 2) eines nicht weiter dargestellten Gestells in an sich bekannter Weise festgeschraubt ist. Der Holm 2 weist auf seiner oberen, der Tischplatte 1 zugewandten Seite eine Oeffnung 5 auf, durch welche eine Schraube 3 hindurchgeführt ist, welche in einem Sackloch 4 der Tischplatte 1 eingeschraubt ist. In den z. B. ovalen Holm 2 ist ein Arm 6 zum Halten und Unterstützen der erfindungsgemässen Leiste eingesteckt. Er weist eine Bohrung 7 auf, welche mit der Oeffnung 5 im Holm 2 fluchtet. Die Schraube 3 fixiert also nicht nur die Tischplatte 1, sondern auch den Arm 6.2, a table top 1 is shown, which z. B. on two cross beams (see spar 2) one not frame shown in a known manner is screwed tight. The spar 2 has on its upper, the Table top 1 side facing an opening 5 through which a screw 3 is passed, which in one Blind hole 4 of the table top 1 is screwed. In the z. B. oval spar 2 is an arm 6 for holding and supporting the inserted bar according to the invention. It has a hole 7, which is aligned with the opening 5 in the spar 2. The Screw 3 not only fixes the table top 1, but also arm 6.

Der Arm 6 besteht z. B. aus Kunststoff und weist einen hinteren Teil 6.1, eine Verjüngung 6.3 und einen vorderen Teil 6.2 auf. Der hintere Teil 6.1 ist auf den Innenquerschnitt des Holms 2 abgestimmt. Im vorderen, verjüngten Teil 6.2 ist nicht nur die Bohrung 7, sondern auch noch eine weitere Bohrung 8 angebracht. Letztere befindet sich in der Nähe des vorderen Endes und ist für eine Schraube 18 zum Fixieren der Leiste vorgesehen. Sie ist so plaziert, dass zwischen der Leiste und der Tischplatte 1 ein möglichst kleiner Abstand besteht.The arm 6 consists, for. B. made of plastic and has a rear Part 6.1, a taper 6.3 and a front part 6.2 on. The rear part 6.1 is on the inner cross section of the spar 2 matched. In the front, tapered part 6.2 is not only the hole 7, but also another hole 8 attached. The latter is located near the front end and is for a screw 18 for fixing the Bar provided. It is placed so that between the Bar and the table top 1 the smallest possible distance consists.

Die Leiste besteht im vorliegenden Fall aus einem Hohlprofil 11 aus Aluminium (als tragendes Element) und einer Abdeckung 15. Das Hohlprofil 11 weist auf der oberen Seite zwei über die ganze Länge verlaufende, runde Vertiefungen 12.1, 12.2 auf. An der Unterseite des Hohlprofils 11 ist ein Befestigungsteil 14 angeformt. Er steht nach unten V-förmig vor und verfügt über eine Gewindebohrung 19 für eine Schraube 18. Letztere greift von unten durch die Bohrung 8 des Teils 6.2 hindurch und dient zur Befestigung des Hohlprofils 11. Am oberen (dem Hohlprofil 11 zugewandten Ende) der Bohrung 8 ist der Teil 6.2 mit einem V-förmigen Ausschnitt 9.2 versehen. Dieser ist formmässig auf den Befestigungsteil 14 abgestimmt und verläuft parallel zur Längsachse des Hohlprofils 11 (resp. quer zur Längsachse des Arms 6).In the present case, the bar consists of a hollow profile 11 made of aluminum (as a load-bearing element) and a cover 15. The hollow profile 11 has two on the upper side full-length, round depressions 12.1, 12.2 on. On the underside of the hollow profile 11 is a fastening part 14 molded. It projects downwards in a V-shape and has a threaded bore 19 for a screw 18. The latter reaches from below through the bore 8 of part 6.2 through and serves to attach the hollow profile 11. Am upper end (facing the hollow profile 11) of the bore 8 the part 6.2 is provided with a V-shaped cutout 9.2. The shape of this is matched to the fastening part 14 and runs parallel to the longitudinal axis of the hollow profile 11 (or transversely to the longitudinal axis of the arm 6).

Um die Höhe der Leiste einstellen zu können, ist mindestens ein V-förmiges Unterlagselement 10 vorgesehen. Im Beispiel gemäss Fig. 2 wird es nicht zur Einstellung der Höhe verwendet, sondern ist am unteren Ende der Bohrung 8 in einem nach unten zeigenden V-förmigen Ausschnitt 9.1 durch die Schraube 18 eingespannt bzw. festgehalten. Falls die Leiste höher gestellt werden soll, wird die Schraube 18 gelöst, das Unterlagselement 10 aus dem Ausschnitt 9.1 entfernt und in den Ausschnitt 9.2 (zwischen den Teil 6.2 und das Hohlprofil 11) eingesetzt.To be able to adjust the height of the bar, at least a V-shaped support element 10 is provided. For example 2 it is not used to adjust the height, but is at the bottom of the bore 8 in one below V-shaped cutout 9.1 through the screw 18 clamped or held. If the bar is raised should be loosened the screw 18, the base element 10 removed from section 9.1 and in the Section 9.2 (between the part 6.2 and the hollow profile 11) used.

Es ist klar, dass diese Höheneinstellung im Prinzip nur beim Montieren der Leiste gemacht und nicht oft geändert wird.It is clear that this height adjustment is only possible with the Assembling the bar is done and not changed often.

Auf das Hohlprofil 11 ist die Abdeckung 15 aufgesetzt. Sie ist kürzer als das Hohlprofil 11. Wie aus Fig. 1 zu ersehen ist, deckt sie nur den (verkürzt dargestellten) mittleren Bereich des Hohlprofils bzw. der Rinnen 12.1, 12.2 ab. Links und rechts von ihr hat der Benutzer also eine Ablage für seine Schreibgeräte. The cover 15 is placed on the hollow profile 11. she is shorter than the hollow profile 11. As can be seen from FIG. 1 it only covers the middle one (abbreviated) Area of the hollow profile or the channels 12.1, 12.2. Left and to the right of it the user has a shelf for his writing implements.

Die Abdeckung 15 weist eine flache oder ergonomisch leicht gekrümmte Oberfläche 17 auf. Im vorliegenden Beispiel liegt sie höher als die Tischfläche 16 der Tischplatte 1. Sie umgreift mit ihrem vorderen und hinteren Ende 15.1, 15.2 die Aussenseiten des Hohlprofils 11. Beim gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel ist das vordere Ende 15.1 vollständig um die vordere Seite des Profils 11 herumgeführt. Das hintere Ende 15.2 dagegen greift in eine speziell dafür vorgesehene Rille 13 des Hohlprofils 11 ein. Die Abdeckung 15 ist also um das Hohlprofil 11 herumgespannt. In dem die Vertiefungen 12.1, 12.2 abdeckenden Bereich ist die Abdeckung 15 mit formmässig angepassten Rippen 20.1, 20.2 ausgerüstet. Diese erhöhen die Stabilität der Abdeckung, wenn der Benutzer seine Hände auf der Abdeckung 15 abstützt.The cover 15 has a flat or ergonomically light curved surface 17. In the present example lies it is higher than the table surface 16 of the table top 1 with their front and rear ends 15.1, 15.2 Outside of the hollow profile 11. In the embodiment shown the front end 15.1 is completely around the front Side of the profile 11 passed around. The rear end 15.2 on the other hand, engages in a specially provided groove 13 of the hollow profile 11. The cover 15 is about that Hollow profile 11 spanned. In which the wells 12.1, 12.2 covering area is the cover 15 with a shape adapted ribs 20.1, 20.2 equipped. These increase the Stability of the cover when the user puts his hands on the cover 15 supports.

In Fig. 1 sind zwei Deckel 21.1, 21.2 eingezeichnet, welche das Hohlprofil am Anfang und am Ende abschliessen.In Fig. 1, two lids 21.1, 21.2 are shown, which complete the hollow profile at the beginning and at the end.

Vorzugsweise ist am vorderen Teil 6.2 eine Schulter 22 ausgebildet, die einen Anschlag beim Einfügen des Arms 6 in den Holm 2 bietet.A shoulder 22 is preferably formed on the front part 6.2, the a stop when inserting the arm 6 in the Holm 2 offers.

Das gezeigte Ausführungsbeispiel lässt sich in diversen Aspekten abwandeln. Es versteht sich zum Beispiel, dass die beiden Rinnen 12.1, 12.2 auch eckig ausgebildet sein können. Anstelle der Doppelrinne kann auch eine einfache Rinne als Schreibgerätablage dienen. Weiter kann die Abdeckung ohne weiteres weggelassen werden. Dies insbesondere dann, wenn die Vertiefungen für die Schreibgeräte nur im Bereich der Enden des Hohlprofils 11 ausgebildet sind.The embodiment shown can be in various Modify aspects. For example, it goes without saying that the both channels 12.1, 12.2 can also be angular. Instead of the double channel, a simple channel can also be used Serve pen tray. The cover can continue without more may be omitted. This is particularly the case if the recesses for the writing utensils only in the area of Ends of the hollow profile 11 are formed.

Anstelle einer Schraubbefestigung sind auch andere Befestigungsarten denkbar. Der Befestigungsteil 14 des Hohlprofils kann z. B. auch so ausgestaltet sein, dass er an der Stirnseite des Arms 6 befestigt werden kann.Instead of a screw fastening, there are also other fastening types conceivable. The fastening part 14 of the hollow profile can e.g. B. can also be designed so that it is on the front side the arm 6 can be attached.

Für die Ausgestaltung der Abdeckung 15 steht dem Fachmann eine Vielfalt von Möglichkeiten zur Verfügung. Dies trifft insbesondere für die Art und Weise der Befestigung am Hohlprofil zu.The person skilled in the art is responsible for the design of the cover 15 a variety of options available. This is true especially for the way of attachment to the hollow profile to.

Wie aus Fig. 2 zu erkennen ist, besteht ein Höhenunterschied zwischen der Oberfläche 17 und der Tischfläche 16. Die Leiste bildet deshalb einen Anschlag, der insbesondere beim Schrägstellen der Tischplatte von Vorteil ist. Sie kann aber auch dazu verwendet werden, um eine ergonomisch vorteilhafte Haltung der Hand beim Schreiben auf einer Tastatur zu ermöglichen.
