Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to a height adjustable or vertically adjustable table according to the preamble to claim 1, and specifically to a combined cocktail and coffee table.
  • a table of this kind is disclosed in patent speci- fication CH-665537.
  • the table has a movable upper part which comprises a table-top and a shelf portion.
  • the upper part is movable between a lowered position where the table-top is on a level with a surrounding table surface, and a raised position where the table-top is positioned a distance above the surrounding table surface, and the shelf portion is accessible.
  • the upper part can be locked in the lowered position by being rotated on its vertical axis.
  • the release of the upper part requires a corresponding rotary motion, in which the upper part is pressed upwards to its raised position where it cannot be locked.
  • the table according to CH-665537 is in the first place intended to be a high table, a club table. This means that there is plenty of space between the table-top and the base to accommodate the adjusting mechanism which consists of two telescoping tubular elements and a gas spring arranged therein.
  • the table according to CH-665537 cannot be used as a coffee table since a coffee table must not be higher than 50-55 cm. With a construction according to CH-665537, the space between the shelf and the underside of the table- top will then be restricted so that only small bottles can be accommodated. The purpose of the concealed bar is then not achieved in its entirety.
  • a second object of the invention is to provide a vertically adjustable table which efficiently uses the space between the table surface and the base.
  • the spring means is an unresilient gas spring of the type which with the aid of a valve means is lockable in an optional position. This ensures that the gas spring cannot be actuated in any direction without the valve means opening.
  • the gas spring preferably comprises a cylinder and a piston with a piston head which fits closely against the inner wall of the cylinder, and the valve means comprises preferably a valve in the piston head and an operating means 14 for operating the valve.
  • the table comprises a second table-top which is fixedly arranged relative to the lower part, in which case, when the upper part is in a lowered position, the table-tops are extended in a com- mon plane and, when the upper part is in a raised position, the table-tops are extended in parallel planes.
  • only part of the total surface of the table is vertically adjustable, which allows greater flexibility in use.
  • the original height of the table is often required also when the table is raised so as to make objects stored therein accessible.
  • the upper part is preferably arranged in a recess in the second table-top so that, when the upper part is in a lowered position, the first table-top fills up the recess in the second table-top. This results in a single continuous surface when the upper part is in its lowered position.
  • the upper part also comprises at least one shelf element which is posi- tioned below the first table-top. This shelf element may then constitute a storage place for objects which, when the upper part in its lowered position, are located under the table surface.
  • the vertically adjustable table according to the invention can, for example, but not exclusively, be used as a coffee table or a cocktail table.
  • Fig. 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of the table according to the invention in a lowered position.
  • a gas spring 13 with unresilient locking is arranged in the telescoping tubes 6, 8.
  • the specially made gas spring 13 can be adjusted and locked in the desired posi- tion with the aid of a valve means.
  • the valve means is operable with the aid of an operating means 14.
  • the gas spring comprises an outer cylinder which has two chambers separated by a movable partition. One chamber holds a pressurised gas, such as air, and the other holds a non-compressible liquid, such as oil.
  • a piston extends into the oil chamber and has a piston head which fits closely against the inside of the cylinder and thus divides the oil chamber into two halves.
  • a valve is arranged in the piston head to permit the passing of oil from one half to the other.
  • the gas can expand, whereby the piston is pressed out of the cylinder and oil flows from one half of the chamber to the other.
  • the piston can be pressed into the cylinder, in which case oil flows in the opposite direction and the gas is compressed.
  • this type of gas spring is therefore referred to an unresilient gas spring, in contrast to a resilient gas spring with locking, which is to be found in, for example, office chairs.
  • the piston 13a of the gas spring is displaceable towards the lower part 2
  • the cylinder 13b of the gas spring is displaceable towards the upper part 3.
  • the gas spring 13 is oriented in such manner that the operating means 14 of the valve means is position- ed adjacent to the base plate 4 of the lower part 2.
  • a lever means 15, in the shown example a pedal 16, is further arranged on the base plate 4.
  • the pedal 16 is adapted to convert a downward force at its end 16a facing away from the gas spring 13 into an upward force which is applied to the operating means 14 of the valve means.
  • the table 1 shown in Figs 1-4 further comprises a console 21 comprising a bottom 22, four walls 23 and a stationary table surface 24.
  • the bottom 22 and the four walls 23 thus form a box-like space 25, in which the lower part 2 and the upper part 3 are arranged one in the other.
  • the console 21 can be made of an arbitrary material, suitable for furniture, for example wood, glass or metal .
  • the shelf 10 has essentially the same dimension as the surface area of the space 25, and resilient support rollers 17 are arranged on the sides 10a of the shelf.
  • the support rollers 17 thus ensure that the upper part runs on the walls 23 of the console 21 without getting stuck or being inclined (the so-called drawer effect) .
  • the shelf 10 finally abuts against the underside 24b of the stationary table surface 24, i.e. the underside of the edge 24a which defines the recess 26.
  • the shelf 10 forms the bottom 31 of a tray-like space 32, and the edges 24a of the table surface 24, which define the recess 26, constitute the border 33 of the tray 32.
  • the stability of the upper part 3 is at its maximum in this position since the shelf 10 has an abutment surface 24b against the table surface 24, which abutment surface 24b extends along at least parts of, and in the preferred case round the entire, circumference of the shelf 10.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une table (1) réglable verticalement, comprenant une partie supérieure (3) dotée d'un premier dessus de table (9) et d'un élément tubulaire (8) attaché à celui-ci, et une partie inférieure (2) située sur une base et pourvue d'un second élément tubulaire (6). Les deux éléments tubulaires (6, 8) sont disposés de manière télescopique, permettant ainsi une infinité de déplacements verticaux de la partie supérieure entre au moins une position baissée et au moins une position relevée. Un élément ressort est placé entre les parties supérieure et inférieure en vue de permettre le déplacement de la partie supérieure entre la position baissée et la position relevée, sous l'effet de forces s'exerçant entre les parties supérieure et inférieure. L'élément ressort est un ressort à gaz non élastique (13) pouvant être verrouillé dans un position optionnelle à l'aide d'une valve (16), et pouvant être actionné grâce à un levier (15) en vue de déplacer la partie supérieure dans la position souhaitée.
