  • a disadvantage of such rollable tables is, however, as in the rest of non-rollable tables have a limited stackability.
  • Large tables can be stacked on top of one another with their table tops to be ordered.
  • different large and different height tables can also be used in larger, however, limited number can be stacked due to their usability.
  • a stack or stowing a large number of tables of the same size however so far not possible, which is why in connection with conference rooms the tables are either placed on the walls when not in use or must be stored in an extra room.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide the aforementioned Develop table in such a way that it is stacked in large numbers to save space can be.
  • the tables stacked in this way are separated and the table top in a horizontal Folded down position, in which it rests on the frame, can the table either individually or in a conventional manner be used.
  • the table top support frame consists of a vertical frame, on the top of which the table top can be swiveled is articulated, and out of a support for this vertical frame diverging from the frame essentially in a V-shape and on the ground includes legs standing up from the frame, on which the table top in a horizontal use position can be folded down.
  • the V-shaped support runs below the one that is folded down Table top is at least essentially horizontal and then goes vertical descending table legs over. This ensures that this in large Number of horizontally stackable tables ensures the same legroom as one conventional table of the type in question.
  • the necessary stability also in Area of the vertical frame, and also a ensure an attractive appearance of the entire table top support frame is the vertical frame of the frame as upside down U-shaped frame formed, the side legs form table legs, and on whose top horizontal base hinges the table top is.
  • the pivot bearings for the table top can be formed in a conventional manner his. However, plastic molded parts fastened to the underside of the table top are preferred with aligned holes for the passage of the horizontal base of the U-shaped vertical frame.
  • the generally V-shaped support of the table top support frame for horizontal Stackability of the table according to the invention a smaller clear height than that Has frame or the lower edge of the folded-up table top are Spacers provided to support the table top on the legs like this support that it extends horizontally in its position of use.
  • Prefers these spacers are attached to the underside of the table top and lie on the top of the frame support or are in clamp engagement with the legs of the prop.
  • the clamping parts are preferred with regard to their Clamping force designed so that the clamping engagement can be released easily can that the table top is raised from its position of use.
  • a stricter clamp bracket can be provided, for example allows the table by lifting it slightly on its wheel-free side roll away under attack on the table top, and to release the clamp bracket handles are provided on the clamping parts.
  • measures are advantageously taken to ensure that the to fix the vertical position of the folded-up table top detachably.
  • a device for locking the table top into consideration.
  • this locking device from one mechanically operated latchbolt exist, which is in its locked position supported on the table top support frame.
  • An advantageous training this basic version sees one spring-loaded in its unlocked position Latch in front of the table top and in its locked position can be snapped into which it is supported on the table top support frame.
  • this is done Fold up the table top only manually.
  • the table shown in Fig. 1 has a table top 1 and a support frame 2 for the Table top 1 on.
  • the support frame 2 consists of a vertical, on upside down U-shaped frame 3 with two lateral vertical ones 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 by means of two plastic tabs 7 and 8 on the frame base 6 hinged.
  • the tabs 7 and 8 are offset inward from the Lower edge 9 of the table top pivoted up to its vertical position in FIG. 1 1, and the lower edge 9 is a predetermined amount in the downward direction from base 6 in front.
  • the lower ends of the two frame legs 4 and 5 are in a manner known per se with rollers or wheels 10 and 11 respectively equipped, which are pivotally mounted about a vertical axis.
  • the support frame consists of a support 12 generally V-shaped.
  • the support 12 is made of a corresponding bent tube formed in one piece.
  • the crown is the V-shaped one Support 12 formed flattened, and this straight support element 13 is in the middle welded to the frame base 6.
  • On the horizontal support part 13 join vertically diverging legs, which in a first Sections 14 and 15 are substantially horizontal and vertically downward extending table legs 16 and 17 merge.
  • the horizontal Sections 14 and 15 of the support 12 correspond approximately in terms of their length the length of the table top 1 from its lower edge 9 to its upper edge 18, based on the folded position of the table top 1 of Fig. 1, and in Area of the upper edge 10 are spacers on the underside of the table top 1 19 and 20 provided, by means of which in their horizontal position of use pivoted table top 1 on the horizontal sections 14 and 15 of the support 12 rests.
  • the height of the horizontal support sections 14 and 15 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 by that the support 12 starting from its connecting area 13 to the frame 3 curved downward before entering the two horizontal leg sections 14 and 15 passes.
  • this allows reduced height of the support 12 compared to the frame 3 or the lower edge 9 of the folded-up tabletop 1 a nesting of a variety of Tables according to the invention with the tabletops folded up, achieving this a space-saving horizontal stacking of the tables (see Fig. 4), the Stack density, which is typically about 10 cm, due to the steepness of the bent Area between the connection area 13 and the horizontal Support legs 14 and 15 is fixed.
