Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Arbeitstisch so auszubilden, daß er eine vielseitige flexible Anpassung ermöglicht und dabei kostengünstig herstellbar ist.The invention has for its object a work table like this train that it allows a versatile flexible adjustment and is inexpensive to manufacture.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch einen Arbeitstisch mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1.According to the invention, this object is achieved by a work table with the features of claim 1.

Vorteilhafte Ausführungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben. Der Grundgedanke der Erfindung besteht darin, den Fuß des Arbeitstisches mit einem unter der Tischplatte angeordneten Tischrohrelement auszubilden, welches entweder unmittelbar starr mit der Tischplatte oder mit einem die Tischplatte tragenden Gestell verbunden ist. Die Tischplatte weist einen axial mit dem Tischrohrelement fluchtenden Durchbruch auf. In dem Tischrohrelement ist teleskopisch ausziehbar ein Trageelement geführt. Das Trageelement kann bei Bedarf durch den Durchbruch über die Tischplatte ausgezogen werden, um zusätzliche Funktionselemente oberhalb der Tischplatte an dem Trageelement anzubringen. Werden solche zusätzlichen Funktions-elemente nicht benötigt, so kann das Trageelement in den Fuß hineingeschoben werden, so daß es sich vollständig unter der Oberfläche der Tischplatte befindet und die freie Tischfläche des Arbeitstisches weder funktionsmäßig noch optisch stört.Advantageous embodiments and developments of the invention are specified in the subclaims. The basic idea of the invention consists of placing the foot of the work table with one under the To form table top arranged table tube element, which either directly rigid with the tabletop or with one the table top supporting frame is connected. The table top has an opening axially aligned with the table tube element on. In the table tube element is telescopic guided a support element. The support element can by if necessary the breakthrough can be pulled out over the table top for additional Functional elements above the table top on the support element to attach. Such additional functional elements not required, so the support element in the foot be pushed in so that it is completely under the Surface of the table top and the free table surface of the work table neither functionally nor visually.

Die starre Verbindung des Tischrohrelementes mit der Tischplatte bzw. dem die Tischplatte tragenden Gestell ergibt eine hohe Stabilität des Arbeitstisches. Die Kippbelastbarkeit des Tischrohrelements gewährleistet außerdem, daß das Trageelement nicht nur vertikal geführt wird, sondern insbesondere ebenfalls eine hohe Kippbelastung aufnehmen kann, z. B. durch radial weit ausladende Tragarme für Bildschirmgeräte, Stehpulte oder dergleichen.The rigid connection of the table tube element to the table top or the frame supporting the table top results in a high Stability of the work table. The tilt resistance of the table tube element also ensures that the support member is not is only guided vertically, but in particular also one can withstand high tipping loads, e.g. B. by radially protruding Support arms for display devices, standing desks or the like.

Da das Tischrohrelement Bestandteil des Fußes ist, kann das Trageelement nahezu über die gesamte Länge des Fußes in das Tischrohrelement eingeschoben werden. Das Trageelement kann daher eine große Länge aufweisen und über einen entsprechend großen Längenbereich über die Tischplatte ausgezogen werden. Es ergibt sich dadurch eine große Vielseitigkeit in Bezug auf das Anbringen und die Art der zusätzlichen Funktionselemente. Andererseits kann auch die gesamte Länge des Trageelements in das Tischrohrelement des Fußes eingeschoben werden, wenn keine zusätzlichen Funktionselemente benötigt werden, ohne daß das in dem Fuß aufgenommene Trageelement den Freiraum unter der Tischplatte beeinträchtigt oder störend sichtbar ist.Since the table tube element is part of the foot, this can Carrying element almost over the entire length of the foot in the Table tube element can be inserted. The support element can therefore have a great length and a corresponding one large length range over the table top. It this results in great versatility in terms of Attach and the type of additional functional elements. On the other hand can also the entire length of the support element in the Table tube element of the foot can be inserted if no additional Functional elements are required without that in the support element added to the foot creates the space under the table top impaired or visible.

Der Fuß weist ein Bodenelement auf, welches gegenüber dem mit der Tischplatte verbundenen Tischrohrelement vertikal verstellbar ist und auf dem Fußboden aufsteht. Durch die gegenseitige Verstellung von Tischrohrelement und Bodenelement ergibt sich zusätzlich eine Höhenverstellbarkeit der Tischplatte, ohne daß die Vorteile des Trageelements beeinflußt werden.The foot has a floor element, which is opposite to the of the table top connected table tube element vertically adjustable and gets up on the floor. By mutual Adjustment of table tube element and floor element results additionally one Height adjustment of the table top without the advantages of Carrier elements are affected.

Das Tischrohrelement kann eine große Länge aufweisen, weil es den gesamten Fuß bildet und/oder weil hierdurch eine besonders kippstabile Führung des Trageelements gewährleistet ist. In diesen Fällen ist das Tischrohrelement vorzugsweise zweiteilig ausgebildet und besteht aus einer an der Tischplatte oder dem die Tischplatte tragenden Gestell angebrachten Tischhülse und einem starr mit der Tischhülse verbindbaren, jedoch von der Tischhülse abnehmbaren Fußstück. Das Abnehmen des Fußstücks erleichtert den Transport und die Lagerhaltung des Arbeitstisches.The table tube element can have a long length because of it forms the entire foot and / or because this makes it a special one tilt-stable guidance of the support element is guaranteed. In In these cases, the table tube element is preferably in two parts trained and consists of a on the table top or the the table sleeve supporting frame attached table sleeve and a rigidly connectable to the table sleeve, but by the Table sleeve removable foot piece. The removal of the foot piece facilitates the transport and storage of the work table.

Der Arbeitstisch weist eine Tischplatte 10 auf, die von einem oder mehreren Füßen getragen wird. Es können beispielsweise vier Füße vorgesehen sein. Ebenso kann der Arbeitstisch einen einzigen zentralen Fuß, zwei L-Füße bzw. T-Füße oder drei Füße aufweisen. Für die Erfindung wesentlich ist die Ausbildung der Füße, so daß es ausreichend ist, die Erfindung anhand eines einzigen Fußes zu erläutern und nur einen einzigen Fuß in der Zeichnung darzustellen. Weist der Arbeitstisch mehrere Füße auf, so können diese in entsprechender Weise ausgebildet, sein.The work table has a table top 10 by one or multiple feet. For example, four Feet may be provided. Likewise, the work table can be a single one central foot, two L-feet or T-feet or three feet exhibit. For the invention, the formation of the Feet, so that it is sufficient to use a to explain a single foot and only a single foot in the To represent the drawing. If the work table has several feet, they can be designed in a corresponding manner.

Soweit bei den nachfolgend beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispielen einander entsprechende Teile vorhanden sind, sind diese mit denselben Bezugszahlen versehen und werden vorzugsweise nur einmal anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels erläutert.So much for the exemplary embodiments described below corresponding parts are available, these are with provided the same reference numbers and are preferably only once explained using an exemplary embodiment.

Bei dem in Figur 1 dargestellten ersten Ausführungsbeispiel liegt die Tischplatte 10 fest auf einem Rahmen 12 eines Gestells auf. Mit dem Rahmen 12 fest verbunden, z. B. verschweißt ist eine Tischhülse 14, deren oberes Ende bündig mit der Oberkante des Rahmens 12 und damit an der Unterseite der Tischplatte 10 endet. Nach unten ragt die Tischhülse 14 über den Rahmen 12 hinaus. Auf das nach unten über den Rahmen 12 hinausragende Ende der Tischhülse 14 wird ein rohrförmiges Fußstück 16 geschoben und mittels eines Klemmstückes 18, fest aber lösbar mit der Tischhülse 14 verbunden. Auf diese Weise bilden die Tischhülse 14 und das Fußstück 16 ein zerlegbares Tischrohrelement, dessen Länge im wesentlichen der Länge des Fußes entspricht.In the first embodiment shown in Figure 1 the table top 10 is fixed on a frame 12 of a frame on. Firmly connected to the frame 12, e.g. B. is welded a table sleeve 14, the upper end of which is flush with the upper edge of the frame 12 and thus on the underside of the table top 10 ends. The table sleeve 14 projects downward over the frame 12 out. On the end projecting downward beyond the frame 12 A tubular foot piece 16 is pushed onto the table sleeve 14 and by means of a clamping piece 18, firmly but releasably with the Table sleeve 14 connected. In this way, form the table sleeve 14 and the foot piece 16 a dismantled Table tube element, the length of which is essentially the length of the Corresponds to the foot.

Unten auf das Fußstück 16 ist wiederum teleskopisch ein rohrförmiges Bodenelement 20 aufgeschoben. Das Fußstück 16 kann in eine gewünschte vertikale Höhe gegenüber dem Bodenelement 20 verstellt werden und wird in der gewünschten Höhe mittels eines Stellstückes 22 arretiert. Das Stellstück 22 wird an dem Fußstück 16 festgeklemmt, so daß sich das Fußstück 16 mittels des Stellstückes 22 vertikal auf dem Bodenelement 20 abstützt. Dadurch ist eine Höhenverstellung der Tischplatte 10 möglich.At the bottom of the foot piece 16 is a tubular telescope Floor element 20 pushed on. The foot piece 16 can be in a desired vertical height adjusted relative to the base element 20 be and will be at the desired level using a Actuator 22 locked. The actuator 22 is on the foot piece 16 clamped so that the foot piece 16 by means of Adjustment piece 22 is supported vertically on the base element 20. Thereby a height adjustment of the table top 10 is possible.

Axial fluchtend mit der Tischhülse 14 ist in der Tischplatte 10 ein Durchbruch 24 vorgesehen, der die Tischplatte durchsetzt. Die lichten Innendurchmesser des Durchbruches 24 und der Tischhülse 14 stimmen überein. Ein rohrförmiges Trageelement 26 ist teleskopisch verschiebbar in der Tischhülse 14 geführt und kann in seiner gewünschten Auszugstellung mittels einer Klemmschraube 28 festgestellt werden, die radial in der Tischhülse 14 angeordnet ist. Das Trageelement 26 kann durch den Durchbruch 24 der Tischplatte 10 hinaus vertikal nach oben über die Tischplatte 10 ausgezogen werden, wie dies in Figur 1 dargestellt ist. An dem über die Tischplatte 10 hinausragenden Bereich des Trageelements 26 können zusätzliche Funktions-elemente 30 angebracht werden, z. B. festgeklemmt werden. Solche Funktionselemente können z. B. Bildschirmträger, Telefonarme, Bretter für die sogenannte dritte Ebene, Tischwände, Stehpulte usw. sein.Axially aligned with the table sleeve 14 is in the table top 10 an opening 24 is provided which passes through the table top. The clear inner diameter of the opening 24 and the table sleeve 14 match. A tubular support member 26 is guided and telescopically displaceable in the table sleeve 14 in its desired pull-out position using a clamping screw 28 are found, which are arranged radially in the table sleeve 14 is. The support member 26 can through the opening 24 of the Table top 10 also vertically upwards over the table top 10 be pulled out, as shown in Figure 1. To the region of the support element protruding beyond the table top 10 26 additional functional elements 30 can be attached, e.g. B. be clamped. Such functional elements can e.g. B. Screen supports, telephone arms, boards for the so-called third Level, table walls, standing desks etc.

Werden solche Funktionselemente 30 nicht benötigt, so wird das Trageelement 26 nach unten in die Tischhülse 14 geschoben, bis das obere Ende des Trageelements 26 unter der Tischoberfläche liegt. Der Durchbruch 24 kann dann durch eine Verschlußkappe 56 flächenbündig verschlossen werden, so daß die Oberfläche der Tischplatte 10 optisch nicht beeinträchtigt ist und auf der gesamten Fläche unbehindert benutzt werden kann.If such functional elements 30 are not required, this will be the case Carrying element 26 pushed down into the table sleeve 14 until the upper end of the support member 26 below the table surface lies. The opening 24 can then be closed by a cap 56 be closed flush so that the surface of the Table top 10 is not visually impaired and on the entire area can be used freely.

Das Trageelement 26 kann in die Tischhülse 14, das Fußstück 16 und das Bodenelement 20 eingeschoben werden, so daß die Länge des Trageelements 26 bis zu der gesamten Länge des Fußes betragen kann. Dadurch ergibt sich die Möglichkeit, das Trageelement 26 bei Bedarf auf eine sehr große Länge über die Tischplatte 10 hinaus auszuziehen, was die Nutzungsmöglichkeit für unterschiedlichste Funktionselemente 30 erweitert. Zudem ergibt sich eine stabile kippbelastbare Führung des Trageelements über eine große Länge.The support element 26 can be in the table sleeve 14, the foot piece 16th and the bottom member 20 are inserted so that the length of the support member 26 to the entire length of the foot can. This results in the possibility of the support element 26 if necessary to a very long length over the table top 10 move out, what the possible use for different Functional elements 30 expanded. There is also a stable tiltable guidance of the support element over a large Length.

Figur 2 zeigt ein zweites Ausführungsbeispiel des Fußes des Arbeitstisches.Figure 2 shows a second embodiment of the foot of the Worktable.

An dem Rahmen 12 ist das Tischrohrelement 32 angebracht, welches in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel einstückig und nicht zerlegbar ausgebildet ist. Das Tischrohrelement 32 ist mittels Verbindungslappen 34 mit dem Rahmen 12 verschraubt. Das Tischrohrelement 32 greift in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel von unten in den Durchbruch 24 der Tischplatte 10, endet jedoch unterhalb der oberen Arbeitsfläche der Tischplatte 10. Das Tischrohrelement 32 weist dabei einen Außendurchmesser auf, der dem lichten Innendurchmesser des Durchbruches 24 entspricht, so daß das Tischrohrelement 32 gleichzeitig zur Positionierung und Fixierung der Tischplatte 10 auf dem Rahmen 12 ausgenutzt werden kann.On the frame 12, the table tube element 32 is attached, which in this embodiment in one piece and cannot be dismantled is trained. The table tube element 32 is by means of connecting tabs 34 screwed to the frame 12. The table tube element 32 engages in this embodiment from below in the Breakthrough 24 of the table top 10, however, ends below the upper work surface of the table top 10. The table tube element 32 has an outer diameter which is the clear inner diameter corresponds to the opening 24, so that the table tube element 32 simultaneously for positioning and fixing the Table top 10 on the frame 12 can be used.

Das Tischrohrelement 32 ist wiederum höhenverstellbar in dem Bodenelement 20 geführt und mittels des Stellstückes 22 arretierbar.The table tube element 32 is in turn adjustable in height Bottom element 20 guided and lockable by means of the actuator 22.

In dieser Ausführung weist das einstückige Tischrohrelement 32 eine Länge auf, die nahezu der gesamten Höhe des Fußes entspricht. Das Trageelement 26 wird über diese gesamte Länge des Tischrohrelements 32 geführt, so daß sich eine besonders hohe Kippbelastbarkeit des Trageelements 26 ergibt.In this embodiment, the one-piece table tube element 32 a length that corresponds to almost the entire height of the foot. The support member 26 is the entire length of the Table tube element 32 guided so that there is a particularly high Tilting capacity of the support member 26 results.

Figur 3 zeigt ein drittes Ausführungsbeispiel des Fußes.Figure 3 shows a third embodiment of the foot.

In diesem Ausführungsbeispiel ist das einstückige Tischrohrelement 32 mit einem Verbindungsstück 36 vereinigt, welches mit der Unterseite der Tischplatte verschraubt wird. Dadurch ist eine starre Verbindung des Tischrohrelements 32 unmittelbar mit der Tischplatte 10 gegeben. Das Tischrohrelement 32 endet in dieser Ausführung an der Unterseite der Tischplatte 10. Im Übrigen entspricht dieses Ausführungsbeispiel dem Ausführungsbeispiel der Figur 2.In this embodiment, the one-piece table tube element 32 united with a connector 36, which with the bottom of the table top is screwed. This is a rigid connection of the table tube element 32 directly with given the table top 10. The table tube element 32 ends in this version on the underside of the table top 10. By the way this embodiment corresponds to the embodiment of Figure 2.

Figur 4 zeigt ein viertes Ausführungsbeispiel des Fußes.Figure 4 shows a fourth embodiment of the foot.

Das vierte Ausführungsbeispiel entspricht im wesentlichen dem Ausführungsbeispiel der Figur 3. Lediglich die Höhenverstellung der Tischplatte 10 ist modifiziert. Das rohrförmige Bodenelement 20 weist in seiner Wandung in einer vertikalen Reihe beabstandet angeordnete Einstecklöcher 38 auf, in welche ein Stützbolzen 40 einsteckbar ist. Zur höhenverstellbaren Arretierung des Tischrohrelements 32 wird der Stützbolzen 40 in der gewünschten Höhe in eines der Einstecklöcher 38 eingesteckt. Das Tischrohrelement 32 ist teleskopisch in dem Bodenelement 20 geführt und stützt sich vertikal auf dem Stützbolzen 40 ab.The fourth embodiment corresponds essentially to that Embodiment of Figure 3. Only the height adjustment the table top 10 is modified. The tubular floor element 20 is spaced apart in its wall in a vertical row arranged insertion holes 38, in which a Support pin 40 can be inserted. For height-adjustable locking of the table tube element 32, the support pin 40 in the desired height in one of the insertion holes 38. The Table tube element 32 is telescopic in the base element 20 guided and is supported vertically on the support pin 40.

Figur 5 zeigt ein fünftes Ausführungsbeispiel des Fußes.Figure 5 shows a fifth embodiment of the foot.

In diesem Ausführungsbeispiel ist das Tischrohrelement nur durch eine Tischhülse 14 gebildet. Die Tischhülse 14 ist mittels eines Verbindungsstückes 36 an der Unterseite der Tischplatte 10 angeschraubt und greift in den Durchbruch 24 der Tischplatte 10 ein. Zur Höhenverstellung der Tischplatte 10 schließt sich an das untere Ende der Tischhülse 14 axial fluchtend und mit gleichem Durchmesser und gleicher Wandstärke ein rohrförmiges Bodenelement 20 an. Der untere Rand der Tischhülse 14 und der obere Rand des Bodenelements 20 sind unter einem gleichen Winkel zur Achse abgeschrägt, so daß Stützkanten 42 gebildet sind. Eine äußere Führungshülse 44 umgreift koaxial die Tischhülse 14 und das obere Ende des Bodenelements 20 und ist mit der Tischhülse 14 fest verbunden, z. B. verschweißt. In this embodiment, the table tube element is only through a table sleeve 14 formed. The table sleeve 14 is by means of a Connection piece 36 screwed to the underside of the table top 10 and engages in the opening 24 of the table top 10 on. This is followed by the height adjustment of the table top 10 the lower end of the table sleeve 14 axially aligned and with the same Diameter and the same wall thickness a tubular floor element 20 on. The lower edge of the table sleeve 14 and the upper Edge of the bottom element 20 are at an equal angle to Beveled axis so that support edges 42 are formed. A outer guide sleeve 44 coaxially engages around the table sleeve 14 and the upper end of the bottom member 20 and is with the table sleeve 14 firmly connected, e.g. B. welded.

In der in Figur 5 gezeigten Stellung liegen die Stützkanten 42 der Tischhülse 14 und des Bodenelements 20 über den gesamten Umfang aneinander an, so daß sich die tiefste Stellung der Tischplatte 10 ergibt. Wird das Bodenelement 20 gegenüber der Tischhülse 14 verdreht, so wandert der höchste Punkt der Stützkante 42 des Bodenelements 20 an der Stützkante 42 der Tischhülse 14 entlang und verschiebt sich nach unten, so daß sich die Länge des Fußes ändert. Mittels einer in der Führungshülse 44 sitzenden Klemmschraube 46 kann das Bodenelement 20 in der gewünschten Drehstellung und damit der Fuß in der gewünschten Höhe arretiert werden.The support edges 42 lie in the position shown in FIG the table sleeve 14 and the bottom element 20 over the entire Extent of each other, so that the lowest position of the Table top 10 results. If the floor element 20 compared to the Twisted table sleeve 14, so the highest point of the Supporting edge 42 of the base element 20 on the supporting edge 42 of the Table sleeve 14 along and moves downward, so that the length of the foot changes. By means of one in the guide sleeve 44 seated clamping screw 46, the base element 20 in the desired turning position and thus the foot in the desired one Height can be locked.

Figur 6 zeigt ein sechstes Ausführungsbeispiel des Fußes.
In diesem Ausführungsbeispiel ist die das Tischrohrelement bildende Tischhülse 14 an dem Rahmen 12 befestigt, beispielsweise angeschweißt. Die Tischhülse 14 greift in den Durchbruch 24 der Tischplatte 10 ein, so daß die Tischplatte 10 auf dem Rahmen 12 positioniert und fixiert ist. An dem nach unten über den Rahmen 12 hinausragenden Ende der Tischhülse 14 ist eine Führungshülse 44 aufgeschoben und mittels eines Klemmringes 48 abnehmbar fest mit der Tischhülse 14 verbunden. Der Klemmring 48 weist eine ausreichende Wandstärke auf, um ein Gewinde für Klemmschrauben 50 aufzunehmen. Es kann daher eine verhältnismäßig dünnwandige Führungshülse 44 verwendet werden.Figure 6 shows a sixth embodiment of the foot.
In this exemplary embodiment, the table sleeve 14 forming the table tube element is fastened to the frame 12, for example welded on. The table sleeve 14 engages in the opening 24 of the table top 10 so that the table top 10 is positioned and fixed on the frame 12. At the end of the table sleeve 14 projecting downward beyond the frame 12, a guide sleeve 44 is pushed on and is connected to the table sleeve 14 in a detachable manner by means of a clamping ring 48. The clamping ring 48 has a sufficient wall thickness to accommodate a thread for clamping screws 50. A relatively thin-walled guide sleeve 44 can therefore be used.

In die Führungshülse 44 ist das Bodenelement 20 teleskopisch von unten eingeschoben. Das Bodenelement 20 ist ebenfalls als Rundrohr ausgebildet und in der Führungshülse 44 verdrehbar und axial beweglich. Der Außendurchmesser des Bodenelements 20 ist etwa geringer als der Innendurchmesser der Führungshülse 44. In die äußere Mantelfläche des Bodenelements 20 ist eine schraubenlinienförmige Nut eingedreht, in die ein Federdraht 52 eingelegt ist. Die Differenz zwischen Innendurchmesser der Führungshülse 44 und Außendurchmesser des Bodenteils 20, die Tiefe der eingedrehten schraubenlinienförmigen Nut und der Durchmesser des Federdrahts 52 sind so aufeinander abgestimmt, daß der Federdraht 52 im Paßsitz an dem Innenumfang der Führungshülse 44 anliegt und unverschiebbar in der Nut festgelegt ist. Über den Federdraht 52 wird somit das Bodenelement 20 exakt in der Führungshülse 44 geführt. In die Führungshülse 44 ist radial ein Stützbolzen 54 eingesetzt, dessen inneres Ende an der äußeren Mantelfläche des Bodenelements 20 anliegt. Auf diese Weise bildet der Federdraht 52 eine schraubenlinienförmige Stützbahn für den Stützbolzen 54, so daß durch Verdrehen des Bodenelements 20 gegenüber der Führungshülse 44 sich der Stützbolzen 54 auf dem Federdraht 52 verschiebt. Da sich die Führungshülse 44 über den Stützbolzen 54 auf dem Federdraht 52 und damit auf dem Bodenelement 20 vertikal abstützt, ist durch Verdrehen des Bodenelements 20 eine Höhenverstellung über mehrere Windungen des Federdrahtes 52 möglich.In the guide sleeve 44, the bottom member 20 is telescopic inserted below. The bottom element 20 is also a round tube formed and rotatable in the guide sleeve 44 and axially movable. The outer diameter of the bottom member 20 is approximately less than the inside diameter of the guide sleeve 44. In the outer lateral surface of the base element 20 is a helical one Screwed in the groove, in which a spring wire 52 is inserted is. The difference between the inner diameter of the guide sleeve 44 and outer diameter of the bottom part 20, the depth of the screwed helical groove and the diameter of the spring wire 52 are coordinated so that the spring wire 52 fits snugly on the inner circumference of the guide sleeve 44 rests and fixed immovably in the groove is. The base element 20 thus becomes exact via the spring wire 52 guided in the guide sleeve 44. In the guide sleeve 44 is radially a support bolt 54 is used, the inner end of which outer circumferential surface of the base element 20 abuts. To this The spring wire 52 thus forms a helical shape Support track for the support bolt 54, so that by turning the Bottom element 20 opposite the guide sleeve 44 of the support bolt 54 moves on the spring wire 52. Because the guide sleeve 44 via the support bolt 54 on the spring wire 52 and so that it is supported vertically on the base element 20 is by twisting of the floor element 20 a height adjustment over several Windings of the spring wire 52 possible.

In den Figuren 7 bis 9 ist ein siebtes Ausführungsbeispiel des Fußes gezeigt.In Figures 7 to 9 is a seventh embodiment of the Shown foot.

Bei dem siebten Ausführungsbeispiel ist die das Tischrohrelement bildende Tischhülse 14 mit dem Rahmen 12 einstückig verbunden. Die Tischplatte 10 sitzt auf dem Rahmen 12 auf und ist mit diesem verschraubt. Das Trageelement 26 ist einerseits in der Tischhülse 14 teleskopisch geführt und andererseits in dem rohrförmigen Bodenelement 20, welches denselben Innendurchmesser wie die Tischhülse 14 aufweist.In the seventh embodiment, this is the table tube element forming table sleeve 14 integrally connected to the frame 12. The table top 10 sits on the frame 12 and is with screwed this. The support member 26 is on the one hand in the Table sleeve 14 guided telescopically and on the other hand in the tubular Bottom element 20, which has the same inner diameter as the table sleeve 14 has.

In Figur 7 ist die Situation dargestellt, in welcher die Tischplatte 10 ihre tiefste Stellung einnimmt und kein zusätzliches Funktionselement 30 oberhalb der Tischplatte 10 benötigt wird. Die Tischhülse 14 ist auf dem Trageelement 26 nach unten geschoben, so daß sie oben auf dem Bodenelement 20 aufsitzt und vertikal durch dieses abgestützt wird. Das Trageelement 26 ist nach unten in die Tischhülse 14 und das Bodenelement 20 geschoben, so daß sich das Trageelement 26 vollständig unterhalb der Oberfläche der Tischplatte 10 befindet. Eine Deckkappe 56 ist in den Durchbruch 24 der Tischplatte 10 eingesetzt und verschließt diesen Durchbruch 24 bündig mit der Oberfläche der Tischplatte 10. FIG. 7 shows the situation in which the table top 10 occupies its lowest position and no additional Functional element 30 above the table top 10 is required. The table sleeve 14 is pushed down on the support element 26, so that it sits on top of the floor element 20 and vertically is supported by this. The support member 26 is after pushed down into the table sleeve 14 and the bottom element 20, so that the support member 26 is completely below the surface the table top 10 is located. A top cap 56 is in the Breakthrough 24 of the table top 10 inserted and closes this opening 24 is flush with the surface of the table top 10th

Figur 8 zeigt die Situation, in welcher die Tischplatte 10 höher eingestellt ist und ebenfalls kein Funktionselement 30 benötigt wird. Das Trageelement 26, welches mittels der Klemmschraube 28 in der Tischhülse 14 geklemmt ist, wird telesko-pisch aus dem Bodenelement 20 nach oben gezogen. Zwischen den oberen Rand des Bodenelementes 20 und den unteren Rand der Tischhülse 14 werden Distanzstützelemente 58 eingesetzt, die sich auf dem Bodenelement 20 abstützen und die Distanzhülse 14 und mit dieser die Tischplatte 10 in der gewünschten Höhe tragen. Die Distanzstützelemente 58 sind vorzugsweise als ringförmige Hülsen ausgebildet, die das Trageelement 26 umschließen. Zweckmäßigerweise sind die Distanzstützelemente 58 geschlitzte Hülsen, die aus Kunststoff gefertigt sind, so daß sie auseinandergespreizt und von der Seite auf das Trageelement 26 aufgeklipst werden können.Figure 8 shows the situation in which the table top 10 is higher is set and also does not require a functional element 30 becomes. The support element 26, which by means of the clamping screw 28 is clamped in the table sleeve 14, becomes telescopic from the Floor element 20 pulled upwards. Between the top of the Bottom element 20 and the lower edge of the table sleeve 14 Distance support elements 58 used, which are on the floor element Support 20 and the spacer sleeve 14 and with this Wear table top 10 at the desired height. The spacer support elements 58 are preferably designed as annular sleeves, which enclose the support member 26. Conveniently are the spacer support elements 58 slotted sleeves made of Plastic are made so that they spread apart and can be clipped onto the support element 26 from the side.

Figur 9 zeigt eine weitere Situation, in welcher zusätzlich noch Funktionselemente 30 oberhalb der Tischplatte 10 vorgesehen sind. Hierzu wird das Trageelement 26 nach Lösen der Klemmschraube 28 teleskopisch weiter durch die Tischhülse 14 nach oben gezogen, bis das Trageelement 26 in der gewünschten Länge über die Oberfläche der Tischplatte 10 hinausragt. In dieser Position wird das Trageelement 26 wiederum durch die Klemmschraube 28 fixiert. Auf das Trageelement 26 können nun oberhalb der Tischplatte 10 weitere Distanzstützelemente 58 aufgesetzt werden, die die Funktionselemente 30 auf dem Trageelement 26 in der gewünschten Höhe über der Tischplatte 10 vertikal abstützen.Figure 9 shows a further situation, in which additionally Functional elements 30 are provided above the table top 10 are. For this purpose, the support member 26 after loosening the clamping screw 28 telescopically further through the table sleeve 14 pulled up until the support member 26 in the desired length extends beyond the surface of the table top 10. In this Position is the support member 26 in turn by the clamping screw 28 fixed. On the support member 26 can now above 10 further distance support elements 58 are placed on the table top which, the functional elements 30 on the support member 26 in support the desired height vertically above the table top 10.

Auch wenn das Trageelement 26 in der in Figur 9 gezeigten Situation über die Tischplatte 10 hinaus ausgezogen ist und zusätzliche Funktionselemente 30 trägt, kann die Tischplatte 10 in der Höhe dadurch verstellt werden, daß Distanzstützele-mente 58 zwischen das Bodenelement 20 und die Tischhülse 14 eingesetzt werden oder dort befindliche Distanzstützelemente 58 weggenommen werden. Die Höhe der Funktionselemente 30 über der Tischplatte 10 wird durch diese Höhenverstellung der Tischplatte 10 nicht beeinflußt. Even if the support element 26 in the situation shown in Figure 9 is extended beyond the table top 10 and additional Functional elements 30 carries, the table top 10 in the Height can be adjusted by using distance support elements 58 inserted between the base member 20 and the table sleeve 14 are removed or distance support elements 58 located there become. The height of the functional elements 30 above the table top 10 is not by this height adjustment of the table top 10 influenced.

In Figur 10 ist ein achtes Ausführungsbeispiel des Fußes gezeigt.An eighth exemplary embodiment of the foot is shown in FIG.

In Übereinstimmung mit dem siebten Ausführungsbeispiel ist das Trageelement 26 einerseits teleskopisch in dem Bodenelement 20 geführt und andererseits ist die das Tischrohrelement bildende Tischhülse 14 auf dem Trageelement 26 verschiebbar geführt. Die Tischhülse 14 ist mittels eines Verbindungsstückes 36 mit der Unterseite der Tischplatte 10 verschraubt. Zunächst wird das Trageelement 26 in Bezug auf die Tischplatte 10 so eingestellt, daß das Trageelement 26 entweder über die Tischplatte hinausragt, wie dies in Figur 10 gezeigt ist, oder sich unter der Oberfläche der Tischplatte 10 befindet, wie dies in den Figuren 7 und 8 für das vorangehende Ausführungsbeispiel gezeigt ist. In dieser gegenseitigen Einstellung von Trageelement 26 und Tischhülse 14 wird die Tischhülse 14 auf dem Trageelement 26 mittels eines Klemmringes 60 und einer Klemmschraube 62 fixiert. Falls das Trageelement 26 über die Tischplatte 10 hinausragt, können auf dem Trageelement 26 zusätzliche Funktionselemente 30 angeordnet werden und in der gewünschten Höhe über der Tischplatte 10, z. B. ebenfalls mittels eines Klemmringes 60 und einer Klemmschraube 62 fixiert werden.In accordance with the seventh embodiment, this is Carrying element 26, on the one hand, telescopically in the base element 20 guided and on the other hand is the one forming the table tube element Table sleeve 14 slidably guided on the support member 26. The Table sleeve 14 is by means of a connector 36 with the Screwed underside of the table top 10. First of all, it will Carrying element 26 is set in relation to the table top 10 so that the support element 26 either protrudes beyond the table top, as shown in Figure 10, or under the Surface of the table top 10 is as shown in the figures 7 and 8 for the previous embodiment. In this mutual adjustment of the support member 26 and table sleeve 14 is the table sleeve 14 on the support member 26 by means of a clamping ring 60 and a clamping screw 62 fixed. If the support element 26 projects beyond the table top 10 arranged on the support member 26 additional functional elements 30 and at the desired height above the table top 10, e.g. B. also by means of a clamping ring 60 and one Clamping screw 62 can be fixed.

Nun kann die Tischplatte 10 gegebenenfalls zusammen mit den Funktionselementen 30 in der Höhe eingestellt werden. Hierzu wird das Trageelement 26 teleskopisch aus dem Bodenelement 20 so weit ausgezogen, bis die Tischplatte 10 die gewünschte Höhe einnimmt. In dieser Höhe wird das Trageelement 26 in dem Bodenelement 20 fixiert, wozu ein weiterer Klemmring 64 mit Klemmschraube 66 dient, der das Trageelement 26 in dem Bodenelement 20 klemmend einspannt. Now the table top 10 can optionally together with the Functional elements 30 can be adjusted in height. For this the support member 26 becomes telescopic from the base member 20 extended far until the table top 10 the desired height occupies. At this height, the support element 26 is in the bottom element 20 fixed, which is another clamping ring 64 with clamping screw 66, which serves the support element 26 in the base element 20 clamped.
