Description

The proposed utility model relates to devices that have a multifunctional purpose, in particular, to pieces of furniture, and can be devices in the form of a table, shelf, stand, etc., combined with various electronic, including communication equipment. Such devices can be used as a multifunctional workplace for work, study, leisure, food.

A table device is known (see German patent No. 10242982, M. class G 07F 17/34, 17/32, publ. March 18, 2004), which is intended for use in a cafe containing a flat horizontal surface in the form of a board (table top ), which, in particular, can be used for playing, combined with a box placed under it, and rigidly connected with this surface and fixed on the floor. In the box is the electronic equipment necessary for playing the game on the table or a display for observing the necessary information on it, for which a cutout has been made in the countertop. The countertop can be folded down to provide access to the contents of the box, which also has a hole closed by a lid. In addition, the table top is equipped with a slot-shaped hole for receiving coins, with which a coin-channel channel is connected from the side of the box, having a device for draining liquid into the table leg (holder), since the table is used in cafes and for food. The table leg (holder) has a plate shape. The holder has a tool for checking coins and banknotes lowered into the coin pipe, and there is a place for placing mounting elements for technical communications, for example, wires.

The main subject of the invention in a known device is the provision of the possibility of protecting coins and banknotes from liquid, which may be on the countertop when using a table for food. Moreover, the design of the device can provide a fairly limited area of its use - in cafes, bars, etc.

A device is known for a table combined with electronic equipment (see international application WO 0137163, M. cl. G 06 F 17/60, 1/16, G 07 F 17/34, 17/32, publ. 25.05.2001) , which contains at least one work surface (countertop), in the form of a flat horizontal surface made of a sealed waterproof material and having a cutout in the form of a frame made of transparent material to enable the observation of electronic, including communication equipment,

placed in the base, made in the form of a box. The box on one side is attached to the back of the work surface, and on the other hand it has a stable holder having a longitudinal hole inside for passing wires of electronic equipment through it, for example, a display or a computer, which can be connected to an Internet access system. Moreover, the frame in the working surface can be oriented in such a way as to ensure the convenience of viewing the display at the required angle. The tabletop may contain several cutouts in the form of a frame for placing several workplaces with the corresponding electronic equipment placed in the box under the tabletop, which can be controlled by a single control device. In addition, the countertop and the box are connected in such a way that the tabletop can be folded down to provide access to the equipment inside the box, which is inoperative at this time. It is also possible to mount countertops to the wall.

This device, as well as discussed above according to the patent of Germany No. 10242982, has limited possibilities for its use and operation with the equipment located in it, as well as its management, since its design provides for the possibility of using its working surface only in a horizontal position, and observing electronic equipment placed in the box, only on the outside of the work surface. In this case, the working surface may recline, but then the possibility of the functioning of electronic equipment located in the box under the working surface is excluded. In addition, the design of the box holder is such that it provides the ability to mount the working surface only to the floor or wall.

The objective of the utility model is to expand the functionality of using a table, combined with electronic, including communication equipment.

This problem is solved in the proposed multifunctional workplace containing at least one working surface of an arbitrary functionally appropriate form, combined with service, including electronic and communication equipment, partially or completely located in a box of an arbitrary functionally appropriate form, which is attached to the reverse side of the working surface, and at least one working surface and the box is made with the possibility of protection of service equipment about t damage, at least one working surface and the box made with the possibility of moving the service equipment or its components in a convenient working position, at least one working surface and the box have openings for passing through them the wires necessary for the service equipment, to ensure access, including visual to this equipment and to ensure

the ability to manage it, while the multifunctional workstation is equipped with at least one stable holder, characterized in that at least one work surface is made in such a way that it can take any working position while using the multifunction workstation with a service equipment, for example, vertical, horizontal, inclined, by its rigid fixation or by rotation and / or inclination, and other working surfaces are made with the possibility of movement and / or lifting and / or extensions relative to the first working surface and are used to place on and / or in them at least one component of the service equipment, for example, an input device or an output device, the holder has holes for passing wires necessary for the service equipment and is made with the possibility of mounting the working surface and the box to any surface, in relation to which they must be fixed in height, angle, distance and / or with the possibility of installing the working surface and the box on the user's knees or on various pieces of furniture, electronic equipment including an input device, an output device and a visualization device, for example, a display is placed on and / or in at least one working surface, in a box behind and / or under the working surface and can be made with the possibility of rotation and / or lifting and / or extension to a working position with respect to at least one working surface, located on and / or above and / or below and / or next to the working surface.

Moreover, in the proposed multifunctional workplace, the work surface can be made in the form of a shelf or tray or stand or a vertical terminal or table or training desk or board for design work.

In addition, the working surface can be made with the possibility of rotation and / or tilt together with the box.

The working surface may have openings closed by separate parts of the working surface, for example, in the form of plugs or covers made of translucent material, and when inoperative, form a smooth single working surface, and the covers or caps may be located in recesses and have ears as handles rings.

In the proposed multifunctional workplace, a box can be used as a holder, fixed on the floor or wall or various pieces of furniture.

The proposed multifunctional workstation may contain n working surfaces joined to each other, of arbitrary functionally appropriate form, forming a single working surface, where n is an integer, each of which is combined with a set of electronic and communication equipment located in a box belonging to the corresponding

work surface, or a single box belonging to all work surfaces.

As can be seen from the description of the differences of the proposed device, the expansion of the functionality of its use is ensured by the implementation in the proposed device of the working surface in such a way that it can take any working position during use. In this case, the device can be provided with additional work surfaces that can move, extend, rise relative to the first work surface, and at least one component of the service equipment can be stored in them. Extend the functions of the device and allows the implementation of a stable holder with the possibility of mounting the work surface and the box to any surface, in relation to which they must be fixed in height, distance or angle, or with the possibility of installation on knees or various pieces of furniture, while ensuring the possibility of rotation lifting or extending electronic equipment to a working position with respect to at least one working surface.

As a result, the proposed workplace can be used both as a training, and as a workplace, and as a dining table, stand or tray, which can be installed in any places and conditions and does not require the solution of any additional issues related to their placement and use in combination with various electronic equipment.

This utility model is illustrated by drawings, where:

Figure 1 a) shows an example of a multifunctional workplace (MRM) in the form of a working, training or dining four-seater table, the additional functions of which can be simultaneously used by two opposite each other user.

In this example, the main working surface 1 MRM: has a square shape; made of shockproof moisture-proof material, usually used in cafes and restaurants; and contains two holes 2 closed by sealed covers 3 of light-transmitting material so that the covers 3 form a single plane with the working surface 1. Through the lid 3, you can observe the contents of the box 4, on which the working surface 1 is fixed. In this case, the working surface 1 can rotate around its horizontal axis by changing the angle of inclination relative to the box 4 for installation in the most convenient working position.

The box 4, in turn, is mounted on a stable hollow holder 5, made in the form of a rectangular or round table leg, so that the working surface 1 together with the box 4 can rotate around the vertical axis of the holder 5. The lower end of the holder 5 is fixed on a dish base 6 The hole 7 in the base 6 is intended for output from the MPM connecting wires and cables 8, passed through the box 4 and the hollow holder 5.

The holder 5 may have an arbitrary longitudinal functionally appropriate height, allowing users to sit or stand behind the MPM.

In the box 4 there are built-in additional working surfaces 9, made in the form of roll-out shelves-supports, which in the inoperative position can be pushed into the box 4, and in the worker to be pulled out of it.

Possible directions of movement of the working surfaces of the MPM are shown in figure 1 a) with the corresponding arrows.

Figure 1 b) shows the MPM box 4 used in the above example 1) with the removed working surface 1 so that examples of the movement mechanisms 10, 11 and 12 of the working surfaces 1 and 9 used in the MPM are visible.

Box 4 in this example is a rectangular box made of a heat-resistant material, such as metal, to protect against overheating when its contents can be heated, and has a bottom 4 'and two pairs of identical-sized opposite side walls 4' 'and 4' ' 'fixed on the bottom 4' The height of the walls 4 '' determines the height of the duct 4. The walls 4 '' ', located on the user side, have a lower height compared to the walls 4' 'to allow the extension of additional working surfaces from the duct - roll-out 9 shelves.

The mechanism for extending additional working surfaces 9 is implemented in this example in the form of guides 10 made, for example, of metal or plastic, fixed on the inner sides of the side walls 4 ″ parallel to the bottom 4 ’. Moving along the guides 10 with their lateral faces, the surfaces 9 can be advanced by the user from the box 4 or retracted.

To install the working surface 1 in a convenient working position, its height and / or angle can be adjusted by means of a lifting and fixing mechanism 11 (see the remote drawing) and 12 (see Fig. 1 c), the remote drawing) between the working surface 1 and the box 4, which is implemented in this example as follows. Fasteners are fixed in the upper corners of both side walls of the box 4 '' - finger pins 11 made, for example, of metal. In all corners of the working surface 1, step guides 12 are fixed on the inside, made, for example, of metal so that when the working surface 1 is mounted on the box 4, each of the pins 11 is fixed in the corresponding vertical groove 12 'of the guide 12. For tilting or additional lifting the working surface 1 relative to the box 4, it is necessary to raise the corresponding edge or all the edges of the working surface 1 by moving the pins 11 along the corresponding grooves 12 'and fixing them at the desired height in the recess x 12 ''.

The bottom of the box 4 'has a hole 13 (see the remote drawing), docked with the corresponding hole of the holder 5 in order to pass wires 8 through them.

Access to the contents of the box 4 is carried out by fully extending and removing the working surfaces 1 and 9.

Figure 1 c) shows an MPM with a main working surface 1, translated into position at an angle to the duct 4 using a lifting and fixing mechanism 11 and 12 (see Fig. 1 b)).

Figure 1 g) shows an MRM with a main working surface 1 translated into a position parallel to the duct 4 at a certain height with respect to it using the lifting and fixing mechanism 11 and 12 (see Fig. 1 b)).

Figure 2 a) shows the MRM in the context of vertical, where an example of the placement of service electronic equipment in the box 4 is shown in more detail:

- Input and output devices, for example, a keyboard and mouse 14, are fixed on an additional working surface - a roll-out shelf 9 (see an example of a roll-out shelf from above 9 'in a remote drawing). In this example, at a user place on the right, the roll-out shelf 9 is presented in the working extended position, and on the left - in the idle position retracted into the box 4; - a visualization device, for example, a display 15 is fixed at an angle to the working surface 1 on a stand 16 mounted on the bottom of the box 4, which makes it possible for the user to observe it through the lid 3; - control unit 17; - wires and cables 8; - a standard rotary-rotary device 18, used in rotary tables, between the box 4 and the holder 5, with which the work surface 1 and the box 4 can rotate around the vertical axis of the holder 5.

In Fig.2 b) shows a variant of the MPM in the context of vertical, containing one set of equipment and thus having a box 4 of a smaller size compared with the box 4 in the embodiment of figure 2 a).

Figure 3 a) shows a variant of the MPM containing one set of equipment and having a composite box 4, the upper part of which is implemented as a horizontally located box and is fixed on the lower part, implemented as a vertically located box that simultaneously performs the function of holder 5. the upper part of the duct 4 is smaller than the duct 4 in the embodiment of FIG. 2 b) and can be shifted towards the user relative to the central vertical axis of the MPM.

The main working surface 1 in this example is round in shape and contains one hole 2 for extending through it a visualization device, for example, a display 15, which in this example is in an idle position in the box and is closed by a sealed lid 3, which forms a single surface with the working surface 1 plane. The cover 3 is provided with a handle-ring 19, hidden in a specially provided recess in the cover 3.

Figure 3 b) shows an example of MRM with a visualization device, for example, a display 15, translated the operating position, by vertically sliding it out of the box 4 by means of a lifting and mounting step mechanism, for example, similar to that described in figure 1 b). The display 15 extends from the box 4 by the handle 19 of the cover 3, which is rigidly fixed on the upper edge of the display 15.

In Fig.3 c) a variant of the MPM in the idle position is shown in vertical section. The arrows show the possible direction of movement of parts of the equipment and work surfaces.

Figure 4 a) shows a variant of a single-user MPM with the main working surface 1 of a rectangular shape, with a visualization device, for example, a display 15, translated into working position by rotating its upper face around a horizontal axis passing through its lower face. In this example, the cover 3 with the handle-ring 19, hermetically closing the inoperative position of the hole 2, performs the function of a protective screen of the display 15, on the front surface of which it is rigidly fixed.

Figure 4 b) separately shows an example of a swivel-mounting stepper mechanism by which the display rises and locks at the desired angle to the working surface 1 in the working position and lowers into a horizontal position in the hole 2 at the end of work. The mechanism contains:

- a rotary loop 20 connecting the lower face of the display 15 with the working surface 1, forming the axis of rotation of the display 15;

- shoulder-support 21, made, for example, of metal, which at one end is attached using a rotary loop 22 to the rear wall of the display 15; thereby the second end can rotate freely;

- a bar 23 with equidistant teeth 24, which allow you to fix the shoulder 20 and, thus, the display 15 at the desired angle to the working surface 1.

To put the display 15 in the working position, you must pull the handle 19 of the cover 3 up. At the same time, the cover 3 together with the display 15 rotates on the loop 20 until the desired angle of inclination relative to the working surface 1 is reached. After that, the shoulder 21 is fixed with the desired tooth 24 of the strap 23.

This example of the implementation of the swivel-mounting mechanism is similar to the mechanism used in laptops to rotate the laptop display to achieve the desired angle.

Figure 5 shows a variant of MRM, made in the form of a stand or tray, which can be placed on the knees of the user or on furniture elements - a table, shelf or bed. The functions of the holders are performed by a box 4 having rectangular side walls, one pair of which on the sides of the user 4 ″ is made in the form of legs, which can end below with flat stable horizontal legs 25 along the entire length of the legs 4 ″. With this design, an arbitrary functionally appropriate form of the working surface 1 is possible, in this example rectangular, and various options for placing equipment in the box (see Figs. 1, 3, 4).

Fig. 6 a) shows an MRM in the form, for example, of an information stand or terminal with a vertically oriented main working surface 1 and a duct 4 relative to the additional working surface 9, used, for example, as a rack, shelf, stand for input and output devices. In this case, the terminal can be attached by means of a vertical holder 5 and a base 6 to the floor, by means of a horizontal holder 5 'to a wall, furniture elements, etc.

Figure 6 b) shows an example of a structural combination of N MRMs in such a way that the working surfaces 1 and 9 are monolithic surfaces, the equipment of all MPMs is combined in a single box 4. In this case, a functionally appropriate amount, shape and type of holders are selected.

In the general case, N MRM, where N is an integer, can be used together, combining by any functionally and structurally acceptable methods.

N MRM located in one or different rooms can be united by a single network and have centralized management with an independent design solution.

N MPM in various versions can be shifted close to each other, while maintaining complete structural and functional independence.

Consider the use of the proposed MRM by the user in the example shown in figure 3.

Around the MPM can accommodate several people, but the direct user of the MPM should be on the side of the drawout shelf 9.

For collective use and use in public places (in a cafe, classroom, train station, exhibition, information center, hospital, etc.), all MRMs can be networked and connected to a control unit, through which all equipment is centrally turned on and inoperative is in energy-saving mode. When using MPM individually, for example, at home in the form of a tray, equipment in an idle state can be turned off and turned on when switched on by pressing the corresponding button on the input-output device.

To ensure the possibility of using MPM, the user must translate the necessary parts of the equipment into working position. To do this, he pulls out the roll-out shelf 9, on which input and output devices 14, for example, a keyboard and mouse, are fixed; lifts the lid 3 by the handle 19, thereby pushing the imaging device, for example, the display 15 from the box 4 until it completely appears above the work surface 1 and fixes it using the lifting and fixing mechanism 12. By pressing the start button on the input device- output it turns on / activates the equipment. MRM is ready to go. At the end of the work, the user pressing the appropriate buttons of the I / O device turns off / puts the equipment into energy-saving mode and returns the necessary parts of the equipment to the inoperative position, pushing the shelf 9 into the box 4 and lowering the display 15, holding the handle 19 until the cover 3 closes completely hole 2 on work surface 1.

The given example of the implementation of the proposed utility model shows the possibilities of manufacturing and widespread use of the claimed multifunctional workplace. It can be used for studies, work, for leisure activities, at public catering establishments as a table, shelf, stand or tray, as an information stand at exhibitions, in information points, as a chair / table of a speaker / speaker at conferences, in television / radio studios, in Internet cafes.
