Description

  The present invention relates to a telescopic load-bearing frame for a structure whose height can be freely selected. More particularly, the invention relates to a telescopic load-bearing frame assembly according to the preamble of claim 1. The use of the components of the present invention is also claimed.

  This type of telescopic load-bearing frame assembly is found in a wide range of applications. Further, such assemblies are desirably used in configurations for people with reduced mobility / people with physical disabilities that require installation with variable height adjustment. For example, when installed in a kitchen, one or more telescopic load bearing frame assemblies of this type are very effective. Because the height can be adjusted freely, the tabletop can be used to comfortably stand in the wheelchair while sitting in a wheelchair, or sit or sit in the middle waist while working in the kitchen. This is because the user can adjust the height until the height required by the user is reached.

  Particularly for wheelchair users, a sufficiently vacant space is required below the table top. In the plane direction perpendicular to both the user side edge and the side of the table top, in order to reach out to the table and the equipment considered there, a torso / arm is held near the edge and This is because it is easy to operate. Thus, the bracket structure can support a kitchen table top or the like incorporating a sink, a water faucet, a cooking heating plate, and the like in a protruding manner from the rear. Then, by removing or at least sufficiently reducing obstacles on the lower side facing the user of the table top, a vacant space for the user such as a wheelchair is secured.

  Such table tops often require connections to electrical, hot / water faucets, and drainage fixtures, and tabletops that require connection to such fixtures are often this It is installed on a wall with an outlet for connection to electricity, water and sewage pipes through a telescopic load-bearing frame assembly. If it is assessed that such a wall does not have sufficient load resistance to the telescopic carrying frame and the static and dynamic loads applied to the wall, the telescope fixedly mounted on the wall The mold post can comprise a sturdy auxiliary support leg / foot. This tells the floor to absorb the vertical load along the wall through the legs or strong feet, and provides a couple that prevents the user (facing) side from going down Is possible. If the wall material / structure is very weak or porous, it is only possible to locate the assembly, while the load is absorbed by the floor.

  Obviously in addition to the inherent part (of the table top), the static load is suspended under one or more cupboards, refrigerator / freezer, (dishwasher) etc. and under this table top Also due to things. The dynamic load is caused by factors that do not always exist at the same position, such as food, cooking pots, kitchen utensils and sink water, and further contributions to be calculated include grabbing the table to prevent falling, etc. There is a reaction force from the person who takes.

  Instead of placing it under the table, a cupboard can be installed on the table top and on the wall as usual to occupy other space available for wheelchairs and the like. Here, these can be installed in a movable frame structure having a function corresponding to the support function of the table top. Alternatively, the telescopic load-bearing frame assembly can incorporate a structure for supporting the cupboard or the like at a higher place, and in this way, the vertical distance relative to the table top even during height adjustment. Is kept constant.

  As mentioned above, it was used as a model for explaining the background of the present invention for use in the kitchen. However, of course, a similar situation is conceivable, for example, in a bathroom or vanity, a work table of a homeowner, a public facility or a specialized work environment.

  Usually, two struts with indentation means are provided on the wall. These strut movements are always tuned to prevent failure due to reciprocation at the indentation position and the overall length, which can apply extremely large and destructive loads to the structure. Due to safety and protective considerations well known in the related art, indentation movements are often realized via the principle of screws and nuts. This is self-defense in a neglected state where no essential power source is connected, thereby preventing sudden and unpredictable movement. The mechanical screw system in the telescopic strut is mechanically joined for tuning, for example via a coaxial and local gear. On the other hand, for example, one individual electric drive per corresponding telescope-type support works on the principle of screws and nuts, or a similar principle, and these drives do not require adjustment reference via common control means Is tuned based on the pulse count and often requires resetting the count at extreme positions.

  A thorough examination of the patent literature before filing gave negative results.

Most prior art has been regarded as a business product disclosed under the product name “KitFlex” by ROPOX, a manufacturer / distributor of DK-4700, Denmark. At least before the filing of the first priority application and until that date, most related technologies are available on the ROPOXO1 homepage ropox. com and www. ropox. dk and the dedicated link http: // www. ropox. dk / Katalog / eng / koekkentinginger_uk. http and http: // www. ropox. dk / Katalog / dan / koekkentinger. It is released from htm.
1-4 of the accompanying drawings are duplicates from these links to illustrate the most relevant techniques (however, they are slightly modified by removing some of the complicated details).

  According to the most relevant prior art, a telescopic load-bearing frame assembly is composed of two basic frame structures, as no further detailed description is necessary and as can be seen directly from FIGS. These frame structures are precisely welded so that they can be indented from both frames by at least two strut means containing the components. The lower frame is fixedly mounted on the wall (FIG. 3) and, for the reasons described above, is reinforced with legs (FIG. 2) or flat feet (FIGS. 1 and 4 for sufficient stability). ). The upper frame is the relative movement of the assembly and is shown in an end view with a shape resembling Γ, the upper horizontal branch of Γ being the table top for use in the kitchen as shown in FIG. The vertical branch of Γ “includes” the moving part of the telescoping column that cooperates with the joint part from the fixed frame, while representing the bracket structure base frame to support such loads. In the factory, such an assembly is completed with the implementation and adjustment of the means for realizing the height adjustment movement. This may be manual machine tuned crank means (FIG. 1), or an electron provided for each column (FIGS. 2 and 4) tuned with common control means (not shown) as is well known in the prior art. A driver is desirable. The completed assembly is transported as a unit of fairly large structure, ready to be fitted with a wall or a kitchen table top fixed to a bracket base frame, etc. Use screws or the like from the bottom through this base or through the ears above it.

Such an assembly faces two major sets of drawbacks in the handling flow from being brought from the factory to being fully installed and functioning on the wall. First, transporting and loading such bulky assemblies is relatively expensive because the capacity of the standard container module used for this cannot be efficiently utilized.
Second, customer rejection occurs, requiring remanufacturing. It is not a quality issue of the delivered goods, but the customer's previously communicated information regarding where to install the wall's electricity / water / drainage pipes is inaccurate or the assembly ordered for installation on this wall. This is due to the fact that the previously communicated information changes during the subsequent construction phase without further information being communicated to the manufacturer.
Therefore, the columns and horizontal beams in the fixed frame are inconsistent with such outlets, thereby making it impossible to use them there.
Another related disadvantage of the second set is inconsistency with the structure of the table top, which may be added or moved to another location after the assembly is ordered. For example, a situation in which the user of the corresponding kitchen table is not a right-handed person as expected but a left-handed person easily occurs. Such inconsistencies can be easily understood by comparing FIG. 1 and FIG. When placed on this assembly, it has a fixed position in the factory through the foundation beam and is placed on this assembly for manual indentation movement by further crank handle means (far end of the foundation frame in FIG. 1). It cannot pass through the built-in sink on the table top (corresponding edge of the foundation area in FIG. 3).

  The object of the present invention is therefore to provide an improved telescope-type load bearing frame assembly of this kind, which not only solves the problems indicated above, but also is described below. Provides other advantages.

  This object is achieved by a telescopic load-bearing frame assembly for adjusting the height selectably adjacent to the wall and above the floor height.

  The frame assembly includes at least two telescopes including a bracket structure for supporting a structure having a substantial static load thereon, and means for adjusting the height and autonomously fixing at a selected height. For this at least two struts, the movement of the telescopic strut is synchronized by common control of the joining machine means and / or the individual drive devices. Some of these at least two telescopic struts are fixedly mounted to the wall and include sturdy support legs / foot if possible.

  Such an assembly according to the invention comprises at least the following components: It is an independent and very long main beam, with a sufficiently horizontal arrangement, it is always circumscribed in its longitudinal direction, allowing positioning and fixing of both vertical telescoping columns and horizontal bracket structural brackets The main beam such that its position is freely selectable along the beam or stepwise in increments of up to 50 mm, and individual units. A minimum of two telescope-type struts, each of which has individual positioning and fixing means for mounting the main beam at a selected position, and at least two of the individual units Bracket structure bracket, this bracket with individual positioning and fixing means for providing the main beam in a selected position.

  By this method, the assembly can be transported and stored as a separated bar-like part, so that more efficient loading of containers can be realized, and the above-mentioned first set of drawbacks can be solved.

  The second type of drawbacks can also be avoided here because the positioning of the telescopic struts and brackets can be waited for use at the mounting location to accurately determine the fixed position along the main beam. The actual environment is respected because the separated struts and brackets can be easily mounted on the main beam outside the factory. This further facilitates transport through a narrow doorway of the building.

  The telescoping post is secured to the wall via an integrated ear or the like or using an insertion shim that fits the common ideal wall. However, in practice, it is joined to a wall that is not physically flat.

  Even if it is not just a hole, it is desirable that the longitudinal means of the main beam have a relief groove, which extends along all the main beams continuously and in parallel. Such formed grooves can be rolled from a cross section of a large bar, but the main beam is preferably a projecting shaped cross section, and preferably is a metallic material, and further contains an aluminum content. Is desirable. This is because such metal alloys can be directly extruded into economically required finished shapes and have sufficient mechanical properties to satisfy the load resistance requirements. Examples of materials that can replace metals include polymer composite materials such as glass fiber reinforced polyester, which can be selected when the present invention is introduced in a corrosive environment.

  Furthermore, the always circumscribing shape along the main beam can be rectangular and therefore in the horizontal mounting position, this beam therefore has two vertical and two horizontal sides for mounting brackets and telescopic posts, respectively. It is possible to provide. This method further facilitates assembly. This is because these flat surfaces can be easily joined by the corresponding planes on the column and bracket. And simple fixing with few adjustments is required by a set screw or the like that pushes a corresponding surface of the main beam and a bracket. On the other hand, it is fixed to the groove or the like by a reinforcing means such as a screw.

  Desirably, a portion of the means for mounting and securing the telescoping post and / or bracket to the main beam can be located in the relief groove. For this arrangement, the dimension extends at right angles to the groove direction, which is larger than the spacing between the groove openings. This part further comprises at least one joining means to the adjusting means, which means is preferably at least one screw hole for a screw. The use of screws as positioning elements (through the radius at the opening of the groove) and adjustment parts (coupling the screw holes in the fixed part from the posts and bracket ears etc. to the relief groove) It was shown to be satisfactory. It was also shown to be a very economical tool.

  While it is always possible to place such a fixed part in the groove by sliding from the open end of the groove, it is necessary to remove the already mounted part, where this sliding is stopped. ing. In particular, brackets and the like are further mounted due to changes in repair situations and cases when using heavier loads. It is desirable that the fixed part disposed in the escape groove has a shape and a size that allow insertion from the side surface into the groove to be accurately cut down. It is also desirable that this is due to a straight movement through the groove mouth following this rolling movement in a groove having a sufficiently large cross-sectional area to allow rolling. For this reason, such mounting can be realized without removing the already mounted bracket or the like. Details that are both delicate and difficult to disassemble and assemble have been added to both the main beam and table top at the open end connected to this bracket. Therefore, considerable effort and cost are saved by mounting additional brackets independently.

  In the situation where the assembly according to the invention has the movement of at least two telescopic struts tuned in the manner of connecting machine means, these coupling means are shaft lengths that exhibit their longitudinal non-circular circumscribed shape. Is part of the direction. This shape allows the torsional couple to be transmitted directly in either direction with almost no reaction by inserting through and through the correspondingly formed hole. In addition, this transmits the manual crank movement for indenting the column, and the gear device equipped with the corresponding through hole is fixed and arranged at an appropriate position without being aware of the sink installed on the table top. It can move freely along its tuning axis. Instead of a manual crank device, a drive mechanism that exhibits a shape corresponding to the through hole of the tuning shaft can also be a controllable electric motor gear device with similar mounting equipment.

  The mechanical coupling length of the shaft member having a constant outer shape in the longitudinal direction is desirably insertable / removable through one or a plurality of corresponding telescope type columns. This facilitates the situation in which the mechanical joint from this tuning shaft to the telescopic strut and / or the manual crank and the power gear device has to be replaced by sliding the shaft in this axial direction. It is possible to prevent. In addition, removal of the shaft also facilitates the method.

  From a cost and management point of view, the telescopic struts and / or brackets should preferably be identical, which can reduce the number of manufactured and in-stock products, and can be error-free on the user side. The risk of implementation is also reduced.

  The main beam desirably comprises means for implementing another load bearing structure. This load-bearing structure is for withstanding a sufficient static load at a height different from the height determined by the bracket. For example, for use in the kitchen, it is also possible to mount the cupboard together with the kitchen table top into an assembly for height adjustment at the same time. Therefore, another device is not used for adjusting the height of the cupboard. Similarly, in the bathroom etc., the main outlets for eg mirrors, lights, side shelves and electric hair dryers can also be implemented so that they can move with the wash basin that the brackets move.

  Finally, from the obvious further use of the assembly according to the invention within the scope of the claims, a further applied telescopic load-bearing frame assembly for the selective adjustment of the height above the floor height is also included. can get. This is a style independent of the walls. The assembly of the present invention can then have one main beam or more horizontal main beams arranged horizontally on at least two telescopic struts with feet. The beams operate simultaneously at the same level (height) for common load bearing support of structures supported on brackets mounted on this main beam. In the latter case, the column usually only requires a leg to contact the floor. This is because the mounted telescope-type support column does not need to further stabilize the couple from the leg, and is sufficiently spread to stably support the applied load.

  The drawings attached to this description show preferred embodiments of the present invention, some of which are prior art, and some are not particularly limited. 1 to 4 of the drawings are disclosed to show the most relevant prior art as described above, and are shown below.

  In FIG. 1, a prior art telescope load bearing frame assembly is shown. This is for adjusting the height to be freely selectable above the floor surface height, adjacent to the wall. This embodiment is a manual crank type in which a leg is provided with a leg and an individual handle is used.

  FIG. 2 shows a prior art telescope load bearing frame assembly. This is for adjusting the height to be freely selectable above the floor surface height, adjacent to the wall. In this embodiment, an electric driver is individually provided for each telescope type support column having legs that are difficult to see from the outside.

  FIG. 3 shows a prior art telescope load bearing frame assembly. This is a form of moving a kitchen table top connected to an imaginary stable wall and equipped with a sink with a drain, a water faucet, and a cooking hot plate. In an assembly with the table top, several cupboards are joined to the same imaginary wall.

  FIG. 4 is a prior art assembly other than the above, which can be regarded as a leg replaced in FIG. 2 and a manual drive in FIG. 1 replaced with an electric driver.

  An assembly according to the present invention is illustrated in FIGS.

  FIG. 5 shows the assembly of the present invention mounted with multiple legs and a manual drive.

  FIG. 6 shows a slightly developed form of the embodiment of FIG. Expand to show the most important details.

  FIG. 7 shows a perspective view from above of the bracket according to the invention with fixing and adjusting means for the main beam relief groove.

  FIG. 8 shows the bracket end of the present invention in FIG. 7 adapted to be mounted on the vertical side of the main beam.

  FIG. 9 shows the bracket according to FIGS. 7 and / or 8 as viewed from the open end towards the ear with mounting means.

  FIG. 10 shows a low-quality photograph showing the fixed portions arranged in the respective escape grooves in the main beam.

  FIG. 11 shows the use of the assembly according to the invention for mounting a hand basin in the bathroom, using a dedicated bracket for a wall mounted basin.

  FIG. 12 shows the use of the assembly according to the invention for mounting a built-in bench-top handwasher that is mounted on the assembly and supported from below.

  1-4, of the same form of assembly that selectively adjusts the height above the floor level adjacent to the wall, the prior art telescopic load bearing frame assembly is most relevant as described above. The same reference numbers of the prior art are shown, but are shown in a slightly modified reproduction diagram.

  1 to 4 can be easily distinguished as follows.

  For each assembly (FIGS. 1, 2 and 4), the two telescoping struts 2 can be either foot 3 (FIGS. 1 and 4 (if the wall is very weak)) or leg 4 (FIG. 1) as described above. 2 (difficult to see, this simply conveys the vertical force). The upper / movable weld frame that takes the shape of Γ includes a bracket structure that serves as a foundation for the upper Γ branch and internal parts for the telescopic struts in the vertical branch of Γ. The lower fixed frame 6 for mounting on the wall 23 (FIG. 3) includes an ear 14 as a means for fixing to the wall and is held together via a horizontal traverse 7. A parallel space is created for the parts of the outer telescoping post 2 so that it fits perfectly into the corresponding internal parts from this upper frame 5. This indentation movement of the assembly is realized via the driver 8. This driver 8 is mounted on each of the columns 2 and is controlled simultaneously by a known principle. As another method, it is possible to manually drive the column by using a combination of a gear ring and an autonomous fixing screw / nut for each column. From the independent handle 13 to the gear 11 via the crankshaft 12, these manually driven telescopic struts 9 can be driven simultaneously. This is because the tuning shaft 10 passes through the manual gear 11 and further reaches the internal gear ring of each manual column 9. Of course, when the support is driven by the externally mounted driver 8, the internal gearing of the support is omitted.

  At the free end of the table top 16, a sink 17 having a drain outlet 18, a faucet 19, a kitchen table top 16 (FIG. 3) incorporating an electronic heating plate 20, fixtures and a regulator 21 are often installed and used on site. Now, it is installed into this assembly through the ears of the bracket structure 5 via screws or the like. In such a kitchen, for convenience to wheelchair users, the cupboard 22 (FIG. 3) can be provided on the wall 23 without occupying the space below the kitchen table.

  FIG. 5 shows the assembly of the present invention in the “pre-stage of mounting on the wall and mounting on the table top”. In FIG. 6, the principle of mounting on the main beam 42 is made clearer by slightly expanding the same assembly 41. 5 and 6 has sufficient supportability because the leg 4 is selected here in the manual telescope-type support column 43 instead of installing a foot such as number 3 or nothing. Suitable for walls (for extremely stable walls with excellent load bearing properties). A manual configuration relating to crank rotation to the two telescope type columns 43 through the handle 13, the gear 45 and the tuning shaft 10 is shown. The telescope type support column 43 is configured based on the same principle as the prior art type 9, but is completed as a single component having a mounting surface and means for the main beam 42 of the present embodiment having a rectangular circumscribed shape. Instead of the prior art base bracket structure 5, the assembly of the present invention includes a plurality of independent brackets 44. It is desirable that the brackets be manufactured identically for the same assembly (of course there may be differences due to variations in table top depth, or special requirements of the product being installed). At the open end 46 of the bracket, it is possible to mount the fittings 51 for connection to the fixtures and adjusters 21 and the ears 15 for fixing to the table top 16 by conventional means.

  Here, in order to describe the mounting of the main beam 42 in more detail, the bracket 44 will be described with reference to FIGS. However, the same applies to the column 43 and the manual gear 45. As shown roughly in FIG. 10, the right end shape of the main beam 42 is shown, and relief grooves 53 and 52 are shown on the lower side and the left side of FIG. 10. This escape groove is particularly for mounting the post and bracket respectively.

  The individual brackets in FIGS. 5 and 6 are shown in perspective in the same position in FIG. In FIG. 7, an ear 47 is shown at the mounting end of the bracket 44. This ear has a screw hole for the adjusting screw 50 and a through hole for positioning and adjusting the adjusting means 49. Of course, such means 49 are precisely made with a shape and an exact size so that there is no play due to the fixing of the grooves in the main beam 42. However, in this embodiment, it has been shown that simple positioning and adjustment means such as screws 49 are sufficient for the intended purpose. Through the ear 47, the screw 49 is coupled with a screw hole in the fixing portion 48, which is designed as a rectangular shape as can be seen from FIGS. This rectangular surface shape is provided with a thread for two positioning adjustment screws 49 through each ear 47. Here, it can be seen from FIG. 10 that the bracket 44 (left side) including the loosening screw 49 and the fixing portion 48 can slide from the end of the main beam 42 to the escape groove 52 at the rear of the main beam vertical side. Easy to understand. At the same time, the end surface of the bracket 44 slides along the beam to a desired position in the longitudinal direction of the beam (opens a sink or other obstacle below the table top so that it can be disposed later. is doing). In order to stably join the end surface of the bracket to the side surface of the beam, the screw 49 is fixed at an accurate location so that the fixing portion is fixedly disposed at the cut-down position in the groove 52. Usually, the main beam has mechanical characteristics such that the bending and torsional moment that are transmitted through the bracket 44 and the column 43 are stably and firmly received by the combination of the size, the protruding shape, and the material. However, if for some reason it is necessary to lift the free end of the bracket, this free end will pass from the bracket ear 47 via the adjusting screw 50, below the adjusting screw 49, to the longitudinal side of the main beam. It is possible to adjust to a desired height while adjusting to accurately press. Such an adjustment mechanism is well known in the prior art. Such adjustment is performed while fixing the bracket 44 to the main beam. FIG. 9 shows this arrangement most clearly. Furthermore, this arrangement allows fine adjustment of the open end of the bracket in the direction of the main beam 42.

  Furthermore, the model in which this telescopic strut 43 and / or the corresponding driver is actuated is mounted on the main beam 42 based on the same principle. In FIGS. 5 and 10, the support for the column is shown as number 54. In addition, these struts are used at the point of use prior to being secured to the main beams 42 by screw means 49 through holes in the struts along the main beams (completely independent of the brackets and vice versa). It is possible to slide to a desired position without an outlet provided on the wall (FIG. 10).

  If the fixing portion 48 slides from the side to the escape groove so as to find an accurate fixing position for joining the screw 49 from the ear 47 of the bracket, and if it can roll in this, for example, By placing additional brackets between the other brackets, the effort can be significantly reduced (a clear means for this can of course also be provided). 10 is sufficient to provide this facility. On the other hand, the bottom clearance groove 53 for mounting the support column has no allowance for the shape of the groove. It is not provided in the example shown.

Normally, the tuning shaft 10 simultaneously exhibits a hexagonal shape that provides advantageous torsional rigidity and sufficient non-circularity. This makes it possible to directly transmit the moment from the crank gear 45 to the gear ring of the manual telescope type strut by insertion at the alignment hole. The gear 45 that slides to a desired position without an obstacle through the mounting plate 57 is mounted in the same manner as the bracket 44. The plate is formed so that the hexagonal through hole in the mounting gear 45 is aligned with the hexagonal through hole of the support post to be used. As an alternative, instead of using the manual crank gear 45, an appropriately designed electric gear motor device (57 in FIG. 11) can be mounted with a similar mounting device through a coaxial through hole. Further, it is desirable that the columns are the same, and each column is provided with two straight external holes 55 (FIGS. 5, 6, and 10). Thereby, the tuning shaft 10 can be penetrated. Usually, this shaft 10 is installed slightly shorter than the main beam 42. Of course, it is always possible to adjust the length of the farthest manual telescope-type support 43 to a length short enough to reach the manual telescope-type support 43. Even when this assembly is located between the walls adjacent to both ends of the main beam 42, it is removed from the two struts 43 by zigzag movement in the horizontal plane using a suspended loose gear. Open the shaft.
Additional struts are mounted in the middle between the end struts 43 for additional lift capacity during height adjustment and / or greater robustness to withstand the bending of the very deep table top open edge It is also possible to do. In the first situation, a standard manual telescopic post 43 is used. In the latter situation, only the load-bearing precision guidance function is used in this situation, so the (same) type “empty” telescopic struts used in the individual drive operations are used. Such a configuration also has two holes for passing the shaft. For example, when the kitchen table top is changed to another new layout, the gear is moved to the new position in the fixed installation on the other side of the wall while preventing the sliding to the new position along the mounting shaft 10. For the opening in this case with respect to the tuning axis 10 above, such as for moving 45, this new third leg must be released from the main beam, wall or floor in order to follow this axis. I must. The advantage in this case is that the overall positioning and stability of the assembly is maintained during this operation, so that additional legs can then be easily remounted. A suitable length that can be coupled and / or guided by a suitable coupling device of the type that can be removed or by a component element of an existing drive train with a sufficiently long through-hole to safely accept the two shaft ends. It is of course possible to prevent this situation by using a shorter shaft.

  Of course, an automated form of the assembly 41 of the present invention, such as the prior art of FIGS. 2 and 4, can also be constructed using telescopic struts with individually actuated drivers. Of course, in the configuration provided with a driver that electrically controls movement and reciprocation in common, the parts 13, 45, 57 and 10 used in manual operation, and the column 43 are of course not installed. However, the main beam 42, the bracket 44 provided with the mounting means and the connection fitting 51, and the assumed plurality of legs 4 and legs 3 are the same parts. It is therefore also easy to realize the transition from manual drive to automatic drive in the assembly of the invention that is already fully equipped and usable.

  In particular, the individual automated drivers in each telescopic strut can be used for other purposes, even if there is no room for the tuning axis and / or the drive, since the space between these struts is used for other purposes. This opens up a useful possibility for the tuned movement of this strut. Furthermore, in the installation of corners such as kitchens, combinations such as the two main beams 42 can be achieved by individually driven strut means. In such a case, a strut with at least three drivers is usually used. At this time, a corner or one near the corner is used by supporting the ends of both main beams 42. In order to function as an ear for the second fixing portion that slides into the groove 53 at the end of another main beam in the corner, the protrusion shown at the upper portion of the support column below the fixing portion 54 in FIG. Be changed. By electrically controlling all three struts at the same time, it is possible to avoid minute tuned transmission with an angle. The connection line between the two table top components, often contributing to the angled table surface, is placed near or above the bracket for manual and secure fixation of the connection end through the bracket. As is provided, the brackets 44 to the main beams 42 at the two corners are preferably positioned. The table top mounting holes 56 of the bracket 44 are arranged in two rows at appropriate intervals along the bracket, and are effective in supporting such a connecting line.

  As just described, both the angle adjustment for the corner using the legs or feet at the lower end of the column and the line adjustment in FIG. 5 without using the feet in the assembly according to the present invention for contact with the floor. It is possible to stand alone on the floor independently, independent of the wall. Furthermore, a configuration with two line adjustments on the legs facing each other can provide a stable structure if manual stability can be obtained via a common table top. Therefore, such obvious use of the free stand type according to the combination of the present invention is also included in the claims.

  Of course, in order to adjust the height in synchronization with the main beam / bracket structure, the assembly according to the present invention mounted on the wall is also moved by a cupboard or the like arranged with a constant distance to the assembly moved by the bracket. It is also possible to include an extension part and an auxiliary part.

  FIG. 11 illustrates the use of the present invention to install a handwasher in a bathroom. Here, a special bracket 58 is used with a short horizontal bar and a vertical surface in contact with the mounting slit / hole. In this method, the vertical wall is imitated to implement a fixed hand-washer installed on another wall. Furthermore, a toilet attached to the wall is also installed by this method. If the assembly of the present invention in such an example is not much wider than the handwasher itself, it leaves a free space used to tune the shaft 10 and the electric gear motor device 57. It is. At the end 59 of the beam, it can be distinguished from the design examples other than FIG. 10 of the cross section of the beam according to the present invention.

  FIG. 12 shows the use of the assembly according to the invention to implement a bench-top hand wash basin comprising a table top and a basin. In a situation such as this example, a method using a column 43 on which the driving machine is individually operated is selected. In order to support the entire bench-top basin, two brackets 44 are connected to the front bar 60 here. Thereby, a structure having a shape close to a U-shape is formed. This structure allows for continuous support of all edges of the basin. In addition, such basins are often formed of a strong but fragile ceramic material, so it is desirable to bond through some load distribution pad. Bathtubs are installed according to this. This bar 60 is connected to the bracket 44 by any reasonable means including welding, etc., and this bar is additionally used for mounting further products. In this example and the situation as in FIG. 11, the auxiliary structure of the assembly according to the present invention can also support mirrors, illuminations, etc. for movement and positioning in tune with the basin.
