Definitions
- the invention relates to a table with a table top and a support frame provided with rollers for the table top.
- tables of this type are suitable for use at different locations or for setting up a table arrangement with an enlarged table surface, for example for conference purposes.
- the rollers of the table can be formed, for example, as stop sliders, and / or only two of, for example, four table legs can be provided with rollers, while the other two table legs fix the position of the table, which is lifted at the end, on which the roller-free table legs are provided, can be easily moved and maneuvered.
- An object of the present invention is to provide the aforementioned
- a horizontal stacking of a large number of tables with a high stacking density can be achieved in that, on the one hand, the table top at a table end, preferably at the table end which is provided with castors, can be folded up, while on the other hand the one released thereby Table frame, insofar as it protrudes from the folded-up table top, has a general V-shape and lies lower than at least the lower edge of the folded-up table top, so that a large number of tables can be stacked horizontally when the table top is folded up with adjacent table tops and telescoped frames.
- the table can be used either individually or in a conventional manner.
- the table top support frame consists of a vertically extending frame, on the top of which the table top is pivotally articulated, and of a support for this vertical frame which, starting from the frame, diverges essentially in a V-shape and stands up on the ground far from the frame includes on which the table top can be folded down into a horizontal position of use.
- the V-shaped support extends at least substantially horizontally below the folded-down table top and then merges into vertically downwardly extending table legs. This ensures that this in large
- the vertical frame of the frame is formed as an upside-down U-shaped frame, the side of which Form legs table legs, and at the overhead horizontal base, the table top is pivoted.
- the pivot bearings for the table top can be formed in a conventional manner. However, preference is given to plastic molded parts fastened to the underside of the table top with bores aligned with one another for the passage of the horizontal base of the U-shaped vertical frame.
- spacers are provided to support the table top on the legs of the support so that it extends horizontally in its position of use. These spacers are preferably fastened to the underside of the table top and lie on the top of the frame support or are in clamping engagement with the legs of the support.
- the clamping parts are preferably designed with regard to their clamping force in such a way that the clamping engagement can be released simply by lifting the table top out of its position of use.
- a stricter clamp holder can be provided which, for example, allows the table to be rolled away by slightly lifting it on its wheel-free side while engaging the table top, and handles are provided on the clamp parts to release the clamp holder.
- Measures are advantageously taken in accordance with the invention to releasably fix the table top folded up into its vertical position.
- a device for locking the table top comes into consideration.
- this locking device can consist of one mechanically operated latchbolts, which are supported in their locked position on the table top support frame.
- An advantageous further development of this basic design provides a bolt which is spring-biased in its unlocking position, which is guided on the table top and can be locked into its locking position in which it is supported on the table top support frame.
- the table top is only folded up manually.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the table according to the invention with the table top folded up
- FIG. 1 shows a preferred embodiment of a table top locking device for fixing the vertical table top position shown in FIG. 1,
- FIG. 4 shows a plurality of horizontally stacked tables according to the invention with an alternative embodiment of the V-shaped support of the table top support frame
- FIG. 5 shows several use positions of the table according to the invention
- FIG. 6 shows one of the use and transition positions of the table shown in FIG Tables according to the invention together with a conventional table provided with rollers.
- the table shown in Fig. 1 has a table top 1 and a support frame 2 for the table top 1.
- the support frame 2 consists of a vertical, upside-down U-shaped frame 3 with two lateral vertical legs 4 and 5 and an overhead horizontal base 6. This U-shaped frame is preferably bent from a metal tube.
- the table top 1 is articulated to the frame base 6 by means of two plastic tabs 7 and 8.
- the tabs 7 and 8 are offset inwards from the lower edge 9 of the table top 1 pivoted up to its vertical position in FIG. 1, and the lower edge 9 protrudes from the base 6 by a predetermined amount in the downward direction.
- the lower ends of the two frame legs 4 and 5 are equipped in a manner known per se with rollers or wheels 10 and 11, respectively, which are pivotally mounted about a vertical axis.
- the support frame consists of a support 1 2 generally V-shaped shape.
- the support 1 2 is formed in one piece from a correspondingly bent tube.
- the V-shaped support 1 2 is flattened, and this straight support element 1 3 is welded in the middle to the frame base 6.
- the horizontally extending support part 1 3 is adjoined by vertically diverging legs, which in a first
- Sections 14 and 1 5 run essentially horizontally and merge into vertically downwardly extending table legs 1 6 and 1 7.
- the horizontal sections 14 and 1 5 of the support 1 2 correspond in terms of their length approximately to the length of the table top 1 from its lower edge 9 to its upper edge 18, based on the folded-up position of the table top 1 from FIG. 1, and in
- spacers 19 and 20 are provided on the underside of the table top 1, by means of which the table top 1 pivoted into its horizontal use position rests on the horizontally extending sections 14 and 15 of the support 12.
- the height of the horizontal support sections 14 and 15 is less than the height of the lower edge 9 of the table top 1, starting from the surface or the underside of the wheels 10, 11 in their folded-up position.
- This height difference is realized in the embodiment of FIG. 1 in that the support 1 2 starting from its connecting area 1 3 with the frame
- a locking device 21 is attached to the underside of the table top 1 above its lower edge 9, which has a latch bolt 2 which can be locked in a locking position in which its lower end is supported on the horizontal base of the frame 3 .
- the latch 22 is pivoted about its longitudinal axis in a manner known per se and pulled upwards in FIG. 1.
- An alternative embodiment of a locking device 21 ' is shown schematically in FIG. 3. Accordingly, the bolt 22 'has a bow shape and is biased by means of two springs 23 and 24, which surround its two legs, relative to the housing 25 of the locking device into its unlocked position and can be latched in its locked position in a manner not shown.
- FIG. 2A to 2D Alternative shapes of the two table top spacers 19 and 20 are shown in Figs. 2A to 2D.
- These spacer parts are preferably formed as plastic injection molded parts and each have a fastening flange 30 with four fastening holes for fastening to the underside of the table top 1 and a saddle-shaped support part 31 with a semi-cylindrical support surface 32 which is connected to the
- Contour of the tubular leg sections 14 and 15 is adapted.
- FIG. 5 Base of the U-shaped frame 3 are welded, while their base distal ends are welded to vertical table legs 16, 17.
- Different uses of the table according to the invention are shown by way of example in FIG. 5.
- a plurality of tables formed according to the invention are shown with table tops folded down into their use position, which are put together to form a conference table 40.
- a table with a table top located in a transition position between the use position and the vertical position is shown at 41.
- the table top is brought into this position by lifting at its edge far from the swivel joint.
- the pivoting of the table top into its vertical position can be supported, for example, by a gas pressure spring, not shown.
- FIG. 5 On the far right in FIG. 5, the horizontal stacking of a plurality of tables according to FIG. 4 is shown at 42, while on the left at 43 and in detail in FIG. 6 the start of the stacking process is shown using two identical tables according to the invention, accordingly a second table is rolled over the support 12 of the first table, the table top 1 of which is folded up, until the horizontal base of the vertical frame 3 'of this table abuts the bending region of the horizontally extending support legs 14, 15 of the first table, whereupon the table top 1 'of the second table is folded up so that additional tables can be connected in this way to form a horizontal table stack.
