Definitions

the invention relates to a device for connecting a desk top to a support frame, which has a table top support that can be firmly connected to the table top and can be attached below the desk top.
the table top supports are formed like a clamp in their central region.
the brackets surround the profile lugs of a central profile extending in the longitudinal direction.
the clip-like areas of the table top support are pushed onto the central profile in the longitudinal direction and fixed in the sliding direction by means of removable clip areas using screws.
the known device has the disadvantage, on the one hand, that assembly is only possible with the aid of a tool for fastening the clamping screws.
the known construction implies the provision of only one, in Longitudinal direction extending central profile on the base. This severely limits the connection rigidity of the base frame.
the invention has for its object to provide a device of the known type so that with its help quick and easy assembly and disassembly between desk support frame and desk top while avoiding the disadvantages of the prior art and without tools.
the device according to the invention has the advantage that it is simple in construction and easy to handle. It ensures that every layperson can carry out assembly and disassembly of the table top quickly and easily. Tools are superfluous.
the connection created with the new device is firm and allows a uniform introduction of the forces into the supporting frame.
the table top is not drawn because of the better overview.
the table top support 1 is visible, which is screwed to the underside of the table top, not shown.
This table top support 1 carries the essential parts of the connection mechanism.
the table top support 1 is with the help of the connection mechanism with the cross bars of the base trained support elements 3 and 4 connected.
the support elements 3 and 4 run horizontally and thus at 90 ° to the side rails 2 and 5, which end in a rail 6 standing on the floor.
the drawing figure 1 shows only the basic structure. The exact structure is shown in Figures 2 and 3:
the underside of the table top support 1 rests on the support elements 3 and 4 designed as cross bars. It has downwardly projecting centering areas 18 and 19, which allow alignment of the table top support and thus the table top on the two support elements 3 and 4.
the centering areas 18 and 19 enclose the support elements 3 and 4 between them.
a cover plate 7, which is only visible in FIG. 2, is firmly connected to the lower region of the table top support 1.
a pin 9a is fixed to the cover plate, the axis of which is designated by 9.
the axis 9 forms the pivot axis for a locking lever 8.
the pin 9a is encompassed by an elongated hole 8a, the longitudinal extent of which is slightly larger than the diameter of the pin 9.
the elongated hole 8a extends in the longitudinal direction of the table top support 1. The provision of an elongated hole permits a displacement of the axis 9 during the pivoting process.
clamping levers 16 and 17 extend parallel to the table top support.
a pivoting of the locking lever 8 leads to the outer ends of the clamping levers 16 and 17 either moving apart or towards one another.
the clamping levers 16 and 17 have clamping hooks 12 and 13 which are loosely connected to them via slots.
the clamping hooks 12 and 13 could also be connected in one piece to the clamping levers 16 and 17 without any change in their effect.
FIGS. 2 and 3 show the clamping hooks or clamping levers in the locked position, in which the table top support 1 and thus the desk top is firmly fixed on the base frame.
the locking lever 8 is pivoted in the direction of arrow 20a.
the clamp levers 16 and 17 move with the clamp hooks 12 and 13 in the direction of the axis 9 and the clamp hooks emerge from the receiving openings 14 and 15. Then the desk top with the desk top support 1 can be lifted upwards.
the elongated holes 20 and 21 are provided in the clamping levers 16 and 17 and the pins 10 and 11 in the locking lever 8. The same effect can be achieved if the elongated holes 20 and 21 in the locking lever 8 are provided and the cooperating pins 10 and 11 are seated on the clamping levers 16 and 17.
