Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Tisch mit einer Tischplatte, die über ein Tischbein mit einem am Erdboden aufstellbaren Standfuß verbunden ist, wobei zwischen der Tischplatte und dem Standfuß ein Schwenkgelenk angeordnet ist, mittels dem die Tischplatte um mindestens eine quer zur Längserstreckung des Tischbeins angeordnete Schwenkachse relativ zum Standfuß verschwenkbar ist, und mit einer zwischen einer Offen- und einer Schließstellung verstellbaren Arretierungseinrichtung für das Schwenkgelenk, mittels der die Tischplatte in unterschiedlichen Schwenklagen in Bezug zum Standfuß fixierbar ist.The invention relates to a table with a table top, which is connected via a table leg with a floor mountable stand, wherein between the table top and the base a pivot joint is arranged, by means of which the table top at least one transverse to the longitudinal extent of the table leg pivot axis relative to Stand is pivotable, and with an adjustable between an open and a closed position locking device for the pivot joint, by means of which the table top in different pivotal positions in relation to the base is fixable.

Ein derartiger Tisch ist aus DE 20 2005 015 564 U1 bekannt. Das Tischbein dieses Tisches ist über ein Kugelgelenk seitlich verschwenkbar bzw. verkippbar mit dem Standfuß verbunden. Das Kugelgelenk hat ein im Wesentlichen kugelförmiges, am unteren Ende des Tischbeins angeordnetes erstes Lagerteil und ein dazu passendes, eine Aufnahme für das kugelförmige Ende aufweisendes zweites Lagerteil, das mit dem Standfuß fest verbunden ist. Damit die Tischplatte in unterschiedlichen Schwenklagen an dem Standfuß fixiert werden kann, hat der Tisch eine Arretierungseinrichtung für das Kugelgelenk. Diese weist eine an dem Kugelgelenk angeordnete Feststellschraube auf, mittels der die Lagerteile des Kugelgelenks gegeneinander verspannt und festgeklemmt werden können, so dass sie dann gegen Verschwenken blockiert sind. Mit Hilfe des Kugelgelenks und der Arretierungseinrichtung kann der Tisch auch auf einem schrägem und/oder unebenen Untergrund, wie z.B. im Garten, jeweils so aufgestellt werden, dass die Tischplatte in einer Horizontalebene angeordnet ist. Somit können Gegenstände, die auf dem Tisch abgestellt werden, wie z.B. Sektgläser oder Getrönkeflaschen, nicht so leicht umkippen. Der Tisch hat jedoch den Nachteil, dass die Handhabung der Arretierungseinrichtung noch relativ umständlich ist, weil die Feststellschraube unter dem Tisch in der Nähe Standfußes angeordnet ist, wo sie für den Benutzer des Tisches nur schwer zugänglich ist. Auf die Feststellschraube kann zwar eine Verlängerungsstange aufgeschraubt werden, die an ihrem von der Feststellschraube entfernten Ende einen Griff zum Betätigen der Feststellschraube aufweist. Die Verlängerungsstange wird jedoch von den Benutzern des Tisches eher als störend empfunden, weil sie in Gebrauchsstellung etwa unter einem Winkel von 45° vom Tischbein seitlich vorsteht, so dass eine Person, die am Tisch sitzt, mit den Beinen an der Verlängerungsstange anstoßen kann. Dabei können Gegenstände, die auf der Tischplatte abgestellt sind, umkippen und/oder auf den Boden fallen. Ungünstig ist außerdem, dass das Betätigen des relativ kleinen Griffs einen nicht unerheblichen Kraftaufwand erfordert. Wird jedoch die Feststellschraube nicht fest genug angezogen, kann die Tischplatte unkontrolliert verkippen, wobei darauf abgestellte Gegenstände ebenfalls umkippen und/oder herunterfallen können.Such a table is out DE 20 2005 015 564 U1 known. The table leg of this table is laterally pivotable or tiltable connected via a ball joint with the base. The ball joint has a substantially spherical, arranged at the lower end of the table leg first bearing part and a matching, a receptacle for the spherical end exhibiting second bearing member which is fixedly connected to the base. Thus, the table top can be fixed in different pivoting positions on the base, the table has a locking device for the ball joint. This has a locking joint arranged on the ball joint, by means of which the bearing parts of the ball joint can be braced against each other and clamped, so that they are then blocked against pivoting. With the help of the ball joint and the locking device, the table can also be placed on a sloping and / or uneven ground, such as in the garden, in each case so that the table top is arranged in a horizontal plane. Thus, objects that are placed on the table, such as champagne glasses or beverage bottles, not so easily overturn. However, the table has the disadvantage that the handling of the locking device is still relatively cumbersome, because the locking screw is located under the table near the base, where it is difficult to access for the user of the table. Although an extension rod can be screwed onto the locking screw, which has a handle for actuating the locking screw at its end remote from the locking screw. However, the extension bar is rather annoying to the users of the table, because it protrudes laterally in the position of use at an angle of 45 ° from the table leg, so that a person sitting at the table, with the legs of the extension rod can abut. In this case, objects that are parked on the table top, overturn and / or fall to the ground. Unfavorable is also that the operation of the relatively small handle requires a considerable effort. However, if the locking screw is not tightened enough, the table top can tilt uncontrollably, with objects parked on it can also tip over and / or fall.

Es besteht deshalb die Aufgabe, einen Tisch der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, bei dem die Tischplatte auch auf einem schrägen Untergrund auf einfache Weise in Horizontalrichtung ausgerichtet und fixiert werden kann.It is therefore an object to provide a table of the type mentioned, in which the table top can be aligned and fixed on a sloping ground in a simple manner in the horizontal direction.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass die Tischplatte um eine etwa normal zu ihrer Plattenebene verlaufenden Drehachse verdrehbar mit dem Standfuß verbunden ist und derart mit der Arretierungseinrichtung in Antriebsverbindung steht, das die Arretierungseinrichtung durch Verdrehen der Tischplatte um die Drehachse zwischen der Offen- und der Schließstellung verstellbar ist.This object is achieved in that the table top is connected about an approximately normal to its plane extending axis of rotation rotatably connected to the base and is so in driving connection with the locking device, the locking device by rotating the table top about the rotation axis between the open and Closed position is adjustable.

Die Arretierungseinrichtung kann also auf einfache Weise durch Verdrehen der Tischplatte betätigt werden. Zum Ausrichten der Tischplatte wird die Arretierungseinrichtung zunächst durch Verdrehen der Tischplatte in eine erste Drehrichtung gelöst. Dann wird die Tischplatte in Horizontallage positioniert, indem die Tischplatte relativ zum Standfuß verkippt wird. Anschließend wird die Arretierungseinrichtung durch Verdrehen der Tischplatte in eine zu der ersten Drehrichtung entgegengesetzte zweite Drehrichtung in der zuvor eingestellten Lage fixiert. Da die Tischplatte einen relativ großen Durchmesser hat, kann das zum Lösen und Festziehen der Arretierungseinrichtung benötigte Drehmoment vom Benutzer des Tisches mit geringem Kraftaufwand aufgebracht werden. Die Tischplatte kann also auf einfache Weise horizontal ausgerichtet werden, wenn der Tisch beispielsweise auf schrägem Untergrund aufgestellt wird. Um ein Verkippen des Standfußes zu vermeiden, liegt dieser bevorzugt an drei in quer zueinander verlaufenden Richtungen voneinander beabstandeten Stellen am Erdboden auf Der Standfuß ist bevorzugt als Dreibein ausgestaltet.The locking device can thus be operated in a simple manner by turning the table top. For aligning the table top, the locking device is first released by turning the table top in a first direction of rotation. Then the table top is positioned in horizontal position by the table top is tilted relative to the stand. Subsequently, the locking device is fixed by rotating the table top in a direction opposite to the first direction of rotation second direction of rotation in the previously set position. Since the table top has a relatively large diameter, the torque required to release and tighten the locking device can be applied by the user of the table with little effort. The table top can thus be aligned horizontally in a simple manner, if the table is placed, for example, on an inclined surface. In order to avoid tilting of the base, this is preferably located on three spaced-apart in transverse directions from each other points on the ground on the base is preferably configured as a tripod.

Bei einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist der Arretierungseinrichtung ein Sperrelement zugeordnet, das in eine Freigabe- und eine Sperrstellung bringbar ist und derart mit der Arretierungseinrichtung zusammenwirkt, dass diese in der Freigabestellung zwischen der Offen- und der Schließstellung verstellbar ist, wobei in der Sperrstellung das Verstellen der Arretierungseinrichtung blockiert ist. In Sperrstellung wird dann ein versehentliches Lösen der Arretierungseinrichtung und ein damit einhergehendes unkontrolliertes Verkippen der Tischplatte zuverlässig vermieden.In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the locking device is associated with a blocking element which can be brought into a release and a blocking position and cooperates with the locking device such that it is adjustable in the release position between the open and the closed position, wherein in the locked position Adjusting the locking device is blocked. In blocking position then accidental release of the locking device and a concomitant uncontrolled tilting of the table top is reliably avoided.

Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist das Schwenkgelenk zwischen dem Tischbein und dem Standfuß angeordnet. Durch Verstellen des Schwenkgelenks können dann sowohl die Tischplatte als auch das Tischbein gerade ausgerichtet werden.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the pivot joint between the table leg and the base is arranged. By adjusting the pivot joint then both the table top and the table leg can be aligned straight.

Vorzugsweise ist das Schwenkgelenk um mindestens zwei quer zueinander verlaufende Schwenkachsen relativ zum Standfuß verschwenkbar und insbesondere als Kugelgelenk ausgestaltet. Die Tischplatte kann dann noch einfacher und genauer horizontal ausgerichtet werden.Preferably, the pivot joint is pivotable about at least two pivot axes extending transversely to each other relative to the pedestal and in particular designed as a ball joint. The tabletop can then be even easier and more accurately aligned horizontally.

Bei einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung weist das Schwenklager ein erstes, mit dem Standfuß verbundenes Lagerteil und ein relativ dazu verschwenkbares, mit dem Tischbein verbundenes Lagerteil auf, wobei die Arretierungseinrichtung einen Gelenkspannmechanismus mit einem ersten Spannelement und einem zweiten Spannelement aufweist, wobei das erste Spannelement und das zweite Spannelement über eine zur Drehachse der Tischplatte konzentrische Gewindeverschraubung miteinander verschraubt sind, wobei das erste Spannelement an einer ersten Widerlagerstelle mit dem ersten Lagerteil und das zweite Spannelement an einer zweiten Widerlagerstelle mit der Tischplatte verbunden sind, und wobei die Widerlagerstellen derart angeordnet sind, dass eine gerade Verbindungslinie zwischen der ersten Widerlagerstelle und/oder dem Flächenschwerpunkt der ersten Widerlagerstelle und der zweiten Widerlagerstelle und/oder dem Flächenschwerpunkt der zweiten Widerlagerstelle die mindestens eine Schwenkachse schneidet. Die Arretierungseinrichtung ermöglicht dann einen einfachen und kostengünstigen Aufbau.In a development of the invention, the pivot bearing has a first bearing part connected to the pedestal and a bearing part pivotable relative to the table leg, the locking device having a hinge clamping mechanism with a first clamping element and a second clamping element, wherein the first clamping element and the second clamping element are screwed together via a concentric with the axis of rotation of the table top threaded connection, wherein the first clamping element are connected at a first abutment point with the first bearing part and the second clamping element at a second abutment point with the table top, and wherein the abutment points are arranged such that a straight line connecting the first abutment site and / or the centroid of the first abutment site and the second abutment site and / or the centroid of the second abutment site the at least one pivot axis schnei det. The locking device then allows a simple and inexpensive construction.

Vorteilhaft ist, wenn das erste Lagerteil und das zweite Lagerteil Öffnungen aufweisen und wenn der Gelenkspannmechanismus durch diese Öffnungen hindurchgeführt ist. Die Arretierungseinrichtung ermöglicht dann besonders kompakte Abmessungen.It is advantageous if the first bearing part and the second bearing part have openings and when the joint clamping mechanism is passed through these openings. The locking device then allows particularly compact dimensions.

Bei einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist das Tischbein als Standrohr mit einer Innenhöhlung ausgestaltet, wobei der Gelenkspannmechanismus durch diese Innenhöhlung hindurchgeführt ist. Der im Standrohr angeordnete Gelenkspannmechanismus ist dann für den Benutzer des Tisches nicht sichtbar.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the table leg is designed as a standpipe with an inner cavity, wherein the joint clamping mechanism is passed through this inner cavity. The arranged in the standpipe joint tensioning mechanism is then not visible to the user of the table.

Bei einer zweckmäßigen Ausführungsform der Erfindung sind das erste Lagerteil als Lagerschale mit einer dem zweiten Lagerteil zugewandten kugeligen Außenfläche und einer dem zweiten Lagerteil abgewandten kugeligen Innenfläche ausgestaltet, wobei das zweite Lagerteil eine flächig an der Außenfläche anliegende Lagerpanne ist, wobei das erste Spannelement eine Mutter und das zweite Spannelement ein damit verschraubter Gewindestab ist, und wobei die Mutter eine kugelige Außenmantelfläche aufweist, die an der Innenfläche des ersten Lagerteils flächig zur Anlage kommt. Dabei ist es sogar möglich, dass die aneinander anliegenden Flächen der Lagerteile mit einem Reibbelag versehen sind oder eine entsprechende Oberflächenstruktur aufweisen.In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the first bearing part as a bearing shell with the second bearing part facing spherical outer surface and the second bearing part facing away spherical inner surface configured, wherein the second bearing part is a flat on the outer surface bearing bearing, wherein the first clamping element is a nut and the second clamping element is a threaded rod screwed thereto, and wherein the nut has a spherical outer lateral surface which comes to bear against the inner surface of the first bearing part flat. It is even possible that the adjoining surfaces of the bearing parts are provided with a friction lining or have a corresponding surface structure.

Der Gelenkspannmechanismus weist bevorzugt eine Einrichtung zur akustischen und/oder optischen Anzeige eines beim Verdrehen der Tischplatte um die Drehachse auf den Gelenkspannmechanismus einwirkenden Drehmoments auf. Eine derartige Anzeige ist dem Fachmann von Drehmomentschlüsseln bekannt. Sie ermöglicht es, die Gewindeverschraubung des Gelenkspannmechanismus auf einfache Weise mit einer vorbestimmten Spannkraft anzuziehen und somit die Lagerteile des Schwenkgelenks sicher in einer vorbestimmten Lage relativ zueinander zu flxieren.The joint tensioning mechanism preferably has a device for acoustically and / or optically displaying a torque acting on the joint tensioning mechanism when the table top is rotated about the axis of rotation. Such a display is known to those skilled in torque wrenches. It makes it possible to tighten the threaded connection of the joint-tensioning mechanism in a simple manner with a predetermined tensioning force and thus securely flattening the bearing parts of the pivoting joint in a predetermined position relative to each other.

Vorteilhaft ist, wenn die Tischplatte an ihrer Unterseite eine Lagerhülse aufweist, die an dem Tischbein drehbar gelagert ist. Somit ergibt sich ein kostengünstiges und robustes Drehlager, mittels dem die Tischplatte um die Längsmittelsachse des Standrohrs verdrehbar ist.It is advantageous if the table top has on its underside a bearing sleeve which is rotatably mounted on the table leg. This results in a cost-effective and robust pivot bearing, by means of which the table top is rotatable about the longitudinal center axis of the standpipe.

Zweckmäßigerweise ist in die Oberseite der Tischplatte eine Libelle einer Wasserwaage eingelassen. Die Tischplatte kann dann noch präziser in Horizontallage ausgerichtet werden.Conveniently, a dragonfly a spirit level is inserted in the top of the table top. The table top can then be aligned more precisely in the horizontal position.

Bei einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist die Tischplatte um eine etwa quer zur Längserstreckung des Tischbeins angeordnete Kippachse zwischen einer Gebrauchsstellung und einer Ruhestellung verkippbar mit dem Standfuß verbunden und zumindest in der Gebrauchsstellung bezüglich der Kippbewegung arretierbar. Der Tisch kann dann bei in Ruhestellung befindlicher Tischplatte platzsparend gelagert werden.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the table top is connected about an approximately transversely to the longitudinal extent of the table leg tilt axis between a use position and a rest position tilted connected to the base and lockable at least in the position of use with respect to the tilting movement.
