L'objet de l'invention se rattache notamment au secteur technique du matériel pour écrire, dessiner... The object of the invention relates in particular to the technical sector of equipment for writing, drawing ...

On a voulu réaliser un poste de travail compact permettant de remplir différentes fonctions spécifiques tout en étant susceptible d'être adapté à la morphologie de n'importe quel utilisateur qu'il soit enfant ou adulte. Plus particulièrement, .ce poste de travail se veut une réponse aux besoins nouveaux et croissants de l'informatique tant sur un plan professionnel sur le lieu de travail, que sur un plan personnel à son domicile. We wanted to create a compact workstation allowing to fulfill different specific functions while being capable of being adapted to the morphology of any user, whether child or adult. More particularly, this workstation is intended to be a response to the new and growing needs of IT both on a professional level at the workplace and on a personal level at home.

Par sa conception technologique particulière, le poste de travail selon l'invention, permet de satisfaire l'emploi de matériels d'équipement les plus divers, parmi lesquels on peut citer à titre d'exemples indicatifs, les machines à écrire, les calculatrices, les appareils enregistreur , les écrans de lecture avec clavier de commande, les appareils à dessiner ... On conçoit que ces différents matériels ont des volumes variables qui nécessitent des positionnements d'utilisation également variables. By its particular technological design, the work station according to the invention, makes it possible to satisfy the use of the most diverse equipment materials, among which we can quote as indicative examples, typewriters, calculators, recording devices, reading screens with control keypad, drawing devices ... It is understandable that these different materials have variable volumes which require positioning positions that are also variable.

Dans ce but, le poste de travail présente une structure porteuse profilée en L et au moins un plan ou plateau monté à libre articulation sur une ossature support qui coopère avec la structure en étant conformée et agencée en combinaison avec une partie de la dite structure pour être déplacée et guidée linéairement en hauteur en vue du règlage concomitant du plateau, par un moyen de manoeuvre accessible par l'utilisateur de son poste de travail, et agissant directement sur une partie appropriée de l'ossature support. For this purpose, the work station has a L-shaped support structure and at least one plane or plate mounted with free articulation on a support frame which cooperates with the structure by being shaped and arranged in combination with a part of said structure for be moved and guided linearly in height for the concomitant adjustment of the plate, by an operating means accessible by the user of his work station, and acting directly on an appropriate part of the support frame.

Ces deux mouvements indépendants et complémentaires du pla 'teau permettent l'adaptation immédiate du poste de travail à une utilisation très spécifique. These two independent and complementary movements of the table allow the immediate adaptation of the workstation to a very specific use.

La structure en L est également conformée pour permettre le montage, d'une manière règlable en hauteur, d'éléments support
De même, le poste de travail selon l'invention est équipé de prises de courant précablées ainsi que d'un dispositif d'éclairage
articulé.The L-shaped structure is also shaped to allow mounting, in a height-adjustable manner, of support elements
Likewise, the work station according to the invention is equipped with pre-wired sockets as well as a lighting device.
Speak clearly.

Ces caractéristiques et d'autres encore ressortiront de la suite de la description. These characteristics and others will emerge from the following description.

Pour fixer l'objet de l'invention sans toutefois le limiter dans les dessins annexés. To fix the subject of the invention without however limiting it in the attached drawings.

La figure 1 est une vue en perspective de l'ensemble du poste de travail. Figure 1 is a perspective view of the entire workstation.

La figure 2 est une vue en perspective du poste de travail montrant plus particulièrement le moyen de règlage en hauteur du plateau. Figure 2 is a perspective view of the workstation showing more particularly the height adjustment means of the tray.

Les figures 3 à 5 sont des vues de profil montrant différentes positions du plateau de travail, avec, en traits mixtes, des positions intermédiaires. Figures 3 to 5 are side views showing different positions of the work surface, with dashed lines, intermediate positions.

La figure 6 est une vue en coupe considérée selon la ligne 6-6 de la figure 1. Figure 6 is a sectional view taken along line 6-6 of Figure 1.

La figure 7 est une vue en coupe considérée selon la ligne 7-7 de ia figure 6
Afin de rendre plus concret l'objet de l'invention, on le décrit maintenant d'une manière non limitative en se référant aux exemples des figures des dessins.Figure 7 is a sectional view taken along line 7-7 of Figure 6
In order to make the object of the invention more concrete, it is now described in a nonlimiting manner with reference to the examples of the figures in the drawings.

On voit, figure 1, que le pose de travail comprend essentiellement une structure porteuse d'appui au soldeslgnée dans son ensemble par (1), au moins un plan ou plateau de travail (2) monté à articulation sur une ossature support (3) qui coopère avec la structure (1) en étant conformée en combinaison avec ladite structure (1) et équipée de moyens pour être déplacée et guidée linéairement en hauteur, en vue du règlage concomitant du plateau (2). It can be seen, in FIG. 1, that the working pose essentially comprises a support structure for supporting the balances as a whole by (1), at least one work plane or plate (2) mounted at articulation on a support frame (3) which cooperates with the structure (1) being shaped in combination with said structure (1) and equipped with means for being moved and guided linearly in height, for the concomitant adjustment of the plate (2).

La structure porteuse (1) présente deux éléments (la et lb) d' appui au sol, équipés chacun, directement ou d'une manière rapportée, d'un montant vertical (lc et ld) perpendiculaire aux éléments de base (la et lb) et positionnésde façon à réaliser deux côtés transversaux profilés très sensiblement en L. Les éléments (la et lb) peuvent prendre directement appui au sol ou être munis de pieds (4) règlables en hauteur. D'une manière préférée, la structure (1) peut ztre exécutée en éléments tubulaires de section ronde notamment,sans sxclure tous autre elements profiles. The supporting structure (1) has two elements (la and lb) for supporting the ground, each equipped, directly or in an attached manner, with a vertical upright (lc and ld) perpendicular to the basic elements (la and lb ) and positioned so as to produce two transverse sides very substantially L-shaped. The elements (la and lb) can bear directly on the ground or be provided with feet (4) adjustable in height. In a preferred manner, the structure (1) can be executed in tubular elements of round section in particular, without excluding any other profiled elements.

L'ossature support (3), présente un élément horizontal de base (3a) dont la longueur est fonction de l'écartement que l'on désire donner aux profilés en L de la structure porLeuse (1). Chacu- ne des extrémités de l'élément (3a) est coudée à 90 degrés de fa çon à former directement, ou d'une manière rapportée, deux montants (3b et 3c), parallèles et de même hauteur. L'extrémité libre des montants (3b et 3c) est aussi coudée à 90 degrés, mais d'une manière perpendiculaire à l'élément de base (3a) en constituant aussi deux éléments (3d et 3e) très sensiblement parallèles aux éléments d'appui au sol (la et lb) de la structure porteuse (1). The support frame (3) has a basic horizontal element (3a), the length of which depends on the spacing which it is desired to give to the L-shaped sections of the porous structure (1). Each of the ends of the element (3a) is bent at 90 degrees so as to form directly, or in an attached manner, two uprights (3b and 3c), parallel and of the same height. The free end of the uprights (3b and 3c) is also bent at 90 degrees, but perpendicular to the base element (3a) by also constituting two elements (3d and 3e) very substantially parallel to the elements of support on the ground (la and lb) of the supporting structure (1).

Les extrémités libres des éléments (3d èt 3e) sont accouplées par des embouts profilés (5 -et 6), à un cadre supérieur horizontal ouvert (3f) positionné au-dessus desdits éléments (3d et 3e) et destiné à faire office de support au plateau de travail (2). Les côtés latéraux (3fl et 3f2) du c-adre ouvert (3f) sont de longueur légèrement supérieure à celle des éléments horizontaux (3d et 3e). The free ends of the elements (3d and 3rd) are coupled by profiled end caps (5 and 6), to an open horizontal upper frame (3f) positioned above said elements (3d and 3rd) and intended to act as a support. to the work plate (2). The lateral sides (3fl and 3f2) of the open c-frame (3f) are slightly longer than that of the horizontal elements (3d and 3e).

D'une manière importante, les montants (3b et 3c) de l'ossa- ture (3), sont équipés d'organes de roulements (7) profilés disposés transversalement en débordemen. du côté extérieur desdits montants, de façon à prendre appui contre les montants (lc et ld) de la structure porteuse (1). De la même façon, les côtés latéraux (3fil et 3f2) du cadre ouvert d'appui (3f) sont équipés chacun d' au moins un organe de roulement profilé (8) convenablement positionné de façon à prendre appui contre les montants (lc et ld) de la structure, mais à l'opposé de la surface d'appui des organes de roulement (7), de façon à enserrer la section desdits montants. Importantly, the uprights (3b and 3c) of the frame (3) are fitted with profiled bearing members (7) arranged transversely in overflow. on the outside of said uprights, so as to bear against the uprights (lc and ld) of the support structure (1). Likewise, the lateral sides (3fil and 3f2) of the open support frame (3f) are each equipped with at least one profiled rolling member (8) suitably positioned so as to bear against the uprights (lc and ld) of the structure, but opposite the bearing surface of the rolling members (7), so as to enclose the section of said uprights.

I1 en résulte conséquemment que l'ossature support (3) est susceptible d'être déplacée linéairement-en hauteur à libre coulissement en étant guidée par les organes de roulement (7 et 8) le long des montants (lc et ld) de la structure. L'ossature (3) fait office d'entretoise aux profilés en L de la structure (1). I1 consequently results therefrom that the support frame (3) is capable of being moved linearly-in height with free sliding while being guided by the rolling members (7 and 8) along the uprights (lc and ld) of the structure . The frame (3) acts as a spacer to the L-shaped sections of the structure (1).

Les organes de roulement (7 et 8) sont des galets montés libres en rotation et dont le profil en section coopère avec celui de la section ronde des montants (lc et ld) Les galets (7) relatifs à chacun des montants (3b et 3c) de l'ossature. sont généralement aucnombre de deux en étant disposés très sensiblement en partie haute et basse desdits montants. The rolling members (7 and 8) are rollers mounted free in rotation and whose cross-sectional profile cooperates with that of the round section of the uprights (lc and ld) The rollers (7) relating to each of the uprights (3b and 3c ) of the framework. are generally two in number, being arranged very substantially at the top and bottom of said uprights.

Après montage de l'ossature (3) en combinaison avec les -montants de la structure (1), les éléments horizontaux supérieurs (3d et 3e) de l'ossature et la plus grande partie du cadre support (3f), sont disposés à l'intérieur des montants (lc et ld), du côté de la plus grande dimension des éléments d'appui au sol (la et lb) par rapport auxdits montants (lc et ld) de la structure (1). Seul le grand côté du cadre (lof) déborde légèrement de l'autre côté des montants (lc et ld). After mounting the frame (3) in combination with the uprights of the structure (1), the upper horizontal elements (3d and 3e) of the frame and most of the support frame (3f), are arranged at inside the uprights (lc and ld), on the side of the largest dimension of the ground support elements (la and lb) relative to said uprights (lc and ld) of the structure (1). Only the long side of the frame (lof) protrudes slightly from the other side of the uprights (lc and ld).

Comme indiqué précédemment, le plateau (2) est monté à libre articulation sur le cadre horizontal (3f) de l'ossature support (3) au moyen notamment des embouts profilés (5 et 6) qui assurent 1' accouplement du cadre ouvert (3f) avec les éléments (3d et 3e), par des portées (5a et 6a) qui s'engagent dans la section creuse complémentaire des côtés (3fl et 3f2) du cadre et desdits éLé- ments (3d et 3e). Chaque embout (5 et 6) constitue une chape dans laquelle sont articulées autour d'un axe (A), des pattes équerrées (9 et 10) que présente en débordement la face de dessous du plateau (2). As indicated above, the plate (2) is mounted with free articulation on the horizontal frame (3f) of the support frame (3) by means in particular of the profiled end pieces (5 and 6) which ensure the coupling of the open frame (3f ) with the elements (3d and 3e), by spans (5a and 6a) which engage in the complementary hollow section of the sides (3fl and 3f2) of the frame and of said elements (3d and 3e). Each end piece (5 and 6) constitutes a yoke in which are articulated around an axis (A), squared legs (9 and 10) which the underside of the plate (2) presents in overflow.

A l'opposé du système de pivotement du plateau (2), la face de dessous dudit plateau est solidaire d'une tringle articulée (11) dont les extrémités recourbées (ila et llb) sont susceptibles de coopérer chacune avec différents crans (L2a) d'un profilé (12) que présente une partie appropriée du cadre support (3f), notamment chacun des côtés latéraux (3fa et 3fb). Selon la position des extrémités recourbées de la tringle articulée (11), dans les crans (12a) des profilés (12), il est possible d'obtenir à volonté différentes positions angulaires du plateau (figure 7). Opposite the pivoting system of the plate (2), the underside of said plate is integral with an articulated rod (11) whose curved ends (ila and llb) are each capable of cooperating with different notches (L2a) a profile (12) that has an appropriate part of the support frame (3f), in particular each of the lateral sides (3fa and 3fb). Depending on the position of the curved ends of the articulated rod (11), in the notches (12a) of the profiles (12), it is possible to obtain at will different angular positions of the plate (Figure 7).

Suivant une autre caractéristique particulièrement importante de l'invention, le règlage en hauteur du plateau (2) s'effectue au moyen d'un volant à forte inertie situé sous le plateau et qui agit directement sur l'ossature support (3) pour la déplacer en hauteur à coulissement guidé, le long des montants (lc et ld) de la structure, par les galets (7 et 8). According to another particularly important characteristic of the invention, the height adjustment of the plate (2) is effected by means of a flywheel with high inertia situated under the plate and which acts directly on the support frame (3) for the move vertically with guided sliding, along the uprights (lc and ld) of the structure, by the rollers (7 and 8).

Dans ce but, le volant d'inertie (13) est solidaire d'une vis sans fin (14) vissée dans la partie supérieure d'un fourreau vertical de protection (15), solidaire à sa base d'une entretoise (16) qui relie rigidement les deux éléments d'appui au sol (la et lb) de la structure porteuse. La partie supérieure débordante de la vis (14), au-delà du volant (13), est conformée en (L4a) pour être solidaire, tout en étant libre en rotation, d'un tube entretoise (17) qui relie par exemple les deux côtés latéraux (3fil et 3f2) du cadre-support (3f) (figure 6 ).. For this purpose, the flywheel (13) is secured to an endless screw (14) screwed into the upper part of a vertical protective sleeve (15), secured at its base to a spacer (16) which rigidly connects the two ground support elements (la and lb) of the support structure. The projecting upper part of the screw (14), beyond the flywheel (13), is shaped in (L4a) to be integral, while being free in rotation, with a spacer tube (17) which for example connects the two lateral sides (3fil and 3f2) of the support frame (3f) (figure 6).

On conçoit donc qu'en agissant en rotation sur le volant (13), on provoque le déplacement en hauteur de la vis (14) qui agit di- rectement en poussée ou en traction sur l'ossature porteuse qui peut par conséquent se déplacer le long des montants (lc et ld) de la structure, en étant guidée par les galets (7 et 8), ce qui- assure concomitamment le règlage à la hauteur désirée du plateau de travail (figure 5 ). It can therefore be seen that, by acting in rotation on the flywheel (13), the screw (14) is displaced in height, which acts directly in thrust or in traction on the supporting frame which can consequently move the along the uprights (lc and ld) of the structure, being guided by the rollers (7 and 8), which concomitantly ensures the adjustment to the desired height of the work plate (Figure 5).

Les montants de la structure porteuse (1) peuvent être par exemple percés d'une pluralité de trous (le), pour permettre le mon tage amovible à différentes hauteurs, d'accessoires divers tels que supportsd'étagères destinés à recevoir un écran de lecture par exem ple, éléments de rangement pour recevoir un équipement de dossiers suspendus (D) (figures 3, 4 et 5). The uprights of the supporting structure (1) can for example be pierced with a plurality of holes (le), to allow removable mounting at different heights, of various accessories such as shelf supports intended to receive a reading screen for example, storage elements for receiving equipment for hanging files (D) (Figures 3, 4 and 5).

On prévoit également, en partie haute des montants (lc et ld), le montage de bras articulés (b) sur un axe pivot (A). Ces bras font office de support à un moyen d'éclairage (18) et sont évidés dans leur partie centrale pour permettre leur coulissement relatif sur l'axe pivot (A) pour approcher ou éloigner conséquemment~le moyen d'éclairage (18) qui peut entre un tube ou autre moyen L' ensemble du poste de travail est susceptible d'être équipé de prises de courant précablées. The upper part of the uprights (lc and ld) is also provided for the mounting of articulated arms (b) on a pivot axis (A). These arms act as a support for a lighting means (18) and are hollowed out in their central part to allow their relative sliding on the pivot axis (A) to approach or consequently distance ~ the lighting means (18) which can between a tube or other means The entire workstation can be fitted with pre-wired sockets.

Sur le plan fabrication, on emploie de préférence des matériaux standards tels que tube acier de différents diamètres ou autres profils, et dont certains sont cintrés, panneaux de bois plaqué, stratifié, matière plastique 0OO De même, afin d'avoir le mini mum d'encombrement pour le stockage et l'expédition, les différents éléments constitutifs de la structure et de l'ossature support du plateau, sont susceptibles d'être réalisés en plusieurs parties démontables et assemblables par différents moyens connus et appropries. From the manufacturing point of view, it is preferable to use standard materials such as steel tube of different diameters or other profiles, some of which are curved, veneered wood panels, laminate, plastic material 0OO Similarly, in order to have the minimum mum 'size for storage and shipping, the various elements of the structure and the support frame of the tray, are capable of being made in several parts that can be dismantled and assembled by different known and appropriate means.

Les avantages ressortent bien de la description en-particulier on souligne - Le règlage rapide et efficace de la hauteur du plan de travail désirée au moyen du volant à forte inertie qui actionne une vis. The advantages emerge clearly from the description in particular, it is emphasized - The rapid and efficient adjustment of the height of the desired work surface by means of the flywheel with high inertia which actuates a screw.

- La facilité de manoeuvre de règlage en hauteur du plateau par 1' utilisateur sans bouger de son poste de travail.- The ease of maneuvering the height of the tray by the user without moving from his workstation.

- Llesthétique. - The aesthetics.

- Les deux mouvements indépendants et complémentaires (inclinaison du plateau et règlage en hauteur du plateau) permettent l'adaptation immédiate du poste de travail à une utilisation très spécifique, telle que position standard, position dactylo, . position informatique, position planche à dessin, position travail graphique, position poste de laboratoire, . position debout.- The two independent and complementary movements (tilting of the tray and height adjustment of the tray) allow the immediate adaptation of the workstation to a very specific use, such as standard position, typist position,. IT position, drawing board position, graphic work position, laboratory position,. standing position.

L'invention ne se limite aucunement à celui de ses modes d' application non plus qu'à ceux des modes,de réalisation de ses diverses parties ayant plus spécialement été indiquées ; elle en embrasse au contraire toutes les variantes. The invention is in no way limited to that of its modes of application any more than to those of the modes, of carrying out its various parts having been more especially indicated; on the contrary, it embraces all its variants.
