Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a table comprising a table top of a predetermined thickness, at least one vertically adjustable leg with a vertical adjustment device and at least one fixing device for fixing the leg to the table top.
- Vertically adjustable tables are known in numerous different versions. Thus, the number of legs may vary from a single, powerfully dimensioned central column to two or perhaps even four separate legs. Vertical adjustment takes place by means of adjustment devices integrated in the legs which may be operated either manually or electrically.
- In the alternative involving electric operation, the drive motor is integrated in the leg or the legs. Power for the drive motor is taken from the mains via a transformer.
- In the alternative involving a plurality of legs, there are moreover required control electronics which ensure that the drive motors in the different legs cause the legs to "march in step". Electrically operated legs moreover require extensive wiring on the underside of the table, and in addition wiring to the individual legs. This naturally implies that the underside of the table will become cluttered and that there are certain risks that, if a foreign object were to stand under a thus designed table when the table top is lowered so far that the object may come into contact with the wiring or components mounted on the underside of the table and possibly damage them.
- The present invention has for its object to improve the table intimated by way of introduction such that the drawbacks inherent in the prior art technology are obviated. In particular, the present invention has for its object to design the table such that, taking as the point of departure a table top and components mounted thereon, it is possible to optionally retrofit one of several alternative legs. The present invention also has for its object to design the table so that its underside will, as far as possible, be free of wiring and other devices.
- The objects forming the basis of the present invention will be attained if the table intimated by way of introduction is characterised in that the fixing device is designed to be at least partly recessed and secured in the table top from beneath, that the drive motor is disposed in the fixing device and that the leg is fixable in the fixing device and its vertical adjustment device connectable to the drive motor.
- The present invention will now be described in greater detail hereinbelow, with reference to the accompanying Drawings. In the accompanying Drawings;
- Fig. 1
- is a perspective view from beneath of a part of a table top and a vertically adjustable leg according to the present invention mounted thereon;
- Fig. 2
- is a view corresponding to that of
Fig. 1 , but with certain components cut away and presented as an exploded view; and - Fig. 3
- shows the device illustrated in
Fig. 2 seen obliquely from above. - Referring to the Drawings, in
Fig. 1 reference numeral 1 relates to a table top or a part thereof,reference numeral 2 to a vertically adjustable furniture leg and reference numeral 3 to an anchorage for fixing the furniture leg to thetable top 1. - As regards the
table top 1, this may be of any optional shape and any optional dimensions apart from in one respect, namely its thickness. Thus, a plurality of different table tops with different surface materials and different designs in other respects, and which thereby may belong to a plurality of different furniture series, may be used according to the present invention. - One common method of constructing a
table top 1 entails that the table top, on its upper side, has an upper surface layer consisting of a panel material and on its underside of a lower surface layer, this also consisting of a panel material such as MDF panel or HDF panel. On the visible sides of the panel material, there is some suitable surface coating such as lacquer or paintwork, foil cladding, veneer or a coating consisting of a suitable high pressure laminate. Between the two surface layers, there is disposed a spacer material which is of low weight and which, for example, may consist of expanded plastic but may also consist of a fluted structure of paperboard or paper. The interconnection of the two surface layers and the spacer material takes place by gluing. Along the periphery of the table top there is an edge bead or strip and possibly inside this a reinforcing framework. Table tops of the type outlined here normally display a thickness of the order of magnitude of 50 mm, but lesser and greater thicknesses may also come into consideration. - According to the present invention, the
furniture leg 2 has at least two mutually vertically adjustable sections, alower section 4 and anupper section 5. How these sections are guided in relation to one another is of no consequence according to the present invention, but one embodiment may be of the type illustrated in the Drawing, where both of thesections - Interiorly in the
furniture leg 2, there is disposed a vertical adjustment device for adjustment of the relative positions between the twoleg sections furniture leg 2 proper and is fixedly mounted therein. - As is apparent principally from
Figs. 2 and3 , theupper section 5 of thefurniture leg 2 displays an anchorage in the form of a laterally projectingfixing flange 6. Regardless of how the rest of thefurniture leg 2 is constructed and designed, thisfixing flange 6 is standardised and thus has the same formation and dimensions on a plurality of different conceivablealternative furniture legs 2. - The vertical adjustment device interiorly disposed in the
furniture leg 2 has a drive coupling 7 (seeFig. 3 ) which, in the embodiment illustrated in the figures, is in the form of a drive shaft displaying, for example, polygonal cross section. The design is such that thedrive shaft 7 may, in the axial direction, be inserted in a correspondingly, possibly complementary, designed recess. - For fixing the
furniture leg 2 on thetable top 1, use is made of a fixing device which, in its entirety, carriesreference numeral 8. Thisfixing device 8 is in the form of a box with anupper wall 9 and acircumferential wall 10. In one practical version, the fixing device may have a square or substantially rectangular design. Along the lower edge of thecircumferential wall 10, there is disposed a laterally projectingfixing surface 11 in the form of a projecting flange. - The
fixing device 8 is secured in thetable top 1 in that it is at least partly countersunk from beneath and up into the material of the table top. In the illustrated embodiment, the dimensioning is made in such a manner that the upper side of theupper wall 9 of the fixing device abuts against the lower side of the upper panel material of the table top and is fixedly glued in position there. Correspondingly, the laterally projectingfixing surface 11 of thefixing device 8 abuts against the underside of the lower panel material of the table top and is fixedly glued thereagainst. The spacer material which was in position in the region of the fixing device has been removed so that the fixing device is countersunk in the table top. As a result of large gluing surfaces, the construction will be extremely strong and rigid and, because of thecircumferential wall 10 of thefixing device 8, implies no local weakening of the table top. - Regardless of how the
fixing device 8 is recessed in thetable top 1, the distance between the upper side of theupper wall 9 and the upper side of theflange 11 is adapted such that gluing in position can take place. - The
fixing device 8 is dimensioned and designed in such a manner that there may be disposed therein adrive motor 12 and areduction gear 13. Both of these components should be considered as components integrated in the fixing device. - In certain cases, depending upon the design of the vertical adjustment device disposed in the
furniture leg 2, thereduction gear 13 may possibly be dispensed with. - In the embodiment illustrated on the Drawings, the
reduction gear 13 has anoutput drive coupling 14 for cooperation with thedrive coupling 7 of thefurniture leg 2. In the illustrated embodiment, the drive coupling is designed as a sleeve which per se may accommodate the shaft-shapeddrive coupling 7 on the furniture leg and realise a rotational interconnection between them. - In the illustrated embodiment, the dimensions of the
drive motor 12 and thereduction gear 13 are such that thefixing device 8 cannot display fully square configuration, but has an outward bulging 15 which accommodates a certain part of thedrive motor 12. The outward bulging 15 also displays the above mentionedcircumferential wall 10. Suitably, there may be provided in this outward bulge a cable passage for connection of an electric cable connected to thedrive motor 12. - In the transitional region between the
circumferential wall 10 of thefixing device 8 and the laterally projectingflange 11, there are provided fixing elements for interconnection withcorresponding fixing elements 16 on thefurniture leg 2. In one practical version, thefixing device 8 is produced by injection moulding in plastic, die casting in a suitable metal alloy, or by other suitable means. In such embodiments, the fixing elements of the fixingdevice 8 are formed as threaded bushings for accommodating corresponding screws which extend throughapertures 16 in the fixingflange 6 of thefurniture leg 2. In such instance, the positioning and the mutual spacing between the fixing elements of the fixingdevice 8 and thefurniture leg 2 are standardised so that onefixing device 8 can cooperate with any one furniture leg selected from among a plurality of different alternatives and otherwise differently designed furniture legs. The same relationship applies to both of thedrive couplings fixing device 8. - The present invention is not restricted to the above-described
table top 1 of lightweight type, but other types of table tops may also be employed. For example, table tops produced from solid wood, laminated board, different forms of panel material such as chipboard, MDF board, HDF board etc. - On making the recesses in which the
fixing device 8 is disposed, the depth of the recess is adapted in such a manner that theupper wall 9 of the fixingdevice 8 may be glued against a corresponding surface in the bottom of the recess and the projectingflange 11 against the underside of the table top I or against the bottom of a recess therein. - For driving the
drive motor 12, use is normally made of a mains-connected transformer. According to the present invention, this transformer is appropriately recessed in from beneath into the material of thetable top 1 so that it does not encroach upon the space under the table. The wiring leads to thedrive motor 12 are disposed to thefixing device 8, which thereby avoids more or less specifically adapted wiring to the different legs mounted on a table if the drive motor is mounted interiorly therein together with the vertical adjustment device. - The present invention should not be considered as restricted to that described above and shown on the Drawings, many modifications being conceivable without departing from the scope of the appended Claims.
