ES2238535T3 - COMPONENT TO JOIN AN INSERTABLE PLATE WITH A TABLE PLATE. - Google Patents

Abstract

The mounting comprises a deformable holder (7) and a tab (8) which can be moved in it. The inwardly-curved arm (9) of the holder, rests its ends against the outer edges of the tab. Its outer sides rest against the holding component (3). The tab has two different widths. The larger permits the outer sides to rest against the holding component (3) whilst the smaller permits the mounting with the arms of the holder (7) to pass through the two adjacent holding components (3) on the table panel (2).

Description

Component for joining an insert plate with a table plate

Technical scope

The invention relates to the field of furniture, in particular tables, which by means of insertable plates can be Mounted in large configurations.

State of the art

It is known to furnish spaces with requirements variables, for example coffee shops, casinos, leisure spaces, or also conference, teaching and seminar rooms through table systems, in which different table plates shapes and sizes are chained together. They are often coupled insertable plates between tables with four-leg bases transversal.

Examples of such table systems are the systems "so one", "leggero" and "fiero" of the applicant. Another example is known from the patent document US 5560 302-A.

An important requirement in such systems is that the connection of an insert plate to a table plate is simple and fast The union must be carried out easily and quickly, and it must be separable, although robust and stable, with minimum production costs

Exhibition of the invention

Therefore, the object of the invention is to improve the joints of insertable plates to known table plates up to now so that the union can be done easily and be separable, although robust and stable, that can be produced with limited costs on a large scale, and that in assembled state it turns out Aesthetically pleasing appearance. With the new union must be able to also easily retrofit old table models.

This object is carried out by the characteristics of claim 1 and claims subordinates

The essential point of the invention is the idea of make the housing part of the component for the union of so that it can be tightened easily but stably among the fasteners of existing crossbars below the table plate, which is achieved by the movement of the tongue and the opening of the arms of the holding body attached thereto, and place and lock the retaining pins of the coupling piece in recesses of the tongue.

The component housing according to the invention can then be easily locked, but stable, to the table plate, and the hitch piece can be placed so quick and easy on the tongue of the housing part and nestled in it. In this way, tables with four-legged bases Transverse type of old construction can be Refillable without problems. Since the hitch piece it presents several successive conical retention pins, it is possible manufacturing the attachment of the insert plate to the plate table in different positions, so that the component according to the invention can be used in configuration table systems different.

Brief description of the drawings

The invention will be explained in detail to below by virtue of an embodiment shown in the drawings. They show:

Fig. 1, parts of a table plate and a insert plate from below with a joint by means of a component according to the invention,

Embodiments of the invention

In Fig. 1 they are represented from below a insert plate 1 and a table plate 2. To the table plate 2 crossbars 4 are fixed by means of fasteners 3, it is say screws and spacer washers. In the corner, the crossbars 4 are linked together by means of knots 5. In the insert plate 1 are provided correspondingly crossbars 14 united by means of a knot.

Between the crossbar 4 and the table plate 2 and the two clamping elements 3 the clamping body 7 is displaced with the tongue 8. The tongue 8 is dragged towards the plate insertable 1. Thus the arms 9 of the holding body 7 are open and adjust with their beading (not shown in this figure) fixedly to the fasteners 3, that is, the spacer washers. The accommodation piece is with it fixed firmly and not detachably to the table plate 2.

To the insert plate 1 it is fixedly screwed the hitch piece 6. Its retaining pins 15 are placed in recesses of the tongue 8 and locked by means of the handle 17.

In Fig. 2 the piece of housing with clamping body 7 and tongue 8. The body clamping 7 is made of reinforced polyamide (PA) plastic with fiberglass, and so it can be deformed by exercising a corresponding force The tongue 8 that crosses the body of Clamping 7 is made of sheet steel. It can be displaced in the clamping body 7 from the central position shown in the figure to the left, that is, away from the insert plate 1. As you can see, tab 8 presents to the left of the notches wider than to the right of the notches

On the lateral outer edge of the tongue 8 the arms 9 of the holding body 7 are supported. In addition heels of positioning 11 fit in the recesses of the tongue 8.

In the central position of the tongue 8 represented the arms 9 rest on the side edges there where the tongue 8 has the greatest width. With that the arms 9 are open and fit with the skirts on the sides externally fixed to the fasteners 3. The tongue 8 It is thus firmly fixed.

To be able to manually move the tab 8 in this position, on the right side of the tongue 8 which gives the insert plate 1 the edge of the sheet is combined upwards. This forms a handle, with which the tongue 8 can be pulled to the right. Additionally it is provided in the body of holding 7 a recessed handle 10, so that they can be Insert your fingers to grab the handle.

To the left of the grip edge you can see a perforation 12 and a recess 13, in which they can be the retaining pins 15 of the coupling piece inserted 6.

On the left end, the tongue 8 has a rounded so that moving the tongue does not damage the plate table.

If now the accommodation piece must be separated, then the tongue 8 is moved away from the plate insertable 1, that is, to the left in the figure. So, the positioning heels 11 and arms 9 of the retention body 7 will be placed on the outer edges of the tongue 8, where it has the smallest width. If now the accommodation piece to the right, arms 9 are pressed inwards by the clamping elements 3 and the piece of housing can be removed out of position between the plate Table 2 and crossbar 4.

In Fig. 3 the component according to the invention is shown in the locked state. The tongue 8 is in the central position, the housing part is thus fixed below the crossbar 4. The coupling piece 6 is placed with its retaining pins 15 in the corresponding recesses of the tongue 8. With the locking bar 16 the retention pins are locked in the tongue
8.

In Fig. 4 the piece of hitch 6. This is fixedly screwed to the underside of the insert plate 1 by means of screws guided through the perforations 18.

In section A-A you can see the latch 16 which runs through the pivots of retention 15 and is equipped with heels 19. It can be moved manually by pulling on the handle 17.

As you can see, in the represented state the heels 19 are fully inserted in the pivots of retention 15. These can thus be introduced without problems in the perforation 12 or recesses 13 of the tongue 8. Yes, no However, the locking bar 16 is then moved to the left of the figure, then heels 19 invade the sheet of the tongue 8 and therefore lock the hitch part 6 to the tab 8.
