Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the general technical field of office furniture and office accessories or office plans job.
  • the invention relates to a removable support for accessories intended to be mounted on a worktop.
  • This removable medium has mounting means on an edge of the worktop and locking / unlocking means for moving and stably positioning said support on the edge of the work plane.
  • a means lighting or a computer screen As an example we can mount on the removable medium a means lighting or a computer screen. Other accessories can also be mounted on the removable support.
  • removable media are usually attached to the edge from the worktop via a vise system operated by screws. These removable media often have means of blocking / unlocking difficult to access and requiring a long manipulation before being able to move said removable medium.
  • Known removable media are generally unsuitable for support large loads such as computer screens or television while retaining the ability to be moved easily and stably by the user. Optimal positioning the easily and quickly accessible accessory can not usually not be obtained with known removable media.
  • the object of the present invention is thus to provide a support removable, including locking / unblocking on the edge of a worktop as well that moving with or without an accessory is easy and fast.
  • the locking / unlocking means comprise a single grasping member intended to extend above the plane of working and whose manipulation allows to block / unblock and moving said support along the edge.
  • the threaded upper part has three branches in the extension of the connecting arm and arranged relative to one another in angular orientation determined, one of the branches being intended to overhang the workplan.
  • the threaded upper part has a substantially V-shaped shape, in a cross section, each vertex is provided with a longitudinal thread.
  • the thread portions extend over a shorter length than the longitudinal windows, for allow sliding in the cylinder.
  • the end of the cylinder from which extends the tube comprises on a peripheral zone a pin stop cooperating with a support pin provided on the tapping of the gripping member, said support pin resting and moving on a given race of the peripheral zone, delimited by the stop lug.
  • a safety device prevents the separation of the lower and upper jaws of the worktop.
  • the device comprises a rod secured to the lower jaw, and having a bent end, engaged behind a stop of the work plan.
  • the stop is a groove in the underside of the worktop.
  • the stop is a substantially L-shaped, fixed under the worktop.
  • the device comprises skids teflon reported on the upper jaw and achieving the interface with the work plan.
  • the object of the present invention is also achieved by means of a Office type furniture equipped with a removable support as presented above.
  • the removable support according to the invention is for example intended to support accessories of a worktop 1.
  • the removable support has mounting means on an edge of the worktop 1. These mounting means make it possible to obtain stable positioning and rigid to support accessories of the computer screen type, television or others.
  • the removable support comprises locking / unlocking means allowing to move and position in a stable manner said support on the edge of the worktop 1.
  • the locking / unlocking means comprise an organ of gripping 2 intended to extend above the worktop 1.
  • the gripping member 2 is easily accessible to the user in a sitting or standing position with respect to the worktop. Moreover, the user is led to operate only the organ of grip 2 to lock and unlock the removable media, as well as to move and position the latter optimally on the plane of Work 1 and more precisely along the edge of said work plane 1.
  • the removable support has a lower jaw 3 extending at least partly under the worktop 1.
  • the lower jaw 3 thanks to a support plate 3a, allows the removable support to take support on the underside of the worktop 1.
  • the removable support further comprises an upper jaw 4 bearing on the plane working 1 with another support plate 4a.
  • the upper jaw 4 allows the support removable to take support on the upper face of the worktop 1 and supports the weight of the molded accessory on the worktop 1.
  • the removable support also includes a mechanism actuator associated with the gripping member 2, ensuring the clamping and the relative loosening of the lower and upper jaws 3. actuating mechanism thus allows to enclose the worktop 1 between the lower jaw 3 and the upper jaw 4 with manipulation of the gripping member 2, controlling the relative displacements of said jaws 3 and 4.
  • the actuating mechanism comprises a connecting arm 5 secured to the lower jaw 3 and extending substantially orthogonally to the support plate 3a.
  • the link arm 5 presents also a threaded upper part 6.
  • the threaded upper part 6 extends above the worktop 1, making it easily accessible.
  • the actuating mechanism also comprises an opening 7 of complementary shape to the threaded upper portion 6 and formed in the other support plate 4a.
  • Opening 7 can thus be traversed by the threaded upper part 6 protruding above the worktop 1. Opening 7 opens on a hollow cylinder 8, itself extended by a tube 9 of reduced diameter relative to the hollow cylinder 8. The latter is integral with the jaw 4 and the tube 9. It is on this tube 9 that are engaged the accessories.
  • the actuation mechanism also includes windows 10, formed in the hollow cylinder 8 starting from the opening 7.
  • the threaded upper part 6 thus engages and moves in the hollow cylinder 8 with threaded portions 6a protruding out of the longitudinal windows 10.
  • the gripping member 2 is advantageously a sleeve engaged on the hollow cylinder 8 and having a thread 11, shown for example in Figure 7.
  • the tapping 11 comes into engagement with the Thread portions 6a. So, when the different elements of the actuating mechanism co-operate, a rotation of the gripping 2 generates a sliding of the threaded upper part 6 in the hollow cylinder 8.
  • the upper jaw 4 rests on the plane of work 1, more precisely on its upper face, and stably as long as it supports the weight of the accessory. This last engaged on the tube 9 passes through an opening 2a provided for this purpose in the grasping member 2.
  • the threaded upper part 6 comprises three branches 12a, 12b, 12c in the extension of the arm of These three branches 12a, 12b, 12c are arranged compared to others in a defined angular orientation identical to the angular orientation of the longitudinal windows 10 formed in the hollow cylinder 8.
  • One 12c of the branches is consistent to overhang the work plan 1. We will be able to see for example in Figure 5.
  • the threaded upper part 6 has for example a shape substantially V-shaped in a cross-section with each vertex is provided with a longitudinal thread portion 6a. advantageously the thread portions 6a extend longitudinally along a length lower than that of the longitudinal windows 10 thus allowing a sliding in the hollow cylinder 8.
  • the longitudinal dimensions of the connecting arms 5 are chosen to allow a displacement of the lower jaw 3 with respect to the work surface 1 whose edge extends between the support plates 3a and 4a.
  • the end of the hollow cylinder 8 from which the tube 9 extends comprises on a peripheral zone 13 a stop lug 14.
  • the latter cooperates with a bearing pin 15 provided on the tapping 11 of the organ 2.
  • the support pin 15 rests and moves on the zone device 13 according to the race defined by the stop lug 14.
  • the lug 15 and the stop lug 14 are provided to limit the rotation of the gripping member 2 during the release of the removable support. This unblocking corresponds to loosening of the lower jaws 3 and superior 4 and more precisely to a downward movement of the lower jaw 3.
  • the removable support comprises a safety device preventing lower jaw separation 3 and upper 4 of the work plane 1 during the displacement of said support. This gives a safety of use, in this case when accessory is mounted on the removable support, when the gripping 2 is in a release position to move said support along the work surface 1. A backward movement, that is to say a clearance of the worktop 1 is thus impossible without a complementary voluntary action.
  • the safety device comprises for example a rod 16 secured of the lower jaw 3 and having a bent end 17 cooperating with a stop of the work plan 1.
  • the judgment is for example a groove 18 formed in the underside of the worktop 1.
  • the stop is a piece 19 substantially L-shaped, fixed under the worktop 1.
  • the rod 16 is secured to a section 20 with a rectangular section fixed for example by via screw 21 on the support plate 3a.
  • This profile 20 presents advantageously the same dimensions in thickness as the plane of work 1 and also carries out additional support for the plateau 4a.
  • the lower jaw 3 and upper 4 are therefore supported on a rigid support on either side of the connecting arm 5, contributing to the mounting stability of the removable media.
  • profile 20 is simply clamped between the lower jaws 3 and 4 and is not associated with any other fastening means on said lower jaw 3.
  • the safety devices are replaced by a fixed profile 22 fixed to the worktop 1.
  • This fixed profile 22 is fixed by all medium on the worktop 1 and presents in relation to the latter a given spacing making it possible to make an introductory slit 23 for the lower jaw 3.
  • the removable support has Teflon ® pads 24 attached to the upper jaw 4 and realizing the interface with the work plane 1. It is thus possible to slide with great ease the support removable on the worktop 1.
  • the accessory intended to be mounted on the removable support, according to the invention is preferably provided with a mounting member, not shown, engaging in or on the tube 9.
  • the engagement member is a hollow tube shown, the end of which rests on the upper end 8a of the hollow cylinder 8.
  • the pitch of the thread portions 6a is chosen to generate with a rotation for example a quarter turn of the gripping member 2, a sufficient movement of the lower jaw 3, allowing the sliding removable support on the worktop 1.
  • the displacement of the lower jaw 3, corresponding to the unlocking is delimited by the arrival in abutment of the bearing pin 15 on the stop lug 14.
  • the pitch of the thread portions 6a is adapted to thickness, generally standard of work plans 1.
  • the dimensions of the angled end 17, the groove 18 or the piece 19 are also chosen to avoid a relative disengagement following unblocking, that is to say moving down the lower jaw 3, corresponding to the rotation of the organ of grasping 2 arriving in abutment. Any disengagement between the support removable and the worktop 1 is thus prevented during its sliding on said work plane 1.
  • the user can move any accessory on a work plan with great security, in the absence of a fixed profile 22.
  • Another advantage of the removable support according to the invention lies in that any manipulation therein is reduced to rotation of the gripping member 2 on a fraction of a turn.
  • the user wishes to disassemble the removable support of the worktop 1, he is sufficient starting from the unlock position to lift slightly the gripping member 2 so that the bearing pin 15 escapes the stop made by the stop pin 14 while continuing the unscrewing between the gripping member 2 and the threaded upper part 6.
  • Another advantage of the removable support according to the invention lies in the positioning of the lower jaw clamping axis 3 and This axis is offset to the inside of the worktop 1 and this thanks to the conformation of the branches 12a, 12b, 12c, and in particular thanks to the overhanging position of the branch 12c with respect to the plane of 1. This provides a more efficient clamping and positioning more stable removable support on the worktop 1.
  • Another advantage related to the removable support according to the invention resides in the concentric mounting of the hollow cylinder 8 of the tube 9 and the gripping member 2. Thus, with a number of pieces reduced, a small footprint and a remarkable aesthetic quality.
