Definitions

  • the invention relates to a frame-like frame as a base for tables, desks, furniture or the like, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • an im Cross section square Light metal extruded hollow profile as a component for Formation of frames or the like to use.
  • This Profile has a continuous in the central area Screw channel in the form of a tube, which with the corners of the Hollow profile is connected via webs. If you have such Profiles want to connect with each other are in the area matching hollow cubes used in corners Walls holes for passing screws through located in the screw channel of the hollow profile intervene self-tapping.
  • the object of the invention is that mentioned State of the art to develop further and solutions propose to frame-like frames for tall Stresses are precise and stable To be able to produce light metal hollow profiles without to have to take special formal measures.
  • this object is achieved in that the longitudinal and transverse bars one have a rectangular cross-section, on the narrow Sides of two webs with a continuous one between them Form screw channel, protrude inwards, and that the legs of the frame consist of a tubular profile, on the Outer surface of a extending along a surface line first groove is provided in which the narrow side of the free spar end is guided.
  • the invention only requires two Extrusion tools, namely one for the spars and one other for the legs.
  • the fitter then only needs cut the profiles to the desired length and on some holes to make a whole stable framework for forming the frames as a substructure for Form tables, desks, furniture or the like.
  • the stability here is also special brought about that the free spar ends in elongated and cross-sectional grooves on the outer surface of the Legs are guided.
  • This butt joint of the spar and leg is secured on the one hand by two screws, which in the two screw channels of the spar self-tapping intervention.
  • a turnstile is provided by the Guide of the spar end created in the first groove.
  • such a cap can be used for To carry foot parts, which is expediently a Platen in combination with one in the cap have guided spigot. Should these foot parts be adjustable in height, the pin as a threaded spindle and the bore of the cap is designed as a threaded bore become.
  • An identical cap can also be on the top of the leg be inserted into the tube profile.
  • the pin of another fitting insert for example with a flange plate a table top or the lower part of a piece of furniture or the like is screwed.
  • This measure has at the same time the advantage that you can by different heights Adjust the pin in the hole in the cap one Oblique position of the table top to be screwed on or can achieve the same, which is advantageous, for example is when the frame according to the invention for the manufacture of drawing tables, consoles or the like shall be.
  • FIG. 1 is the basic view of the frame (2) according to the invention shown in Connection with, for example, a slab of the substructure for a table (1), desk, furniture or the like can represent.
  • the frame (2) has one H-shape, after which two longitudinal bars (4) on the front two cross bars (3) through a butt screw connection (9) are connected.
  • the tubular profiles (5) have on them Outer surface along a surface line each a first groove (6) whose width corresponds to the width of the cross member (3) equivalent.
  • the free spar end (24) is in this first Groove (6) guided and thus secured against rotation.
  • the tubular profile (5) On the side opposite the first groove (6) the tubular profile (5) has a second groove (7) through a Cover profile (8) is covered.
  • This second groove (7) is used on the one hand to accommodate the screw heads for the Screws (10) and on the other hand forms one Cable duct (25) (see FIG. 6).
  • the longitudinal spar (4) or transverse spar (3) is one in Cross section of rectangular hollow profile (11) made of light metal, in particular from an extruded hollow profile (11) educated.
  • On the inside of the narrow sides of the Hollow profile (11) are two in the distance mutually arranged webs (12) extending in the direction extend to the interior and one between them Form screw channel (13).
  • This screw channel (13) takes the individual screw connection (9,10), whose Screw shanks have self-tapping properties.
  • the Web outer surface (15) parallel to the outer surface (17) of the Hollow profile (11) should be.
  • the outer surface of the bridge serves (15) as a support for the screw head (18) Screw connection (9). Accordingly, the profile wall a through hole (19), the size of the Screw head (18) corresponds. If the distance (16) between the outer surface of the web (15) and the Profile outer surface (17) of the height of the screw head (18) corresponds, then the screw (10) with your Screw head (18) flush with the outer surface (17) of the Hollow profile (11).
  • a second groove (7) lies opposite this first groove (6), which forms a channel (25) which leads to the outside through a Cover profile (8) is completed.
  • This cover profile (8) becomes snap-lock-like with the help of its webs (27) inserted into the groove (7).
  • the webs are accordingly (27) of the cover profile (8) and the side walls (28) of the second groove (7) curved or set back, to bring about the snap lock connection.
  • Figures 5 and 10 describe the connection of a Plate (38) with the legs (5), shown at the same time as the plate (38) using the below described fittings in one or more inclined positions can be adjusted.
  • the leg shown in Figure 5 (5) is in this example with the back of the plate (38) and the leg (5) shown in Figure 10 with the Front of the plate (38) connected.
  • leg becomes one z.
  • B plastic cap (30) used the has a central through bore (31) therein to guide the pin (32) of a fitting (36).
  • This Cap (30) has an outer disc (55) which has the same diameter as the tubular profile (5).
  • the hub (33) of the cap (30) is, as in FIG. 4, already has been described, between the webs (22) and the Groove bottom (20) of the hollow profile (5) out.
  • Two bar-like extensions extend from the hub (33) Lugs (34) to the outside, their circumference in the tubular profile (5) is led.
  • the pin (32) guided in the hub (33) of the cap (30) has a series of bores (40) transverse to the longitudinal axis that have the same distance from each other.
  • a radial in the bolt-like approach (34) Threaded hole for receiving a locking element (41), that in the example of Figure 6 as grub screws is trained.
  • This locking element (41) has a protruding locking ball (42) on the front, the is rotatably guided in the locking element (41) and below the action of a spring (43).
  • the locking ball (42) protrudes slightly over the locking element (41) on the front out and engages in a bore (40) of the pin (32) on. Positional centering is thereby brought about.
  • pin hook (46) inserted penetrates the associated bore (40) of the pin (32) and merges into a hook part (47).
  • This hook part (47) is dimensioned so that it is from the outside in another Bore (40) of the pin (32) can engage.
  • the hook part (47) is slightly V-shaped.
  • the Pen hook (46) consists of a resilient material, so that when inserting the hook part (47) into the hole (40) to overcome a pretension of the hook part (47) is. As a result, the pin hook (46) is automatically activated Loosened from the pin (32) prevented.
  • the diameter of the hub (33) is to be dimensioned such that between the outer circumference of the Hub (33) and the groove bottom (26) created enough space to insert the screw head (18) for the To accommodate screw (10).
  • the cap (30) is in Figures 7 and 8 as a single part shown again, whereby it can be seen that in the End plate of the cap (30) has a recess (54) is which to the channel (25) of the tubular profile (5) of the leg should be congruent. This is supposed to be the opportunity be created, cables also through the front Completion of the pipe profile (5) to be able to pass.
  • Figure 10 shows the arrangement of the cap (30) at the upper end of the front tubular profile (5) of the leg, with a Spindle pin (50) of a fitting (35) in the bore the cap (30) engages as a threaded hole can be trained. You can therefore the fitting (35) in adjust the height compared to the tubular profile (5) and a Inclination of the plate (38) in the desired Fix inclination.
  • This Fitting (36) has a flange plate (37) on which for example a plate (38), e.g. B. a table top or screwed the bottom of a piece of furniture.
  • the Flange plate (37) is rotatable on the joint (39) Journals (32) stored. This will give you the opportunity created to adjust the plate (38) at an angle.
