Description

Table with electromagnetic protection.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a table with electromagnetic protection, designed to prevent discharges electrostatics, induced voltages and electromagnetic fields and against microtraumas caused by pressure and mechanical contacts repeated, intended to protect people in any field, either occupational or residential and, especially, against the disorder of semicircular lipoatrophy.

Field of the Invention

This table with electromagnetic protection is intended for the protection of people in offices and others places, where they are exposed to electromagnetic fields, induced voltages or the effects of cables and electronic devices, static electricity, microtraumas caused by pressure and contact mechanic that are related to the pathology called lipoatrophy semicircular.

Background of the invention

Commonly, a table is constituted by a noticeably flat board and suitable legs or support fixed in its lower part, for its support at a certain height, superiorly defining a work surface, or useful for deposit miscellaneous items. These tables can be built with various rigid and resistant materials, such as metal, wood or plastic materials.

The arrangement of electrical appliances and electronic operating on tables in general results in the appearance of electromagnetic fields and induced voltages, being able to affect the user's organism, especially if they remain Long time in its proximity. Tables with metal parts absorb electromagnetic fields and transform them into a tension. This voltage induced by electromagnetic fields it can pass to the worker's body in his contact with the table. Y the non-metallic part of the table lets the fields through Electromagnetic devices to the user's body. So these electromagnetic fields and induced voltages cause certain ailments and discomforts, such as semicircular lipoatrophy, which consists of injuries that affect users and workers in office, home, school and other work environments areas in which the aforementioned large number of devices exist Electrical and electronic Although it has not been verified sure, said disorder is largely attributed to the fields electromagnetic and induced voltages produced by nearby electronics and power cords and telecommunications

For example, the existence in a table of office of a computer, its peripherals, printers, faxes, Photocopiers and others are reasons that favor the appearance of these disorders

Description of the invention

The table with electromagnetic protection, object of the present invention, it presents some technical peculiarities unique oriented to drastically reduce the effects on people in the electromagnetic fields, the induced voltage of the appliances and cables, electrostatic discharges and microtraumas caused by pressure and mechanical contact; providing the user with greater security and protection during The use of the table.

This table is constituted from a base structure with a substantially flat board and legs fixed at the bottom, all made of a material not metallic and antistatic, for example of wood or derivatives, and essentially characterized because the board is interspersed inwardly certain materials that act as a layer of electromagnetic shielding. Said shielding layer electromagnetic, composed of a network or grid of fibers or electrically conductive wires, or conductive metal tapes of high degree of shielding, provides a high shielding against electromagnetic fields and voltages induced by conductors and electrical devices and electronics present in the workplace or in any other ambit.

According to the invention, the table comprises, on one of the rear legs, a gutter with shield electromagnetic for the passage of cables to the external surface of table. This way the cables do not generate fields electromagnetic and the voltage induced by them on other materials, and are also collected and away from Username.

According to the invention, on the surface or tabletop is arranged a socket base located adjacent to the upper end of said cable duct. This plug base is electromagnetically shielded to avoid generating induced voltage.

In a prototype of the invention, the contour or edge of the tabletop presents a protection of a material not rigid or padded, whose purpose is to provide a touch padded or fluffy and reduce the risk that people can suffer from micro trauma due to repeated contact against said contour or board edge.

Description of the figures

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to facilitate the understanding of characteristics of the invention, is attached herein descriptive a set of drawings in which, for illustrative purposes and not limiting, the following has been represented:

- Figure 1 shows a perspective view of the table with electromagnetic protection of the invention.

- Figure 2 shows a detail of the section of the tabletop.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

As can be seen in the figures referenced, the table with electromagnetic protection comprises a board (1) noticeably flat, rectangular contour and made in wood, which has four legs in its lower part (2) noticeably vertical, displaced towards the ends and also made of wood.

The board (1) presents, inserted in its structure, an electromagnetic shielding layer (3) formed by a network of electrically conductive fibers. In the surrounding contour of the board (1) is a protection (4) of a padded material to avoid microtrauma and contact pressures to users.

On an outer side of one of the legs (2) you is arranged a longitudinal channel (5) with electromagnetic shielding from the lower end to the top of the board (1) for the passage of cables to a base of shielded plugs (6), arranged in the upper rear area of the board (1) and adjacent to the gutter (5), to prolong the electromagnetic protection

Once nature is sufficiently described of the invention, as well as a preferred embodiment, for the appropriate purposes that the materials, form, size and arrangement of the elements described may be modified, as long as this does not imply an alteration of the essential features of the invention claimed in continuation.

Claims (3)
