Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Tisch mit einem Gestell unter einem unterteilten Tischblatt, wobei ein erster Tischblattteil fest am Gestell befestigt und ein zweiter Tischblattteil an wenigstens einem ein Schwenkteil bildenden Tischblattteil angelenkt und in der Höhe verstellbar ist.The present invention relates to a table with a Frame under a divided tabletop, with a first Tabletop part firmly attached to the frame and a second Tabletop part on at least one forming a swivel part Table leaf part is articulated and adjustable in height.

In Konferenz- oder Sitzungsräumen besteht neben dem Bedürfnis nach Tischen auf Normalhöhe auch ein Bedürfnis nach Tischflächen auf Stehpulthöhe. Höhere Tischflächen werden beispielsweise benötigt als Ablagefläche für ein Skript bei einem stehend gehaltenen Vortrag, als Stellfläche für einen Projektor oder auch lediglich, um etwas darauf gut sichtbar aufzustellen. Dazu werden unterschiedliche Tischhöhen, in der Regel als zu den Tischen auf Normalhöhe benachbarte Tischflächen benötigt.In conference or meeting rooms there is next to the Need for tables at normal height also a need for Table surfaces at standing desk height. Higher table surfaces will be for example, as a storage space for a script a lecture held as a standing space for one Projector or just to make something clearly visible on it set up. For this purpose, different table heights are used Rule as adjacent to the normal height tables Table surfaces needed.

Aus der Schweizerischen Patentschrift Nr. 225 533 ist ein in ein Zeichenpult verwandelbares Flachpult bekannt, welches eine Pulttischplatte aufweist, welche mit einklappbaren Fussstützen versehen ist. Die Fussstützen sind einerseits an der Pulttischplatte und andererseits an einem Oberteil des Flachpultes angelenkt. Durch Aufklappen der Fussstützen wird die Pulttischplatte im hinteren Bereich angehoben. Zum Horizontalstellen der Pulttischplatte sind zwei aufklappbare Querstützen vorgesehen. Nachteilig dabei ist, dass zwischen dem angehobenen Tischblattteil und dem stationären Tischblattteil ein Spalt entsteht, in welchen auf dem Tisch befindliche Gegenstände fallen können. Auch kann die angehobene Tischplatte lediglich in der durch Querstützen und schwenkbaren Fussstützen gegebenen Höhe horizontal ausgerichtet werden. Weiter ist nachteilig, dass die Tischplatte in der Höhe nicht stufenlos verstellbar ist.From Swiss Patent No. 225 533 known a flat desk convertible into a drawing desk, which has a desk top, which with retractable footrests is provided. The footrests are on the one hand on the desk top and on the other hand on one Articulated upper part of the flat desk. By opening the The desk table top becomes footrests in the rear area raised. For horizontal positioning of the desk top two hinged cross supports are provided. A disadvantage here is that between the raised tabletop part and the stationary tabletop part creates a gap in which on objects on the table can fall. Can too the raised table top only in the by cross supports and swiveling footrests horizontally given height be aligned. Another disadvantage is that the Table top is not infinitely adjustable in height.

Die DE 75228 offenbart einen Tisch, der in ein Pult umwandelbar ist. Die Tischplatte besteht aus zwei aufklappbaren Teilen. Der eine dieser Teile ist mit einer Stützleite versehen. Am anderen Teil der Tischplatte ist eine Ergänzungsplatte angelenkt, die bei Nichtgebrauch unter der Tischplatte und innerhalb des Zargenrahmens des Tisches liegt. Diese Ergänzungsplatte kann herausgeklappt werden und dann gegen den aufgerichteten Plattenteil abgestützt werden. In dieser Lage hält die Ergänzungsplatte die Tischplattenteile in der gegebenen Steil- bzw. Schräglage fest. Für ein Doppelpult sind beide aufklapparen Teile in Schräglage auf einer gemeinsamen Stütze abstützbar. Am einen aufklappbaren Teil ist dazu die Stütze, am anderen die auf der Stütze auflegbare Ergänzungplatte angelenkt.DE 75228 discloses a table which is in a desk is convertible. The table top consists of two hinged parts. One of these parts is with one Provide support ladder. On the other part of the table top is one Supplementary plate articulated, which when not in use under the Tabletop and within the frame of the table lies. This supplementary plate can be folded out and then be supported against the erected plate part. The supplementary plate holds the in this position Table top parts in the given steep or inclined position firmly. For a double desk, both foldable parts are in Lean position can be supported on a common support. On one the opening part is the support, the other part is the the support can be attached to the support plate.

Es ist deshalb Aufgabe der Erfindung einen Tisch zu schaffen, welcher wahlweise, je nach dem Bedürfnis des Benützers, eine durchgehend gleich hohe Tischplatte oder eine von dieser Höhe angehobene Teilfläche aufweisen kann. Die Höhe der anhebbaren Tischfläche soll vorzugsweise stufenlos verstellbar sein. Eine elegante Lösung, bei der die Mechanik sichtbar sein darf und das ästhetische Auge gleichwohl nicht stört, wird zudem bevorzugt.It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a table create which, depending on the needs of the User, a table top of the same height or a can have raised partial surface from this height. The The height of the table surface that can be lifted should preferably be infinitely variable be adjustable. An elegant solution where the mechanics may be visible and the aesthetic eye may not disturbing, is also preferred.

Erfindungsgemäss wird dies durch die Gesamtheit der Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 erreicht. Der Tisch hat den Vorteil, dass ein separates Schwenkteil unterhalb der Tischplatte vermieden werden kann. Durch Verschwenken des Schwenkteils wird dieser Teil des Tischblattes geneigt und der höhenverstellbare Tischblattteil wenigstens einseitig bis z.B. auf Stehpulthöhe oder auch höher angehoben. Ohne eine zusätzliche Stütze am höhenverstellbaren Tischblattteil wird dieser durch das Verschwenken des Schwenkteils schräg gestellt. Die Höhenverstellung ist begrenzt durch die Breite des schwenkbaren Tischblattteils.According to the invention, this is achieved by the entirety of the Features of claim 1 achieved. The table has the advantage that a separate swivel part below the table top can be avoided. By swiveling the swivel part this part of the table top is inclined and the Height-adjustable tabletop part at least on one side e.g. raised to standing desk height or higher. Without one additional support on the height-adjustable tabletop part this by tilting the swivel part posed. The height adjustment is limited by the width of the swiveling tabletop part.

Wenn der schwenkbare Tischblattteil ein einziges, von einer zu einer anderen Tischkante reichendes Schwenkteil bildet, hat der Tisch den Vorteil, dass keine Öffnung zwischen Schwenkteil und höhenverstellbarem Tischblattteil entsteht, und der festbleibende Tischblattteil nicht unter den höhenverstellbaren Tischblattteil gelangt.If the swiveling tabletop part is a single part of a swivel part reaching to another edge of the table forms, the table has the advantage that no opening between swivel part and height-adjustable table leaf part arises, and the permanent table leaf part is not under reaches the height-adjustable tabletop part.

Vorteilhaft ist wenigstens ein verschwenkbarer Arm am Gestell angeordnet und sind der höhenverstellbare Tischblattteil, das Schwenkteil, das Gestell und der verschwenkbare Arm miteinander in der Art eines Parallelogramms gelenkig verbunden.At least one pivotable arm is advantageous Frame arranged and are the height adjustable Tabletop part, the swivel part, the frame and the pivotable arm with each other in the manner of a Parallelogram articulated.

Dadurch kann durch Verändern eines Winkels dieses Viereckes der gesamte höhenverstellbare Tischblattteil in der Höhe verstellt werden. Ist das Viereck ein Parallelogramm, verschiebt sich der höhenverstellbare Tischblattteil zudem parallel.This can be done by changing an angle Quadrilateral the entire height-adjustable table leaf part in the Height can be adjusted. If the square is a parallelogram, the height-adjustable tabletop part also moves parallel.

Dieses Heben und Senken des höhenverstellbaren Tischblattteils kann manuell geschehen. Vorteilhaft ist jedoch unter dem Tischblatt ein Motor angeordnet, mit welchem über einen Hebel die Winkel des Parallelogramms verändert werden können, um den höhenverstellbaren Tischblattteil zu heben oder zu senken. Dazu ist beispielsweise eine Spindel am Motor und eine Mutter am Hebel angeordnet. Der Hebel ist zweckmässigerweise am schwenkbaren Arm oder am schwenkbaren Tischblattteil angeordnet.This raising and lowering the height adjustable Tabletop part can be done manually. It is advantageous however, a motor is arranged under the table top with which The angle of the parallelogram is changed using a lever can be to the height-adjustable tabletop part raise or lower. For this purpose, for example, a spindle is on Motor and a nut arranged on the lever. The lever is expediently on the pivotable arm or on the pivotable Tabletop part arranged.

Vorzugsweise ist der wenigstens eine schwenkbare Tischblattteil am festen Tischblattteil angelenkt, so dass die drei Tischblattteile durch zwei Gelenke miteinander verbunden sind. Dadurch bleibt das Tischblatt unabhängig von der Position des verstellbaren Tischblattteils zusammenhängend.The at least one is preferably pivotable Tabletop part hinged to the fixed tabletop part, so that the three table top parts by two joints together are connected. This means that the table top remains independent of the position of the adjustable tabletop part contiguous.

Wenn auch die Achsen der beiden Gelenke zwischen den drei Tischblattteilen nicht parallel verlaufen müssen, wird doch ein paralleler Verlauf vorgezogen. Bei nicht parallelen Achsen stellt sich eine mit der Höhe zunehmende Schrägstellung des höhenverstellbaren Tischblattteils gegenüber dem festen Tischblattteil ein.If the axes of the two joints between the three table leaf parts do not have to run parallel but preferred a parallel course. With not parallel Axes arises with increasing height Inclination of the height-adjustable tabletop part opposite the fixed tabletop part.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführung verlaufen die erwähnten Achsen parallel zueinander, aber nicht orthogonal zu den Tischkanten, wodurch bei rechteckiger Grundform des Tisches ein trapezförmiger Teil des Tisches fest bleibt, ein parallelogrammförmiger Teil das Schwenkteil oder Zwischenstück bildet und ein wiederum trapezförmiger Teil als höhenverstellbarer Tischblattteil ausgebildet ist. Der höhenverstellbare Tischblattteil macht dadurch gleichzeitig mit der Hebe- oder Senkbewegung eine Bewegung quer zur Tischkante. Diese Bewegung kann dadurch ermöglicht werden, dass die Achsen der Gelenke zwischen den Tischblattteilen parallel sind zu den Achsen zwischen Traggestell und beweglichem Arm bzw. diesem und dem höhenverstellbaren Tischblattteil verlaufend ausgebildet werden. Anders gesagt müssen die Achsen im Parallelogramm alle parallel verlaufen. Verlaufen die einen Achsen aber orthogonal, während die anderen schiefwinklig zu den Tischkanten verlaufen, kann der höhenverstellbare Tischblattteil im Gelenk zwischen höhenverstellbarem Tischblattteil und beweglichem Arm auch verschiebbar gelagert sein. Dadurch kann die Querverschiebung des höhenverstellbaren Tischblattteils ebenso geschehen. In a preferred embodiment, the mentioned run Axes parallel to each other, but not orthogonal to the Table edges, which gives the table a basic rectangular shape a trapezoidal part of the table remains firm, a parallelogram-shaped part the swivel part or Intermediate piece forms and a trapezoidal part as Height-adjustable tabletop part is formed. The Height-adjustable tabletop part makes it at the same time with the lifting or lowering movement a movement transverse to Table edge. This movement can be made possible that the axes of the joints between the table top parts are parallel to the axes between the support frame and movable arm or this and the height adjustable Tabletop part are designed to run. In other words the axes in the parallelogram must all run parallel. However, one axis is orthogonal, while the the other can run at an oblique angle to the table edges Height-adjustable tabletop part in the joint between height-adjustable tabletop part and movable arm too be slidably mounted. This can cause the transverse displacement of the height-adjustable tabletop part also happen.

Vorteilhaft liegen die Achsen der beiden Gelenke zwischen den Tischblattteilen innerhalb des Tischblattes. Dadurch gibt es zwischen den Tischblattteilen keine sich bei der Bewegung des Stehpultteils öffnenden oder schliessenden Fugen. Insbesondere wenn die Tischblattteile miteinander verzahnt sind und in den Verzahnungen Scharniere bilden, bleibt das Tischblatt auch in den Scharnieren ununterbrochen.The axes of the two joints are advantageously located between the table top parts within the table top. As a result, there are none between the table top parts the movement of the standing desk part opening or closing Put. Especially when the table top parts together are toothed and form hinges in the toothing, the tabletop remains uninterrupted even in the hinges.

Vorteilhaft liegen die Achsen der Gelenke zwischen Traggestell und beweglichem Arm sowie diesem und dem Tischblatt unterhalb des Tischblattes. Sie sind daher den Blicken entzogen. Vorteilhaft steht der Tisch auf Rollen.The axes of the joints are advantageously between Support frame and movable arm and this and that Tabletop below the tabletop. You are therefore the Gazed away. The table is advantageously on wheels.

Vorteilhaft ist die Lage einer der Gelenkachsen zwischen Traggestell und Arm bzw. zwischen Arm und hohenverstellbarem Tischblattteil bezüglich eines der drei beteiligten Teile veränderbar, so dass die Neigung des höhenverstellbaren Tischblattteils veränderbar ist.The position of one of the joint axes between is advantageous Support frame and arm or between arm and height adjustable Tabletop part related to one of the three parts involved changeable so that the incline of the height adjustable Tabletop part is changeable.

Nachfolgend wird ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung unter Bezugnahme auf die einzige Figur beschrieben.The following is an embodiment of the invention described with reference to the single figure.

Der Stufentisch 11 weist ein Traggestell 13 mit vier Beinen 15 und horizontalen Trägern 17 auf. Auf diesem Gestell 13 liegt ein Tischblatt 19 auf. Das Tischblatt 19 weist drei Tischblattteile 21,22,23 auf, von denen die Teile 21 und 22, sowie die Teile 22 und 23 mit Scharnieren 25 bzw. 27 verbunden sind. Der Tischblattteil 23 ist fest auf dem Traggestell 13 befestigt. Der Tischblattteil 21 ist mit einem schwenkbaren Arm 29 an einem horizontalen Träger 17 angelenkt, wobei dieser Arm 29 und das mittlere Tischblattteil 22 in der Projektion senkrecht zur Längskante des Tisches 11 parallel ausgerichtet sind. Dadurch ist das Tischblattteil 21 in der Höhe verstellbar, indem der Arm 29 und das mittlere Tischblattteil 22 verschenkt werden.The step table 11 has a support frame 13 with four Legs 15 and horizontal supports 17. On this rack 13 is a table top 19. The table top 19 has three Tabletop parts 21, 22, 23, of which parts 21 and 22, and parts 22 and 23 with hinges 25 and 27, respectively are connected. The table top part 23 is firmly on the Support frame 13 attached. The table top part 21 is with a pivotable arm 29 on a horizontal support 17th articulated, this arm 29 and the middle Tabletop part 22 in the projection perpendicular to the longitudinal edge of the table 11 are aligned in parallel. That’s it Table leaf part 21 adjustable in height by the arm 29 and the middle table leaf part 22 are given away.

Zum Verschwenken des Tischblattteils 22 und dadurch Höhenverstellen des Tischblattteils 21 ist am mittleren, verschwenkbaren Tischblattteil 22 ein Hebel 31 angeordnet, an welchem eine von einem Motor 33 angetriebene Spindel 35 ansetzt. Der Motor 33 ist verschwenkbar gelagert. Durch drehen der Spindel wird die Distanz zwischen Hebel 31 und Motor vergrössert bzw. verkleinert. Dadurch wird der Hebel 31 verschwenkt und das Tischblattteil 21 angehoben bzw. abgesenkt. Dabei wird auch der Motor 33 und die Spindel 35 verschwenkt.For pivoting the table top part 22 and thereby Height adjustment of the table leaf part 21 is at the middle, pivotable table leaf part 22, a lever 31 arranged on which is a spindle 35 driven by a motor 33 attaches. The motor 33 is pivotally mounted. By rotate the spindle the distance between lever 31 and Motor enlarged or reduced. As a result, the lever 31 pivoted and the table top part 21 raised or lowered. The motor 33 and the spindle 35 are also pivoted.

Da die Scharniere 25 und 27 nicht orthogonal zu den Längskanten des Tischblattes 19 und des Traggestells 13 ausgerichtet sind, verschiebt sich der Tischblattteil 21 beim Anheben auch seitlich. Die Verschiebung entspricht der Abweichung der Tischkante 37 des mittleren Tischteils 22 von der Vertikalen und ist daher abhängig von der Abweichung der Scharnierrichtung zur Senkrechten auf die Tischkante 37 und vom Verschwenkungswinkel α zwischen Traggestell 13 und Tischblattteil 22. Um diese Verschiebung in horizontaler Richtung aufzunehmen, muss der Arm 29 entweder seitlich verschiebbar gelagert sein oder es müssen seine Schwenkachsen parallel zu den Achsen der Scharniere 25 und 27 ausgerichtet sein. Im Ausführungsbeispiel ist der Arm 29 auf einer Achse 41 am Traggestell 13 verschwenkbar und auf einer Achse 39 am Tischblattteil 21 verschwenkbar und verschieblich gelagert.Since the hinges 25 and 27 are not orthogonal to the Longitudinal edges of the table top 19 and the support frame 13 are aligned, the table leaf part 21 shifts when Also lift sideways. The shift corresponds to the Deviation of the table edge 37 of the middle table part 22 from the vertical and is therefore dependent on the deviation of the Hinge direction to the vertical on the table edge 37 and of the pivot angle α between the support frame 13 and Tabletop part 22. Around this shift in horizontal To take direction, the arm 29 must either laterally be slidably mounted or it must have its swivel axes aligned parallel to the axes of the hinges 25 and 27 his. In the exemplary embodiment, the arm 29 is on one axis 41 pivotable on the support frame 13 and on an axis 39 on Tabletop part 21 pivotally and slidably mounted.
