Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Traqqestell für einen PC-Arbeitsplatz, ein Regal oder dergleichen, mit nur zwei tragenden Säulen, die von je einem, sich in der Sichtrichtung des Benutzers erstreckenden, unteren Tragelement getragen sind und zwischen denen wenigstens ein horizontaler Fachboden anbringbar ist.The invention relates to a traqq frame for a PC workstation, a shelf or the like, with only two supporting columns that one each, extending in the direction of view of the user, lower support element are worn and between which at least one horizontal shelf can be attached is.

In neuerer Zeit braucht man derartige Traggestelle für Computer-Arbeitsplätze, wobei der Rechner auf einem unteren Fachboden, wenigstens ein Bildschirm und weiteres Zubehör auf einem mittleren Fachboden und ein Drucker schließlich auf einem oberen Fachboden angeordnet sind. Der mittlere Fachboden kann noch eine vor- und zurückschiebbare Aufnahme oder Ablage für die Tastatur nebst Mauspad haben.
Ein solcher PC-System-Ständer ist vorzugsweise auf Rollen verfahrbar.
Derartige Traggestelle können auch für Karteien und Ablagen in Büros, aber auch für Arbeitsplätze in anderen Betrieben dienen, ebenso wie für Regale. Such supports for computer workstations have recently been required, the computer being arranged on a lower shelf, at least one screen and further accessories on a middle shelf and a printer finally being arranged on an upper shelf. The middle shelf can also have a slide-in receptacle or storage for the keyboard and mouse pad.
Such a PC system stand can preferably be moved on rollers.
Such supports can also be used for files and storage in offices, but also for workplaces in other companies, as well as for shelves.

Sehr stabil sind solche Traggestelle mit vier Säulen, welche die Fachböden jeweils an den Eckbereichen tragen. Viel besser von allen Seiten zugänglich sind aber die Fachböden und die darauf angeordneten Geräte, wenn die Fachböden nur an zwei jeweils an ihrem mittleren Bereich angreifenden Tragsäulen gehaltert sind, insbesondere im Bereich der Längsmittellinie. Hierbei müssen die Befestigungen zwischen Fachböden und Tragsäulen aber auch die Drehmomente aufnehmen, die praktisch unvermeidlich bei außermittiger Lagerung oder Belastung der Fachböden auftreten.Such support frames with four columns are very stable Wear shelves at the corner areas. Much better of The shelves and the ones on them are accessible on all sides arranged devices if the shelves only on two each supporting columns attacking its central area, especially in the area of the longitudinal center line. Here, the Fastening between shelves and columns, but also the Record torques that are practically unavoidable when off-center Storage or loading of the shelves occur.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Traggestell mit nur zwei tragenden Säulen zu schaffen, bei dem die Fachböden auch außermittig belastbar sind, dabei sollen die tragenden Säulen mit den Fachböden schnell und leicht montierbar und demontierbar sein, damit das Traggestell bei Transport und Lagerung nur einen kleinen Raum einnimmt.The invention has for its object to provide a support frame to create only two supporting pillars, in which the Shelves can also be loaded off-center, while the load-bearing columns with the shelves can be assembled quickly and easily and be removable so that the support frame during transport and Storage takes up only a small space.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe besteht gemäß der Erfindung darin, daß je zwei konkave Flansche mit ihren Rücken mit je einer von zwei einander gegenüberliegenden Seiten des Fachbodens verbunden sind, daß die Seitenränder bzw. Flügel der Flansche einen kleineren Abstand a voneinander haben als die Weite b zwischen entsprechenden Anlageflächen an den Säulen, und daß jeder Flansch mittels wenigstens eines Verbindungselementes an die ihm zugewandte Säule anpreßbar. ist.
Die Flanschen entsprechen also in ihrem Querschnitt im wesentlichen dem Profil der Anlageflächen an den Säulen, sind aber etwas stärker abgewinkelt oder gewölbt.The solution to this problem is according to the invention that two concave flanges are connected with their backs to one of two opposite sides of the shelf, that the side edges or wings of the flanges have a smaller distance a from each other than the width b between corresponding contact surfaces on the columns, and that each flange can be pressed onto the column facing it by means of at least one connecting element. is.
The cross-sections of the flanges essentially correspond to the profile of the contact surfaces on the pillars, but are angled or curved somewhat more.

Zur angepreßten bzw. vorgespannten Verbindung der Flansche mit den zugehörigen Säulen ist vorzugsweise vorgesehen, daß jeder Flansch eine obere Schrauböffnung und eine untere Schrauböffnung hat, deren Abstand voneinander dem Abstand entsprechender Gewindeöffnungen an den Säulen entspricht.For the pressed or pre-stressed connection of the flanges with the associated columns are preferably provided that each flange has an upper screw hole and a lower one Has screw opening, the distance from each other the distance corresponding threaded openings on the columns.

Beim Festschrauben verspannt sich der jeweilige Flansch mit der Säule und geht mit ihr ein innig-steifes Verhältnis ein, man erhält eine formschlüssige Verbindung, die auch die auftretenden Kippmomente aufnehmen kann.When screwing tight, the respective flange clamps with the Pillar and enter into an intimately rigid relationship with it, man receives a positive connection that also occurs Can absorb tilting moments.

Aus der GB PS 23 26 328 und auch GB PS 23 26 329 ist bereits ein Regal bekannt, bei dem ebenfälls mehrere Fachböden von nur zwei seitlichen Säulen getragen sind. Dabei sind die Säulen unten aber nicht auf sich in Sichtrichtung bzw. quer zur Breite des Regals erstreckenden Füßen oder Tragelementen abgestützt, sondern das Regal soll sich mittels einer oberen Verbindungsstrebe gegen eine Wand abstützen, dieses Regal ist also nicht selbständig standfähig.
Die Fachböden sind bei diesem Regal von zwei seitlichen Winkelprofilen getragen, an denen außen je eine Halbschale angebracht ist, die zur Anlage gegen eine Säule gelangt, während ein Zapfen in je ein Loch der Säule eingreift. Die Halbschale ist also nicht gegen die Säule angepreßt, so daß die Verbindung nicht kraftschlüssig, sondern nur formschlüssig ist, diese Verbindung ist weniger fest und sicher, vor allem weniger zur Aufnahme außermittiger Lasten geeignet.A shelf is already known from GB PS 23 26 328 and also GB PS 23 26 329, in which several shelves are also supported by only two side columns. However, the columns below are not supported on feet or supporting elements extending in the direction of view or transversely to the width of the shelf, but rather the shelf is to be supported against a wall by means of an upper connecting strut, so this shelf is not able to stand on its own.
The shelves on this shelf are supported by two side angle profiles, on the outside of which a half-shell is attached, which comes to rest against a column, while a pin engages in a hole in the column. The half-shell is therefore not pressed against the column, so that the connection is not non-positive, but only positive, this connection is less firm and secure, especially less suitable for absorbing off-center loads.

Aus der US PS 3,096,107 ist ferner ein Verbindungssystem zum Aufbau eines tragenden Rahmens für ein Baugerüst vorbekannt. Dabei sind aber, wie bei Baugerüsten üblich, vier vertikale Tragsäulen vorgesehen. Zwischen den tragenden Säulen erstrecken sich jeweils zwei horizontale Träger, auf welche die eigentlichen Arbeits-Plattformen aufgelegt werden können. An den beiden Enden jedes horizontalen Trägers sind dabei C-förmige Klemmglieder angebracht, die jeweils mit der gegenüberliegenden Säule verspannt oder verschraubt werden. Dabei sind die horizontalen Träger nicht mit dem Rücken oder dem mittleren Teil der C-Klammern verbunden, sondern mit dem einen Schenkel der C-Klammern. Daher ist diese Art der Verbindung nicht zur Aufnahme von Kippmomenten wie bei dem Traggestell nach vorliegender Erfindung geeignet.
Die vorgespannte Verbindung wird vorzugsweise dadurch realisiert, daß jeder Flansch eine obere Schrauböffnung und eine untere Schrauböffnung hat, deren Abstand voneinander dem Abstand entsprechender Gewindeöffnungen an der Säule entspricht. Dank der jeweils zwei Schraubverbindungen bzw. dank des veitikalen Abstandes zwischen den Schraubverbindungen vermindern sich die von den jeweiligen Schrauben aufzunehmenden Kräfte bei der Übertragung der Drehmomente aufgrund außermittiger Belastung des Fachbodens. Vorteilhaft ist dabei die untere Schrauböffnung zum unteren Rand des Flansches hin offen, vorzugsweise konisch geöffnet. Bei der Montage kann somit der Flansch mit seiner unten konisch offenen Schrauböffnung von oben auf eine nur halb eingedrehte Schraube eingefahren und aufgesetzt werden; dies erfolgt vorzugsweise im wesentlichen gleichzeitig an beiden Säulen; jetzt ruht der Fachboden bereits stabil auf den beiden unteren Schrauben. Nun kann jeweils die obere Schraube in aller Ruhe eingeschraubt und schließlich können alle Schrauben fest angezogen werden.From US Pat. No. 3,096,107 a connection system for building a supporting frame for a scaffolding is also known. However, as is usual with scaffolding, four vertical support columns are provided. Two horizontal beams extend between the supporting columns, on which the actual work platforms can be placed. At the two ends of each horizontal beam, C-shaped clamping members are attached, which are each clamped or screwed to the opposite column. The horizontal beams are not connected to the back or the middle part of the C-clips, but to one leg of the C-clips. Therefore, this type of connection is not suitable for absorbing tilting moments as in the support frame according to the present invention.
The prestressed connection is preferably realized in that each flange has an upper screw opening and a lower screw opening, the distance from which corresponds to the distance between corresponding threaded openings on the column. Thanks to the two screw connections or the veitical distance between the screw connections, the forces to be absorbed by the respective screws are reduced during the transmission of the torques due to eccentric loading of the shelf. The lower screw opening is advantageously open towards the lower edge of the flange, preferably opened conically. During assembly, the flange with its screw opening, which is conically open at the bottom, can thus be inserted from above onto a screw that is only half screwed in; this is preferably done essentially simultaneously on both columns; now the shelf is already stable on the two lower screws. Now the upper screw can be screwed in at leisure and finally all screws can be tightened.

Das erfindungsgemäße Traggestell für Geräte eines PC-Arbeitsplatzes weist nur zwei tragende Säulen 1 auf, die mittig auf je einem horizontalen, sich in Sichtrichtung erstreckenden Basisrohr 2 ruhen, welches an seinen beiden Enden von je einer Laufrolle 3 getragen ist. Zwischen den beiden Säulen sind drei Fachböden 4,5,6 in unterschiedlichen Höhen montiert: der untere Fachboden 4 vor allem für den Rechner, der mittlere Fachboden 5 für den Bildschirm, nebst einem Auszug für die Tastatur, und der obere Fachboden 6 für einen Drucker.The support frame according to the invention for devices of a PC workstation has only two supporting columns 1, the middle of each a horizontal, extending in the viewing direction Rest base tube 2, which at both ends of one Roller 3 is worn. There are three between the two columns Shelves 4,5,6 mounted at different heights: the lower one Shelf 4, especially for the computer, the middle shelf 5 for the screen, along with an extract for the keyboard, and the upper shelf 6 for a printer.

Die Befestigungsstellen sind etwa auf der Längsmittellinie der Fachböden vorgesehen. In dem Maße, wie die Fachböden außermittig belastet werden, wenn etwa die Tastaturaufnahme nach vorne ausgezogen wird oder wenn der Bildschirm vor- oder zurückgeschoben wird, müssen die Befestigungen auch die dabei auftretenden Kippmomente oder Drehmomente aufnehmen; trotzdem sollen die Bauteile, insbesondere die Säulen, leicht sein und die Fachböden schnell und einfach an den Säulen montierbar sein. Zu diesem Zweck sind die Fachböden erfindungsgemäß wie folgt an den Säulen befestigt:
Die - von Rohren gebildeten - Säulen 1 sind mit einer Reihe von Gewindeöffnungen 7 versehen. Die Fachböden 4,5,6 sind an der Mitte ihrer Schmalseiten mit dem Rücken 8a je eines vertikalen Flansches 8 verbunden, dessen Querschnitt demjenigen der Säulen 1 im Bereich der Gewindeöffnungen entspricht, aber etwas enger bzw. stärker gekrümmt ist als das Profil der Säulen in diesem Querschnittsbereich. Die Seitenränder oder Flügel 9 der konkaven Flansche 8 haben also einen etwas kleineren Abstand a voneinander als die Weite oder Breite b zwischen den entsprechenden Anlageflächen 10 an der jeweiligen Säule 1. The attachment points are provided approximately on the longitudinal center line of the shelves. To the extent that the shelves are eccentrically loaded when, for example, the keyboard holder is pulled forward or when the screen is pushed forward or backward, the fastenings must also absorb the tilting moments or torques that occur; nevertheless, the components, especially the columns, should be light and the shelves should be quick and easy to install on the columns. For this purpose, the shelves are attached to the columns according to the invention as follows:
The - formed by tubes - columns 1 are provided with a series of threaded openings 7. The shelves 4, 5, 6 are connected at the middle of their narrow sides to the back 8a of a vertical flange 8, the cross section of which corresponds to that of the columns 1 in the area of the threaded openings, but is somewhat narrower or more curved than the profile of the columns in FIG this cross-sectional area. The side edges or wings 9 of the concave flanges 8 therefore have a somewhat smaller distance a from one another than the width or width b between the corresponding contact surfaces 10 on the respective column 1.

Der Rücken 8a jedes Flansches 8 hat ein Durchsteckloch 11 für einen Schraubbolzen 12 oberhalb des jeweiligen Fachbodens und eine Schrauböffnung 13 unterhalb des Fachbodens, der Abstand zwischen den beiden Schrauböffnungen ist - bei den Fachböden und 6 - gleich dem Abstand der Muttergewinde 7 an der Säule 1. Bei dem stärker belasteten mittleren Fachboden 5 ist dieser Abstand gleich dem doppelten Lochabstand an der Säule.The back 8a of each flange 8 has a through hole 11 for a bolt 12 above the respective shelf and a screw opening 13 below the shelf, the distance is between the two screw openings - for the shelves and 6 - equal to the distance between the nut thread 7 on the column 1. At the more heavily loaded middle shelf 5 is this distance equal to twice the hole spacing on the column.

Die untere Schrauböffnung 13 ist zum unteren Rand des Flansches 8 hin offen, wobei zwei sich nach unten/außen konisch erweiternde Anlaufschrägen 13a vorgesehen sind.The lower screw opening 13 is towards the lower edge of the flange 8 open towards the back, with two flaring downwards / outwards Starting bevels 13a are provided.

Zur Montage wird.jeweils eine untere Schraube 12 zur Hälfte in das Gewindeloch 7 der gewünschtern Höhe eingeschraubt. Sodann wird der Fachboden beidseits von oben abgesenkt, wobei die Flansche 8 von oben auf die beiden Schraubbolzen 12 abgesenkt werden. Jetzt ruhen die Fachböden - oder andere Komponenten - stabil an ihrem Platz; nunmehr kann die jeweils obere Schraube 12 in aller Ruhe eingeschraubt werden, zuletzt werden alle Schrauben fest angezogen. Damit ist an allen Befestigungsstellen eine sichere, formschlüssige Verbindung erreicht, die auch Kippkräfte oder Kippmomente übertragen kann.For assembly, a lower screw 12 is half in each screwed the threaded hole 7 of the desired height. thereupon the shelf is lowered on both sides from above, with the Flanges 8 lowered from above onto the two bolts 12 become. Now the shelves - or other components - are resting stable in place; now the respective upper screw 12 screwed in calmly, at last all screws tightened. So there is one at all attachment points secure, form-fitting connection that also tilts or can transfer tilting moments.

Es können auch einseitige Komponenten an der einen oder der anderen Säule auf die gleiche Weise, also mit einem erfindungsgemäßen konkaven Flansch angebracht werden.One-sided components can also be attached to one or the other another pillar in the same way, i.e. with one Concave flange according to the invention are attached.

Die Säulen sind vcrzugsweise beidseits, also symmetrisch zu ihrer Längsmittellinie mit Muttergewinden für die Schraubbolzen versehen. Wie Figur 5 im einzelnen zeigt, sind entsprechende Gewindenippel 7a an den Innenseiten befestigt.
Zur Aufnahme der auftretenden Kippmomente ist der Querschnitt der Säulen längsgestreckt, vgl. Fig. 2 und 3 bzw. Fig. 7.The columns are preferably provided on both sides, that is to say symmetrically to their longitudinal center line, with nut threads for the screw bolts. As FIG. 5 shows in detail, corresponding threaded nipples 7a are attached to the inside.
The cross-section of the columns is elongated to accommodate the occurring tilting moments, cf. 2 and 3 and Fig. 7th
