Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the general technical field of office furniture and office accessories or worktops.
  • the invention relates to a removable support for accessories to be mounted on a worktop.
  • This removable support comprises mounting means on an edge of the work plane and locking / unlocking means for moving and stably positioning said support on the edge of the work plane.
  • a lighting means or a computer screen can be mounted on the removable support.
  • Other accessories can also be mounted on the removable support.
  • the known removable supports are generally fixed on the edge of the worktop via a vise system actuated by screws. These removable media often have locking / unlocking means that are difficult to access and require lengthy handling before moving said removable support.
  • the known removable media are generally unsuitable for supporting large loads such as computer or television screens while maintaining the ability to be moved easily and stably by the user. Optimal positioning of the achievable accessory easily and quickly can not generally be achieved with known removable media.
  • US Patent 5938150 discloses a removable medium to be mounted on the edge of a worktop.
  • the object of the present invention is thus to provide a removable support whose locking / unblocking on the edge of a worktop and its movement with or without an accessory is easy and fast.
  • the locking / unlocking means comprise a single gripping member intended to extend above the working plane and whose manipulation makes it possible to block / unblock and move said support along the edge.
  • the threaded upper portion comprises three branches in the extension of the link arm and arranged relative to each other in a specific angular orientation, one of the branches being intended to overhang the work plane.
  • the threaded upper portion has a substantially V-shaped, in a cross section, each vertex is provided with a longitudinal thread.
  • the thread portions extend over a length less than that of the longitudinal windows, to allow sliding in the cylinder.
  • the end of the cylinder from which the tube extends comprises on a peripheral zone a stop lug cooperating with a bearing lug provided on the tapping of the gripping member, said support pin resting and moving on a given stroke of the peripheral zone, delimited by the stop lug.
  • a safety device prevents the separation of the lower and upper jaws of the work plane.
  • the device comprises a rod secured to the lower jaw, and having a bent end, engaged behind a stop of the work plane.
  • the stop is a groove formed in the underside of the work plane.
  • the stop is a substantially L-shaped part, fixed under the work plan.
  • the device comprises teflon pads attached to the upper jaw and providing the interface with the work plane.
  • the object of the present invention is also achieved with office 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 comprises mounting means on an edge of the worktop 1. These mounting means make it possible to obtain a Stable and rigid positioning to support accessories such as computer screen, television or others.
  • the removable support comprises locking / unlocking means for stably moving and positioning said support on the edge of the worktop 1.
  • the locking / unlocking means comprise a gripping member 2 intended to extend above the working plane 1.
  • the gripping member 2 is thus easily accessible to the user in a sitting or standing position with respect to the plane
  • the user is required to actuate only the gripping member 2 to block and unblock the removable medium, and to move and position the latter optimally on the work plane 1 and more specifically the along the edge of said work plane 1.
  • the removable support comprises a lower jaw 3 extending at least partially under the work plane 1.
  • the lower jaw 3 thanks to a support plate 3a, allows the removable support to bear on the underside of the plane of work 1.
  • the removable support further comprises an upper jaw 4 bearing on the work plane 1 with another support plate 4a. 1 and 2.
  • the upper jaw 4 allows the removable support to bear on the upper face of the work plane 1 and supports the weight of the molded accessory on the work plane 1.
  • the removable support also comprises an actuating mechanism associated with the gripping member 2, ensuring the relative clamping and loosening of the lower jaw 3 and upper jaw 4.
  • the actuating mechanism thus makes it possible to grip the work plane 1 between the lower jaw 3 and upper 4 with manipulation of the gripping member 2, controlling the relative movements 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 also has a threaded upper portion 6.
  • the threaded upper portion 6 extends above the worktop 1, thus making it easily accessible.
  • the actuating mechanism also comprises an opening 7 of complementary shape to the upper threaded portion 6 and formed in the other support plate 4a.
  • the opening 7 can thus be traversed by the threaded upper part 6 protruding above the working plane 1.
  • the opening 7 opens onto a hollow cylinder 8, itself extended by a tube 9 of reduced diameter relative to the hollow cylinder 8.
  • the latter is secured to the upper jaw 4 and the tube 9. It is on the tube 9 that the accessories are engaged.
  • the actuating mechanism also comprises longitudinal 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 threading portions 6a making protruding out of the longitudinal windows 10.
  • the gripping member 2 is advantageously a sleeve engaged on the hollow cylinder 8 and having a tapping 11, shown for example in Figure 7.
  • the tapping 11 engages with the thread portions 6a.
  • the threaded upper portion 6 comprises three branches 12a, 12b, 12c in the extension of the connecting arm 5. These three branches 12a, 12b, 12c are arranged relative to each other in a same identical angular orientation the angular orientation of the longitudinal windows 10 formed in the hollow cylinder 8. The one 12c of the branches is shaped to overhang the work plane 1. Reference can be made for example to Figure 5.
  • the threaded upper portion 6 has for example a substantially V shape in a cross section, each vertex is provided with a longitudinal thread portion 6a.
  • the thread portions 6a extend longitudinally over a length less than that of the longitudinal windows 10 thus allowing sliding in the hollow cylinder 8.
  • the longitudinal dimensions of the connecting arm 5 are chosen to allow movement of the lower jaw 3 by relative to the work plane 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 lug 15 provided on the tapping 11 of the body of the 2.
  • the support pin 15 rests and moves on the peripheral zone 13 along the race defined by the stop lug 14.
  • the the support pin 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 release corresponds to a loosening of the lower jaw 3 and upper 4 and more precisely to a downward movement of the lower jaw 3.
  • the removable support comprises a safety device preventing the separation of the lower jaw 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 an accessory is mounted on the removable support, when the gripping member 2 is in an unlocking position for moving said support along the work plane 1. A rearward movement, that is to say a clearance of the work plan 1 is thus impossible without additional voluntary action.
  • the safety device comprises for example a rod 16 secured to the lower jaw 3 and having a bent end 17 cooperating with a stop of the work plane 1.
  • the stop is for example a groove 18 formed in the underside of the work plan 1.
  • the stop is a piece 19 substantially L-shaped, fixed under the work plane 1.
  • the rod 16 is secured to a section 20 of rectangular section fixed for example by means of screws 21 on the support plate 3a.
  • This profile 20 advantageously has the same dimensions in thickness as the plane of Work 1 and also provides additional support for the tray 4a.
  • the lower jaw 3 and upper 4 therefore rest on a rigid support on either side of the link arm 5, contributing to the mounting stability of the removable support.
  • the profile 20 is simply clamped between the lower and upper jaws 3 and is not associated with any other fastening means on said lower jaw 3.
  • the safety devices are replaced by a fixed profile 22 integral with the worktop 1.
  • This fixed profile 22 is fixed by any means on the worktop 1 and present by relative to the latter, a given spacing making it possible to provide an insertion slot 23 for the lower jaw 3.
  • the removable support comprises Teflon® pads 24 fixed on the upper jaw 4 and forming the interface with the worktop 1. It is thus possible to slide with a large diameter. facilitates the removable support 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 not shown hollow tube whose end 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 of a quarter turn of the gripping member 2, a sufficient movement of the lower jaw 3, allowing the sliding of the removable support on the work plane 1.
  • the displacement of the lower jaw 3, corresponding to the release is defined by the arrival at the stop of the bearing lug 15 on the stop lug 14.
  • the pitch of the thread portions 6a is adapted to the thickness, in general standard work plans 1.
  • the dimensions of the angled end 17, the groove 18 or the part 19 are also chosen to avoid relative disengagement following release, that is to say the downward movement of the lower jaw 3, corresponding to the rotation of the gripping member 2 arriving in abutment. Any disengagement between the removable support and the work plane 1 is thus prevented during its sliding on said work plane 1.
  • the user can move any accessory on a worktop with great security, in the absence of a fixed profile 22.
  • Another advantage of the removable support according to the invention resides in the fact that any manipulation relating thereto is reduced to the rotation of the gripping member 2 over a fraction of a turn.
  • Another advantage of the removable support according to the invention lies in the positioning of the clamping axis of the lower jaw 3 and upper 4. This axis is offset to the interior of the work plane 1 and thanks to the conformation of the branches 12a, 12b, 12c, and in particular thanks to the overhanging position of the branch 12c relative to the working plane 1. This provides a more efficient clamping and a more stable positioning of the removable support on the work plane 1.
  • Another advantage related to the removable support according to the invention lies in the concentric mounting of the hollow cylinder 8 of the tube 9 and the gripping member 2.
