Workplace furniture with a furniture frame made of vertical columns and 5 cross beams

The invention relates to workstation furniture with a furniture frame supporting furniture panels with at least two spaced, vertical columns, which are designed as 0 hollow profiles and are provided at least on the facing profile sides with at least two rows of suspension slots, into which bow-shaped connectors with suspension hooks of cross members can be suspended, the crossbar is connected to a furniture panel.

-. Such furniture is known because it can be easily placed under and over one

Storage plate used furniture plate offer the possibility to hang adapter parts by means of additional crossbars on the vertical columns and to brace them, as DE 39 1 6 095 C2 shows on the basis of a shelf structure.

0 With modern workplace furniture, there is an increasing need to switch off even heavy additional equipment, such as computers, monitor devices and the like. For this purpose, resilient storage and storage plates are to install workstation furniture at different heights below and / or above the worktop on the furniture frame.

It is an object of the invention to be able to quickly and subsequently attach furniture panels which protrude to the front and / or rear side of the workplace furniture in a simple manner as high-strength storage and storage panels in different height positions.

This object is achieved according to the invention in that the underside of the furniture panel is connected to two support arms directed perpendicular to the crossbar, the crossbar being received and connected to a support arm support that is open towards the furniture panel, and that the end faces of the Crossbar are provided with end pieces, in which bow-shaped connectors can be adjusted to a limited extent in the longitudinal direction of the crossbar and can be clamped with them after hanging in the columns.

The vertical columns with the rows of hanging slots, which can also protrude upwards over the worktop, offer attachment options in the grid of the hanging slots. The crossbar connected to the furniture panel is fixed to the vertical columns with the end parts and the connectors that can be adjusted and tensioned therein. The furniture plate carried by means of support arms can be attached to the pillars in a cantilever manner to the front or rear of the workstation furniture, the support arms being attached to the crossbar in a projecting manner and additionally fastened to the underside of the furniture plate. This means that the furniture plate can be attached to the vertical columns with a high load capacity. can be brought and there are sufficient variation possibilities for the height adjustment and the alignment on the workstation furniture.

If it is provided that the crossbars are designed as hollow profile sections and have longitudinal grooves, in particular longitudinal T-grooves, on their outer profile sides, then all outer profile sides of the crossbar carrying the furniture panel can be used as additional fastening planes, the

Longitudinal grooves can also be undercut as longitudinal T-grooves and can accommodate sliding nuts.

Since the crossbeam is inserted in receptacles of the support arms, an embodiment is advantageous which is characterized in that the crossbeams have the same outer profile sides at an angle of 60 ° and carry several longitudinal grooves running in the longitudinal direction of the crossbeam on each outer profile side , The crossbar can then be inserted in any position in the receptacles of the support arms.

If, according to one embodiment, it is provided that the support arms have fastening lugs aligned in the support plane of the furniture plate, of which at least one fastening lug closes the receptacle for the crossbar and another fastening lug forms the free end of the support arm, then the furniture plate can be easily connected to the support arms, eg be screwed.

The connection between the support arms and the crossbar is solved in a simple manner in that the support arms are formed from two support arm sections which start from the crossbar and with mounting sections the receptacle form for the crossbar and are screwed to the crossbar with these fastening sections. The longitudinal grooves of the crossbar are used again as connecting elements, for example for receiving sliding nuts. The support arm sections can have different dimensions to the crossbar.

The support arm sections are preferably designed and manufactured as punched and bent parts.

According to one embodiment, the attachment of the end parts to the crossbar is solved in such a way that the end parts have a mounting bracket, the side legs of which are angled at right angles and an undercut

Form the receptacle for the connector and that the end parts of the receptacle are connected with a V-shaped angle, with which the end part is screwed to the crossbar.

The invention is explained in more detail using an exemplary embodiment shown in the drawings. Show it:

1 is a front view of a unit made of furniture board, crossbar with both ends and two support arms,

2 shows the unit according to FIG. 1 with the mounting level for the furniture panel, Fig. 3 shows a view of an end face of the unit according to FIG. 1, 0

4 in two views a support arm consisting of two support arm sections,

Fig. 5 in perspective view a bow-shaped connector with 5 clamping wedges and

Fig. 6 in two views on an enlarged scale a closing part.

As can be seen from the views according to FIGS. 1 to 3, a furniture plate 10, two support arms made of support arm sections 20 and 21, a crossbar 30 with both end parts 40 are assembled to form a unit, which as a whole with two spaced-apart columns ( not shown) furniture frame can be connected. This will be discussed in more detail.

The furniture plate 1 0 is connected to at least two composite support arms, the support arm sections 20 and 21 in the support plane = attachment level of the furniture plate 10, i.e. the underside of which are provided with fastening tabs 20.1 and 20.2. The support arm sections 20 and 21, formed as stamped and bent parts, form a type of open hollow profile that extends to the underside of the

Furniture plate 1 0 is open and tapers towards the protruding end of the support arms. The support arm sections 20 form a fastening possibility for the furniture plate 1 0 at the free end with the fastening ashes 20.1. The support arm section 20 is provided with fastening tabs 20.3 and 20.4 with which in the receptacle Me 22 introduced crossbar 30 connected, which is designed as a hollow profile section and is adapted with its outer profile sides to the cross section of the receptacles 22 of the support arm sections 20 and 21. The outer profile sides of the crossmember 30, like the fastening sections 20.3, 20.4 and 27 of the support arm sections 20 and 21, are at an angle of 60 ° to one another in order to enable assembly in any position of the crossmember 30. To facilitate the attachment of the assembled support arms to the crossbar 30, everyone carries

The outer profile sides of the same have a plurality of longitudinal grooves 31, in particular longitudinal T-grooves, which can accommodate sliding nuts. The support arm sections 20 and 21 can therefore be easily screwed onto each outer profile side of the crossbar 30, as shown in FIG. 4 clarified with its two views.

As Fig. 6 shows, the crossbeam 30 carries, at both ends, end pieces 40, which form open but undercut receptacles 41 towards the columns (not shown), can be inserted into the bow-shaped connectors 50 according to FIG. 5 and therein perpendicular to the columns, ie in Longitudinal direction of the crossbar 30 are limited adjustable. The adjustment can take over a clamping screw, which connects the end part 40 and connector 50 to one another. The connector 50 can carry tensioning webs 53 on the side legs 51, so that it can be adjusted by means of appropriately bent tensioning wedges 60 with bevels 61 in the receptacle 41 of the end part 40 and can thus be braced with the facing column. The side legs 51 with the hooks 52 are matched to the spacing of the rows of slots and the division of the slots in the profile sides of the columns, so that the units supplemented with the connectors 50 according to FIG. 1 to 3 easily hung on the furniture frame and can be fixed in the end parts 40 by adjusting the connector 50. The cross traverse 30 with the furniture panel 10 is adapted in its dimensions to the distance between the columns of the furniture frame.
