Description

Technical area

The invention relates to a furniture composition according to the preamble of independent claim 1 and a separation. The invention can be used in particular in the field of office, laboratory and workshop furniture in particular as a desk composition application.

State of the art

Height-adjustable workplaces, especially desks, have been known for some time. Due to the possibility of a worktop of the workplace in height, i. in the vertical direction, the workplace can be optimally adapted to a body size of a person working on it, which can be an important prerequisite for an ergonomic and in particular spine and back-friendly working posture.

While in the past height adjustability was often only possible to a relatively limited extent in order to be able to compensate for differences in the statistically relatively small standard deviation of the height of seated adult persons, nowadays workplaces, in particular desks, with extended height adjustability, which, if required, work in the home Standing allow, great popularity. Since prolonged working while standing can be perceived as unpleasant and / or tiring, it is important that a quick and uncomplicated adjustability between heights of the worktop, which are suitable for working while standing and those which are suitable for working in the Sitting are suitable, possible. In particular, a frequent adjustment of the vertical position should be easily possible.

At the same time, in order to optimally exploit office space and / or exploit synergies, workplaces are often arranged in groups. In this case, two workstations can be provided opposite one another, side by side or adjacent to one another in such table compositions. The respective worktops can be arranged adjacent to each other, each with a broad side or a longitudinal side or a first worktop can be arranged with a broad side adjacent to a longitudinal side of a second worktop. Even in the case of such workplaces arranged in groups, it may be important for the abovementioned reasons that the individual workstations can be individually adjusted in height.

In order to enable a low-interference and concentrated work in table compositions or workplace compositions, it is also known to provide separation between the workplaces. Such separations can serve, inter alia, the privacy or the acoustic protection. They can also help separate jobs and prevent objects from falling to one another's workplace or in between.

This occurs in table compositions with individually height-adjustable Arbeitsbeziehungsweise table tops, the problem that the separation is not adapted to the respective height adjustment of adjacent countertops. For example, relatively large partitions or partitions between the worktops are often provided which shield the workstations of each other in each height adjustment of adjacent countertops. In particular, a fixed vertically extending partition is typically provided, which is for example mounted on a support frame for one of the two worktops, in particular a table frame, or placed on the floor. For such separation to be effective over the entire range of height adjustability of workplaces, it must extend vertically at least to a height suitable for a maximum countertop height. However, the separation then projects vertically beyond the worktops when they are in positions near a lower height setting. If necessary, this can be a cross-workplace collaboration prevent and may also be partially confined, annoying or visually perceived as not appealing.

Alternatively, it is known to provide each partitions on the individual worktops, which are adjusted together with a height adjustment with the workplace in height. While such separations may be perceived as more comfortable than the partitions described above, they typically do not provide adequate shielding in any height adjustment of two adjacent countertops. For example, can often be avoided in such separations that at very different heights of the worktops of the area under the worktop is visible.

Against this background, it is an object of the invention to propose a furniture composition that is simple in construction, is flexible in terms of height-adjustable worktops and allows an adapted separation of workstations.

Presentation of the invention

These and other objects are achieved by a furniture composition as defined in independent claim 1 and by a partition for a furniture composition as defined in independent claim 15. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in the dependent claims.

The invention proposes a furniture composition, which may in particular be a multi-person workstation such as a desk composition. The furniture composition comprises a first workstation with a first, adjustable in a vertical direction worktop, a second workstation with a second independently adjustable from the first worktop in the vertical direction worktop and a height-adjustable or adjustable with respect to the vertical direction partition, which are in the vertical direction extending between the first and the second workplace is arranged. At least one first support element is provided on the first worktop, by means of which the separation is typically supportable in the vertical direction. At the second Worktop is provided at least a second support element by means of which the separation is typically supported in the vertical direction.

The term "vertical direction" may refer here in particular to a vertical direction, that is, a direction downward or upward. In this case, deviations from an exactly perpendicular position of the direction can also be included. The vertical direction can therefore be virtually perpendicular.

The term "countertop" may in the context of the invention refer to a plate-shaped element on which an activity is carried out. In particular, the worktop can be a table top. In many applications such worktops have a horizontal surface. The worktops can also be tilted or arranged obliquely.

The furniture composition can also have more than two workplaces, each with additional worktops. Accordingly, other support elements and separations may be provided which separate these other jobs.

The support members may be of any shape that allows them to support the partition in certain situations and in other situations be detached from the partition. In this case, the support elements may each also be designed in several parts, for example, to achieve a uniform support of the separation. The term "bracing" in this context may refer to carrying, pulling out, holding against a spring force or gravity or something similar. In particular, the support may refer to determining a vertical location of the separation. Thus, in each case, the support element, which supports the separation in a particular situation just define their vertical position.

The support elements may be arranged on the associated worktop in particular so that they are fixedly connected thereto. As a result, the position or height of the worktop can determine the vertical position of the associated support element, which in turn can in certain situations define the vertical position of the separation.

The term "separation" in the context of the invention may refer to a construction that makes it possible to work adjacent to it separate from each other. It can serve, for example, as - for example, at least largely opaque - visual protection, for sound insulation, as - for example, at least partially transparent - splash guard, as a design element or for similar purposes. The partition may comprise a rigid plate such as a soundproofing element, a wooden plate, a sheet of compressed fiber material or a similar plate. Alternatively or additionally, it may comprise a typically stretched textile or other flexible material.

By providing on each worktop a support element by means of which the height-adjustable partition can be supported in the vertical direction, it is possible to have a suitable or optimal height and / or a suitable or optimal vertical position of the separation independent of absolute and relative vertical positions of the first and second worktop. This can also allow the separation depending on the height of the worktops to each other alternatively supported or supported by one or the other support member, so that the vertical position or position of the separation is determined by the respective supporting support element. This allows a flexible, to the respective height adjustment of the worktops matched positioning of the separation. Thus, with a single separation optimal demarcation of jobs can be achieved.

Preferably, the furniture composition is configured such that the first support member supports the partition when the first worktop is above the second worktop and the second support member supports the divider when the second worktop is above the first worktop.

In this context, the term "above" refers to situations in which the two worktops have different vertical positions or lie at different heights. The higher worktop is then above the other worktop in this situation.

This makes it possible that the separation is supported or supported in each case by the support element of that worktop, which is located in a higher vertical position. A support of the separation by the one or more support elements of that worktop, which in a lower vertical position of the two worktops is not required. In this way, always the higher worktop determine the vertical position of the separation, which leads to an adjusted to the altitude of the worktops positioning positioning of the separation. The separation can always be adapted automatically to the respective situation.

Preferably, the first support member does not support the separation when the first work surface is below the second work surface and the second support element does not support the separation when the second work surface is below the first work surface.

The term "below" may refer in this context to situations in which the two worktops have different vertical positions or lie at different heights. The lower worktop is therefore below the other worktop in this situation.

Such an embodiment of furniture composition allows the separation is always supported only by the support element of one of the two worktops. The other support element is then detached from the separation. Advantageously, the two support elements are designed such that the separation is transferred from one support element to the other support element when the two worktops move past each other in the vertical direction. For example, in a first position, the first worktop can be arranged above the second, so that the first support element supports the separation and the second support element is not. As the first worktop is lowered, the divider is lowered until the first worktop is at the same height as the second worktop. In a further lowering of the first worktop, the separation is transferred from the first support member to the second support member. Once the first worktop is below the second, the divider is then supported by the second support member rather than the first one.

Preferably, the first support member of the first worktop and the second support member of the second worktop are each adapted to support the partition. Such support may be a simple and efficient form of support in many applications, and particularly in connection with many types of partitions. For example, such a rigid plate of the separation respectively be worn by one of the support elements. For this purpose, the support element, for example, take the plate from below. Or, as described in more detail below, the support members may carry such a member of a partition, by means of which a cover can be held or pulled out.

In this case, the first support element of the first work surface and the second support element of the second work surface preferably each comprise an upwardly open shell, which is designed to accommodate the separation. Such a shell can easily enable a stable support of the separation. In addition, it can allow an efficient and easy transfer of the separation between the two support elements. In particular, the shell may be a semi-shell, the inside of which is adapted to the shape of the outside of the part of the partition on which the shell supports the separation. For example, the shell may have the shape of a hollow cylinder half, if the separation has a round rod or another cylindrical part.

In a preferred embodiment of the furniture composition, the first support element of the first worktop is adapted to lift the separation, when the first worktop is adjusted, for example, from a position below the second worktop to a position above the second worktop. The second support element of the second worktop is designed to lift the separation when the second worktop is adjusted, for example, from a position below the first worktop to a position above the first worktop.

It can thereby be achieved that a height adjustment of the separation during an adjustment of one or both worktops in the vertical direction adapts without further action to the positions of the worktops. This allows a comfortable and efficient setting of the separation depending on the height adjustment of the worktops.

In a preferred embodiment, the partition is designed as a pull-out partition, wherein it is at least partially retractable in a storage space which is provided below the first and / or second worktop. In this case, at least one gripping element is preferably provided on the partition, by means of which the partition can be pulled out of the stowage space in the vertical direction, and each of the first and second support members is engageable with at least one of the at least one handle members to extract the partition vertically from the storage space upon height adjustment of the associated work surface.

The design of the separation as a retractable and at least partially retractable in a storage compartment separation is made possible to remove them in situations where the presence of a separation is not desired in a straightforward way and stowed. Further, a vertical dimension of the partition or a part thereof can be adjusted so that it extends in particular in a vertical range between a higher and a lower vertical position of the two worktops, regardless of absolute and relative vertical positions of the first and second worktop.

The storage space can optionally be designed as an open or at least partially enclosed volume from several sides, which has at least one opening through which the separation can be pulled out. An expansion of the storage space in the vertical direction is also preferably limited to an area below a lowest position of the worktops. Thus, the storage space can be provided safely and smoothly in the furniture composition.

In this case, the first support element is preferably arranged on the first work surface such that it engages with at least one of the at least one gripping elements in order to pull the separation out of the storage space in a vertical direction when the first work surface is moved from below to above the second work surface and the second support member is preferably disposed on the second work surface so as to engage at least one of the at least one handle members to extract the partition vertically from the storage space when the second work surface is moved from below to above the first work surface becomes. In this way, an efficient transfer of the separation in the manner described above with the extendable separation can be implemented.

Preferably, the furniture composition comprises a common support frame or in particular a table frame, on which the two worktops are mounted independently adjustable in the vertical direction. Such a support frame can enable an efficient realization and handling of the furniture composition. Also, with an extendable partition, the jam volume can be efficiently integrated into or with the common support frame. Alternatively, a separate support frame may be provided for each of the worktops, wherein the two support frames are preferably releasably fixed to each other.

In a preferred embodiment of the inventive furniture composition, the separation is designed such that it extends in a vertical direction in an area above the higher of the two worktops, in particular protrudes at least 30cm or at least 50cm on the higher of the two worktops. As a result, for example, a sound and privacy protection can be provided in an area in which this is particularly desired. In particular, this area can cover the upper body and the head of a person working in the workplace.

For separations with rigid plates, such an increase can be achieved by a suitable design of the plate. For example, a grip element may be arranged below an upper edge of the partition, in particular at a vertical distance of at least 30 cm, preferably at least 50 cm. Alternatively, a handle element may also be formed or provided on a lower edge of the partition, wherein it may be integrated in particular in the separation or may be an integral part of the separation.

In a preferred embodiment, the furniture composition comprises a preferably rigid elevation element, which is detachably connectable to the first support element and the separation or with the second support member and the separation that the separation above the first worktop ends when the first support element via the separation supports the elevation element, and that the separation ends above the second worktop when the second support member supports the separation via the elevation member. In particular, the elevation element may be substantially elongated, for example in the form of an elevation arm. The elevation element makes it possible to fix or support the upper edge of the partition in a vertical position above the corresponding worktop. The elevation element can, so to speak serve as a vertical extension of that support member which supports the separation. By being releasably connectable with the partition and the support members, the elevation member can be selectively attached or removed. As a result, depending on the situation, the separation from the associated worktop may end or may be pulled upwards beyond it. The term "connectable" in this context refers in particular to a compound which is sufficient for stabilizing or for holding the separation by the first or second support element. In this case, the connection with the separation can be realized, for example, by plugging or clamping or the like, and the connection with the support elements via laying on or pinching or the like.

The elevating member preferably extends substantially vertically, and in an area of a lower end of the elevating member, an alternative grip member is formed or alternatively engageable with the first supporting member or the second supporting member to support the partition in the vertical direction , Such an embodiment of the elevation element with an alternative grip element enables an efficient transfer of the elevation element and the separation associated therewith from one support element to the other support element. In particular, such a transfer can be made as described above, when a countertop is increased vertically past the other countertop. So it can be ensured that the separation always ends above the higher of the two worktops and thus an adapted to each situation protection is available. For example, the separation may end at least about 30 cm or at least about 50 cm above the upper worktop. In this case, the elevation element may have a corresponding vertical extent of approximately at least 30 cm or at least approximately 50 cm.

Advantageously, the elevation element can be equipped with a connecting element, via which it can be connected to the respective support element. The connecting element can be designed as a receptacle for a provided on the separation handle element. This makes it possible to use the separation optionally with or without elevation element, and thus adapt it to a current work situation.

In a preferred embodiment of the furniture composition, the partition comprises a roller blind with an extendible and / or unrollable part and in particular a pull-out and / or unrollable material web. The roller blind may have a roller blind box, which is provided or mounted in an area below the first and / or second worktop, typically in a storage space. The storage space can be formed in particular by a roller blind box. When not in use, the extendible or unrollable part can be withdrawn or pushed back into the area below the first and / or second worktop and / or rolled up there or the like. In particular, the material web can be resiliently rolled up in the roller blind box, so that it must be pulled against the spring force from the roller blind box. As a result, the material web can always be rolled out in an adapted measure and the remaining part of the material web is supplied cleanly in the roller blind box.

The extendable or unrollable part of the roller blind preferably comprises a web of at least partially flexible material, in particular of a fabric and / or a film which is attached at a first end to a rotatably mounted shaft or shaft and by rotation of the axis thereof at least partially can be rolled up. At a first end opposite the second end, which forms an outer longitudinal end of the extendable or unrollable part, a clamping bar is preferably attached to the web. By pulling on the web or material web, in particular on the clamping bar, it can thus be unrolled from the axis or shaft. Preferably, the axle or shaft is mounted in a housing in which an opening is provided through which the web is led out of said housing. Preferably, the axle or shaft is biased, for example by means of a spring such that the web is unrolled without further action on the axis or shaft, if no pulling on the clamping bar, wherein the web is at least partially stowed in the housing.

The term "blind" may in this context thus refer to a device in which the web or web is wound on an axle or shaft. The shaft is typically arranged in the roller blind box and acted upon by a rotation spring. Depending on requirements, the material web can be pulled out of the roller blind box, wherein, contrary to the action of the rotary spring always a certain train must be maintained so that the material web is not rolled up again. This allows the blind to ensure that only such a large part of the web is unrolled, as it is needed.

Alternatively, the roller blind can also be designed as a roller blind and, as an extendable or unrollable part, in particular also comprise a web of at least partially flexible material, in particular a fabric and / or a film, which forms the separation in an extended position, and which for retraction the Faltrollo is partially folded back on itself.

Likewise, the roller blind can alternatively be designed as a sliding door and the extendable or unrolling part in particular comprise a plurality of fins, which are pulled apart when pulling out the sliding blind, and can be pushed together again when retracting the blinds.

The fact that the separation is formed by an extendable or unrollable part of a roller blind, these can be removed and stowed in a particularly uncomplicated way in situations where the presence of a separation is not desired. Also, with such a roller blind, the separation can be dimensioned efficiently and simply adapted to the heights of the worktops.

In this case, the roller blind preferably has a tensioning strip fastened to an outer longitudinal end of the extendible and / or unrollable part, which protrudes in the lateral direction over a width of the extendable and / or unrollable part, one of the two longitudinal ends projecting beyond the extendable and / or unrollable part the clamping bar in each case form a handle element. In this way, the grip elements can be implemented simply and conveniently.

The gripping element formed or provided on the elevating element and the at least one first supporting element provided on the first worktop and the at least one second supporting element provided on the second worktop can be configured such that the gripping element alternatively with the provided on the first worktop support member and at least the the second worktop provided support member is positively engageable engageable, preferably wherein the elevation member via the positive connection in a vertical Alignment held or at least supported. As a result, a vertical orientation of the separation is stabilized or predetermined, which is particularly advantageous if the separation is formed by an extendable or unrollable part of a roller blind.

In another embodiment of the furniture composition, the partition comprises an at least substantially rigid, flat element formed in particular a board or a plate of wood, plastic, a composite material or the like. It is also conceivable to form the separation of glass or Plexiglas. A frame covered with foil and / or fabric can also be used. The use of an at least substantially rigid, flat element for the separation allows a particularly simple and cost-effective production and represents a particularly störungsunanfällige construction.

Preferably, the at least one gripping element of the partition is alternatively connected either to the first support element of the first worktop or to the second support element of the second worktop.

Preferably, the separation is opaque. As a result, a frequently desired privacy screen can be provided, for example, above and below the worktops.

Preferably, the furniture composition is designed so that the separation depending on the altitude of the first worktop and the second worktop is supported alternately to each other from the first support member or the second support member, so that the vertical position of the separation is determined by the respective supporting support member. In other words, or an alternative formulation, the separation is preferably automatically transferable between the first support member and the second support member as the height of the first or second workbench changes so that it is preferably supported by the support member of the higher workbench. The worktop is therefore always supported by the higher table top and can unfold its effect from the upper relevant position.

Another aspect of the invention relates to a particular retrofittable partition for a furniture composition with a first workplace, the first, in a workstation adjustable in vertical direction, and a second work station comprising a second work surface which is independently adjustable in the vertical direction independently of the first work surface. The partition comprises a roller blind with a pull-out and / or roll-off part, in particular a pull-out material web and preferably a fabric web, for separating the first work station from the second work station, wherein the roller blind preferably has a clamping strip projecting in a lateral direction over a width of the material web, and at least two support members for attachment to each one of the first and second worktops of the furniture composition, wherein by means of the support elements, the material web of the blinds in a height adjustment of the worktops is extendable.

With such a separation furniture composition can be retrofitted efficiently. In this case, the separation can be equipped with the features described above in connection with the furniture composition according to the invention. Thus, the above-mentioned effects and advantages can be efficiently implemented.

Such a separation can also be provided in an analogous embodiment on a single workstation with a single, height-adjustable worktop or be. This can serve, for example, to effect a privacy screen or to prevent objects or the like from protruding into a height adjustment area or an area below the individual work surface. In particular, the shaft or axis of the roller blind or a housing of the roller blind with the shaft or axis on a support frame for the individual worktop, in particular a table frame, or on the ground in an area below the single worktop be mounted or attached. The extendable part may be supported or supported analogously to the embodiments described above and / or below or embodiments claimed below of at least one support element attached or attached to the individual work surface.

Alternatively, the shaft or axis of the roller blind or a housing of the roller blind with the shaft or axis of at least one attached to the individual worktop or support member supported or be supported, and the outer longitudinal end of the extendable part of the blinds or the web on the support frame for the single worktop or on the ground in a region below the single worktop mounted or fixed.

Another aspect of the invention thus relates to a workstation or individual workstation with a foot part, a vertically adjustable relative to the foot part work surface and a height-adjustable separation, the separation comprises a roller blind with a base unit and an extendable from the base material web, either a the base unit facing away from the end of the material web preferably detachably connected to the worktop and the base unit fixed to the foot part or the base unit are preferably releasably connected to the worktop and the base unit remote from the end of the web stationary with the foot part.

The basic unit of the roller blind may have a housing and in particular a shaft. The material web can be rolled up or rolled up onto the shaft. Further, the base unit may comprise a biasing structure such as a spring, with which the material web is rolled up onto the shaft.

The base unit facing away from the end of the web or the base unit can be releasably secured to an edge of the countertop. You can also be raised above the worktop, for example via a raised element connected to the worktop. The stationary connection with the foot part can be done for example by a direct fixed mounting on the foot part or an outgoing from this support frame. Or it can be done over a floor on which the foot part is placed.

With such a workplace can be achieved that an extension of the separation in the vertical direction is adjusted in an adjustment of a height of the worktop without further action. In particular, the material web can always be pulled out of the base as far as it corresponds to the current height adjustment of the worktop.

In connection with the above-described workplace or individual workplace, other aspects of the invention, as described above or below in connection with the inventive Furniture composition and the inventive separation are described, be realized. In particular, workplace or individual workplace can be equipped with further features of furniture composition, thereby realizing the corresponding effects and advantages.

Fig. 1 shows an embodiment of a novel furniture composition in a schematic representation. Fig. 2 shows a side view of the furniture composition Fig. 1 ,

The furniture composition comprises a first work station 1 and a second work station 2. In between, a partition 3 is provided which extends in a vertical direction 901 and in a first horizontal direction 902 orthogonal to the vertical direction 901 over almost an entire width of the first and second work stations 1, 2 extends. On a common table frame 4, which serves as a common support frame, a first, belonging to the first workstation 1 first worktop 11 and a second, second workplace 2 associated second worktop 21 are independently adjustable relative to a vertical direction 901 or height adjustable. The table frame 4 comprises telescopic legs, which are extendable and collapsible in the vertical direction.

The partition 3 comprises a roller blind with a vertically extendable panel 31. The panel 31 represents a pull-out and unrolling part of the blind. The roller blind further comprises a housing or a roller blind box 5 in which the panel 31 is wound onto a shaft. The shaft is with a rotation spring connected, which rotates the shaft so that the fabric is rolled up when it is not actively pulled. The roller blind box 5 is mounted on the table frame 4 below the first and second worktops 11, 21 and forms a storage space of the furniture composition. Thus, the storage space is also provided in an area below the two worktops 11, 12. As indicated, the panel 31 is rolled up or rolled up on the roller blind box 5 rotatably mounted in the roller blind box, wherein the axis is in the first horizontal direction 902 and is resiliently biased so that the panel 31 is automatically rolled up. The storage space is dimensioned and arranged so that it provides enough space when the fabric is completely rolled up. Nevertheless, it is limited to an area below a lowest adjustable position of the two worktops 11, 12. At one end of the panel 31, which faces away from the roller blind, a clamping bar 311 is attached. A length of the clamping bar 311 is dimensioned larger than a width of the panel 31, so that the clamping bar 311 laterally, ie in the first horizontal direction 902, on both sides beyond the panel 31 protrudes.

The ends of the clamping strip 311 projecting laterally beyond the panel 31 thus form a first gripping element 3111 and a second gripping element 3112 of the roller blind or the partition 3.

On the first worktop 11, a first support element with a first shell 111 and a second shell 112 are provided in the region of a rear edge facing the second worktop 12 which are positioned with respect to the first horizontal direction 902 so as to engage with the first and second handle elements 3111, 3112 of the clamping bar 311 engage or can be brought.

Similarly, a second support member having a first shell 211 and a second shell 212 are provided on the second work surface 12 in the region of a rear of the first work surface 11 facing edge thereof, which are also positioned with respect to the first horizontal direction 902 so that they the first and second handle member 3111, 3112 of the clamping bar 311 can be engaged or brought.

The first shell 111 of the first support member and the first shell 211 of the second support member are adjacent and with respect to the first horizontal direction 902 offset from each other. Likewise, the second shell 112 of the first support member and the second shell 212 of the second support member are positioned adjacent to each other and offset from each other with respect to the first horizontal direction 902.

If the panel 31 is completely rolled up in the blind box 5, it can be pulled out by pulling on the first and second handle member 3111, 3112 of the clamping bar 311 against the spring force and thereby at least partially unrolled from the axis. When the first worktop 11 and the second worktop 21 are in different vertical positions or at different heights, the first gripping element 3111 and the second gripping element 3112 of the clamping bar can rest on the shells 111, 112, 211, 212 of the support element of the upper of the two worktops be placed after the fabric 31 has been rolled far enough. If, as exemplified in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 can be seen, the first worktop 11 is located above the second worktop 21, the first handle member 3111 and the second handle member 3112 can be placed on the first shell 111 and the second shell 112 of the first support member. Thus, the first and second shells 111, 112 of the first support member support the partition 3 and support it vertically. The fabric panel 31 is stretched vertically between the clamping element 311 held by the first support element and the roller blind box. This separates the first job 1 from the second job.

Is based on the in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 shown position now moves the first worktop 11 upwards or against the vertical direction 901, the fabric 31 is further pulled out of the roller blind box 5 by the first support member on the clamping bar 311, so that a vertical dimension of the separation of a new height of the first worktop 11th adapts.

Is based on the in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 shown position, the first worktop 11, however, downwardly adjusted, the fabric 31 is rolled due to the resilient bias of the axis on this, so that the vertical dimension of the separation in turn the new height of the first worktop 11 adapts, as long as the first worktop 11 in a vertical Position above the second worktop 21 remains.

If the first work surface 11 is lowered further below the second work surface 21, the first and second shells 211, 212 of the second support element reach engage with the first handle member 3111 and the second handle member 3112 and prevent further rolling of the fabric sheet 31. The separation formed by the fabric 31 31 is no longer in this case in the vertical direction by the first support member of the first worktop 11, but by the second support element of the second worktop 21st

In the same way, the first shell 211 and the second shell 212 of the second support element engage with the first grip element 3111 and the second grip element 3112, respectively, when - starting from the in FIG Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 shown position - the second worktop 12 is raised upward to a vertical position above the first worktop 21. They pull the fabric 31 further out of the storage space 5 out. Also in this case, which is no longer supported by the fabric 31 and the clamping bar 311 in the vertical direction by the first support member.

Fig. 3 shows a schematic representation of the furniture composition Fig. 1 in a modified configuration. Fig. 4 shows a side view of the furniture composition Fig. 3 . Fig. 5 a detailed view too Fig. 3 ,

In the modified configuration of the Fig. 3 to 5 For example, a first elevation arm 321 as a first elevation member 321 and a second elevation arm 322 as a second elevation element are provided. The two raising arms 321, 322 are designed to fix an upper edge of the panel 31 of the partition 3 in a vertical position above that worktop 11, 21, which is in a higher position. In Fig. 3 This is the left first worktop 11. The two raising arms 321, 322 are configured at least substantially identical and have an at least substantially elongated or elongated shape and extend vertically. In the region of a first end of each of the raising arms 321, 322, a cylindrical bore is provided, which is dimensioned such that the raising arms 321, 322 are fitted onto the gripping elements 3111 or 3112 formed by the ends of the clamping strip 311 projecting laterally from the panel 31 can.

A second end of the first elevation arm 321 is formed as a first alternative grip element 3211, and a second end of the second elevation arm 322 is formed as a second alternative grip element 3221. As in Fig. 5 can be seen in detail are the alternative gripping elements 3211, 3221 at least substantially V-shaped or they have a V-shaped cross section in the vertical direction 901. The shells 111, 112, 211, 212 of the first and second support elements are correspondingly V-shaped. Thus, the shells 111, 112, 211, 212 are positively engaged with the elevating members 321, 322, the elevating members 321, 322 being fixed so as to extend in the vertical direction and secured against tilting from the vertical position.

Again Fig. 5 As can be clearly seen, the first shell 111 of the first support member and the first shell 211 of the second support member are spaced adjacent to each other. When passing the first and second worktops 11, 12 in the vertical direction, the two shells 111, 211 can be guided past each other as easily. At the same time, it can be ensured that always the upper shell 111, 211 carries the separation on the first grip element 3111 or, if appropriate, on the first alternative grip element 3211.
