The present invention relates to a table with a worktable, which worktable is attached via a respective console on each of a height-adjustable part of columns, which columns are each mounted on a base plate, and with a screen table top, each releasably via a respective support means to each a console is fastened.

Such tables are known in many ways. On the one hand, a work table top is made available as a work surface by these tables, on the other hand, screens can be placed behind this work table top on an additionally mounted screen table top. These screens can be adjusted with respect to the worktable and the person working on this worktable plate by the screen table plate is made adjustable with respect to the worktable plate. It is adjustable, for example, the height of the screen table with respect to the worktable, but the screen table can also be slidably arranged so that the distance of the screen table from the worktable plate can be adjusted. But it is also possible to design the table so that the screen table plate with respect to the worktable plate is not adjustable, but is always in the same position see, for example DE 20 118 054 U ,

Such tables are made as a unit. Thus, tables are produced, which are equipped with a base for a height-adjustable work table top and a reference to the worktable plate fixed screen table top. If, for example, the screen table plate is to be height adjustable with respect to the worktable plate, another substructure of the table must be used. If a shift of the screen table plate is to be made possible with respect to the worktable plate, in turn, another appropriately equipped substructure must be used. It is thus necessary to use a suitable substructure for each variant of a table. Furthermore, it is not possible to convert a delivered table in a simple manner so that afterwards, for example a fixed with respect to the worktable tabletop screen table works as a height-adjustable screen tabletop.

The object of the invention is therefore to avoid these disadvantages mentioned above and to provide a table whose base is constructed so that it is easily adaptable to the desired types of functions that should perform the screen tabletop.

According to the invention, the solution of this object is achieved in that each console is provided with a connection plate and each support means with a support plate, which connection plate and which support plate for attaching the support means to the console are flanged together and that the support means has a support plate on which a connectable to the screen table plate connectable mounting plate is aligned connectable.

As a result, a table is obtained, the substructure, consisting of height-adjustable columns, which are each mounted on a base plate and fastened to the height-adjustable part of the column bracket, always the same, regardless of what functions the intended screen table plate should meet. Depending on the desired function, which is to fulfill the screen table, a correspondingly equipped support means can be used, which can be easily attached to the respective console. This also makes it possible to convert an existing table, for example, by providing a screen tabletop with the necessary support means that can fulfill the desired function. By the mounting plate, which is fixed to the underside of the screen table plate, can be connected to the support plate and aligned, the mounting plate can be brought with respect to the screen table plate in any position.

This will make it a lot easier Structure of the support device obtained, with which the screen table plate is raised and lowered.

Advantageously, the fixed part of at least one linear guide is fixed to the mounting plate, while the linearly movable part of the linear guide is fixed to the underside of the screen table top. About these linear guides, the screen table plate can be moved relative to the worktable, about the possibility of alignability of the mounting plate these linear guides can be easily aligned in parallel, so that the linear movement can be performed smoothly.

Advantageously, the mounting plate is connected via a centrally arranged screw with the support plate, so that the mounting plate about the axis of the screw with respect to the support plate is rotatable and alignable and can be fixed in the aligned state by tightening the screw. This makes the construction very easy.

Advantageously, a plurality of holes are mounted in the mounting plate, so that the mounting plate with respect to the support plate is selectively positionable. By this configuration, it is possible to attach the mounting plate in a preferred position on the underside of the screen tabletop, depending for example on the shape of this screen tabletop, and then connect them to the support plate in the appropriate position.

A further advantageous embodiment of the invention is that rows of holes are mounted in the holding plate, so that the holding plate can be screwed in a prepositioned height with the connection plate. As a result, the screen table plate can be adjusted with respect to the worktable plate in a desired height position.

Advantageously, each of two adjacent consoles below the work table top and below the screen tabletop pads are mounted on which the cables for screens and computers can be accommodated in an optimal manner.

Advantageously, the console, the support means and the mounting plate made of metal, in particular made of sheet steel or stainless steel. As a result, the corresponding facilities in a simple form by folding and welding can be achieved.

Advantageously, the height-adjustable columns and the lifting devices are actuated by an electric motor, which allows a comfortable height adjustment of the worktable plate and the screen tabletop.
