Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a table, the table top of which is secured to a table frame or trestle that has at least two longitudinal members and at least two cross members that are displaceable relative to the longitudinal members, whereby the longitudinal members are interconnected with the cross members by connection elements, to which the table legs are secured.
  • DE 44 06 248 A1 discloses an office table, the frame of which comprises two parallel longitudinal members and at least two transverse members, which in the longitudinal direction are divided into partial sections along the longitudinal member, and are also displaceable in the transverse direction along cross bars.
  • This displaceability in the longitudinal and possibly also in the transverse direction is ensured by a complicated, trapezoidal tongue and groove joint between the side edges of the transverse members and the longitudinal or transverse bars.
  • connection elements that connect the longitudinal members with the cross members, in such a way that either the cross members can be displaced along the longitudinal members, or the longitudinal members can be displaced along the cross members, with such members being adapted to be fixed in various positions relative to one another.
  • FIG. 1 is an isometric partial view of one exemplary embodiment of an inventive table frame
  • FIG. 2 is an isometric exploded view of the inventive connection element
  • FIG. 3 is an isometric view of the connection of longitudinal and cross members of the table frame by means of the inventive connection element.
  • each connection element is provided with a base member having two intersecting mounting recesses for the longitudinal and cross members, wherein the mounting recesses have a shape that is essentially adapted to the outer profile of the longitudinal and cross members, and wherein the connecting element also has a securing element for fixing the longitudinal and cross members in position in their mounting recesses.
  • connection elements it is also possible to insert the longitudinal members and the cross members into the connection elements in such a way that the longitudinal members with the table legs secured thereto are displaced along the cross members, so that it is then possible to embody, for example, a table having a table top that projects laterally beyond the longitudinal members.
  • connection elements there are a plurality of possibilities, independently of the space that is available and the requirements placed upon a finished table, of mounting the table legs in various positions either along the cross members or along the longitudinal members.
  • connection element with the table legs secured thereto, can also be secured only either on one longitudinal member or on one cross member.
  • the table frame or trestle illustrated in FIG. 1 comprises longitudinal supports or members 1 and cross bars or members 2 , which have a flat upper side and are connected to form a frame by means of connection elements 3 .
  • Table legs 4 are secured to the connection elements 3 .
  • Secured on the upper side of the longitudinal members 1 are crosspieces 5 that in turn can be secured to the underside of a non-illustrated tabletop.
  • connection elements 3 comprises a base member 6 that is provided with two intersecting mounting recesses 7 and 8 for the cross members 2 and longitudinal members 1 respectively.
  • the shape of the mounting recesses 7 and 8 is essentially adapted to the outer profile of the longitudinal and cross members in such a way that the side walls and undersides of the longitudinal and cross members are closely surrounded by the boundary edges and surfaces of the mounting recesses 7 and 8 .
  • the mounting recesses 7 and 8 are open toward the upper side of the base member 6 , on which can be secured a securing element, preferably in the form of a clamping plate 9 , which extends over the mounting recesses 7 and 8 and the surrounding region.
  • each of the mounting recesses 7 and 8 is adapted to the height of the longitudinal or cross member such that in the final assembled state, the upper sides of the longitudinal and cross members are flush with one another.
  • Those regions of the base member 6 that are adjacent to the mounting recesses 7 and 8 have a planar upper surface 10 for fastening the clamping plate 9 , for example with screws.
  • the upper surface 10 is surrounded by an upwardly projecting rim 13 .
  • the elongation of one of the two mounting recesses of the base member 6 in FIG. 2 for example in the elongation of the mounting recess 7 , is provided with an extension 11 for securing, for example with screws or bolts, the base member 6 to a table leg 4 .
  • the upper side of the extension 11 is disposed lower than the base of the mounting recess 7 .
  • the base member 6 with the extension 11 disposed thereon, preferably has the shape of a small boat.
  • the longitudinal member 1 is mounted in the associated mounting recess 8 so as to extend beyond both sides of the base member 6 , while the cross member 2 is inserted into the associated mounting recess 7 until it comes to rest against the longitudinal member 1 .
  • FIG. 3 it would be possible to insert a further, non-illustrated support member into the still exposed portion of the mounting recess 7 , for example for supporting a table top extension or the like; such a further support member can also be fixed in place by means of the clamping plate 9 .
  • connection element 3 with a table leg 4 secured thereon, can also be secured along the longitudinal member 1 at any desired location, ever without a cross member 2 being inserted into the connection element. It is furthermore also possible to insert a cross member 2 into the base member 6 such that it extends through the entire mounting recess 7 , whereby the longitudinal member 1 can then be inserted into the base member 6 , in other words into the mounting recess 8 , only on one side and until it comes to rest against the cross member 2 .
  • FIG. 2 illustrates a cover plate 4 that can be secured in a clamping manner against the extension 11 in order to provide a closed profile toward the outside.
