Definitions

  • the invention relates to a table with a height-adjustable table top and one arranged on the lateral outer areas of the table foot from which spread apart two legs. Between each of the two feet and the table top extends at least one guide column, which is mounted vertically adjustable in each foot.
  • a foot further comprises a connecting part, to which connect the two legs, and in which engages the guide column. The height adjustment takes place in different equipment variants manually or by electric motor.
  • the design patent US D448 948 S shows a height-adjustable table with two on the lateral outer areas parallel to each other arranged feet.
  • the feet each consist of two legs, which extend obliquely upward from one another on a footprint and thus form a gantry-like arrangement. From one of the legs, an indirectly connected to the table top rod is extendable, which can be locked by means of a lever in the selected extension height.
  • the invention has the object, with reduced material and Konstrukomsauf wall to propose a height-adjustable table with solid stability and generous space in the area of the feet.
  • the table should be easy to assemble and allow a practical and aesthetically appealing solution in handling.
  • Another object is to be able to change the position of the table legs in relation to the outside of the table in order to minimize or minimize the attachment of accessories such as accessories.
  • Another object is to provide the table with structures, e.g. to set up devices or to store utensils to complete.
  • the table - ie the top 10 of the table top 1 - is in the height setting h 1 , which is near the minimum height position h min . At the maximum height position h max , the tabletop top 10 would occupy the highest level above the ground.
  • the lateral alignment of both feet 2 is determined by the position P 2 of the freely displaceable and fixable bridge parts 5 , wherein the position P 2 is close to the maximum external position P max , while the latter is defined relative to the minimum external position P min .
  • recesses 12 are also provided, which mainly serve the passage of holders for table structures.

  • This group of figures aims to further illustrate the table structure, wherein the table top 1 is shown only hinting at the height position.
  • the pairs of guide posts 30 are moved further upwards out of the transverse struts 20 (see FIG Fig. 2A ).
  • the fixedly connected to the respective bridge part 5 vertically downwardly extending guide columns 30 support the relevant bridge part 5, which in turn carries one end of the two longitudinal beams 40 clamped and here holds the position P 2 .
  • the bridge part 5 has a recessed transmission bed 57, are housed in the essential elements of the lifting assembly 6 .
  • the table After partial lowering of both guide assemblies 3, the table reaches the height position h 1 , which is located near the minimum height position h min (see Fig. 2B . 2C ).
  • the bridge member 5 has on both sides a pair of spaced apart eyelet-shaped enclosures 56 with the respective passage 560.
  • the enclosures 56 and passageways 560 on each side are aligned with each other so that the end of the straight longitudinal spar 40 can be received therein.
  • Adjacent to each enclosure 56 are a first screw hole 51, which projects through the bridge part 5 vertically, and a thereto congruent lying screw seat 510 provided.
  • Second screw holes 52 serve to screw with the table top underside 11 through the bridge part 5 therethrough.
  • transmission bed 57 opens a pair of third screw holes 53 for attachment of the guide columns 30 and therebetween a spindle passage 550 for the spindle 62.
  • the shaft passage 55 is provided for receiving the connection shaft 601 , which synchronously drives both of the lift assemblies 6 at the table, with the connection shaft 601 being rotated by the drive and control unit 600 .
  • the bridge part 5 has been brought into contact with the foot 2 connected thereto via the guide assembly 3 and the lifting subassembly 6 along the longitudinal spars 40 - these are in the passages 560 in the enclosures 56 - in the selected external position between P min and P max , the assumed position is fixed by tightening the screws 50 , their heads partially under the underside of the longitudinal bars 40 clamped under.
  • the screw holes 51 either have an internal thread complementary to the screws 50 or a nut 500 is located therein .
