Abstract

A tilting ironing board (1) has legs (7, 8) which intersect in an axis (9). One of the legs (7) is fastened to the board plate via a rotary axis (6) while the other leg (8) is joined to the board via a height adjustment mechanism (5). A spacer piece (18, 19) is associated with each leg and mounted force- and form-lockingly between the legs (7, 8) on the axis (9). The pieces (18, 19) are each equipped with a groove and the grooves converge when the board is in a collapsed state. A locking lever (16), coupled to the adjusting lever (15), joins the pieces (18, 19).

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen klappbaren Bügeltisch gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1. Ein solcher Tisch ist aus dem Dokument US-A-5 016 367 bereits bekannt.The invention relates to a folding ironing board according to the preamble of Claim 1. Such a table is from document US-A-5 016 367 already known.

Um ein gefahrloses Transportieren und Wegstellen eines Bügeltisches nach dem Gebrauch zu gewährleisten, sind diese häufig mit einer sogenannten Transportsicherung ausgestattet. Dazu ist ein Haken an der Tischplatte vorgesehen, der in zusammengeklapptem Zustand hinter ein Gestellteil greift.To transport and put away an ironing board safely after use To ensure this, they are often equipped with a so-called transport lock. For this purpose, a hook is provided on the table top, which in the folded state reaches behind a frame part.

Nachteilig daran ist die umständliche Handhabung und der zusätzliche Aufwand bei der Herstellung.The disadvantage of this is the cumbersome handling and the additional effort involved in Manufacturing.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Transportsicherung zu schaffen, die ein automatisches Verriegeln beim Zusammenklappen des Bügeltisches ermöglicht und dennoch keinen nennenswerten Zusatzaufwand in der Herstellung erfordert.The object of the invention is to provide a transport lock that is automatic Locking when folding the ironing board allows and still none significant additional effort in the production required.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Durch die Kopplung mit der Höhenverstellmechanik und die Einrastung in den Kreuzungsbereich der Standbeine ist eine preisgünstige Fertigung möglich. Eine Verrastung beim Zusammenklappen erfolgt automatisch, ebenso erfolgt die Entrastung beim Aufstellen des Bügeltisches über die Höhenverstellmechanik zwangsläufig.This object is achieved with the characterizing features of claim 1. By the coupling with the height adjustment mechanism and the engagement in the intersection area the pillars are inexpensive to manufacture. A latch when Folding takes place automatically, as is the unlatching when setting up the Ironing board inevitably via the height adjustment mechanism.

Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind den Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen. So können durch die Einführschrägen an den Distanzstücken Fertigungstoleranzen ausgeglichen werden.Embodiments of the invention can be found in the subclaims. So through the lead-in chamfers on the spacers are compensated for manufacturing tolerances.

Über die zwischengelegte Metallscheibe wird einerseits die Leichtgängigkeit erhöht und andererseits die Abnutzung in der Rastnut der Distanzstücke verringert.On the one hand, the smooth movement is increased and over the interposed metal disc on the other hand, the wear in the locking groove of the spacers is reduced.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird im folgenden anhand der Zeichnungen näher erläutert. Es zeigen:

Figur 2
einen Schnitt gemäß der Linie II-II nach Figur 1 in entrasteter Stellung,

An embodiment of the invention is explained below with reference to the drawings. Show it:
Figure 1

Figure 2
2 shows a section along the line II-II according to FIG. 1 in the unlocked position,
Figure 3

Figure 4
a section along the line IV - IV of Figure 1.

Ein Bügeltisch 1 besteht im wesentlichen aus einer Tischplatte 2, einem diese einfassenden Rahmen 3 und zwei längslaufende Träger 4, die eine Höhenverstellmechanik 5 und eine Drehachse 6 aufnehmen, an denen zwei sich kreuzende Standbeine 7 und 8 angelenkt sind. Die Standbeine 7 und 8 sind am Kreuzungspunkt durch eine Achse 9 verbunden.An ironing board 1 consists essentially of a table top 2, one enclosing this Frame 3 and two longitudinal beams 4, the height adjustment 5 and one Record axis of rotation 6, on which two intersecting legs 7 and 8 articulated are. The legs 7 and 8 are connected at the crossing point by an axis 9.

Das Standbein 7 ist im Endbereich 10 über die Drehachse 6 und das Standbein 8 über die Strebe 12 im Verschiebeschlitten 13 der Höhenverstellmechanik 5 am Träger 4 der Tischplatte 2 angelenkt.The supporting leg 7 is in the end region 10 via the axis of rotation 6 and the supporting leg 8 via the Strut 12 in the sliding carriage 13 of the height adjustment mechanism 5 on the carrier 4 Table top 2 hinged.

Der Verschiebeschlitten 13 wird über die Stange 14, die durch den Verstellhebel 15 freigegeben wird, verstellt.The sliding carriage 13 is moved over the rod 14 by the adjusting lever 15 released, adjusted.

An dem Verstellhebel 15 ist der Sperrhebel 16 angebracht.The locking lever 16 is attached to the adjusting lever 15.

Der Sperrhebel 16 greift, wie in Figur 2 und 3 dargestellt, in eine Nut 17, die sich über zwei Distanzstücke 18, 19 hinzieht, ein. Die Distanzstücke 18, 19 sind auf der Achse 9 angebracht und jeweils kraft- und formschlüssig mit einem Standbein 7, 8 verbunden. Zwischen den beiden Distanzstücken 18, 19 ist eine Metallscheibe 20 vorgesehen, die ebenfalls mit einer Nut 17 versehen ist und mit einem Distanzstück kraftschlüssig verbunden ist. Die Distanzstücke 18, 19 sind jeweils mit einer Einführschräge 21 versehen.The locking lever 16 engages, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, in a groove 17 which overlaps pulls two spacers 18, 19, one. The spacers 18, 19 are on the axis 9 attached and each positively and positively connected to a leg 7, 8. A metal disk 20 is provided between the two spacers 18, 19 is also provided with a groove 17 and non-positively with a spacer connected is. The spacers 18, 19 are each provided with an insertion slope 21.

In Figur 3 ist die eingerastete Stellung dargestellt. Der Rastabsatz 22 ist über eine nicht dargestellte Feder in die Nut 17 eingerastet. Dabei werden die Distanzstücke 18, 19 und die Metallscheibe 20 kraftschlüssig miteinander verbunden, so daß die Standbeine selbständig in Raststellung halten.In Figure 3, the locked position is shown. The locking paragraph 22 is not one shown spring engaged in the groove 17. The spacers 18, 19 and Metal disc 20 non-positively connected so that the legs are independent hold in rest position.

Durch Betätigen des Verstellhebels 15 wird die Arretierung der Stange 14 und gleichzeitig die des Sperrhebels 16 (Figur 2) freigegeben, so daß die Standbeine über den Verschiebeschlitten 13 durch die Schwerkraft in Standstellung aufspreizen.By actuating the adjustment lever 15, the locking of the rod 14 and simultaneously that of the locking lever 16 (Figure 2) released so that the legs on the Spread the sliding carriage 13 by gravity into the standing position.

Beim Zusammenklappen des Bügeltisches wird der Sperrhebel 16 selbständig über die Einführschräge 21 in die Nut 17 geführt, so daß der Bügeltisch praktisch automatisch verrastet wird.When folding the ironing board, the locking lever 16 is independent on the Insertion bevel 21 guided in the groove 17, so that the ironing board is practically automatic is locked.
