Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Tisch- oder Abdeckplatte gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Hauptanspruches.The invention relates to a table or cover plate according to the preamble of the main claim.

Eine gattungsbildende Anordnung ist in dem DE 91 04 302 U1 beschrieben. Dieser bekannten Anordnung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Festlegung der Arbeitsplatte dadurch zu erreichen, daß Rahmenelemente eingesetzt werden, die einfach im Aufbau sind, leicht und bequem und einfach mit einer einzigen Operation zusammengebaut werden können und die auch ein leichtes Auseinandernehmen gestatten, so daß ein Lösen von der Arbeitsplatte leicht möglich ist, wodurch gleichzeitig ein Recycling des Kunststoffanteiles dieser Arbeitsplatte und des Holzanteiles dieser Arbeitsplatte getrennt möglich ist.A generic arrangement is in DE 91 04 302 U1 described. This known arrangement is the task to achieve the fixation of the worktop by that frame elements are used that are easy in Construction are light, convenient and easy with a single Operation can be assembled and the one too allow easy disassembly so that loosening of the countertop is easily possible, thereby creating a Recycling the plastic part of this worktop and Wood share of this worktop is possible separately.

Bei der Einrichtung gemäß dem DE 91 04 302 U1 greifen vom Außenrahmen nach innen vorstehende Haken mit ihren vorstehenden Hakennasen unter entsprechende Kanten des Innenrahmens, und zwar etwa in halber Höhe der Gesamthöhe des Innenrahmens. Es ist kein offenes Hakenmaul vorgesehen, das wirksam mit dem Innenrahmen zusammenarbeitet. Die Hakennasen bilden dabei vorspringende Rastvorsprünge, die die Unterkante der entsprechenden stufenförmigen Ausnehmung des Innenrahmens untergreifen. Außerdem sind über die Länge der Randseiten des Außenrahmens gesehen im Abstand voneinander angeordnete und vom oberen Randvorsprung nach unten vorstehende Rastnasen vorgesehen, die hinter eine entsprechende Ausnehmung am oberen Ende des vertikalen Schenkels des Innenrahmens greifen, so daß der Außenrahmen auch hier im oberen Bereich arretiert wird.In the device according to DE 91 04 302 U1 reach from Outer frame protruding inward hook with their protruding Hook noses under corresponding edges of the inner frame, about half the total height of the Inner frame. There is no open hook mouth provided works effectively with the inner frame. The hook noses form projecting locking projections, which the Lower edge of the corresponding step-shaped recess reach under the inner frame. They are also about length the edges of the outer frame seen at a distance from each other arranged and from the upper ledge The tabs below are provided behind a corresponding one Recess at the top of the vertical Grab legs of the inner frame so that the outer frame is also locked here in the upper area.

Die bekannte Einrichtung ist dadurch, daß die unteren Randkanten von Innenrahmen und Außenrahmen nicht miteinander fixiert sind, nicht sehr stabil ausgebildet und benötigt daher zur Herstellung der erforderlichen Stabilität Versteifungsstreben, die sich über die ganze Fläche des durch den Außen- und Innenrahmen eingeschlossenen Raumes ziehen und dadurch natürlich die Abdeckplatte erheblich verteuern.The known device is characterized in that the lower edges of inner frame and outer frame not fixed together are not very stable and therefore required for production the required stability stiffening struts that spread over the entire area of the through the outer and inner frames enclosed space and thereby natural make the cover plate considerably more expensive.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt demgegenüber die Aufgabe zugrunde, die gattungsbildende Einrichtung dahingehend zu verbessern, daß die Stabilität des Rahmens verbessert wird, so daß die Festlegung der Platte besser gesichert ist und trotzdem gewährleistet ist, daß ein getrenntes Entsorgen der verschiedenen Werkstoffe möglich ist, wobei gleichzeitig aber die Rahmen die erforderliche Stabilität ohne Zusatzhilfsmittel aufweisen. In contrast, the present invention has the object based on the generic institution improve that the stability of the frame is improved, so that the fixing of the plate is better secured and still it is ensured that the separate disposal of the various Materials is possible, but at the same time the frame have the required stability without additives.

Diese der Erfindung zugrundeliegende Aufgabe wird durch die Lehre des Hauptanspruches gelöst.This object of the invention is achieved by Teaching of the main claim solved.

Mit anderen Worten ausgedrückt wird vorgeschlagen, daß die den Rahmen bildenden beiden Bauteile, nämlich der Außenrahmen und der Innenrahmen, miteinander verrastet werden, wobei der Außenrahmen mit Haken in und über den Innenrahmen greift. Dabei stützt sich der Innenrahmen auch auf Nasen ab, die vom Außenrahmen vorstehen und im oberen Bereich greift der Außenrahmen vor den Innenrahmen, so daß dadurch im wesentlichen eine rohrförmige Rahmenkonstruktion aus zwei Rahmenprofilen geschaffen wird, die eine sehr hohe Stabilität aufweist.In other words, it is proposed that the the two components forming the frame, namely the outer frame and the inner frame, are locked together, the outer frame with hooks in and over the inner frame takes hold. The inner frame also supports lugs that protrude from the outer frame and in the upper area the outer frame engages in front of the inner frame, so that essentially a tubular frame construction of two Frame profiles is created, which has a very high stability having.

Außerdem sind über die Länge der Randseiten des Innenrahmens gesehen Federzungen vorgesehen, die im zusammengebauten Zustand von Innenrahmen und Außenrahmen die vertikalen Randkanten der Arbeitsplatte federnd beaufschlagen, so daß stets ein gewisser Druck von allen vier Seiten auf die Arbeitsplatte ausgeübt wird oder - falls die Arbeitsplatte rund sein sollte - über den den ganzen Umfang verteilt diese Druckwirkung herbeigeführt wird. Diese Federteile können gemäß einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung als Federzungen materialeinheitlich aus dem Werkstoff des Innenrahmens ausgeformt sein.They are also about the length of the edge sides of the inner frame seen spring tongues provided in the assembled Condition of the inner frame and outer frame the vertical Spring edge of the worktop, see above that there is always a certain pressure from all four sides on the worktop is exercised or - if the worktop is round should - this pressure effect is distributed over the entire circumference is brought about. These spring parts can according to one another feature of the invention as spring tongues of the same material be formed from the material of the inner frame.

Die feuchtigkeitsempfindlichen, vertikalen Randkanten der Arbeitsplatte sind mit einer die Randkanten gegen Feuchtigkeit schützenden Beschichtung versehen, wobei vorzugsweise ein doppelseitig wirkendes Dichtband, das als Klebeband ausgebildet ist, eingesetzt wird. Ein solches Klebeband kann beim Entsorgen der Arbeitsplatte leicht von der üblicherweise aus Holz bestehenden Arbeitsplatte entfernt werden, so daß einmal reine Kunststoffteile für das Recycling anfallen, die Arbeitsplatte beispielsweise der Verbrennung zugeführt werden kann und das Klebeband ebenfalls getrennt entsorgt werden kann.The moisture-sensitive, vertical edges of the worktop are with one the edges against moisture protective coating, preferably a double-sided sealing tape, which is designed as an adhesive tape is used. Such an adhesive tape can be disposed of the worktop is slightly different from that usually made of wood existing worktop can be removed so that once pure Plastic parts for recycling are incurred, for example the worktop can be incinerated and that Adhesive tape can also be disposed of separately.
