Definitions

  • the present invention generally relates to the field of tables of the type which comprises a table top and a table stand with a supporting body, wherein the table top is supported by at least a first surface of the supporting body. More specifically, the present invention relates to an arrangement for attaching at least one accessory to such a table.
  • the present invention also relates to a table comprising such an arrangement.
  • EP-2 926 688-A1 discloses a table according to the above, where the table stand is collapsible and power-driven.
  • the present invention may however be applied to table stands of any general kind, be they collapsible or not collapsible, and power- driven or not power driven.
  • EP-2 926 688-A1 merely serves as an example of a table of the type which comprises a table top and a table stand with a supporting body, wherein the table top is supported by at least a first surface of the supporting body.
  • An office desk is one common example of a table according to the above.
  • accessories may, without limitation, include a cable trays, desktop screens and computer cabinet holders.
  • such an accessory has typically been attached to the table top, making use of the typical material thereof such as wood, plastic or a composite material, all being suitable for anchoring of the accessory by means of for instance screws. If more than one accessory were to be attached to the table, then each such accessory was mounted independently of each other to the table top, therefore requiring its own attachment interface in the form of screws, holders, brackets, etc.
  • the prior art may require that the table top is first mounted to the table stand, before the accessory can be mounted to the table top. This is typically the case for approaches where the accessory is attached to the table top.
  • the required mounting order may instead be first the accessory and then the table top.
  • Another potential drawback is that parts of the attachment interface for the accessory (e.g. screws, holders, brackets, etc) may be readily visible from a typical working position and/or to standing visitors, thereby causing visual disturbance.
  • parts of the attachment interface for the accessory e.g. screws, holders, brackets, etc
  • One aspect of the present invention is an arrangement for attaching at least one accessory to a table of the type which comprises a table top and a table stand with a supporting body, the table top being supported by at least a first surface of the supporting body.
  • the arrangement comprises an accessory holder for said at least one accessory.
  • the arrangement also comprises one or more engagement members provided on a second surface of the supporting body of said table stand, said second surface facing in a direction different from a direction in which the supporting body supports the table top, said one or more engagement members being adapted for attaching the accessory holder to the supporting body of the table stand.
  • the arrangement comprises anchoring means for anchoring the accessory holder to the supporting body of the table stand.
  • the first surface of the support body faces upwards towards an underside of the table top and the second surface of the support body faces downwards towards the floor or ground.
  • the first surface and the second surface of the support body are opposing top and bottom sides of a plate-shaped structure of the supporting body.
  • An arrangement according to this aspect of the present invention solves or at least mitigates one or more of the problems or drawbacks identified in the background section above.
  • Another aspect of the present invention is a table which comprises a table stand, a table top mounted on top of the table stand, and an arrangement according to the abovementioned aspect of the present invention for attaching at least one accessory.

  • FIGs 32-48 An arrangement for attaching at least one accessory to a table, such as table 3, will now be described throughout this document with particular (but still non-limiting and exemplifying) reference to FIGs 32-48. Examples of such accessories are shown at 160, 164, 166 and 168 in FIGs 32-48.
  • the arrangement comprises an accessory holder for said at least one accessory (e.g. 160, 164, 166, 168).

  • anchoring means are seen at 150, 153, 154-155, 156-157, 158 in FIGs 32-48.
  • This arrangement has an advantage in that it allows convenient attachment of the accessory (e.g. 160, 164, 166, 168) to the table 3, even with the table top 2 in place on top of the supporting body 10.
  • the order of assembly for the table 1 is not restricted to an order where the accessory will necessarily first have to be attached to the table 3 before mounting of the table top 2, or where the table top 2 will necessarily first have to be mounted to the table stand.
  • the order of assembly is not restricted in this respect. Also, the
  • the accessory will be attached, through the accessory holder, to the table stand 1 rather than directly to the table top 2. Hence, no invasive or other modifying actions will have to be taken on the table top 2.
  • the table stand 1 may preferably be made in a stronger material, such as metal, than the table top 2 (e.g. wood, plastic or composite material), the arrangement may provide for an improvement in strength for the attachment of the accessory to the table compared to the prior art.
  • the second surface of the support body 10 is oriented in a plane which is different from a plane in which the first surface of the support body 10 is oriented.
  • the second surface of the support body 10 is oriented in a plane which is rotated in about 180 degrees with respect to a plane in which the first surface of the support body 10 is oriented.
  • the first surface of the support body 10 will face upwards towards an underside of the table top 2.
  • the second surface of the support body 10 then advantageously faces downwards towards the floor or ground.
  • Examples of the first, upwardly facing surface of the support body 10 are seen at 131, 13 in FIGs 32-48, its normal direction being indicated by a first arrow 13 In in Fig 41.
  • Examples of the second, downwardly facing surface of the support body 10 are seen at 132, 132' in FIGs 32-48, its normal direction being indicated by a second arrow 132n in Fig 41.
  • the second surface (e.g. 132, 132') of the support body 10 faces in the opposite direction, i.e. vertically downwards, compared to the first surface (e.g. 131, 13 ) of the support body 10, there will be an advantage in mechanical strength both from the fact that the accessory is attached to the table stand 2 and not to the table top 1, and from the fact that the load on the engagement members on the second surface caused by an attached accessory will act in the direction of gravity - large bending torques on the second surface caused by a heavy accessory may therefore be avoided or reduced.
  • the orientation of the second surface with its engagement members facing vertically downwards may also make for instance the anchoring means less visible from a typical working position or to standing visitors, thereby avoiding visual disturbance.
