The invention relates to a multi-level plant and flower table for setting up for storage/care and presentation of these goods/on or covered a flat F &agr;. 5 <^ nc 5"üfttöiit

Such facilities can be constructed from generally or in-house standardized shelves, stands or similar, whereby these generally allow the assembly of a uniform table surface with the same height.

However, these tables have the disadvantage that they only allow the formation of two display levels, the first of which is formed just above the floor level by a corresponding framework with an inset tray and the second of which is formed at the usual table height by trays also arranged in a frame.

Since the plants and flowers have to be watered, it is not possible to have the tub inclined in one direction. As a rule, the water flows away so quickly that at least the upper rows of the plants cannot be watered sufficiently.

Furthermore, these two-tier tables have the disadvantage that

that the stand rental, which depends on the size of the tables including the necessary transition area, is not used optimally.

Taking this into account, it is the object of this invention to provide a multi-level plant and flower table of the type described at the outset, in which the standing area can be used to the maximum by arranging additional levels above the table height and accessible from both sides, and the horizontally arranged tubs with the plants and flowers in them , which are watered in this position, can be moved to a sales-promoting inclined presentation position after watering has been completed.

The inventive solution to this problem provides

the bank multi-level plant and flower table

consists of two inner table legs facing each other in pairs and detachably connected to each other, and this combination, supplemented by four corner-forming table legs, forms an abutting plane consisting of two table units, each of which is delimited in its parts by an angle frame,

that further frames formed by angles can be arranged below the levels and are inserted into the frame and the tubs,

that, based on the level of the two table units/ in the middle - partially covering them - a stand can be detachably connected and this has at least a frame made up of intermediate supports" into which the further trays can be inserted/

and that at least the trays stored in the frame can be adjusted into an outward-facing , inclined presentation position by lifting means.

The combination preferably extends in its longitudinal direction over twice the depth of the table units, which are connected to one another on both sides.

Accordingly, the depth of the centrally arranged stand is approximately the same size and the stand is arranged approximately in the middle of the two table units, so that each of these is covered by the stand by approximately 50%. At least one frame made up of intermediate supports can be inserted into the stand in a height-adjustable manner and also supports trays, whereby at least the frame at table height with its supporting trays and the frame in the stand with its supporting trays can be adjusted into a presentation position facing outwards on both sides by means of lifting devices.

To water the plants and flowers, the frames or tubs are briefly swung back into their horizontal position.

This design has the advantage that more goods can be stored in the same space with the same floor space and sufficient ventilation and lighting conditions.

The design of the lifting means is such that they each carry an eccentric disk through a shaft mounted at both ends and a crank or crank wheel can be attached to a free end of each shaft, and that the shaft in the set high position of the

Eccentric disc by a latch or the- j

can be fixed with the same locking device.

Of course, other means, such as hydraulic or pneumatic means, are also conceivable for this purpose.

Furthermore, it is intended that a roof construction rests on two posts, under whose longitudinal projections on both sides lighting fixtures are provided» whereby the roof surfaces can have an open grid structure.

The tubs are made of rust-proof material or are rust-protected.

The invention therefore fully meets the requirements.

The plant and flower table according to the invention is explained in more detail by the attached drawing of an exemplary embodiment.

Figure 1 shows the section I-I through Figure 2,

i.e. the front view of the plant and flower table.

Figure 2 shows the side view of the multi-storey

table.

Figure 3 shows Figure 1 and Figure 2 in perspective combination with the goods to be displayed arranged on an inclined plane; the lowest installation level remains in a horizontal position.

The multi-level table construction 1 is usually formed by three table or stand units 1.1 and 1.6 of approximately the same width. The two lower table units 1.1 meet with their four equally long table legs 1.2,1 facing each other and form two abutting levels 1.2.3 with the four outer legs 1.2.2, each of which is delimited at the top by an angle frame 1.3.

Two further frames 1.4, formed by angles on at least two opposite sides, are arranged in the base area of the table units 1.1.

The frames 1.3 and 1.4 accommodate the refrigerant-protected trays 2.0 and 2.1, which are intended for the introduction of the plants.

The table units 1.1 are generally connected to each other in a detachable manner.

An eccentric disc 3 acts against the delimiting bottom of each of the troughs 2.1, the shaft 3.1 of which is guided in the middle of the joint area of the angle frames 1.3 by bearings 3.2 and at the other end in the middle of the first corner length of the angle by a bearing 3.3 connected to it in a suspended manner. The shafts 3.1 are designed at their ends as square heads 3,4 for attaching a crank, whereby each square 3.4 can be locked by a latch (not shown) or other means when the eccentric disc 3 is set to the high position.

The set high position indicates the presentation position for the goods, while the level alignment of the tubs 2.1 forms the watering or irrigation position.

The stand 1.6 is installed in the middle of level 1.2 3 of the two table units 1.1, partially covering the two table units.

This is connected to the table units 1.1 by a plug connection 1.7, according to detail A ₇ .

A frame 1.8 carries the upper tubs 2.2, which are connected by the same means as in the plane 1.23

of the table units 1.1 are used, -'-. their inclination is adjustable, i.e. the intermediate

\ beams 1.81 formed frame 1.8 is in accordance with

, detail B over with Rastha^en 1.82 provided

Support 1.81 in stand 1.6 height adjustable.

The stand 1.6 is bent upwards at an angle inclined to each other on both sides *« and closed by supports 1.9 which run parallel to the table unit 1.1.

A roof structure 5 rests on the end of the stand, which in turn accommodates lighting fixtures 6.

The roof surfaces can have an open grid structure.
