Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen höheneinstellbaren Arbeitstisch mit zwei Führungsschienen zur Aufnahme einer Arbeitsplatte, die durch einen Antriebsmotor mit Seiltrommeln und Zugseilen in ihrer Arbeitshöhe einstellbar ist. Ein solcher Arbeitstisch ist z.B. aus Dokument US 5 715 759 A bekannt.The invention relates to a height-adjustable work table with two guide rails for receiving a countertop by a drive motor adjustable with rope drums and pull ropes in their working height. Such a Worktable is e.g. from document US Pat. No. 5,715,759 A.

Weiternin sind Arbeitstische bekannt, zu denen auch Schreibtische oder Werkbänke gehören, die aus einem metallischen Gestell bestehen, welches die sogenannte Arbeitsplatte trägt. Dabei besteht das Gestell zunächst aus einem Untergestell, welches aus mindestens zwei über eine Strebe mit Abstand verbundenen Außenrohren besteht, die eine unterschiedliche Querschnittsform und Querschnittsgröße aufweisen können. In den Außenrohren sind dabei Innenrohre verschiebbar geführt, die entweder ausschließlich über die Arbeitsplatte, bedarfsweise aber auch noch zusätzlich über eine Strebe, miteinander verbunden sind. Jeweils ein Außenrohr und ein Innenrohr bilden dabei ein Stützbein des Arbeitstisches. Um nun die Höhenlage der Arbeitsplatte verändern bzw. vergrößern zu können, ist jeweils im oberen Bereich des Untergestells, vorzugsweise im oberen Bereich des Außenrohres, ein Seil angeschlossen, welches zum unteren Ende des Innenrohres geführt, dort umgelenkt, wieder nach oben geführt und danach im oberen Bereich des Außenrohres in das Untergestell ragt und dort von einer Zugeinheit, die beispielsweise als Seiltrommel ausgebildet sein kann, aufgenommen wird. Dabei sind an die Zugeinheit alle Seile der Stützbeine angeschlossen. Durch entsprechendes Bewegen der Zugeinheit werden nun die Innenrohre aus den Außenrohren allmählich, jedoch in vorgegebenen Grenzen, herausgeschoben, so dass die Arbeitsplatte angehoben wird. Bei einer entgegengesetzten Bewegung der Zugeinheit werden die Zugseile wieder nachgelassen und die Innenrohre bewegen sich aufgrund des Gewichtes, insbesondere der Arbeitsplatte, wieder in die Außenrohre zurück. Die Zugeinheit kann dabei entweder von Hand oder über einen besonderen Antrieb bewegt werden.Also known as work desks, which include desks or workbenches, which consist of a metallic frame, which is the so-called worktop wearing. The frame initially consists of a base, which from at least two outer tubes connected by a strut at a distance which has a different cross-sectional shape and cross-sectional size can have. Inner tubes are displaceably guided in the outer tubes, either exclusively on the worktop, if necessary, but also additionally via a strut, are connected. In each case an outer tube and an inner tube thereby form a support leg of the work table. Order now the To be able to change or enlarge the height of the worktop is in each case upper region of the underframe, preferably in the upper region of the outer tube, a rope connected, which led to the lower end of the inner tube, there deflected, led back up and then in the upper part of the outer tube protrudes into the base and there by a train unit, for example can be designed as a cable drum is recorded. Here are the train unit all ropes of the support legs connected. By appropriate movement The train unit will now the inner tubes from the outer tubes gradually, however within predetermined limits, pushed out, so that the worktop raised becomes. In an opposite movement of the tractor unit are the traction cables slackened again and the inner tubes move due to the weight, especially the worktop, back into the outer tubes. The train unit can be moved either by hand or by a special drive.

Derartige Arbeitstische sind in ihrer Herstellung verhältnismäßig aufwendig und teuer. Dies hängt insbesondere damit zusammen, dass die die Stützbeine bildenden Außen- und Innenrohre Sonderprofile sind und über besondere Gleitstücke sehr genau ineinander geführt werden müssen. Aufgrund der Ausgestaltung des Ober- und Untergestells ist der Arbeitstisch vor seiner Auslieferung immer fertig montiert, was hohe Transportkosten mit sich bringt. Ein solcher Arbeitstisch ist darüber hinaus verhältnismäßig schwer, was sich bei dessen Aufstellung nachteilig auswirkt.Such work tables are relatively expensive to manufacture and expensive. This is particularly related to the fact that the support legs forming Outer and inner tubes are special profiles and about special sliders must be very closely intertwined. Due to the design of the Upper and lower frame, the work table is always ready before its delivery mounted, which brings high transport costs. Such a work table is about it In addition, relatively difficult, which is disadvantageous in its formation effect.

Der Erfindung liegt nun die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Arbeitstisch mit höheneinstellbarer Arbeitsplatte zu schaffen, der ein verhältnismäßig geringes Gewicht besitzt und äußerst preiswert ist. Darüber hinaus soll der Arbeitstisch so gestaltet sein, dass er leicht in seine Einzelteile zerlegt werden kann, auf kleinem Raum verpackbar ist und von einem Laien problemlos zusammengebaut werden kann.The invention is based on the object, a work table with height adjustable To create a worktop, which has a relatively low weight and is extremely cheap.

In Figur 1 ist ein Arbeitstisch 1 gemäß der Erfindung in seitlicher Aufrissdarstellung im Schnitt gezeigt, wobei der Schnitt parallel zur Schmalseite einer Arbeitsplatte 2 verläuft. Der Arbeitstisch 1 besteht aus zwei senkrecht verlaufenden Führungsschienen 3, die im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel als Stützbeinen ausgeführt, an der Rückseite der Arbeitsplatte 2 angeordnet und jeweils aus einem Vierkantrohr gefertigt sind und vorteilhaft quadratischen Querschnitt besitzen. Selbstverständlich können auch andere Querschnittsformen gewählt werden. Dabei ist es zweckmäßig, möglichst solche Querschnittsformen zu verwenden, die als Standardrohre auf dem Markt zu erhalten sind und keine Sonderanfertigung erforderlich machen. Das äußere Querschnittsmaß der Stützbeine 3 beträgt etwa 40 bis 50 mm. Im unteren Bereich jedes Stützbeines sind zwei schräg zum Stützbein 3 verlaufende Streben 4,5, beispielsweise durch Schweißung, angeschlossen, die ebenfalls aus einem handelsüblichen Rohr bestehen, die zueinander unter einem Winkel von etwa 90° verlaufen und über die sich das Stützbein 3 auf dem Boden abstützt. Das Stützbein 3 ist somit mit den beiden Streben 4,5 einstückig ausgebildet.In Figure 1 , a work table 1 according to the invention in a side elevational view in section, wherein the section is parallel to the narrow side of a countertop 2. The work table 1 consists of two vertically extending guide rails 3, which are executed in the illustrated embodiment as a support legs, arranged on the back of the worktop 2 and each made of a square tube and advantageously have square cross-section. Of course, other cross-sectional shapes can be chosen. It is expedient to use as possible cross-sectional shapes that are available as standard tubes on the market and do not require custom-made. The outer cross-sectional dimension of the support legs 3 is about 40 to 50 mm. In the lower region of each support leg two obliquely to the support leg 3 extending struts 4,5, for example, by welding, connected, which also consist of a commercial tube, which extend at an angle of about 90 ° to each other and on which the support leg 3 on the Ground supports. The support leg 3 is thus formed integrally with the two struts 4,5.

Beide derartig mit den Streben 4,5 einstückig ausgebildeten Stützbeine 3 sind durch ein L-förmigen Querschnitt aufweisendes Blech 6 fest, jedoch lösbar miteinander verbunden. Diese Verbindung erfolgt, wie in der Zeichnung angedeutet, durch Schrauben 7. Diese Schrauben 7 werden in sogenannte Knotenbleche 8 eingesteckt, die im Blech 6 eingesetzt sind. Es ist jedoch auch möglich, diese Teile formschlüssig, beispielsweise durch "Einhaken" miteinander zu verbinden. Diese lösbare Verbindung gibt die Möglichkeit, den Arbeitstisch 1 zu zerlegen und dann die Stützbeine 3 mit den Streben 4,5 auf kleinstem Raum zu verpacken. Bei der eigentlichen Montage werden also zunächst die beiden Stützbeine 3 aufgestellt und über das Blech 6 miteinander verbunden. Dadurch entsteht eine stabile, tragende Einheit. Das einen L-förmigen Querschnitt aufweisende Blech 6 kann als sogenannter Kabelkanal genutzt werden.Both thus integrally formed with the struts 4,5 support legs 3 are by a L-shaped cross-section having plate 6 fixed, but detachable with each other connected. This connection takes place, as indicated in the drawing, by screws 7. These screws 7 are inserted into so-called gusset plates 8, which are used in the sheet 6. However, it is also possible to use these parts positively, for example, by "hooking" to each other to connect. These releasable connection gives the opportunity to disassemble the worktable 1 and then to pack the support legs 3 with the struts 4.5 in the smallest space. In the actual assembly so the two support legs 3 are initially set up and connected to each other via the sheet 6. This creates a stable, load-bearing Unit. The L-shaped cross-section having sheet 6 can be used as so-called Cable channel can be used.

Der Arbeitstisch 1 weist ferner zwei Traversen 9 auf, die U-förmig aus Blech mit einer Wandstärke von 2,00 bis 4,00 mm gekantet und nach unten offen sind. An ihren rückwärtigen Enden ist der Steg dieser Traversen 9 ausgeklinkt, so dass jeweils eine Traverse 9 von oben über ein Stützbein 3 aufgeschoben werden kann. Beide Traversen 9 sind durch ein U-Profilblech 10 mit einer Wandstärke von 1,50 bis 3,00 fest miteinander verbunden. Diese Verbindung kann dabei bereits werksseitig hergestellt werden und lösbar oder unlösbar ausgelegt sein. Für das Verpakken des Arbeitstisches 1 muss diese Verbindung jedoch nicht getrennt werden, da diese Einheit in ihrer Grundfläche nicht größer ist als die Gesamtfläche der Arbeitsplatte. Um nun die beiden Traversen 9 an den Stützbeinen 3 bewegen und damit heben und senken zu können, besitzt jede Traverse 9 eine obere, hintere und eine untere, vordere Laufrolle 11,12, die beispielsweise durch ein Kugellager gebildet und drehbar zwischen den Schenkeln einer Traverse 9 gehalten sind und an einem Stützbein 3 anliegen. Zusätzlich ist an jedem seitlichen Schenkel der Traversen 9 ein ebenfalls am senkrechten Stützbein 3 anliegendes Gleitstück vorgesehen, so dass eine gute und sichere Führung der Traversen 9 an den Stützbeinen 3 sichergestellt ist.The work table 1 also has two trusses 9, the U-shaped sheet metal with a wall thickness of 2.00 to 4.00 mm folded and open at the bottom. At their rear ends, the bridge of these trusses 9 is notched, so that each a cross member 9 can be pushed from above over a support leg 3. Both trusses 9 are through a U-profile sheet 10 with a wall thickness of 1.50 to 3.00 firmly connected. This connection can already factory be prepared and designed to be detachable or insoluble. For packaging of the work table 1, however, this connection does not have to be separated because this unit in its base area is not larger than the total area of the worktop. To move now the two trusses 9 on the support legs 3 and thus each Traverse 9 has an upper, rear and one lower, front roller 11,12, for example, formed by a ball bearing and rotatably held between the legs of a cross member 9 and at a Support leg 3 rest. In addition, on each lateral leg of the trusses 9 a likewise fitting to the vertical support leg 3 slider provided so that ensures a good and safe guidance of the trusses 9 on the support legs 3 is.

Das U-Profilblech 10 ist nach oben offen zwischen die beiden Traversen 9 eingesetzt und nimmt einen an sich bekannten Antriebsmotor mit einer Welle und mindestens einer Seiltrommel mit zwei über Umlenkrollen geführten Zugseilen 13 auf. Auch die Anordnung von zwei Seiltrommeln ist möglich. Diese Teile sind an sich bekannt und wurden deshalb nicht in der Zeichnung eingezeichnet.The U-profile sheet 10 is inserted open at the top between the two trusses 9 and takes a known drive motor with a shaft and at least a cable drum with two guided over pulleys tension cables 13. The arrangement of two cable drums is possible. These parts are in themselves known and were therefore not drawn in the drawing.

Sobald die vorbeschriebene Montage durchgeführt ist, werden die freien Enden der Zugseile jeweils an einem oberen Ende der Stützbeine 3, welche dazu besonders ausgebildet sind, eingehängt. Die Zugseile 13 sind in Umlenkrollen so geführt, dass diese die Laufnut der Umlenkrollen, auch bei nachlassender Seilspannung, niemals verlassen können. Dies gilt auch dann, wenn der Arbeitstisch 1 für einen Transport zerlegt und dazu die Zugseile 13 ausgehängt werden. Nach dem Anschalten des Antriebsmotors werden nun beide Traversen 9 gleichzeitig und gleichmäßig stufenlos durch den Motor nach oben gezogen oder nach unten durch ihr Eigengewicht und das Gewicht der Arbeitsplatte 2 abgelassen. Damit kann die Arbeitsplatte 2, die auf den beiden Traversen 9 beispielsweise mittels Schrauben befestigt ist, angehoben oder abgesenkt werden. Die Abwärtsbewegung der Traversen 9 und damit das Absenken der Arbeitsplatte 2 erfolgt ausschließlich durch das Eigengewicht von Arbeitsplatte 2, Traversen 9 und U-Profilblech 10 mit den darin befindlichen Antriebsteilen. Der Antrieb übt dazu keinerlei Kräfte auf die Traversen 9 aus. Bei nachlassender Spannung der Zugseile wird der Antriebsmotor sofort über einen besonderen Schalter abgeschaltet. Der Verstellhub der Arbeitsplatte 2 beträgt etwa 600 mm und ermöglicht eine Arbeitshöhe der Arbeitsplatte 2 zwischen 650 und 1250 mm.Once the above assembly is performed, the free ends of the Pull ropes each at an upper end of the support legs 3, which in particular are trained, hung. The traction cables 13 are guided in deflection rollers so that this the running groove of the pulleys, even with decreasing rope tension, never being able to leave. This is true even if the work table 1 for a transport disassembled and to the pull ropes 13 are posted. After turning on the Drive motor are now both trusses 9 simultaneously and evenly stepless pulled up by the engine or down by its own weight and the weight of the worktop 2 is drained. This can be the worktop 2, which is fastened on the two trusses 9, for example by means of screws, be raised or lowered. The downward movement of the trusses 9 and thus lowering the worktop 2 is done exclusively by its own weight from worktop 2, trusses 9 and U-profile sheet 10 with the therein Drive parts. The drive exerts no forces on the trusses 9 from. With decreasing tension of the traction cables, the drive motor is immediately on a switched off special switch. The Verstellhub the worktop 2 is about 600 mm and allows a working height of the worktop 2 between 650 and 1250 mm.

In Abänderung des erläuterten Ausführungsbeispieles ist es möglich, die senkrechten Rohre der Stützbeine 3 nicht rückseitig, sondern seitlich an der Arbeitsplatte 2 anzuordnen. Die Traversen 9 sollten dann jedoch möglichst quer vor den Stützbeinen 3 verlaufen, damit eine ausreichende Standsicherheit des Arbeitstisches 1 gewährleistet ist. Gegebenenfalls sind dann auch die Stützbeine 9 mit den Streben 4,5 anders auszubilden.In a modification of the illustrated embodiment, it is possible to use the vertical Tubes of the support legs 3 not back, but on the side of the worktop 2 to arrange. The trusses 9 should then, if possible, transversely in front of the Support legs 3 run, so that a sufficient stability of the work table 1 is guaranteed. If necessary, then the support legs 9 with the Strive to form 4,5 differently.

Figur 2 zeigt eine mögliche Ausgestaltungsform des Antriebes der Arbeitsplatte 2, die wie oben beschrieben an den Führungsschienen 3 gelagert ist. Das Zugseil 13 ist mit seinem einen Ende am oberen Ende der Führungsschiene 3 gelagert. Das Zugseil wird auf der Seiltrommel 14 mittels des Motors 15 auf und abgerollt. Figure 2 shows a possible embodiment of the drive of the worktop 2, which is mounted on the guide rails 3 as described above. The traction cable 13 is mounted with its one end at the upper end of the guide rail 3. The pull rope is on the cable drum 14 by means of the motor 15 and unrolled.

Figur 3a zeigt eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform der Aufhängung 16 des Seiles 13 an dem oberen Ende der Führungsschiene. Die Aufhängung 16 besteht im wesentlichen aus einem Stopfen 17, der vorzugsweise zumindest teilweise formschlüssig von der Führungsschiene 3 aufgenommen wird und sich auf deren Wandung abstützt. In dem Stopfen 17 ist das Seil so angeordnet, dass es auf Zug (durch den Pfeil dargestellt) belastbar ist. Zur Montage des erfindungsgemäßen Arbeitstisches wird der Stopfen 17 auf die Führungsschiene 3 aufgesteckt und kann bei der Demontage wieder abgenommen werden. Figure 3a shows a preferred embodiment of the suspension 16 of the cable 13 at the upper end of the guide rail. The suspension 16 consists essentially of a plug 17, which is preferably at least partially positively received by the guide rail 3 and is supported on the wall thereof. In the plug 17, the rope is arranged so that it can be loaded in tension (represented by the arrow). For mounting the work table according to the invention, the plug 17 is attached to the guide rail 3 and can be removed again during disassembly.

Figur 3b zeigt eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform der Lagerung der Traverse 9 an der Führungsschiene 3 in zwei Ansichten. In dem vorliegenden Fall greifen die Rollen 11, 12 an dem inneren Querschnitt des Profils 3 an, wobei die Rollen 12 vorne und die Rollen 11 hinten angeordnet sind. Der Fachmann erkennt, dass das Profil in diesem Fall einen Schlitz 20 aufweisen muss, in dem sich die Traverse auf- und ab bewegt. In der Traverse ist zusätzlich eine Rolle 18 angebracht, um die das Seil 13 von der Seiltrommel (nicht dargestellt) zu der Halterung 16 (nicht dargestellt) umgelenkt wird. FIG. 3b shows a preferred embodiment of the mounting of the traverse 9 on the guide rail 3 in two views. In the present case, the rollers 11, 12 engage the inner cross-section of the profile 3, with the rollers 12 at the front and the rollers 11 at the rear. The person skilled in the art recognizes that in this case the profile must have a slot 20 in which the traverse moves up and down. In addition, a roller 18 is mounted in the traverse around which the cable 13 (not shown) from the cable drum to the holder 16 (not shown) is deflected.

Figur 4 zeigt die Lagerung des Motors 15 und der Seiltrommel 14 an der Arbeitsplatte 2 dargestellt, wobei die Arbeitsplatte 2 nicht dargestellt ist. Das Zugseil 13 wird von der Seiltrommel 14 über eine Rolle 19 zu der Rolle 18 geleitet. Es ist zu erkennen, dass zwei Zugseile 13 auf einer Rolle 14 laufen, so dass die Auf- und Abwärtsbewegung an den beiden Führungsschienen 3 (nur eine dargestellt) nicht synchronisiert werden muss. Der Fachmann erkennt, dass auch drei oder mehr Zugseile auf einer Seiltrommel geführt werden können. Figure 4 shows the mounting of the motor 15 and the cable drum 14 shown on the worktop 2, wherein the worktop 2 is not shown. The traction cable 13 is guided by the cable drum 14 via a roller 19 to the roller 18. It can be seen that two traction cables 13 run on a roller 14, so that the up and down movement on the two guide rails 3 (only one shown) does not have to be synchronized. The person skilled in the art recognizes that three or more pull ropes can also be guided on a cable drum.

Figuren 5 - 14 zeigen mögliche Ausführungsformen des erfindungsgemäßen Arbeitstisches. Bei der Ausführungsform gemäß Figur 8 weist der Arbeitstisch drei Führungsschienen 3 auf, so dass die Arbeitsplatte an drei Stellen angehoben bzw. abgesenkt wird. Der Arbeitstisch gemäß Figur 10 weist ein Scharnier 21 auf, so dass die Arbeitsplatte 2 abklappbar ist und Scharniere 25, mit denen die Beinausleger 26 einklappbar sind. Bei der Ausführungsform gemäß Figur 11 ist der Arbeitstisch in einer Kiste angeordnet, um beispielsweise einen Femseher anheben oder absenken zu können. In Figur 12 sind die Führungsschienen 3 an einer Wand montiert und in Figur 13 sind die Führungsschienen 3 als Stützbeine ausgeführt und durch die Traverse 22 kraftschlüssig miteinander verbunden. Figur 14 zeigt eine weitere Ausführungsform der Traverse 22, die in dem vorliegenden Fall formschlüssig mit den Stützbeinen 3 zusammenwirkt , die durch die Seile 23 miteinander verspannt sind. FIGS. 5 to 14 show possible embodiments of the work table according to the invention. In the embodiment according to FIG. 8, the worktable has three guide rails 3, so that the worktop is raised or lowered at three points. The worktable according to FIG. 10 has a hinge 21 so that the worktop 2 can be folded down and hinges 25 with which the leg braces 26 can be folded. In the embodiment according to FIG. 11, the work table is arranged in a box, in order to be able to raise or lower a television, for example. In Figure 12, the guide rails 3 are mounted on a wall and in Figure 13, the guide rails 3 are designed as support legs and non-positively connected by the cross member 22. FIG. 14 shows a further embodiment of the traverse 22, which in the present case cooperates in a form-fitting manner with the support legs 3, which are clamped together by the cables 23.
