Definitions

  • the invention relates to a system elements Table with a base and worktops supported by it.
  • the screen that is needed because of the Distance to the user logically arranged in a corner is aligned to an inside corner.
  • a keyboard, the corner in the direction of view and ergonomically favorable extendable below the height of the table top, is very unfavorable due to the table edge inside corner squeezed so that a sufficient footprint of the pull-out trays also for additional so-called "Tray" as required for working with CAD programs, for example is out of the question.
  • the invention has for its object a versatile combinable system elements to create that without annoying inside and outside corner angles can be realized and an ergonomically favorable arrangement of Elements of a data processing system, such as a screen, Keyboard etc. allowed.
  • a very long area of the inner edge facing the user largely align tangentially to the user and thus the side Movement of the office chair to reach the table surface minimize in the grip area.
  • the inner corner also falls diagonally placed screen and is replaced by a Vibration of the table edge expanded so far that under the Worktop for a slidable one perpendicular to the screen axis Tray space is gained, on the one hand, a flowing Screen spacing adjustment allows for fatigue-free Adaptation of the eyes is very important, and on the other hand sufficient space for the installation of a keyboard and a tray.
  • the outer edge also has a continuous one Vibration, causing it to move towards the one hand Moves the screen axis closer to the user's grip area, and the extension of the table to the rear is reduced, and on the other hand over the greatest possible length of the external vibration a tangential alignment of the conversation partners to each other allows.
  • one is open at the top Cable duct provided, which is at a distance from the table top formed individual sections, runs continuously and as Backbone connects nodes at which diagonally to the Cantilevered support arms with attachment points for the table tops and height-adjustable legs for load transfer to the floor, which are advantageously by their position at right angles to each other (as with a so-called passport) and through the connection stiffen each other in three levels to the cable duct.
  • the Nodes are preferably up and down towards Cable duct open so that cables run in any direction can be.
  • Additional elements can be added at the nodes at the bottom such as. Attach drawer boxes and upwards pipes that by aligning holes in the table top Allow additional levels above the table top level.
  • the invention allows extremely versatile combinations of the individual system elements to workplaces for one or a larger number of workers in very different arrangements and design options, which is an adaptation to the most varied Allow spatial conditions with maximum use of space.
  • Additional elements e.g. a turntable for a screen above the Tabletop and a pull-out tray for a PC keyboard below the table top in an ergonomically favorable Position from which the user moves to the other areas of the work table in a comfortable view and range.
  • Another advantage of the system according to the invention consists in a high stability and stability by the preferred support struts arranged at right angles to one another, above which are the worktop elements on the base support and which carry the legs, on which the workplace stands. This allows a great safety against tipping over, which is particularly important when the workplace for example, is loaded with heavy files or someone is involved want to support the table.
  • FIG. 1 The two shown in Fig. 1 different sizes System elements for a worktop are roughly shaped cut beans or still in the pericarp Peanuts, and because of this shape and priority
  • the inventor has his purpose for computer workplaces System given the name "cybernut".
  • a smaller plate element is designated 2, a larger one with 4.
  • the plate elements 2, 4 as well as the others, below Use the plate elements described on both sides, see above that one with a relatively small number of different System elements a large variety of workplace designs can combine, as explained in connection with FIG. 6 will be.
  • Fig. 1 in the plate elements Junction openings 6 in the form of openings, which the Implementation of cables and the attachment of supports for Serve additional elements.
  • attachment points 8 via which the plates are attached to support struts 10, which are in turn arranged at nodes 12, which via Rails 14 are interconnected.
  • the explanatory legs are the plate elements 2 and 4 in FIG. 2 illustrated as a transparent contour.
  • Figures 1 and 2 can also be seen in dash-dotted diagonal lines, lengthways which run the rails 14 and so in connection with the Support struts 10 arranged at 45 ° with respect to the rails provide optimal support for the panels.
  • the support struts 10 are arranged at right angles to each other and provide a so-called passport support, named after a gait found in the animal kingdom is and offers a high level of safety against tipping.
  • a turntable 16 is indicated by dashed lines in FIG. 2, which is placed at this point on the work table and carries the screen of a computer system.
  • One also dashed indicated pull-out plate 18 is below the table top arranged and carries the keyboard of the computer system that pulled out or pushed under the table as needed can.
  • the user of the workplace sits in the area of concave curvature and has the screen and the pull-out plate immediately in front of you, and you can see immediately that everyone Areas of his work table within optimal reach lie so that he has all working materials within reach Has.
  • FIG. 3 and 4 are three additional intermediate plate elements illustrates which with the plate elements 2 and 4 of FIG. 1 can be combined to different configurations can. Some examples of such configurations are in 6 illustrates that is not commented on in detail here have to be because they speak for themselves. You can easily see that symmetrical or asymmetrical combinations can be realized are in which the plate elements 2 and 4, respectively act as end elements.
  • 3b has the plate element approximately S-shaped shape, while the plate element according to FIG. 3a by cutting an S-shaped configuration according to Fig. 3c arose. 3b on both The element has the same system connection lengths 3a shows a shorter connection length on the left and a longer connection length on the right. With a combination of two elements according to Fig.
  • 3a results 3c, in which the two larger connection lengths 34a are joined so that for connection other elements the two shorter connection lengths 34 for To be available.
  • two parts can also 1a assembled with their shorter connection lengths are used so that system elements with a larger connection length can be.
  • the S-shaped intermediate plate element 3b is designated by 20, the plate element according to 3a with 22nd
  • the intermediate plate element 24 illustrated in FIG. 4 serves the realization of a star-shaped or propeller-shaped 5, in which three workstations are summarized.
  • the individual elements such as support struts 10, Rails 12, turntable 16, extension plate 18, etc. are already explained in connection with Fig. 2 and result in their Arrangement without further ado from FIG. 5.
  • the triangular arrangement of the middle part of the base, where the three rails 14 converge and a triangle 26 below the adjacent intermediate plate elements 24 form You can immediately see the optimal stability, which ensures this base.
  • the intermediate plate member 24 has two at an angle of 120 ° converging straight edges 28, which in the arrangement 5 on the corresponding edges of the adjacent Intermediate plate elements 24 abut, the 120 ° angle of this three plate elements complement each other to 360 °.
  • the intermediate plate element 34 also has a concavely curved inner edge 30 and a convexly curved outer edge 32, each with the adjacent straight edge 28 and the connection length 34 such angles form that when adding additional system parts continuous kink-free contour course is guaranteed how this can be seen from FIG. 5 and the numerous examples according to FIG. 6 is.
