Aus der Fülle anderer, ähnlichen Konzepten folgenden Bausätze für Büromöbel sei noch auf die DE-43 43 433-A1, DE-38 43 806-A1, DE-36 25 136-C1, die GB-647 757 oder die US-3 104 138 verwiesen oder auch auf die "Burdick-Tech-Group" hingewiesen, die schon seit etlichen Jahren Tischtragbalken offenbart, die die Fußelemente über entsprechende Profile fixiert ebenso wie unterschiedliche Tischplatten oder entsprechendes Zubehör.From the abundance of other, similar concepts following kits for office furniture refer to DE-43 43 433-A1, DE-38 43 806-A1, DE-36 25 136-C1, GB-647 757 or US-3 104 138 referenced or to the "Burdick-Tech-Group" pointed out, the table supporting beams for several years discloses the foot elements on corresponding profiles fixed as well as different table tops or similar Equipment.

Weisen die bekannten Lösungen schon eine Reihe von Vorteilen auf, so sind sie zum Teil entweder technisch äußerst aufwendig oder sie benötigen eine Vielzahl von Elementen, um die gewünschte Vielseitigkeit der Tischprogramme zu gewährleisten.The known solutions already have a number of advantages on, some of them are either technically extremely complex or they need a variety of items to make the to ensure the desired versatility of the table programs.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist demgegenüber die Schaffung einer Lösung, die mit einer sehr geringen Elementenanzahl auskommt, die gleichzeitig eine hohe Flexibilität und Anpaßbarkeit an unterschiedliche Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten zuläßt.In contrast, the object of the invention is to create a Solution that manages with a very small number of elements, which at the same time is highly flexible and adaptable allows for different design options.

Bei einem Tisch der eingangs bezeichneten Art wird diese Aufgabe gemäß der Erfindung dadurch gelöst, daß die Quertraversen als offene Profile ausgebildet sind und an ihren freien Enden Spannklammern zur Fixierung an den Längsprofilen vorgesehen sind, wobei ein Profilbereich ein Element der Spannklammern bildet. Diese Gestaltung hat den Vorteil, daß durch die Spannklammern die Quertraversen äußerst einfach und rasch an den die Tischplatte tragenden Längsprofilen fixierbar sind, sie sind damit auch äußerst einfach in ihrer Position verstellbar. Auch wird die Anzahl der notwendigen Einzelelemente auf ein Mindestmaß reduziert. In the case of a table of the type described at the beginning, Object achieved according to the invention in that the cross members are designed as open profiles and on their free ends of clamps for fixing to the longitudinal profiles are provided, wherein a profile area is an element of Forms clamps. This design has the advantage that the crossbeams are extremely easy thanks to the clamps and can be quickly attached to the longitudinal profiles that support the table top are, they are also extremely simple in theirs Adjustable position. Also the number of necessary Individual elements reduced to a minimum.

Zweckmäßig kann es dabei sein, daß das Gegenelement der Spannklammern im wesentlichen querschnittlich L-förmig ausgebildet ist, wobei ein L-Steg als Schwenk- bzw. Stützsteg und der andere L-Schenkel als Klammerelement ausgebildet ist, wie dies die Erfindung in weiterer Ausgestaltung ebenfalls vorsieht.It may be useful that the counter element of Clamps are essentially L-shaped in cross section is, with an L-web as a swivel or support web and the other L-leg is designed as a clamp element is how this is also the invention in a further embodiment provides.

Aus dem weiter oben angegebenen Stand der Technik ergeben sich eine Reihe von Profilformen, die als Quertraversen dienen können. Hier sieht die Erfindung vor, daß die Längsprofile querschnittlich etwa malteserkreuzartig ausgebildet sind, dies stellt für die gewünschten Zwecke eine besonders einfache Profilgestaltung dar, die im wesentlichen unabhängig von ihrer Einbaulage ist.From the prior art given above a series of profile shapes that serve as cross members can. Here, the invention provides that the longitudinal profiles cross-sectionally approximately Maltese cross-shaped are, this represents a special for the desired purposes simple profile design that is essentially independent from their installation position.

Es sei an dieser Stelle bemerkt, daß die oben schon erwähnte "Burdick-Tech-Group" einen Tragbalken für die Tischplatten offenbart, der ebenfalls unterschiedliche Eingriffsbereiche für Fixierelemente, seien es die Fußgestelle, die Tischplatten, Zusatzelemente, die seitlich eingeklinkt werden, offenbart, allerdings handelt es sich dort um ein ganz individuell gestaltetes Profil, das in seiner Einbaulage nicht beliebig geändert werden kann, was bei der Erfindung der Fall ist.It should be noted at this point that the one already mentioned above "Burdick-Tech-Group" a supporting beam for the table tops disclosed, which also different areas of engagement for fixing elements, be it the base frames, the table tops, Additional elements that are latched on the side are disclosed, however, it is a very individual one designed profile, which is not arbitrary in its installation position can be changed, which is the case with the invention is.

Ein in den Figuren nur angedeuteter, allgemein mit 1 bezeichneter Tisch, z.B. ein Büroschreibtisch, weist eine Tischplatte 2 auf, die auf ihrer Unterseite im dargestellten Beispiel mit zwei Quertraversen 3 ausgerüstet ist, die einen malteserkreuzartigen Querschnitt aufweisen und als Hohlprofile, z.B. aus Aluminium, ausgebildet sind. Zwischen den Längsprofilen 3 sind allgemein mit 4 bezeichnete Quertraversen vorgesehen, die die Tischbeine 5 tragen. Im dargestellten Beispiel handelt es sich um Doppelrohre, die an ihrem entgegengesetzten Ende einen Standfuß 6 tragen, der in Fig. 2 in Aufsicht und Seitenansicht dargestellt ist.An only indicated in the figures, generally designated 1 Table, e.g. an office desk has one Tabletop 2 on the bottom shown in the Example is equipped with two cross members 3, one have a Maltese cross-like cross-section and as hollow profiles, e.g. made of aluminum. Between Longitudinal profiles 3 are generally designated with 4 cross members provided that carry the table legs 5. In the illustrated Example it is double pipes on their opposite end carry a base 6, which in Fig. 2 is shown in plan and side view.

Die Quertraversen 4 sind im dargestellten Beispiel als Leichtmetallhohlprofile ausgebildet, die an ihren freien Enden Spannklammern 7 tragen, die sich in den entsprechenden Profilstegen 3a der Längsprofile 3 verklammern können.The cross members 4 are in the example shown as Hollow light metal profiles formed on their free End clamps 7 wear, which are in the corresponding Profile bars 3a of the longitudinal profiles 3 can cling.

Wie sich aus Fig. 1 ergibt, können die Standbeine 5 in unterschiedlichen Positionen in den Quertraversen 4 angeordnet und dort befestigt, z.B. verschweißt, sein, was allerdings in der Figur nur angedeutet ist.As can be seen from Fig. 1, the legs 5 in different Positions arranged in the cross members 4 and attached there, e.g. welded, but what is only hinted at in the figure.

Wie sich insbesondere aus Fig. 3 ergibt, kann ein Teil des freien Endes der Quertraverse 4, dort mit 8 bezeichnet, den stationären Teil der Spannklammer 7 bilden, dem gegenüber ein etwa L-förmig ausgebildetes Gegenelement 9 angeordnet ist, wobei die Spannklammerelemente 8 und 9 im dargestellten Beispiel über Spannschrauben 10 nach Eingriff in den Profilbereich 3a gegeneinander verspannbar sind, wie sich dies aus den Fig. 1 und 3 ergibt. Dabei stützt sich das Gegenelement 9 mit einem in Fig. 3 gestrichelt angedeuteten L-förmigen Schwenk- bzw. Stützsteg 9a im Inneren des Hohlprofiles 4 ab.3, part of the free end of the crossbar 4, there designated 8, the form stationary part of the clamp 7, the opposite an approximately L-shaped counter element 9 is arranged is, the clamping bracket elements 8 and 9 in the illustrated Example using clamping screws 10 after engagement in the profile area 3a can be braced against each other, as can be seen from this 1 and 3 results. The counter element is supported 9 with an L-shaped dashed line in FIG. 3 Swivel or support web 9a in the interior of the hollow profile 4.

Natürlich ist das beschriebene Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung noch in vielfacher Hinsicht abzuändern, ohne den Grundgedanken zu verlassen, was insbesondere die Gestaltung des Klammerelementes angeht. So können beispielsweise auch Ober- und Unterseite des Profiles unmittelbar zur Bildung des Klammerelementes herangezogen werden, wie dies in Fig. 2 angedeutet ist.Of course, the described embodiment of the invention still change in many ways without the To leave basic thought, in particular the design of the bracket element. For example, you can Top and bottom of the profile immediately for formation of the clamp element can be used, as shown in FIG. 2 is indicated.
