Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Tisch mit einer verschiebbaren Tischplatte und einer Sicherungseinrichtung gemäß dem Oberbegriff der Ansprüche 1 und 4.The invention relates to a table with a sliding table top and a safety device according to the preamble of claims 1 and 4.

Es ist bekannt, Tischplatten relativ zum Tischgestell horizontal verschiebbar anzuordnen, um von oben her freien Zugriff auf einen Kabelkanal zu erhalten, der am Tischgestell befestigt und normalerweise, d.h. in der Gebrauchsendstellung der Tischplatte, von dieser überdeckt wird. Hierzu ist die Tischplatte üblicherweise an seitlichen Plattentragelementen des Tischgestells verschiebbar geführt und weist an ihrer Unterseite Gleitstücke auf, die in Gleitstückführungen der Plattentragelemente eingreifen und längs dieser verschoben werden können.It is known to arrange table tops horizontally displaceable relative to the table frame in order to obtain from above free access to a cable duct which is attached to the table frame and normally, i. in the use end position of the table top, is covered by this. For this purpose, the table top is usually slidably guided on lateral plate support members of the table frame and has on its underside sliders that engage in Gleitstückführungen the plate support members and can be moved along this.

Gegenstand der DE 9418530 U1 ist ein Tischgestell mit einer verschiebbaren Tischplatte. Das Tischgestell besitzt Haltewinkel als Führungswinkel mit Längsschlitzen, mit denen sie auf an einem Untergestell befestigten, feststehenden Führungsbolzen verschiebbar gelagert sind, und die Längsschlitze weisen Rastausnehmungen aus, in die die Führungsbolzen in einer abgesenkten Stellung der Führungswinkel und der Tischplatte rastend eingreifen und diese in der waagerechten Tischebene arretieren, während in angehobener Stellung der Führungswinkel die Führungsbolzen aus den Rastausnehmungen herausgleiten und eine Verschiebung zulassen.Subject of the DE 9418530 U1 is a table frame with a sliding table top. The table frame has brackets as a guide angle with longitudinal slots, with which they are slidably mounted on fixed to a base, fixed guide pin, and the longitudinal slots have recesses into which engage the guide pin in a lowered position of the guide bracket and the table latching and this in the Lock horizontal level of the table, while in the raised position of the guide angle, the guide pin slide out of the recesses and allow a shift.

Um zu verhindern, dass beim Schließen des Kabelkanals, d.h. beim Überführen der Tischplatte in ihre Gebrauchsendstellung, die Finger eingeklemmt werden, ist es Vorschrift, dass eine Sicherungseinrichtung vorgesehen ist.In order to prevent that when closing the cable channel, ie when transferring the table top in its end use position, the fingers are clamped, it is a rule that a safety device is provided.

Eine bekannte Sicherungseinrichtung umfasst Sperrhebel, die kurz vor Erreichen der Gebrauchsendstellung das weitere Verschieben der Tischplatte blockieren und das Verschieben der Tischplatte in ihrer Gebrauchsendstellung erst dann zulassen, wenn die Sperrhebel manuell in eine Freigabeposition geschwenkt werden. Nachteilig ist hierbei jedoch, dass separate Sperrhebel betätigt werden müssen, so dass das vollständige Schließen der Tischplatte etwas umständlich ist. Darüber hinaus stellt diese bekannte Sicherungseinrichtung unter fertigungstechnischen und Kostengesichtspunkten keine optimale Lösung dar. Ferner müssen die bekannten Sperrhebel an gut zugänglichen Stellen angebracht werden, was auch von designerischen Gesichtspunkten her problematisch werden kann.A known safety device comprises locking lever, which shortly before reaching the end of use blocking the further movement of the table top and only allow the movement of the table top in its use end position when the locking lever are manually pivoted into a release position. The disadvantage here, however, that separate locking lever must be pressed so that the complete closing of the table top is somewhat cumbersome. In addition, this known safety device under manufacturing and cost considerations is not an optimal solution. Furthermore, the known locking lever must be attached to easily accessible places, which can be problematic from a designer point of view.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Tisch mit einer verschiebbaren Tischplatte und einer Sicherungseinrichtung zu schaffen, die auf möglichst einfache und kostengünstige Weise herzustellen sowie auf sehr einfache Weise zu handhaben ist.The invention has for its object to provide a table with a sliding table top and a safety device that is to produce as simple and inexpensive way and to handle in a very simple manner.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch einen Tisch mit den Merkmalen der Ansprüche 1 und 4 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen der Erfindung sind in den weiteren Ansprüchen beschrieben.This object is achieved by a table with the features of claims 1 and 4. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are described in the further claims.

Gemäß Anspruch 1 umfasst die Sicherungseinrichtung einen in das Gleitstück integrierten oder an diesem befestigten Dämpfer, der einen über das Gleitstück hinausragenden und gedämpft in ein Dämpfergehäuse einschiebbaren Dämpferstößel aufweist, wobei der Dämpferstößel beim Verschieben der Tischplatte in die Gebrauchsendstellung eine vorbestimmte Strecke vor der Gebrauchsendstellung mit einem Anschlag in Eingriff gelangt, der am Plattentragelement vorgesehen ist.According to claim 1, the safety device comprises a built-in slider or attached to this damper, which has a slidably projecting and damped damper housing in a damper damper damper plunger, wherein the damper plunger when moving the table top in the use end position a predetermined distance before the end use position with a attack engaged, which is provided on the plate support member.

Die erfindungsgemäße Sicherungseinrichtung wird somit in ein Teil, nämlich in das Gleitstück, integriert, das bei Tischen mit verschiebbaren Tischplatten bereits vorhanden ist. Die Anzahl zusätzlicher Teile, die für die Sicherungseinrichtung benötigt werden, kann auf diese Weise minimiert werden. Alternativ hierzu ist es auch denkbar, dass der Dämpfer nicht integral mit dem Gleitstück ausgebildet, sondern an diesem befestigt ist. Da der Dämpfer einfach dadurch ein Einklemmen der Finger beim Verschieben der Tischplatte in ihre Gebrauchsendstellung verhindert, dass der Schiebewiderstand etwas vergrößert wird, ist es auch nicht erforderlich, die Sicherungseinrichtung separat manuell zu betätigen. Vielmehr ist es lediglich erforderlich, die Tischplatte mit einer etwas größeren Kraft in die Gebrauchsendstellung weiter zu schieben. Weiterhin ergibt sich nicht die Notwendigkeit, die Sicherungseinrichtung an einer gut zugänglichen Stelle anzubringen. Die erfindungsgemäße Sicherungseinrichtung kann ferner auf sehr einfache und kostengünstige Weise hergestellt und montiert werden.The securing device according to the invention is thus integrated in one part, namely in the slider, which is already present in tables with sliding table tops. The number of additional parts needed for the securing device can be minimized in this way. Alternatively, it is also conceivable that the damper is not integrally formed with the slider, but attached thereto. Since the damper simply prevents jamming of the fingers when moving the table top into its end of use position that the sliding resistance is slightly increased, it is also not necessary to manually operate the safety device separately. Rather, it is only necessary to push the table top with a slightly larger force in the use end position on. Furthermore, there is no need to attach the safety device in an easily accessible place. The safety device according to the invention can also be manufactured and mounted in a very simple and cost-effective manner.

Gemäß einem vorteilhaften Ausführungsbeispiel ist das Dämpfergehäuse einstückig mit dem Gleitstück ausgebildet. Hierdurch kann die Anzahl der Teile minimiert werden.According to an advantageous embodiment, the damper housing is formed integrally with the slider. This can minimize the number of parts.

Vorteilhafterweise besteht die Gleitstückführung aus einer im Plattentragelement vorgesehenen Längsnut, in welcher der Anschlag eingesetzt ist. Die Einsetzstelle des Anschlags innerhalb der Längsnut bestimmt damit denjenigen Ort, ab dem die Sicherungseinrichtung zu wirken beginnt.Advantageously, the slide guide consists of a longitudinal support provided in the plate support member, in which the stopper is inserted. The insertion of the stop within the longitudinal groove thus determines the place from which the safety device begins to act.

Der Einsetzort des Anschlags kann auf einfache Weise an verschiedene Tischtypen und Erfordernisse angepasst werden. Alternativ hierzu ist es auch ohne weiteres möglich, keine separaten Anschläge vorzusehen, sondern als Anschlag das jeweilige Ende der Längsnut zu benutzen.The location of the stop can be easily adapted to different types of tables and requirements. Alternatively, it is also readily possible to provide no separate stops, but to use as a stop the respective end of the longitudinal groove.

Die Aufgabe wird weiterhin erfindungsgemäß durch einen Tisch mit den Merkmalen des Anspruches 4 gelöst, bei dem sich der Dämpfer nicht am Gleitstück, sondern am Plattentragelement befindet. Erfindungsgemäß weist eine derartige Sicherungseinrichtung einen am Plattentragelement vorgesehenen Dämpfer mit einem Dämpfergehäuse und einem in Richtung des Gleitstückes vorstehenden, gedämpft in das Dämpfergehäuse einschiebbaren Dämpferstößel auf, wobei das Gleitstück beim Verschieben der Tischplatte in die Gebrauchsendstellung eine vorbestimmte Strecke vor der Gebrauchsendstellung mit dem Dämpferstößel in Eingriff gelangt. Diese alternative Ausführungsform weist dieselben Vorteile, wie vorstehend im Zusammenhang mit dem ersten Ausführungsbeispiel beschrieben, auf.The object is further achieved by a table with the features of claim 4, wherein the damper is not on the slider, but on the plate support member. According to the invention, such a securing device comprises a damper housing provided on the plate support member and a damper plunger protruding in the direction of the slider, the slider moving into the end of use position a predetermined distance before the end of use position with the damper plunger arrives. This alternative embodiment has the same advantages as described above in connection with the first embodiment.

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform weist der Tisch an seinen zwei Seitenbereichen Plattentragelemente, Gleitstücke und Dämpfer auf. Hierdurch kann die Tischplatte auf sehr gleichförmige Weise in ihre Gebrauchsendstellung verschoben werden.According to an advantageous embodiment, the table on its two side areas plate support members, sliders and dampers. As a result, the table top can be moved in a very uniform manner in their use end position.

Vorteilhafterweise umfasst der Dämpfer, der mechanisch, pneumatisch oder hydraulisch gedämpft sein kann, eine Federeinrichtung, welche auf den Dämpferstößel eine Vorspannkraft in Ausfahrrichtung ausübt. Hierdurch wird der Dämpferstößel automatisch aus dem Dämpfergehäuse ausgefahren, wenn die Tischplatte von ihrer Gebrauchsendstellung in eine zurückgezogene Stellung überführt wird, um beispielsweise einen am Tischgestell befestigten Kabelkanal freizulegen. Der Dämpfer wird dadurch automatisch aktiviert. Alternativ hierzu ist es auch denkbar, dass der Dämpferstößel mit einem Rückhalteteil zusammenwirkt, das den Dämpferstößel beim Zurückziehen aus dem Dämpfergehäuse herauszieht und beim weiteren Zurückziehen der Tischplatte den Dämpferstößel freigibt.Advantageously, the damper, which may be damped mechanically, pneumatically or hydraulically, comprises a spring device which exerts a preload force in the extension direction on the damper plunger. As a result, the damper plunger is automatically extended out of the damper housing when the table top from its end of life position is transferred to a retracted position, for example, to expose a cable channel attached to the table frame. The damper will be activated automatically. Alternatively, it is also conceivable that the damper plunger cooperates with a retaining member which pulls the damper plunger when pulling back from the damper housing and releases the damper plunger upon further retraction of the table top.

Aus den Figuren 1 bis 5 ist ein einzelnes Plattentragelement 1 ersichtlich, das Teil eines nicht näher dargestellten Tischgestells ist. Das Plattentragelement 1 ist das obere Teil eines Tischgestell-Seitenteils, das im Wesentlichen eine Doppel-T-förmige Gestalt hat. Eine hülsenförmige Aufnahme 2 (Figuren 1 bis 3) dient zur Befestigung einer nicht dargestellten Vertikalstütze des Tischgestells. Ein seitlicher Verbindungsstutzen 3 (Figuren 4, 5) dient dazu, zwei beabstandete Plattentragelemente 1 mittels eines nicht dargestellten horizontalen Längsträgers miteinander zu verbinden.From the FIGS. 1 to 5 is a single plate support member 1 can be seen, which is part of a table frame, not shown. The plate supporting member 1 is the upper part of a table frame side member, which has a substantially double-T-shaped configuration. A sleeve-shaped receptacle 2 ( FIGS. 1 to 3 ) is used to attach a vertical support, not shown, of the table frame. A side connection 3 ( FIGS. 4, 5 ) serves to connect two spaced plate support members 1 by means of a horizontal longitudinal support, not shown.

Die Plattentragelemente 1 dienen zur verschiebbaren Auflage einer Tischplatte 4 und weisen hierzu eine horizontale Auflagefläche 5 auf. Üblicherweise sind die Plattentragelemente 1 in der Nähe der seitlichen Ränder 6 der Tischplatte 4 und parallel zu diesen angeordnet.The plate support elements 1 serve for the displaceable support of a table top 4 and for this purpose have a horizontal support surface 5. Usually, the plate support members 1 in the vicinity of the lateral edges 6 of the table top 4 and arranged parallel to these.

Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel haben die Plattentragelemente 1 die Form von länglichen Profilarmen, wobei die Tischplatte 4 in Längsrichtung der Plattentragelemente 1 verschoben werden kann, um von oben her Zugang zu einem nicht dargestellten Kabelkanal zu schaffen, der im Bereich zwischen den Verbindungsstutzen 3 und dem linken Ende der Plattentragelemente 1 in Längsrichtung des Tisches verläuft und an den Plattentragelementen 1 oder an dem nicht dargestellten Längsträger, mit dem zwei beabstandete Plattentragelemente 1 verbunden sind, befestigt ist.In the illustrated embodiment, the plate support members 1 in the form of elongated profile arms, the table top 4 can be moved in the longitudinal direction of the plate support members 1 to provide access from above to a cable duct, not shown, in the region between the connecting piece 3 and the left end the plate support elements 1 extends in the longitudinal direction of the table and is fixed to the plate support elements 1 or to the longitudinal member, not shown, to which two spaced plate support members 1 are connected.

Figur 2 zeigt die Tischplatte 4 in ihrer geschlossenen Gebrauchsendstellung, in welcher sie den Kabelkanal überdeckt, während Figur 3 die Tischplatte 4 in einer zurückgezogenen Stellung zeigt, in welcher der Kabelkanal von oben her zugänglich ist. FIG. 2 shows the table top 4 in its closed use end position, in which it covers the cable channel, while FIG. 3 the table top 4 in a retracted position, in which the cable channel of accessible above.

In jedem Plattentragelement 1 befindet sich eine in Längsrichtung der Plattentragelemente 1 angeordnete Gleitstückführung 7 in der Form einer Längsnut, die nach oben hin offen ist. An der Unterseite der Tischplatte 4 sind entsprechend angeordnete Gleitstücke 8 befestigt, die in die Gleitstückführungen 7 eingreifen. Die seitlichen Wände der Gleitstückführung 7 führen die Gleitstücke 8 und damit die Tischplatte 4, wenn diese längs der Plattentragelemente 1 verschoben wird.In each plate support member 1 is arranged in the longitudinal direction of the plate support members 1 slide guide 7 in the form of a longitudinal groove which is open at the top. On the underside of the table top 4 correspondingly arranged sliders 8 are fixed, which engage in the slider guides 7. The side walls of the Gleitstückführung 7 lead the sliders 8 and thus the table top 4 when it is moved along the plate support members 1.

Das Gleitstück 8 weist einen Dämpfer 9 mit einem Dämpfergehäuse 10 und einem Dämpferstößel 11 auf. Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist eine integrierte Ausführungsform gezeigt, bei welcher das Gleitstück 8 das Dämpfergehäuse 10 bildet. Der Dämpferstößel 11 steht in Längsrichtung des Dämpfergehäuses 10 über dieses nach vorne, d.h. in den Figuren 1 bis 5 nach links, vor und kann gedämpft zwischen einer in Figur 3 dargestellten ausgefahrenen Stellung und einer in den Figuren 1 und 2 gezeigten eingezogenen Stellung bewegt werden. Die Dämpfung der Stößelbewegung kann beispielsweise auf mechanische, pneumatische oder hydraulische Weise erfolgen.The slider 8 has a damper 9 with a damper housing 10 and a damper plunger 11. In the illustrated embodiment, an integrated embodiment is shown in which the slider 8 forms the damper housing 10. The damper plunger 11 is in the longitudinal direction of the damper housing 10 via this forward, ie in the FIGS. 1 to 5 to the left, in front and can be muffled between a FIG. 3 shown extended position and one in the Figures 1 and 2 shown retracted position to be moved. The damping of the plunger movement can be done for example in a mechanical, pneumatic or hydraulic manner.

Wird die Tischplatte 4 von der in Figur 3 gezeigten geöffneten Stellung nach links in die in Figur 2 gezeigte, geschlossene Gebrauchsendstellung verschoben, stößt der Dämpferstößel 11 eine bestimmte Strecke, beispielsweise 2 bis 4 cm, vor Erreichen der Gebrauchsendstellung an einem Anschlag 12 an, der sich in der Gleitstückführung 7 befindet. Das weitere Verschieben der Tischplatte 4 in ihre Gebrauchsendstellung gemäß Figur 2 kann somit nur erfolgen, wenn die Tischplatte 4 mit etwas größerer Kraft in diese Richtung geschoben wird, so dass der Dämpferstößel 11 in das Dämpfergehäuse 10 eingeschoben wird.Is the table top 4 of the in FIG. 3 shown open position to the left in the FIG. 2 shifted shown closed end of life, pushes the damper plunger 11 a certain distance, for example 2 to 4 cm, before reaching the end of use position on a stop 12, which is located in the Gleitstückführung 7. The further movement of the table top 4 in its use end position according to FIG. 2 can thus only be done when the table top 4 is pushed with a slightly greater force in this direction, so that the damper plunger 11 is inserted into the damper housing 10.

Wird die Tischplatte 4 von ihrer Gebrauchsendstellung in die geöffnete Stellung zurückgezogen, fährt der Dämpferstößel 11 automatisch wieder aus dem Dämpfergehäuse 10 aus. Dies kann beispielsweise durch eine im Dämpfergehäuse 10 vorgesehene Federeinrichtung erfolgen.If the table top 4 is withdrawn from its use end position to the open position, the damper plunger 11 automatically moves out of the damper housing 10 again. This can be done, for example, by a spring device provided in the damper housing 10.

Alternativ zu dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist es auch möglich, den Dämpfer 9 getrennt vom Gleitstück 8 auszubilden und stationär innerhalb der Gleitstückführung 7 derart anzuordnen, dass der Dämpferstößel 11 in die umgekehrte Richtung, d.h. nach rechts, zeigt. Die an der Unterseite der Tischplatte 4 befestigten Gleitstücke dienen in diesem Fall als Anschläge, die beim Schließen der Tischplatte 4 gegen den Dämpferstößel 11 gefahren werden, wenn sich die Tischplatte 4 kurz vor ihrer Gebrauchsendstellung befindet, so dass das vollständige Schließen der Tischplatte 4 wiederum nur möglich ist, wenn der Dämpferstößel 11 in das Dämpfergehäuse 10 eingeschoben wird.As an alternative to the illustrated embodiment, it is also possible to form the damper 9 separately from the slider 8 and to arrange stationarily within the slider guide 7 such that the damper plunger 11 in the reverse direction, i. to the right, shows. The attached to the underside of the table top 4 sliders are used in this case as stops that are driven when closing the table top 4 against the damper plunger 11 when the table top 4 is close to its end of use position, so that the complete closing of the table top 4 again only is possible when the damper plunger 11 is inserted into the damper housing 10.

Alternativ zu dem gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel wäre es auch denkbar, ein Tischgestell vorzusehen, das lediglich ein einzelnes größeres, plattenartiges Plattentragelement aufweist, oder eine größere Anzahl von Plattentragelementen, beispielsweise drei oder vier Plattentragelemente. In diesem Fall ist es auch denkbar, nicht in jedem Plattentragelement einen Dämpfer 9 vorzusehen, da zwei Dämpfer 9 in der Regel ausreichend sind.Alternatively to the embodiment shown, it would also be conceivable to provide a table frame having only a single larger, plate-like plate support member, or a larger number of plate support members, for example, three or four plate support members. In this case, it is also conceivable not to provide a damper 9 in each plate supporting element, since two dampers 9 are generally sufficient.

Alternativ wäre es jedoch denkbar, lediglich einen einzigen Dämpfer 9 vorzusehen, der dann zweckmäßigerweise mit einem mittigen Plattentragelement zusammenwirkt.Alternatively, it would be conceivable, only a single Provide damper 9, which then cooperates expediently with a central plate support member.
