Definitions

  • the invention relates to a table, in particular for office workplaces, with a frame made of at least two longitudinal members designed as a hollow profile, e.g. made of extruded aluminum profiles and at least two cross beams, e.g. made of die-cast aluminum, with assigned foot elements.
  • a frame with a worktop in particular for office workplaces, which has at least two longitudinal beams supporting the worktop, which are optionally provided with at least one cross member with associated foot elements, the worktop being perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to Longitudinal direction of the longitudinal beams is guided and held on these.
  • the side members have engagement openings in their side walls at predetermined intervals, in which guide clips are fixed for receiving guide rails of the worktop.
  • hanging tabs from base cabinets or the like to be arranged below the worktop can be attached to the side members, which engage with essentially hook-shaped wall projections in the openings of the side members provided on the side walls.
  • From DE 44 06 248 C2 is a table with a frame made of two parallel longitudinal profiles and at least two cross bridges, with at least two table legs attached to the frame and with one by means of fastening elements on the Frame attached table top known, the cross bridges on the longitudinal profiles in an alternative by means of adapted groove-like counterparts are releasably and displaceably fastened in the longitudinal direction, with coupling sections as continuous grooves on the facing sides of the longitudinal profiles and the counterparts as protruding into the grooves and fixable therein Protrusions are formed or, conversely, in the other alternative, the coupling sections are designed as continuous protrusions and the counterparts as coordinated grooves, and the cross bridges are designed such that they can be attached projecting beyond the end faces of the longitudinal profiles and can be connected to further longitudinal profiles.
  • Such a table is complex to manufacture and assemble and not very adaptable.
  • the object of the present invention is to develop a table of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that it can be produced simply and inexpensively and can be better adapted to the different functions which such a table is intended to perform.
  • the cross member has lateral connecting pins for the axial engagement in the respective longitudinal member by positive and / or forceful pressing, infiltration, shrinking and / or gluing.
  • the frame is therefore no longer welded, which is expensive, or what can lead to loosening connections, screwed. Rather, the connecting pin is pressed into the axial recess of the side member, sealed with the profile end of the side member, the profile end (thermally) shrunk and / or glued, so that a permanent form and / or forceful connection is created.
  • the connecting pins which preferably protrude laterally perpendicularly from the side members, can in particular have ribbing, teeth or similar surface unevenness in order to prevent undesired detachment of the side members from the connecting pins.
  • the table according to the invention is easily adaptable to a wide variety of uses by additional elements.
  • the connecting, guiding, cladding and / or support elements are designed such that, according to the invention, they are used for hanging, inserting or latching rear walls, table covers, cable duct profiles, connecting elements, attachment elements for the third level or for guiding the worktop or the like .
  • a special connecting piece which has a connecting lug for the cross member and a connecting pin which essentially corresponds to the connecting pin of the cross member arranged fixed to the frame.
  • the connecting piece can be attached to the first table at different angles to the longitudinal extent of a longitudinal member with the aid of the connecting lug, in order to connect a further table to the already existing first in corresponding directions, and on the other hand, with the aid of the connecting pin, a longitudinal member for the subsequent further one Pick up the table.
  • a joint piece is provided according to the invention for the connection of two longitudinal profiles, which has two articulated tab sections, each of which is connected to a connecting pin, which is essentially fixed to the frame arranged connecting pin of the cross member corresponds. Due to the correspondence of the connecting pins, the same side members can always be used in the case of conversion as in the case of interlinking, which reduces the stockpiling of the required parts.
  • the invented table has at least one cable duct trough, which preferably extends over the entire length of the frame, which can be suspended on the one hand in a longitudinal beam and on the other hand, e.g. on a projection of a support element designed as a support arm and attached to a longitudinal member.
  • the cable duct trough does not have to be completely removed when laying, checking or replacing cables, but rather, as further proposed with the invention, can be locked in a partially open position in which the cabling is accessible.
  • quick-release fasteners can be arranged on the longitudinal beams at predetermined intervals, which have a locking slide that can be clipped onto the longitudinal beam and a rotating latch that is rotatably mounted on the underside of the worktop and that can be transferred from an open position into a locking position and vice versa relative to the locking slide is.
  • Locking slide and rotary latch can be inexpensive components made of plastic, which ensure a reliable positioning of the worktop on the frame. This makes assembly and disassembly very easy.
  • the locking slide is preferably arranged to be longitudinally displaceable on the longitudinal member, has a longitudinal slot aligned with an engagement hole of the longitudinal member for a pivot pin of the rotary bolt, and has an inclined surface on its upper side which serves to adjust the height of the worktop.
  • the rotary bolt is supported at a different distance from the underside of the worktop on the inclined surface on the top of the locking slide encompassing the side member, so that simple height adjustment is possible in this way and adaptation of the worktop is possible.
  • the table can be given a different starting height, for example the usual height of 68 cm or 72 cm.
  • a fine adjustment of the height can also be carried out in the usual way by adjusting elements at the lower end of the respective foot elements.
  • a penetration ring is provided between the cross member and worktop in continuation of the respective foot element, the impression can be given that the foot element penetrates the cross member.
  • vertical, e.g. cylindrical cable ducts can be clipped onto a foot element by means of suitable clip-on elements.
  • These vertical cable channels can be provided or omitted if necessary.
  • a problem with office tables with a sliding worktop is the danger of getting caught on the leading edge of the worktop when it is shifted into the working position via the horizontal cable duct released in the open position of the worktop.
  • a safety locking device is provided for this reason, which locks the worktop against further displacement before being moved into its final working position and can only be transferred from the locked position into a release position by actuation independent of the other locking device of the worktop. In this way it is achieved that the worktop is shifted into its final working position without thinking, so to speak, and the second hand of the user is required to release the safety locking device.
  • the frame for a table according to the invention is composed of two longitudinal beams 1 designed as a hollow profile and two cross beams 2 according to FIG Support the ends freely on columnar foot elements.
  • Fig. 1 only the left end of the frame and only one foot element 3 is shown with the parts exploded.
  • the foot elements 3 are supported (in a manner not shown) at the bottom on a runner 30 according to FIG. 3.
