Zunächst sei auf Fig. 1 bis 4 Bezug genommen, aus denen der grundsätzliche Aufbau der erfindungsgemäßen drehbaren Steckdosenleiste hervorgeht. Ein Gehäuse 1, in dem eine Reihe von Netzsteckdosen 20 sowie eine Datensteckdose 4 angeordnet sind, ist in einer im wesentlichen rechteckigen Ausnehmung 2 einer Tischplatte 3 aufgenommen und um eine horizontale bzw. zur Tischplatte 3 parallele Drehachse 16 drehbar gelagert. Das Gehäuse 1 ist vorzugsweise aus einem stranggepreßten Material hergestellt, insbesondere Leichtmetall, und weist eine kreisrunde, mit drei Abflachungen 14, 15 versehene Querschnittsform auf, wie aus Fig. 3 und 4 hervorgeht. Der umlaufende Spaltbereich zwischen der rechteckförmigen Ausnehmung 2 der Tischplatte und dem Gehäuse 1 ist mit einem Rahmenelement 7 abgedeckt, das einen Auflageflansch 7a zur Auflage auf der Tischplatte 3 aufweist und an seinem inneren, dem Gehäuse 1 benachbarten Rand 7b abgerundet ist, damit der verbleibende Spalt zwischen Rahmenelement 7 und Gehäuse 1 möglichst klein ist. An den stirnseitigen Schmalseiten schließt das Rahmenelement 7 bündig mit den normal zur Drehachse 16 angeordneten Stirnseiten des Gehäuses 1 ab (Fig. 1, 2).1 to 4, from which the basic structure of the rotatable according to the invention Socket strip emerges. A housing 1 in which a number of Mains outlets 20 and a data socket 4 are arranged in a substantially rectangular recess 2 one Table top 3 added and around a horizontal or Table top 3 parallel axis of rotation 16 rotatably mounted. The Housing 1 is preferably made of an extruded material manufactured, especially light metal, and has a circular, provided with three flats 14, 15 cross-sectional shape, such as 3 and 4 emerges. The circumferential gap area between the rectangular recess 2 of the table top and the housing 1 is covered with a frame element 7, the one Has support flange 7a for resting on the table top 3 and rounded on its inner edge 7b adjacent to the housing 1 is so that the remaining gap between frame member 7 and Housing 1 is as small as possible. On the short sides closes the frame element 7 flush with the normal to the axis of rotation 16 arranged end faces of the housing 1 (Fig. 1, 2).

Wie in Fig. 2 angedeutet ist, weist das Gehäuse 1 an seinen stirnseitigen Endabschnitten jeweils einen zylindrischen Achsabschnitt 5 auf, mit dem das Gehäuse drehbar in Lagern 6 aufgenommen ist. Zum besseren Verständnis sei auf Fig. 6 verwiesen, die in einer perspektivischen Darstellung einen stirnseitigen Endabschnitt der Steckdosenleiste zeigt. Die Achsabschnitte 5 des Gehäuses 1 sind jeweils in einem Lager 6 aufgenommen, das bei dieser Ausführungsform aus einer halbzylindrischen, einteilig mit dem Rahmenelement 7 verbundenen Lagerschale 6a und einer zweiten, halbzylindrischen, mit der ersten Lagerschale durch Schrauben, Nieten o.ä. verbundenen Lagerschale 6b gebildet ist. Das Gehäuse 1 ist somit über die zweite Lagerschale 6b drehbar am Rahmenelement 7 aufgehängt, das seinerseits über den umlaufenden Auflageflansch 7b auf der Tischplatte 3 aufliegt.As indicated in Fig. 2, the housing 1 has its front end sections each have a cylindrical Axis section 5 with which the housing rotates in bearings 6 is included. For a better understanding, see FIG. 6 referenced in a perspective view shows the front end portion of the power strip. The Axle sections 5 of the housing 1 are each in a bearing 6 added that in this embodiment from a semi-cylindrical, connected in one piece to the frame element 7 Bearing shell 6a and a second, semi-cylindrical, with the first bearing shell by screws, rivets or similar related Bearing shell 6b is formed. The housing 1 is thus over the second bearing shell 6b rotatably suspended on the frame member 7, the in turn on the circumferential support flange 7b on the Table top 3 rests.

Wie Fig. 3 und 4 zeigen, kann aufgrund der Drehbarkeit des Gehäuses 1 um die Drehachse 16 jede der drei Abflachungen 14 oder 15 im wesentlichen in eine Ebene mit dem Rahmenelement 7 und damit im wesentlichen in einen bündigen Abschluß mit der Oberfläche der Tischplatte 3 gebracht werden. Die beiden Abflachungen 15 sind durch glatte, ebene Außenflächen des Gehäuses 1 gebildet, während die unterschiedlichen Steckdosen bündig mit der Abflachung 14 abschließen (Fig. 1). Durch entsprechendes Verdrehen kann die Abflachung 14 mit den darin liegenden Steckdosen in eine mit der Ebene der Tischplatte 3 übereinstimmende Ausrichtung gebracht werden, wie in Fig. 1 und mit ausgezogenen Linien in Fig. 3 dargestellt ist, so daß die Steckdosen von oberhalb der Tischplatte her zugänglich sind. Durch Verdrehen (in Fig. 3 strichpunktiert angedeutet) kann eine der Abflachungen 15 in bündige Ausrichtung mit der Oberfläche der Tischplatte 3 gebracht werden (Fig. 4), so daß die Ausnehmung der Tischplatte mechanisch und optisch verschlossen ist und die Steckdosen von unterhalb der Tischplatte 3 aus zugänglich sind. Die Richtung der Zugänglichkeit der Steckdosen ist jeweils durch einen Pfeil 22 verdeutlicht.3 and 4 show, due to the rotatability of the Housing 1 about the axis of rotation 16 each of the three flats 14 or 15 essentially in one plane with the frame element 7 and thus essentially in a flush with the surface of the Table top 3 are brought. The two flats 15 are formed by smooth, flat outer surfaces of the housing 1, while the different sockets are flush with the flat 14 complete (Fig. 1). By turning it accordingly, the Flattening 14 with the sockets therein in one with the Placed level of table top 3 matching alignment as in FIG. 1 and with solid lines in FIG. 3 is shown, so that the sockets from above the Table top are accessible here. By twisting (in Fig. 3 indicated by dash-dotted lines) one of the flats 15 in brought flush alignment with the surface of the table top 3 are (Fig. 4), so that the recess of the table top mechanically and is optically closed and the sockets from below the Table top 3 are accessible. The direction of accessibility the sockets are each indicated by an arrow 22.

Die drei Abflachungen 14, 15 sind in dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel um einen Umfangswinkel von etwa 30° bis etwa 80° gegeneinander versetzt. Ein günstigerweise zu wählender Winkelabstand der Abflachungen hängt vom Abstand der Abflachungen von der Drehachse 16 und davon ab, ob jede einzelne Abflachung in ihrer in den Bereich des Rahmenelements 7 gedrehten Stellung (Fig. 4) bündig mit der Ebene der Tischplatte liegen und die Breite des Rahmenelements 7 im wesentlichen ausfüllen bzw. abdecken soll. Beispielsweise können die Abflachungen gleichen Abstand von der Drehachse 16 aufweisen und um etwa 60° gegeneinander versetzt sein, wobei dann stets eine mit der Tischplatte bündig abschließende Höhenlage einer jeden Abflachung und ein günstiger Abschluß mit dem inneren Rand 7b des Rahmenelements gegeben ist. The three flats 14, 15 are shown in the Embodiment by a circumferential angle of about 30 ° to about Offset by 80 °. A favorably to choose The angular distance between the flats depends on the distance between the flats from the axis of rotation 16 and from whether each individual flattening in their turned position in the area of the frame element 7 (Fig. 4) lie flush with the level of the table top and the width of the Frame element 7 should essentially fill or cover. For example, the flats can be the same distance from the Have axis of rotation 16 and offset from each other by about 60 ° be, then always one flush with the table top final altitude of each flattening and a favorable one Completion with the inner edge 7b of the frame element is given.

Fig. 5 und 6 zeigen zwei unterschiedliche Ausgestaltungen der Lager 6. Wie bereits vorstehend ausgeführt, zeigt Fig. 6 eine Ausführungsform, bei der das Lager durch zwei Lagerschalen 6a, 6b gebildet ist, wobei die erste Lagerschale 6a fest mit dem Rahmenelement 7 verbunden ist. Fig.5 zeigt demgegenüber eine Ausführung, bei der das Lager 6 einteilig ausgebildet und separat an der Tischplatte 3 befestigt ist (nicht dargestellt). In diesem Fall ist somit die drehbare Lagerung mit den Lagern 6 konstruktiv von dem Rahmenelement 7 getrennt.5 and 6 show two different configurations of the Bearing 6. As already stated above, Fig. 6 shows one Embodiment in which the bearing by two bearing shells 6a, 6b is formed, the first bearing shell 6a firmly with the Frame element 7 is connected. 5 shows a contrast Version in which the bearing 6 is formed in one piece and separately is attached to the table top 3 (not shown). In this In this case, the rotatable mounting with the bearings 6 is constructive separated from the frame element 7.

Fig. 7 zeigt einen stirnseitigen Endabschnitt der Steckdosenleiste aus einer zu Fig. 5 und 6 entgegengesetzten Blickrichtung, wobei deutlich sichtbar ist, daß sowohl das Rahmenelement 7 als auch das Gehäuse 1 aus mittleren, aus einem stranggepreßten Material wie Kunststoff hergestellten Abschnitten 7.1 bzw. 1.1 bestehen, an die stirnseitige Endabschnitte bzw. Endkappen 7.2 und 1.2 angesetzt sind. Dies erleichtert Herstellung und Zusammenbau erheblich, da die mittleren Abschnitte 1.1 bzw. 7.1 fortlaufenden, unveränderlichen Querschnitt aufweisen und leicht in unterschiedlichen Längen hergestellt werden können. Die stirnseitigen Endkappen 1.2 des Gehäuses 1 tragen in einteiliger, daran angeformter Weise die Achsabschnitte 5.Fig. 7 shows an end portion of the power strip from a direction opposite to FIGS. 5 and 6, it is clearly visible that both the frame element 7 and that Housing 1 made of medium, made of an extruded material such as Plastic sections 7.1 and 1.1 exist to which end sections or end caps 7.2 and 1.2 attached are. This greatly facilitates manufacture and assembly since the middle sections 1.1 and 7.1 continuous, unchangeable cross section and slightly in different lengths can be produced. The end caps 1.2 of the housing 1 carry in one piece, the axle sections 5 formed thereon.

Wie Fig. 5 bis 7 weiter zeigen, weist wenigstens ein Achsabschnitt 5 zwei Durchgangsöffnungen 8 und einen mit 13 angedeuteten Steckverbinder zur Durchführung bzw. zum Anschluß von Netzkabeln und/oder Datenleitungen auf. Die Öffnungen 8 können mit einer Zugentlastung für durchgeführte Kabel versehen sein. 5 to 7 further show, has at least one axle section 5 two through openings 8 and one indicated by 13 Connectors for the implementation or connection of power cables and / or data lines. The openings 8 can with a Strain relief for cables passed through.
