Technical Field

The present invention relates to a table having the features of the preamble of claim 1. The table is provided for use in a motor vehicle and as a shelf for items of a person sitting on a vehicle seat. Possibly in other land, air or water vehicles or elsewhere.

Background

Patent application EP1902949 a1 discloses a folding table for a passenger aircraft, which folding table is arranged vertically beside an aircraft seat in a stowage position in a storage compartment and which folding table can be placed in a horizontal use position in front of the body and above the thighs of an occupant on the aircraft seat. For this purpose, known folding tables have a foldable table frame, at which the table top is guided movably by means of linear guides.

Disclosure of Invention

The object of the invention is to provide a table that does not have to be a folding table, which has the possibility of displacement of its table top in a structurally modified manner.

According to the invention, this object is achieved by the features of claim 1. A table according to the invention having the features of claim 1 has a table frame, a table top and a first sliding guide, with which the table top is movably fastened at the table frame. The table frame is used to fasten the table in e.g. a motor vehicle. It can be rigid or can have joints and/or sliding guides. It can have a console, an arm, a strut, a carrier, a two-dimensional or three-dimensional, planar element and/or a spatial element. The list is exemplary and not exhaustive.

As a first sliding guide, the table according to the invention has a two-axis sliding guide with which the table top is guided in a plane so as to be movable in two directions which extend at an angle, preferably at right angles, to one another. The sliding direction can be straight or not. The plane in which the table top can be moved is preferably a placement surface of the table top, wherein the placement surface is a surface of the table top which is provided for placing and storing objects on the table top.

The table according to the invention furthermore has a friction brake which fixes the table against movement in a friction-locking manner in the braking position, so that the table can be fixed against movement in each movement position in a stepless manner.

One advantage of the present invention is the adjustability of the table in two directions. For example, the distance between the body of the seated person and the table can be adjusted in the transverse direction of the body of the seated person and can be fixed in each position steplessly.

The solution according to the invention provides that the friction brake has a friction brake element (e.g. a friction brake lining) and a spreading mechanism, with which the friction brake lining can be pressed against the table or a brake body rigidly connected to the table. The opening mechanism is arranged between the table plate and the table frame. In the case of a multi-part table with, for example, foldable, i.e. pivotable or pivotable elements and/or displaceable elements, the opening mechanism is arranged in particular between the table carrier and the table. The table carrier is an element of the table frame, at which the sliding guide is arranged. In the braking position, the spreading mechanism pushes the friction braking element away from the table or from the table carrier and presses the friction braking element against the table or a braking body of the table, so that the friction braking element pressing against the table holds the table against displacement by frictional engagement. Conversely, the opening mechanism can also push the friction brake element away from the table and against the table, the table carrier or a brake body arranged on the table or the table carrier.

In a development of the invention, the spreading mechanism has a ramp extending at an angle, preferably at an acute angle, to a plane in which the table can be moved, which ramp can be moved parallel to said plane and supports the friction brake element. By the movement of the bevel parallel to the plane in which the table can move, the friction brake element can be pressed against the table, the table frame or a brake body arranged at the table or the table frame in order to actuate the friction brake and fix the table against movement.

Preferably, the splaying mechanism has a plurality of such ramps which are arranged discretely in a plane in which the table is movable. The ramps are connected so that they can move together and press the or each friction braking element against the table or table frame.

A further aspect of the invention provides for the pivot mounting of the friction brake element about the pivot axis to press the friction brake element against the table, the table frame or a brake body arranged on the table or the table frame for actuating the friction brake and to fix the table against displacement by frictional locking at the table frame. The pivot axis is arranged such that the friction brake element can be pressed against the table or the table frame by pivoting. The pivot axis is located in particular outside the braking surface of the friction brake element, which is pressed against the table, table frame or brake body in the case of an actuated friction brake.

Preferably, the friction brake automatically assumes the braking position. For example, the friction brake element is pressed against the table, table frame or brake body by means of one or more spring elements, elastic elements or elasticity, and, in order to release the friction brake, it must be lifted against the spring force of the one or more spring elements or against the elastic elements or elastically from the table, table frame or brake body. The release position of the friction brake can be stable or unstable. In the first case, the friction brake remains released, when it is released; in the second case, it occupies the braking position when it is not held in the release position.

The solution of the invention provides a friction brake that can be released manually.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the table has a table frame with which the table top can be moved, in particular can be moved and/or can be swiveled. In particular, the table is reciprocally movable between a stowed position and a use position using the table frame. With the aforementioned first sliding guide, the table in the use position can be moved.

In one embodiment of the invention, the table frame has a pivot bearing, by means of which the table plate can be pivoted back and forth about a pivot axis between a storage position and a use position. The stowed position is, for example, an upright position of the table or a position in which the table is perpendicular to the floor and laterally alongside the seat. In the use position, the table is in particular horizontal or parallel to the floor or also above the seat surface of the seat with an inclination in front of the seat. With the second sliding guide of the table frame, the table can be moved at an angle to the plane in which it can be moved with the first sliding guide of the two axes. The second sliding guide is used, for example, to lift the table from the stowed position into the use position. The second sliding guide is in particular uniaxial. The table frame can have the one or more pivot bearings and/or the second sliding guide and one or more further sliding guides.

The invention provides that the table frame has a pivot bearing and the friction brake has an actuating mechanism which actuates the friction brake when the table is pivoted into the use position and/or releases the friction brake when the table is pivoted into the stowed position or into a position other than the use position. Thereby, the table is movable in order to be able to place it, for example, from the stowed position into the use position and vice versa, and the table is fixed against automatic movement in the use position. The friction brake can be released in the use position, for example manually, so that it can be moved into the desired position without having to swing the table.

The biaxial first sliding guide can, for example, have a cross table, i.e. two linear guides or linear guides which cross one another, preferably at right angles. In an embodiment of the invention, the sliding guide has a bearing surface on which the table top is mounted so as to be movable in both directions. The table top can be supported at the support surface, for example, by sliding or rolling. The lift protection engages the support surface on the underside in such a way that the table top is held in a displaceable and lift-resistant manner fixed on the support surface. The biaxial first sliding guide with the raised protection element can be embodied, for example, like a T-shaped groove, in which a T-shaped groove block engages, which has a play transversely to the T-shaped groove, so that it and the table plate together with it can be moved in the longitudinal direction and the transverse direction of the T-shaped groove.

The features and feature combinations, embodiments and embodiments of the invention mentioned above in the description and/or shown in the drawings and the features and feature combinations mentioned below in the description of the drawings and/or shown in the drawings can be used not only in the form of the respectively specified or drawn combination but in principle in any other combination or alone. Implementations of the invention without all the features of the dependent claims are also possible. The individual features of one claim can also be replaced by other disclosed features or combinations of features. This implementation of the invention is also possible: the described implementations do not have all the features of one or more embodiments, but have in principle any arbitrary part of the characterizing features of one embodiment in combination with one, more or all the features of one or more further embodiments, if necessary.

The invention will be explained in more detail hereinafter with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawings. The figures show:

figure 1 is a perspective view of a table according to the present invention;

FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the table of FIG. 1; and

figure 3 is a cross-sectional view of an alternate embodiment of the table of figure 1.

The drawings are simplified and schematic illustrations for understanding and explaining the present invention.

Detailed Description

The table 1 according to the invention shown in fig. 1 is intended to be installed in a motor vehicle, not shown, laterally alongside a vehicle seat, also not shown. Instead of in a motor vehicle, the table 1 can also be used in other land, air or water vehicles, or not in a vehicle.

The table 1 has a table top 2 and a table frame 3, with which the table top 2 can be moved between a stowed position, not illustrated, in which the table top 2 is located in a storage compartment 4, and a use position shown in fig. 1. The table 1 has a first sliding guide 5, with which the table top 2 is movably fastened at the table frame 3, and a second sliding guide 6, with which the table top 2 (including parts of the table frame 3) is movably guided out of the storage compartment 4 and into the storage compartment 4. The second slide guide 6 is a linear guide.

The table frame 3 has two pivot bearings 7, 8, with which the table top 2 can be pivoted by a total of 90 ° about two pivot axes parallel to one another from the storage position into the use position and vice versa. In fig. 1, the table 2 covers the first slide guide 5 and one of the two rocking bearings 8 (referred to herein as the second rocking bearing 8)

The first sliding guide 5 shown in fig. 2 is a biaxial sliding guide 5 with which the table 2 is guided on the table frame 3 so as to be movable in two directions perpendicular to one another in one plane. In this embodiment, the plane in which the table 2 is movable is parallel to the placement surface 10 of the table 2, wherein the placement surface 10 is a surface of the table 2 which is provided for placing and storing objects on the table 2 in the use position.

In this exemplary embodiment, the table top 2 has a large-area T-shaped groove 11 on its lower side opposite the placement surface 10, into which a T-shaped groove block 12 is inserted. The T-shaped slot 11 is longer and wider than the T-shaped slot block 12 so that the table 2 can move in two directions perpendicular to each other.

As a lifting protection 13, the table plate 2 has at its underside four slats which form a rectangular frame which surrounds a flat and rectangular top plate 14 of the T-shaped trough block 12. The underside of the slats engages or bottom side engages the top plate 14 so that the table 2 is retained on the top plate 14 of the T-block 12. The lift guard 13 is part of the first sliding guide 5.

The underside of the table 2 rests on the surface of the top plate 14 of the T-shaped block 12, which forms the bearing surface 15 of the first sliding guide 5 on which the table 2 is guided so as to be movable. In this embodiment, the plastic slide 16 is arranged between the top plate 14 and the table 2 such that the table 2 is slidably supported on the top plate 14. It is also possible for the table 2 to lie directly on the top plate 14 or to be supported by rollers (not shown). The strip forming the raised protection 13 engages the top plate 14 of the T-shaped block 12 on the underside of the side facing away from the bearing surface 15, which can also be understood as the underside of the bearing surface 15.

The T-shaped groove 12 is arranged on a table carrier 9 which is a component of the table frame 3 and which is mounted pivotably on an arm of the table frame 3 by means of one of the two pivot bearings 8. Therefore, the biaxial first slide guide 5 guides the table 2 at the table carrier 9 of the table frame 3 movably in two directions.

A friction brake 17 is arranged between the table carrier 9 and the table 2, with which friction brake the table 2 can be fixed in each displacement position in a stepless manner against displacement by friction locking. The friction brake 17 is arranged between the plastic slides 16 in the T-shaped groove 11 at the lower side of the table 2. It has an opening mechanism 18 and a friction brake element 19 which can be pressed against the underside of the table top 2 by means of the opening mechanism 18. The friction brake element 19 can be understood as a friction brake lining, and the table top 2 can be understood as a friction body which is braked by frictional engagement with the friction brake element 19

The spreading mechanism 18 has a strip 20 which is movable on the top plate 14 of the T-shaped block 12 and has a bevel 21 on its side facing the table 2. The bevels 21 are parallel to each other and are arranged one after the other in the longitudinal direction and the direction of movement of the slats 20. The bar 20 with the inclined surface 21 can be displaced parallel to the support surface 10 of the table 2, the inclined surface 21 of which extends at an acute angle to the displacement direction.

The friction braking element 19 is a flat plate arranged at the underside of the table 2 between the slats 20 having the slopes 21 and the table 2. The friction braking element 19 is movable perpendicular to the table 2 and is held against movement in the direction of movement of the slats 20 having the inclined surfaces 21. On its side facing the slats 20, the friction braking element 19 has a mating ramp 22 which cooperates with the ramp 21 of the slats 20: if the slats 20 are moved, their ramp 21 presses the friction braking element 19 at the mating ramp 22 against the underside of the table 2, so that the table 2 is held against movement by frictional engagement with the friction braking element 19. This is the actuating position or the braking position of the friction brake 19.

The spring element 23 loads the bar 20 and thus the friction brake 17 into the operating position, so that the friction brake 17 automatically assumes the braking position. By means of the push button 24 at the edge of the table 2, the slats 20 can be moved against the spring force of the spring element 23, and the friction brake 17 can be released manually in this way.

Fig. 3 shows an alternative friction brake 17 a: there, the friction brake element 19a is arranged at the end of a pivot lever 27 which is pivotable at its center about a pivot axis at a distance from the friction brake element 19a by means of a third pivot bearing 28. The pivot axis extends parallel to the placement surface 10 of the table 2 and parallel to the pivot axes of the two pivot bearings 7, 8 of the table frame 3, which cannot be seen in fig. 3.

The spring element 23a presses the pivot lever 27 in such a way that the friction brake element 19a is pressed against the underside of the table 2 and the table 2 is held against displacement by a friction lock.

The end of the pivot lever 27 remote from the friction brake element 19a is bent and projects on the lower side of the table 2. In the case of this embodiment of the invention, the table 2 is supported pivotably at a table carrier 9 of the table frame 3 by means of a second pivot bearing 8. If the table 2 is pivoted out of the use position in the direction of the retracted position, the bent end of the pivot lever 27 strikes the table carrier 9, so that the pivot lever 27 pivots against the spring force of the spring element 23a and the friction brake element 19a is thereby lifted from the underside of the table 2 and the friction brake 17a is released. With this aspect of the invention, the friction brake 17a is also released by the table 2 swinging into the stowed position.
