Abstract

An improved item of furniture, especially a table with a cable channel, is characterized by the following features: on a mounting device there are base bodies lying offset from one another and positioned in the longitudinal direction of the cable channel. On each of the base bodies there is a support rail, each pivotable around a rotating axis, between a cabling position hanging down and a support position facing it and extending at least for the most part parallel to the cable channel, in the operating position the cable channel is raised up so far that the rotating axis lies underneath the cable channel. An abutment, lying offset from the rotating axis, is constructed on the support rails, wherein the cable channel in the dropped cabling position directly or indirectly rests on the abutment in a lower lying plane relative to the raised operating position.

Description

Möbel mit KabelkanalFurniture with cable channel
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Möbel, insbesondere einen Ar- beits- oder Bürotisch mit einem Kabelkanal.The invention relates to a piece of furniture, in particular a work or office table with a cable duct.
Es ist bekannt, auf der Unterseite von Büro- und Arbeitstischen Kabelkanäle vorzusehen, in denen die für die Elektrifizierung, Büroarbeitsplätze etc. benötigten Strom- und Netzwerkkabel usw. verlegt werden können.It is known to provide on the bottom of office and work desks cable channels in which the required for the electrification, office workplaces, etc. power and network cables, etc. can be laid.
Zum Teil befinden sich diese Kabelkanäle in einem ausreichenden Abstand unterhalb der Unterseite einer Tischplatte, um einen Abstandsraum bereit zu stellen, worüber die Kabel in den Kabelkanal hineingelegt werden können.In part, these cable ducts are located at a sufficient distance below the underside of a table top to provide a distance space over which the cables can be placed in the cable duct.
Es ist auch bereits vorgeschlagen worden, eine Arbeitsoder Tischplatte verschiebbar oder um eine Horizontalachse aufklappbar zu gestalten, um an den darunter befindlichen Kabelkanal zu gelangen.It has also been proposed to make a work or table top slidable or hinged about a horizontal axis, to get to the underlying cable channel.
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es eine weitere Verbesserung zu schaffen, die es mit einfachen Mitteln er- laubt, einen Kabelkanal gut zugänglich zu machen, um eine Verkabelung leicht und problemlos durchführen zu können.The object of the present invention is to provide a further improvement which can be achieved by simple means. allows a cable duct to be easily accessible in order to be able to carry out cabling easily and without problems.
Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß entsprechend den im An- spruch 1 angegebenen Merkmalen gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.The object is achieved according to the invention in accordance with the features specified in claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in the subclaims.
Mit der vorliegenden Erfindung wird eine einfache aber sehr effiziente Lösung geschaffen, um einen Kabelkanal - wie er üblicherweise an der Unterseite einer Arbeits- oder Tischplatte vorgesehen ist - zwischen einer Funktionsstellung und einer Verkabelungsstellung zu verstellen, in welcher er gut zugänglich ist, um entsprechende Kabel im Kabelkanal zu verlegen und bei Bedarf wieder zu entfernen.With the present invention, a simple but very efficient solution is provided to a cable duct - as it is usually provided on the underside of a work or table top - to adjust between a functional position and a wiring position in which it is easily accessible to appropriate cable to be laid in the cable duct and to be removed if necessary.
In der Funktionsstellung ist dabei der Kabelkanal wie üblich unterhalb der Tischplatte vorgesehen, wobei er gemäß der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung fast ohne relevanten Abstand zur Unterseite der Tischplatte angeordnet sein kann. Dadurch ergibt sich eine raumsparende Anordnung, in der sichergestellt ist, dass die Beinfreiheit nicht nachteilig unterhalb der Tischplatte beschränkt wird.In the functional position of the cable channel is provided as usual below the table top, where it can be arranged according to the solution according to the invention almost without relevant distance to the underside of the table top. This results in a space-saving arrangement in which it is ensured that the legroom is not adversely limited below the table top.
Um eine Verkabelung leicht und einfach vornehmen zu können, kann der Kabelkanal aber von dieser angehobenen Funktionsstellung in eine demgegenüber abgesenkte Verkabelungsstellung gebracht werden, in der ein vergleichsweise großer Abstandsraum zwischen der Oberseite des Kabelkanals und der Tisch- oder Arbeitsplattenunterseite zur Verfügung steht.In order to make cabling easy and simple, but the cable channel can be brought from this raised functional position in a lowered contrast cabling position in which a comparatively large distance space between the top of the cable channel and the table or worktop base is available.
Der erfindungsgemäße Kabelkanal ist dabei beispielsweise über einen oder vorzugsweise zumindest über zwei in Längsrichtung des Kabelkanals versetzt vorgesehene Grundkörper gehalten, die beispielsweise an der Tischplattenunterseite oder bevorzugt an einem unterhalb der Tischplatte parallel zum Kabelkanal verlaufenden Längsholm getragen oder verankert sind. Dieser Längsholm verbindet beispielsweise die eher stirnseitig vorgesehenen Trag- und Fußkonstruktionen des Tisches.The cable channel according to the invention is for example held over one or preferably at least two in the longitudinal direction of the cable channel provided base body, which are for example supported or anchored to the underside of the tabletop or preferably at a running below the table top parallel to the cable channel longitudinal spar. This longitudinal spar connects, for example, the rather frontally provided support and foot constructions of the table.
Erfindungsgemäß sind nunmehr vorzugsweise zwei in Längsrichtung des Kabelkanals versetzt angeordnete Halteschienen vorgesehen, längs derer der Kabelkanal von seiner angehobenen Funktionsstellung in die Verkabelungsstellung abgesenkt werden kann. In dieser abgesenkten Stellung ist der Kabelkanal anschlagsbegrenzt gehalten. Entsprechend der Länge der Halteschiene wird ein ausreichender Abstandsraum zur Tischunterseite zur Durchführung der Verkabelung bereitgestellt. Nach Beendigung der Verkabelung kann der Kabelkanal wieder längs der vorzugsweise zumin- dest beiden Halteschienen angehoben werden, bis der Kabelkanal in seiner kennzeichnenden oberen Funktionsstellung wiederum verankert wird. Die Verankerung kann durch entsprechend geeignete Maßnahmen beispielsweise am Grundkörper erfolgen.According to the invention now preferably two in the longitudinal direction of the cable channel staggered retaining rails are provided, along which the cable channel can be lowered from its raised functional position in the wiring position. In this lowered position, the cable channel is kept stop limited. Corresponding to the length of the retaining rail, a sufficient clearance space is provided to the underside of the table for carrying out the wiring. After completion of the wiring of the cable channel can be raised again along the preferably at least two retaining rails until the cable channel is anchored again in its characteristic upper functional position. The anchoring can be done by appropriate measures, for example, on the body.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform durchsetzen die Halteschienen den Kabelkanal, wozu dieser mit entsprechenden Durchlassöffnungen versehen ist. Dabei sind die Halteschienen bevorzugt um eine oben liegende, horizontale Ver- schwenkachse beispielsweise mit dem erwähnten Grundkörper verbunden, so dass der Kabelkanal soweit angehoben werden kann, dass die horizontale Verschwenkachse unterhalb des Kabelkanals zu liegen kommt. Dies ermöglicht, dass die in abgesenkter Position des Kabelkanals mehr oder weniger vertikal herabhängenden Halteschienen um ihre oben liegende, vertikale Verschwenkachse beispielsweise um 90' verschwenkt werden können, bis sie parallel zum Kabelkanal an dessen Unterseite verlaufen und über einen dort vorgesehenen Fixiermechanismus, vorzugsweise einen Klapp- oder Klickmechanismus mit der Kabelkanalunterseite verbunden sind. Dadurch wird gleichzeitig der Kabelkanal gehalten.In a preferred embodiment, the support rails pass through the cable channel, for which purpose it is provided with corresponding passage openings. In this case, the retaining rails are preferably connected to an overhead, horizontal pivot axis, for example with the mentioned base body, so that the cable channel can be raised so far that the horizontal pivot axis comes to lie below the cable channel. This allows the in lowered position of the cable channel more or less vertically suspended support rails can be pivoted about their overhead vertical pivot axis, for example, 90 'until they run parallel to the cable channel on the underside and a fixing mechanism provided there, preferably a folding or clicking mechanism with the cable channel bottom are connected. As a result, the cable channel is held at the same time.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die Halteschienen an einer oder zumindest vorzugsweise zwei gegenüberliegenden Seiten, vorzugsweise an ihren gegenüberliegenden Schmalseiten mit einer Riffe- lung versehen sind, deren maximaler Außenabstand so an die Durchtrittsöffnung in dem Kabelkanal angepasst ist, dass dieser nicht frei längs der Halteschiene bei herunter geschwenkter Halteschiene herunter fallen kann, sondern aufgrund einer dadurch bedingten Reibwirkung langsam herunter geschoben werden kann.In a preferred embodiment of the invention it is provided that the retaining rails are provided on one or at least two opposite sides, preferably on their opposite narrow sides with a Riffe- ment whose maximum outer distance is adapted to the passage opening in the cable channel that this is not can fall freely along the support rail downwardly retracted retaining rail, but can be slowly pushed down due to a frictional effect caused by it.
Die Halteschienen sind ,wie erwähnt, bevorzugt über Grundkörper gehalten, die von dem erwähnten Längsholm - der die bevorzugte Trageinrichtung für die Grundkörper bildet - seitlich wegragen und an diesem befestigt werden können. Dabei sind die Grundkörper dem Längsholm zugewandt liegend mit einem Einhängansatz und mit einem gegenüberliegenden Klemmansatz versehen, wodurch sie lösbar am Tragholm befestigt sind. Der Klemmansatz kann dabei bevorzugt über eine Schwenkverbindung dauerhaft mit dem Grundkörper ver- bunden sein, beispielsweise über ein Schwenk- oder Filmscharnier.The support rails are, as mentioned, preferably held above the base body, which project laterally from the aforementioned longitudinal beam - which forms the preferred support means for the base body and can be attached thereto. In this case, the main body facing the longitudinal spar lying are provided with a suspension set and with an opposite clamping collar, whereby they are releasably secured to the spar. The clamping attachment can preferably be permanently connected to the base body via a pivot connection, for example via a pivoting or film hinge.

Figuren 3a entsprechen den Darstellungen der Figuren bis 3c : 2a bis 2c, wobei jedoch gegenüber den Figuren 2a bis 2c der Kabelkanal in seine abgesenkte Stellung verstellt ist.3a correspond to the representations of the figures to 3c: 2a to 2c, but with respect to the figures 2a to 2c, the cable channel is moved to its lowered position.
Nachfolgend wird ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung erläutert.Hereinafter, an embodiment of the invention will be explained.
In den Figuren Ia und Ib ist der Teil eines Arbeits- oder Bürotisches 1 wiedergegeben worden, als Beispiel für ein Möbel oder Möbelstück, an welchem ein nachfolgend noch erläuterter Kabelkanal 3 vorgesehen ist. Das Ausführungsbeispiel wird nachfolgend an dem erwähnten Arbeits- oder Bürotisch 1 erläutert, von dem in Figur Ia beispielsweise die rechte Stirnseite mit einer Fußkonstruktion 5 wiedergegeben ist, die aus einem Doppel-T-Fuß besteht (bzw. einem C ähnlichen Fuß) , wobei jede beliebige Fußkonstruktion vorgesehen sein kann. Da es sich im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel um eine L-förmige Winkel- Tisch-Konstruktion handelt, ist gegenüberliegend zu der in Figur Ia vorne liegenden Fußkonstruktion 5 ein winklig ausgerichteter Einzelfuß 51 vorgesehen, der dann in dem Eckbereich einer in Figur Ia nur teilweise dargestellten Winkel-Tisch-Kombination zu liegen kommt.In the figures Ia and Ib, the part of a work or office table 1 has been reproduced, as an example of a piece of furniture or piece of furniture, on which a cable channel 3, which will be explained below, is provided. The exemplary embodiment is explained below on the mentioned work or office table 1, of which in FIG. 1 a, for example, the right front side is shown with a foot construction 5 which consists of a double T-foot (or a C-like foot), each one Any foot construction can be provided. Since it is an L-shaped angle table construction in the embodiment shown, opposite to the front foot structure 5 in FIG. 1a, an angularly aligned individual foot 5 1 is provided which then in the corner region of an angle only partially shown in FIG Table combination comes to rest.
Eine Tisch- oder Arbeitsplatte 7 ist lediglich in der Sei- tenansicht gemäß Figur 3b strichliert angedeutet.A table or worktop 7 is indicated by dashed lines only in the side view according to FIG. 3b.
Bei der erläuterten Tischkonstruktion ist ein in Längsrichtung des Tisches oder der Tischplatte 7 verlaufender Tragholm 9 vorgesehen, der beispielsweise aus einem extru- dierten Metall bestehen kann und dazu mehrere Kammern aufweist, wie aus der Schnittdarstellung gemäß Figur Ic zu ersehen ist.In the illustrated table construction extending in the longitudinal direction of the table or the table top 7 support beam 9 is provided, which may for example consist of an extruded metal and to have a plurality of chambers, as can be seen from the sectional view of Figure Ic.
An der Ober- und Unterseite 9a bzw. 9b dieses Tragholms 9 sind Vertiefungen oder Hinterschneidungen 11 ausgebildet, an denen im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel zwei in Längsrichtung des Tragholms 9 versetzt liegende Grundkörper 13 verankert sind.Recesses or undercuts 11 are formed on the upper and lower sides 9a and 9b of this supporting beam 9, in which two base bodies 13, which are offset in the longitudinal direction of the supporting beam 9, are anchored in the exemplary embodiment shown.
Diese Grundkörper 13 sind in Seitenansicht nach Art eines umgekehrten U's gestaltet, und weisen an der dem Tragholm 9 zugewandt liegenden Seite Befestigungselemente 15 auf. Dazu ist der Grundkörper 13 an seiner Oberseite 9a mit einer oben liegenden Haltenase 17 versehen, die in eine nach oben weisende Hinterschneidung oder Vertiefung 11 im Grundkörper eingreift. An der Unterseite 9b des Grundkörpers 13 ist an dem benachbart zum Tragholm 9 liegenden Schenkel 13a eine Fixierbacke 19 ausgebildet, die beispielsweise über eine Rändelschraube 20 von unten her in den Schenkel 13a des Grundkörpers 13 eingeschraubt werden kann (Figuren Ic, 2c und 3c) . Dabei greift eine entsprechende Fixiernase 21 von unten her in eine weitere Vertie- fung oder Hinterschneidung 11 in den Tragholm 9 ein, so dass bei festgezogener Schraube 20 der so gebildete Grundkörper 13 fest am Tragholm 9 verankert ist.These base body 13 are designed in side view in the manner of an inverted U's, and have on the side facing the support beam 9 side fasteners 15. For this purpose, the base body 13 at its top 9a with provided an overhead retaining lug 17 which engages in an upwardly facing undercut or recess 11 in the base body. On the underside 9b of the main body 13, a fixing jaw 19 is formed on the adjacent leg 9a to the support beam 9, which can be screwed for example via a thumbscrew 20 from below into the leg 13a of the body 13 (Figures Ic, 2c and 3c). In this case, a corresponding fixing lug 21 engages from below into a further depression or undercut 11 in the carrier beam 9, so that when the screw 20 is tightened, the basic body 13 thus formed is firmly anchored to the carrier beam 9.
Durch eine Verbesserung der Handhabung dieser Befesti- gungseinrichtung können der Grundkörper und die Fixierbacke 19 beispielsweise über eine Scharnierverbindung, beispielsweise ein Filmscharnier 22 oder in sonstiger Weise gelenkig miteinander verbunden sein, so dass die Fixierbacke 19 unverlierbar am Grundkörper 13 gehalten ist.By improving the handling of this fastening device, the base body and the fixing jaw 19 can be connected to one another in an articulated manner, for example via a hinge connection, for example a film hinge 22 or in any other way, so that the fixing jaw 19 is held captive on the base body 13.
An dem zum Tragholm 9 versetzt liegenden zweiten Schenkel 13b ist an der Unterseite eine Verschwenkachse 24 ausgebildet, an welcher eine Halteschiene 25 verschwenkbar gehalten ist (Figur Ic, 2c und 3c) .At the second leg 13b, which is offset from the carrier spar 9, a swiveling axis 24 is formed on the lower side, on which a holding rail 25 is held pivotably (FIGS. 1c, 2c and 3c).
In den Figuren Ia bis Ic ist der Kabelkanal 3 in seiner angehobenen Funktionsstellung gezeigt. In dieser Funktionsstellung erreicht er ganz oder fast die Oberseite des Tragholmes 9 und liegt somit in einem beliebigen, geringen Abstand zur Unterseite einer lediglich in Figur Ib gezeigten Tischplatte 7.In the figures Ia to Ic of the cable channel 3 is shown in its raised functional position. In this functional position, it reaches completely or almost the upper side of the support bar 9 and thus lies at any small distance to the underside of a table top 7 shown only in FIG.
Da der Kabelkanal neben einem Kabelkanalboden 3a noch zwei seitliche Randbegrenzungen 3b aufweist, sind die darin verlegten Kabel geschützt, können allerdings in dieser angehobenen Funktionsstellung nicht oder praktisch nicht oder nur mit größtem Aufwand in den Kabelkanal hinein ver- legt oder aus diesem heraus geholt werden, falls dies erforderlich sein sollte.Since the cable channel next to a cable channel bottom 3a still two has lateral edge boundaries 3b, the cables laid therein are protected, but in this raised functional position can not or practically not or only with great effort in the cable channel moved into or out of this, if this should be necessary.
In der in den Figuren Ia bis Ic gezeigten Funktionsstellung kommt dabei der Kabelkanal 3 so hoch zu liegen, dass die erwähnte Verschwenkachse 24 unterhalb des Kabelkanalbodens 3a zu liegen kommt. Dies ermöglicht, dass die an dieser Verschwenkachse 24 befestigte Halteschiene 25 in eine verschwenkte Position gebracht werden kann, in der sie parallel zum Kabelkanal 3 verläuft. Vorzugsweise dem freien Ende 25a der Halteschiene 25 näher liegend kann die Halteschiene 25 an der Unterseite des Kabelkanals fixiert werden, wozu eine Fixiereinrichtung 27 vorgesehen ist. Im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel umfasst diese Fixiereinrichtung 27 beispielsweise einen Rast- oder Klemm- oder Klick- mechanismus 27a. Dazu können elastische, unter Vorspannung stehende Klemmhebel an der Unterseite des Kabelkanals 3 vorgesehen sein, die beispielsweise im verrasteten Zustand die Seitenränder der Halteschiene 25 klemmend übergreifen. Ebenso kann - wie beispielsweise in Figur 2c dargestellt ist - das freie Ende 25a der Halteschiene 25 mit einer Ausnehmung 29 versehen sein, in die ein entsprechender Rast-, Klick- oder Klemmfinger, der an entsprechender Stelle an der Kabelkanalunterseite vorgesehen ist, eingreift. Im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel wird die Aus- nehmung 29 dadurch hergestellt, dass zwei entsprechende Materialabschnitte quer zur Ebene der Halteschiene 25 aufgestellt werden, wodurch zwei Klemmfinger 29a gebildet werden. Diese sind federnd elastisch ausgebildet und grei- fen in umgeklapptem Zustand der Halteschiene in entsprechende Ausnehmungen 3c im Boden des Kabelkanals ein, wodurch die Halteschiene 25 aufgrund des Klick- oder Klemmsitzes gehalten wird.In the functional position shown in FIGS. 1 a to 1 c, the cable duct 3 comes to lie so high that the mentioned swiveling axis 24 comes to lie below the cable channel bottom 3 a. This makes it possible for the retaining rail 25 fastened to this swiveling axis 24 to be brought into a swiveled position, in which it runs parallel to the cable channel 3. Preferably closer to the free end 25a of the support rail 25, the support rail 25 can be fixed to the underside of the cable channel, including a fixing device 27 is provided. In the exemplary embodiment shown, this fixing device 27 comprises, for example, a latching or clamping or click mechanism 27a. For this purpose, elastic, biased clamping lever may be provided on the underside of the cable channel 3, which overlap, for example, in the locked state, the side edges of the retaining rail 25 by clamping. Likewise, as shown for example in Figure 2c - the free end 25a of the support rail 25 may be provided with a recess 29 into which a corresponding latching, clicking or clamping fingers, which is provided at the appropriate place on the cable channel bottom engages. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the recess 29 is produced by arranging two corresponding material sections transversely to the plane of the retaining rail 25, whereby two clamping fingers 29a are formed. These are resiliently elastic and have fen in the folded state of the support rail in corresponding recesses 3c in the bottom of the cable channel, whereby the support rail 25 is held due to the click or clamping fit.
Anhand der Figuren 2a ff ist gezeigt, wie der Kabelkanal in seine abgesenkte Verkabelungsposition gebracht werden kann.With reference to the figures 2a ff shows how the cable channel can be brought into its lowered wiring position.
Dazu werden zunächst die im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel vorgesehenen beiden Halteschienen 25 unter Lösung ihrer Schnappverbindung zwischen der Halteschiene 25 und einer Fixier- oder Klemmeinrichtung an der Kabelkanalunterseite um ihre Verschwenkachse 24 verschwenkt, bis sie in Verti- kalrichtung frei herabhängen, im wesentlichen also senkrecht zum Kabelkanal 3 verlaufen. Auch in dieser in den Figuren 2a bis 2c gezeigten Position kann der entsprechende Endabschnitt 13b' des zweiten Schenkels 13b des Grundkörpers 13 von seinen Querschnittsabmessungen so dimensio- niert sein, dass er in etwa der Größe der Durchtrittsöffnung 31 im Kabelkanalboden entspricht, so dass selbst bei herabhängenden Halteschienen 25 der Kabelkanal noch in seiner in Figuren 2a bis 2c gezeigten Position kraftschlüssig gehalten wird, beispielsweise aufgrund der hier- durch erzeugten Reibwirkung. Ebenso kann in dieser Halteposition noch eine gewisse Klemmwirkung vorgesehen sein, die den Kabelkanal selbst bei herabhängenden Halteschienen 25 noch in der angehobenen Position hält.For this purpose, the two holding rails 25 provided in the embodiment shown are first pivoted about their pivot axis 24 by releasing their snap connection between the holding rail 25 and a fixing or clamping device on the cable channel underside, until they hang freely in the vertical direction, essentially perpendicular to the cable channel 3 run. Also in this position shown in FIGS. 2 a to 2 c, the corresponding end section 13 b 'of the second leg 13 b of the base body 13 can be dimensioned from its cross-sectional dimensions such that it approximately corresponds to the size of the passage opening 31 in the cable channel floor, so that even at drooping retaining rails 25 of the cable channel is still held non-positively in its position shown in Figures 2a to 2c, for example, due to the friction effect generated thereby. Likewise, in this holding position, a certain clamping effect can be provided, which still holds the cable channel even with suspended support rails 25 in the raised position.
In dieser Position kann dann der Kabelkanal in die in den Figuren 3a bis 3c abgesenkte Verkabelungsposition herunter geschoben werden, und zwar längs der Halteschiene 25. In abgesenkter Position liegt dann der Kabelkanal 3 an dem Endabschnitt 25a der Halteschiene 25 auf, wobei der freie Endabschnitt 25a der Halteschiene 25 eine größere Quererstreckung unter Ausbildung eines Anschlages 25b umfasst, auf welchem der Kabelkanal 3 anschlägt und hierüber gehal- ten ist.In this position, the cable channel can then be pushed down into the lowered in the figures 3a to 3c wiring position, along the support rail 25. In lowered position then the cable channel 3 is located on the End portion 25a of the support rail 25, wherein the free end portion 25a of the support rail 25 comprises a larger transverse extent to form a stop 25b, on which the cable channel 3 abuts and is held over it.
Hierdurch wird nunmehr ein großer Abstandsraum zwischen der Ebene des oberen Tragholmes 9 und der darüber befindlichen und lediglich in Figur 2 angedeuteten Tischplatte und dem Kabelkanal bereitgestellt, so dass nunmehr problemlos in den Kabelkanal Kabel verlegt werden können.As a result, now a large distance space between the plane of the upper support Holmes 9 and over it and only indicated in Figure 2 indicated table top and the cable channel is provided so that now can be easily laid in the cable channel cable.
Wie aus der Darstellung gemäß Figuren 2c und 3c zu entnehmen ist, sind die gegenüberliegenden Schmalseiten 33 der Halteschienen 25 mit einer Riffelung 33a versehen, wodurch ein Abstandsmaß zwischen beiden gegenüberliegenden Riffelungen 33a definiert wird, dass gleich oder geringfügig größer ist als die Größe der Durchtrittsöffnung 31, so dass der Kabelkanal längs der Halteschienen 25 von seiner angehobenen Funktionsstellung in die abgesenkte Verkabelungsstellung nicht frei herabfallen kann, sondern aufgrund der dadurch erzeugten Reibwirkung vorsichtig nach unten herabgedrückt werden kann.As can be seen from the representation according to FIGS. 2c and 3c, the opposite narrow sides 33 of the retaining rails 25 are provided with a corrugation 33a, whereby a distance dimension between two opposite corrugations 33a is defined that is equal to or slightly larger than the size of the passage opening 31 so that the cable channel along the support rails 25 from its raised functional position in the lowered wiring position can not fall freely, but can be gently pushed down due to the friction effect generated thereby.
Nach Durchführung der Verkabelung kann der Kabelkanal wieder längs der Halteschiene 25 in seine angehobene Position angehoben werden, und zwar ebenfalls wieder unter Überwindung der Reibwirkung zwischen der Riffelung 33a an den Halteschienen 25 und den Rändern der Durchtrittsöffnungen 31 im Kabelkanalboden 3a. Bei Erreichen seiner obersten Funktionsstellung kann die erläuterte gegebenenfalls vorgesehene Klemmung oder eine dort vorgesehene Schnappeinrichtung wirken, so dass der Kabelkanal bereits in seiner angehobenen, in den Figuren Ia bis Ic gezeigten Position gehalten wird, selbst wenn die Halteschienen 25 noch frei herabhängen, wie in Figuren 2a bis 2c gezeigt ist. Danach werden abschließend die Halteschienen 25 wieder in ihre horizontale Fixier- und Raststellung um ihre Verschwenk- achse 24 umgelegt.After carrying out the wiring, the cable channel can be raised again along the support rail 25 in its raised position, again by overcoming the friction between the corrugation 33a on the support rails 25 and the edges of the openings 31 in the cable channel bottom 3a. Upon reaching its uppermost functional position, the described optionally provided clamping or a snap device provided there may act, so that the cable duct is already in its raised position shown in Figs. 1a to 1c, even if the support rails 25 still hang freely, as shown in Figs. 2a to 2c. Thereafter, the retaining rails 25 are finally transferred back into their horizontal fixing and locking position about their pivot axis 24.
Um ein unerwünschtes Klappern zu vermeiden, können die Halteschienen und/oder die Kabelkanal-Boden-Unterseiten beispielsweise mit einer leicht elastischen, vorgespannten Federeinrichtung 37 versehen sein, die im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel leicht bogenförmig gestaltet ist und in horizontaler Fixierstellung der Halteschienen an der Unterseite des Kabelkanalbodens 3a anliegt. Dabei kann die erwähnte Federeinrichtung 37 beispielsweise an einer Stelle 37a vorgesehen sein, d.h. bevorzugt in benachbarter Nähe zur Verschwenkachse 24. Mit anderen Worten ist also der Abstand dieser Federeinrichtung 37 zur Verschwenkachse 24 so gewählt, dass er kleiner als 50%, insbesondere klei- ner als 40%, 30%, 20% und vorzugsweise sogar kleiner als 10% der gesamten Länge der Halteschiene 25 ist.In order to avoid unwanted rattling, the support rails and / or the cable channel bottom bottoms may be provided, for example, with a slightly elastic biased spring means 37 which is slightly arcuate in the embodiment shown and in horizontal fixing position of the support rails on the underside of the cable channel floor 3a is present. In this case, the mentioned spring means 37 may be provided, for example, at a position 37a, i. In other words, the distance of this spring device 37 to the pivot axis 24 is selected such that it is less than 50%, in particular less than 40%, 30%, 20% and preferably even less than 10 % of the total length of the retaining rail 25 is.
Wie aus den Querschnittsdarstellungen durch den Kabelkanal 3 zu ersehen ist, ist dieser innen liegend noch mit einem Versteifungsprofil 39 versehen.As can be seen from the cross-sectional views through the cable channel 3, this is still lying inside provided with a stiffening profile 39.
Die erfindungsgemäße Verstellung für den erläuterten Kabelkanal 3 ist für den Fall eines Arbeits- oder Bürotisches beschrieben worden. Das beschriebene Prinzip zur Verankerung und Verstellung eines Kabelkanals kann jedoch bei allen Möbeln angewandt werden, bei welchen ein Kabelkanal in seiner Höhe relativ verstellt werden soll, insbesondere unterhalb einer Plattenkonstruktion. Es ist bereits erwähnt worden, dass die Halteschienen 25 zumindest mittelbar über eine Trageinrichtung, vorzugsweise in Form eines Längsholms, gehalten und verankert sind. Genauso könnten die Halteschienen aber auch an der Unter- seite einer anderen Trageinrichtung, beispielsweise in Form einer Wand, einer Tischplatte etc. direkt oder mittelbar gehalten sein, beispielsweise mittels eines Grundkörpers, der an der Tischunterseite angebracht ist. Über entsprechende Verschwenkachsen 24 können auch hier die Halteschienen gegenüber einem so befestigten Grundkörper zwischen einer Verkabelungsposition und einer Funktionsstellung verstellt werden.The inventive adjustment for the illustrated cable channel 3 has been described for the case of a work or office table. However, the described principle for anchoring and adjusting a cable duct can be applied to all furniture in which a cable duct is to be adjusted in height relatively, in particular below a plate construction. It has already been mentioned that the retaining rails 25 are held and anchored, at least indirectly, by means of a carrying device, preferably in the form of a longitudinal spar. In the same way, however, the retaining rails could also be held directly or indirectly on the underside of another supporting device, for example in the form of a wall, a tabletop, for example by means of a base body which is attached to the underside of the table. By means of corresponding pivot axes 24, the retaining rails can also be adjusted here relative to a basic body fastened in this way between a cabling position and a functional position.
Die erwähnte Verschwenkachse kann aus einer üblichen Ver- Schwenkachse bestehen, insbesondere dann, wenn Halteschienen und Grundkörper verwendet werden, die aus entsprechend geeignetem Material, beispielsweise Metall, Kunststoff etc. bestehen. Genauso könnte an dieser Stelle aber auch eine biegeelastische Verschwenkeinrichtung vorgesehen sein. Der Begriff ist insoweit in keiner Weise auf bestimmte Ausführungsformen eingeschränkt. The aforementioned pivot axis may consist of a conventional pivot axis, in particular when holding rails and base body are used, which consist of appropriately suitable material, such as metal, plastic, etc. Equally, however, a flexurally elastic pivoting device could also be provided at this point. The term is in no way limited to specific embodiments.
