Technical Field

The present invention relates to a shelf which can be converted from a shelf configuration into a table configuration, wherein a table top consisting of a plurality of table sections is formed in the table configuration and the table sections are connected at the front end and the rear end by means of connecting strips.

Background

Shelves of the mentioned type are disclosed, for example, by DE 9010709U1 and also, for example, by FR2766682a 1. The segments, which are usually used as shelf floors in the shelf configuration, form a table top extending in a common plane, in particular in a horizontal plane, with respect to its surface in the table configuration. Both in the shelf configuration and in the table configuration the shelf or table is supported on the ground, in particular the floor.

Disclosure of Invention

Based on the cited prior art, it is an object of the present invention to further improve a rack of the mentioned type in a manner that is advantageous in terms of application technology.

According to a first idea of the invention, a possible realization of this object is given in a shelf, which is based on the idea that a bracket table segment provided for one end of a table is connected with a fixed bracket, which can be mounted on a wall to form the table at a common table height, wherein the fixed bracket forms a pillar on a horizontal side arm in the mounted state to support the table.

The shelf can accordingly, also preferably, be fixed and held only by being mounted on a wall, for example a wall of a room. For this purpose, in particular, a mounting bracket is used. Two fastening brackets may also be provided, wherein one fastening bracket may each be assigned to a connecting strip of the shelf.

The fastening to the wall can be effected, as is further preferred, in particular by means of screwing. For this purpose, the fastening bracket can also be provided with fastening legs which bear against the corresponding wall and by means of which the screwing can be carried out.

In the case of two fixing brackets, the two fixing brackets are preferably mounted on the wall at the same height, respectively preferably at the same vertical distance from the ground, for example a floor.

The mounting of each fixing bracket on the wall is also selected such that a common table height is thereby achieved in the table configuration. The table top formed by the table sections as a whole has a vertical spacing of the use surface, which is directed upwards in reference, from the floor, for example a floor, in the table configuration, which may be about 700mm to about 800mm, for example in the field that is generally available for dining tables. In this connection, a common working height can also be 900mm to 1200mm, for example, also in the case of a table possibly intended for standing work.

The aforementioned table height may as well as preferred be given a vertical spacing dimension from the bottom of the shelf bottom plate of the lower part in the shelf configuration formed by one table segment.

Accordingly, free space is available in the shelf configuration and in the table configuration, in particular in the immediate wall area, and also in particular in the shelf configuration in the area of the shelf projected onto the floor in the vertical direction. This free space can be interrupted if necessary only by the arrangement of one or more fixing brackets. It is thus also possible, for example, to arrange furniture or the like under a shelf fixed to the wall, which furniture can also be left in this position in the table configuration by means of the proposed solution.

In particular in the form of a table, the mounting bracket provides a brace for supporting the formed table. For this purpose, preferably, side arms of the fastening bracket are used which are oriented substantially horizontally in the use state. The side arms can form L-longer side arms, in the case of a possible L-configuration of the mounting bracket as a whole, while the L-shorter side arms can be oriented substantially vertically in the use state and can be used for fastening to the wall.

The horizontal side arms of the mounting bracket are used to directly or indirectly support the table. In the case of indirect bracing, this can be achieved, for example, on the basis of directly bracing one of the connecting webs on the side arms forming the strut.

Further features of the invention are set forth below and in the description of the figures, several times in their preferred counterparts to the features of the main claim 1 or of the other claims. Other features may also be relevant in the sole case of a single feature of claim 1 or of the respective other claim or independently of each other.

In this way, in the table configuration, the other table sections can be supported over the bracket table sections exclusively by means of the fixing brackets, according to one possible embodiment. According to a preferred embodiment, the support can be realized indirectly, for example via connecting slats which connect the table sections. In addition, in one possible embodiment, the support table sections can also be supported directly on the fixed support.

In a preferred construction, the shelf is converted from the shelf configuration to the table configuration and vice versa by manual action of the user. Preferably, no motor, in particular an electric motor, is provided to transfer the rack from one form to the other, but, for example, a solution for simplifying the handling technique can be provided depending on the size and field of application.

Furthermore, as is also preferred, the table formed in the table configuration may be otherwise unsupported, e.g., based on the placement of legs or the like. According to a preferred construction, in the table configuration only one support of the table top in total is formed on the fixed bracket provided for the bracket table section. Other table segments, or table sections formed therefrom, that extend beyond the cradle table segments, arranged in sequence, that protrude beyond the cradle table segments, may be freely suspended.

In particular, to assist the transfer movement for the conversion configuration, in the rack configuration, a connecting web, which extends substantially vertically in each case, can be supported on one arm of the mounting bracket via an inflation spring, immediately adjacent to the wall side. The inflation spring can, for example, be hinged on the aforesaid fixed side arm of the bracket, via which the shelf is fixed to the wall.

The lifting assistance during the upward swinging is achieved via the gas-filled spring, in particular when the shelf is being transferred from the table configuration into the shelf configuration. In the opposite case, the lowering movement is correspondingly slowed down by the action of the inflating spring when transitioning from the shelf configuration into the table configuration.

For example, it is also possible, as is also preferred, to bring the gas spring into a stop state in the lowered position, i.e. in the table configuration, so that if necessary a base state for the support of the connecting struts or bracket table sections connected thereto can also be achieved (additionally) via the gas spring brought into the base state. The connecting strips can, for example, also preferably extend substantially horizontally in this basic state.

Furthermore, in the table configuration the support point of the inflating spring on the fixing bracket is closer to the wall than the support point on the connecting strip. The corresponding orientation of the gas-filled springs helps to maintain the arrangement in the table configuration. From which also a sufficient stability of the table top in the table configuration is achieved. Due to the preferred arrangement of the gas spring, a force component in the horizontal direction, in particular in the direction of the free end of the table top, is also achieved in the table configuration via the gas spring.

Whereas in the shelf configuration the support point of the inflation spring on the connecting slat may be closer to the wall than the support point on the inflation spring. It follows that according to a preferred embodiment the inflatable spring passes through a vertical orientation when moving from the table configuration into the shelf configuration and reaches the shelf configuration only beyond this vertical orientation when viewed from the table configuration.

Furthermore, due to the arrangement of the spring hinge on the connecting web in the shelf configuration, a force component directed vertically upwards and into the wall part can be provided, preferably also the fastening bracket is fastened to the wall part and the shelf is supported on the wall part in the shelf configuration, which force component can hold the shelf firmly in the shelf configuration.

In the case of a preferred arrangement of two fixing brackets, two inflation springs are also provided, which respectively act on the connecting webs facing the wall in the shelf configuration.

In another possible embodiment, the shelf configuration is fixed, for example by an inwardly pivotable hook or the like engaging a section of the shelf from behind, in addition to the shelf being held in this configuration via the inflation spring, if a wall-side device is used.

The table sections may be hinged on the inner side of four corresponding connecting slats. Four connecting slats may be provided in the corner regions of the table segment, which may for example have an elongated base extending in a rectangular shape. The connection of the connecting strips to the table sections is designed to be articulated, with a geometric axis of articulation, which is preferably always oriented horizontally in each pivoting orientation of the shelf when it is fastened to the wall via the fastening brackets and at the same time oriented transversely to the longitudinal extent of the connecting strips. In this connection, the geometric pivot axis is preferably aligned with the geometric pivot axis of the inflation spring on the fastening bracket and in the region of the bearing point on the connecting web.

The hinging of the table sections on the connecting slats may be made via connecting corner members having, in the table configuration and in the shelf configuration, a shorter section extending vertically and a longer section extending horizontally. In particular, in the shelf configuration, the connecting webs and the horizontally extending sections of the connecting corner pieces, which extend substantially vertically in this case, open up a rectangular, optionally square lattice in a side view, in which the geometric hinge axis is shown as a point, the lattice, during the downward pivoting movement from the shelf configuration in the direction of the table configuration, is converted into a trapezoidal lattice.

The geometric hinge axis between the connecting angle part and the connecting web, which preferably faces the wall, can be provided in the free end region of the horizontal longer section, while the geometric hinge axis of a further connecting web, which is associated with the same connecting angle part, can be arranged vertically lower, preferably in the vertically downwardly directed free end region of the vertically extending shorter section of the connecting angle part.

Due to the fact that the geometric hinge axes of the two connecting webs assigned to a connecting corner piece are arranged at different heights, viewed vertically, a substantially right-angled compartment which is spanned by the connecting webs and the connecting corner pieces can also be obtained in the table configuration, wherein the length of the one compartment, viewed preferably in the horizontal direction, can correspond to 5 to 10 times or more of the width of the same compartment, viewed perpendicularly thereto, while in the shelf configuration the ratio can be, for example, 3:1 to 1:3, also for example 1: 1.

The table segments may be supported on horizontal sections connecting the corner members. In this case, one such connecting corner member is assigned to each table segment. A separate support can be realized here, so that the table section (or shelf floor) can also be removed by the user if necessary without tools. In another possible embodiment, the table segments are fixed to the connecting corner pieces, for example, by screw-on fastening. Plug-in fastening is also possible.

Depending on the configuration and arrangement, the table sections are oriented horizontally in any configuration and preferably also in any intermediate position between the shelf configuration and the table configuration. Possible objects standing on the segments, for example in the shelf configuration, may remain on the table segments during the swinging movement downwards in the direction of the table configuration. This also applies to the transition from the table configuration to the shelf configuration.

The table sections may preferably also form a rigid connection of the side hinged frame formed by a pair of connecting slats and corresponding connecting corner members.

Detailed Description

Referring first to fig. 1, a shelf 1 is shown and described. The shelf may be converted from a shelf configuration to a table configuration and vice versa (see especially fig. 1 and 7).

In the embodiment shown, the shelf 1 has five shelf floors, which in the use state of the shelf 1 according to fig. 1 are equally spaced apart from each other in the vertical direction, also referred to below as table sections 2. More or fewer table sections may be provided, such as three or four or six such table sections 2 forming the shelf base in the shelf configuration.

The table segments 2 can also, as is preferred, be identically constructed and accordingly have at least approximately the same base surface. In the exemplary embodiment shown, a rectangular base of each table segment 2 is provided, which extends in an elongated manner and has a narrow side 3, which can correspond approximately to 0.5 to 0.8 times a long side 4 oriented transversely to the narrow side.

Each table segment 2 has a flat segment surface 5. The segment surfaces are oriented in a horizontal plane both in the shelf configuration according to fig. 1 and in the table configuration according to fig. 7 in the situation of use.

The table segments 2 are hingedly connected indirectly by means of connecting slats 6, 7. The connecting strips 6, 7 are assigned primarily to the four corner regions of the table sections 2, wherein the corner regions of all table sections 2 which overlap one another in the shelf configuration in the vertical direction are connected to one another via the continuous connecting strip 6. In correspondence with each narrow side 3 of the table segment 2, a connecting web 7 is thereby provided in the region of the front end of the table segment 2 and a connecting web 6 is provided in the region which can be assigned to the rear end of the wall 8.

The table sections 2 may be directly hingedly connected to the connecting slats 6 and 7. A construction is shown in which a connecting corner piece 9 is assigned to each narrow side 3, via which the respective table segment 2 is indirectly connected to the connecting webs 6, 7.

The connecting angle 9 is substantially L-shaped, with a longer section 10 of the shelf 1 extending horizontally in the use position in the shelf configuration and in the table configuration and a shorter section 11 oriented transversely to this section extending vertically in the use position.

The longer horizontal section 10 matches in length the length of the narrow side 3 of the segment side.

The connecting angle part 9 is connected to the corresponding connecting web 6 in an articulated manner on the end face of the longer horizontal section 10. The connection of the connecting angle part 9 to the front connecting rail 7 is preferably realized in the vertically downwardly directed end region of the shorter vertical section 11.

In the region of the connecting web 6 assigned to the rear of the wall 8, a horizontally extending hinge axis x, which is oriented transversely to the connecting web 6, and a hinge axis y assigned to the front connecting web 7 are thus obtained for one table segment 2, which hinge axis y extends in the same direction as the hinge axis x, but is offset vertically downward by a certain dimension a relative to the hinge axis x. The offset dimension a is achieved by forming vertical sections 11 on the connecting angle parts 9.

Such an offset dimension a may also be directly given in a corresponding configuration of the table segment 2, for example in a one-piece configuration of the table segment with the connecting corner members.

The aforementioned arrangement of the connecting corner members 9 and the construction of the hinge axes x and y are provided in each table segment 2.

The pair of connecting strips 6, 7 assigned to the narrow sides of the table sections 2 and the connecting corner pieces 9 hinged thereto each form a frame R which is hinged to itself. The two frames R are preferably connected to one another only via the table segments 2, but if necessary also by further cross-members.

The table segments 2 can be supported on the horizontal sections 10 of the connecting corner pieces 9, if necessary connected thereto. For this purpose, a fixed angle 12 can be provided, as is shown by way of example in fig. 10.

The connecting corner element 9 provided for the lowermost table section 2 is further configured as a fixing bracket 13.

The fixing bracket 13 differs from the previously described connecting angle part 9 in particular in that a fixing section 14 is also arranged. The fastening section extends perpendicularly to the horizontal section 10, starting from the end of the horizontal section 10 opposite the vertical section 11.

The fixing bracket 13 can be fixed to the wall 8 via a fixing section 14, for example by means of screws 15.

The fixed section 14 and any connecting angle piece 9 are provided to both narrow sides 3 of the lower table section 2 in the shelf configuration according to fig. 1, referred to below as cradle table section 16 in relation to the lower table section 2.

Preferably, the two fixing brackets 13 are mounted on the wall at the same height, so that the surface 5 of the bracket table section 16 is vertically spaced from the ground 17, in particular the floor, by an amount corresponding to the usual height dimension of the table, for example a dining table. Whereby for example the surface 5 of the cradle table section 16 is arranged at a height of 700 to 800mm, for example 750mm, relative to the ground 17.

Connecting strips 6, 7; the connecting corner members 9 as well as the fixing brackets 13 and, if necessary, the table segments 2 can be made of a metal material, for example aluminium. Furthermore, in particular, the fastening bracket 13 and/or the connecting angle part 12 can also be made of steel. If necessary, elements such as, for example, the connecting strips 6 and 7 and/or the connecting corner pieces 12 and/or the table segments 2 can also be made of a plastic material. Furthermore, the components may also be made of metal reinforced plastic.

Between the connecting strips 6 next to the wall side and the corresponding fastening brackets 13, respectively, inflation springs 18 are arranged. The inflation spring 18 is, for example, hinged at one end to the connecting web 6 over approximately half the extension of the table section 2 from the fixing bracket 13 up to the next table section arranged vertically above it and at the other end to the lower end of the fixing section 14 of the fixing bracket 13.

The pivot axis z is formed on a support point 19 formed on the fastening section 14 and on a support point 20 on the slat side. The swing axis is oriented the same as the hinge axis x and y.

Furthermore, as can be seen in particular from the detail view in fig. 2, a horizontal spacing dimension b of the carrier-side support points 19 from the surface of the facing wall 8 is obtained, which in the shelf configuration is greater than the corresponding spacing dimension c of the support points 20 on the connecting web 6. It follows that, starting from the support point 19 on the mounting bracket 13, the inflation spring 18 is oriented upward and is inclined in the direction of the wall 8, so that a corresponding force component is thereby obtained which enters the wall 8 vertically upward and thus horizontally.

The shelf can thus be held in the erected installation state according to fig. 1 only by the aforementioned arrangement of the inflation spring 18. Furthermore, in addition, a fixing in the shelf configuration can be provided which needs to be performed manually.

For example, screws, such as, for example, threaded screws 21 or the like, which in the rack configuration can penetrate the connecting strips 7 inward or clamp the connecting strips 7 to the corresponding connecting angle part 9, in particular the vertical section 11 thereof, or prevent them from entering the pivot path, can be provided in the region of the outer connecting strips 7.

The shelf 1 can only be deflected from the shelf configuration into the table configuration according to fig. 7 if necessary after loosening the transverse screws 21.

Here, a trapezoidal transition of the connecting webs 6, 7 and the connecting angle 9 is achieved on account of the articulation of the connecting webs 6 and 7 on the fastening bracket 13 and the connection of the connecting webs 6 and 7 to one another via the connecting angle 9, wherein on account of the arrangement described above a horizontal orientation of the segment surface 5 is obtained both in any intermediate position and in the final state of the table configuration (see also fig. 4 and 6).

During the downward swinging movement of the shelf 1, the longitudinal axis u of the inflating spring 18 connecting the support points 19 and 20 passes through the vertical direction (see line S in fig. 5). The support point 20 on the slat side runs on a circumferential line L at the midpoint on the hinge axis x. Starting from this state according to the shelf configuration, the length or the distance of the support points 19 and 20 from one another is reduced here in the course of the deflection in the direction of the table configuration. The inflation spring 18 retracts accordingly.

The downward swinging movement can be limited by a stop. For this purpose, a support 22, for example in the form of a pin, is provided on the fastening bracket 13, for example on the horizontal section 10. The facing narrow sides of the downwardly swinging connecting slats 6 can be secured to the support (see the sectional view in fig. 11).

The connecting strip 6 extends preferably horizontally in this stop position, as does the connecting strip 7 (see fig. 7). Here, the table sections 2 extend with reference to their surface 5 in a common horizontal plane E, which is also predefined by the console table sections 16 in the shelf configuration, wherein the further table section 2 beyond the console table section 16 is configured essentially cantilevered via the support on its connecting corner 9 and the connection to the connecting webs 6 and 7. The table sections 2 are supported at the necessary times via the connecting strips 6 and 7, preferably only on the fixing brackets 13, in particular using the struts 22.

As can be seen in particular from the detailed illustration of fig. 8, in the table configuration an orientation of the gas-filled spring 18 is achieved in which the spacing dimension b between the bracket-side support point 19 and the surface of the facing wall 8 is smaller than the spacing dimension c between the slat-side support point 20 and the wall 8. It is thereby achieved that the direction of the longitudinal axis u of the gas-filled spring 18, starting from the support point 19 on the fixing bracket 13, tends in the direction of the free end of the table 23 formed overall by the table section 2, to which free end the force component in the horizontal direction in the introduction system of the gas-filled spring 18 is correspondingly directed.

This position of the table configuration can be additionally fixed, for example by means of a further screw, if appropriate a further threaded head screw 24, which acts, for example, in a lockable manner on the facing surface of the horizontal section 10 of the respective connecting corner piece 9.

Furthermore, a locking lever 25, which is, for example, pivotably articulated to the respective connecting rail 6, can be provided on both sides of the rack 1, respectively, in each case one frame R or in each case in. The locking lever has a lever arm 26 which is articulated on the outside of the wall of the connecting web 6 and from which a locking projection 29, which engages in a grid which is flanked by narrow sides 27, 28 of the connecting webs 6 and 7 which point towards one another, emerges. The locking projection can be oriented in the basic state, for example, by a spring being provided, which initially prevents the shelf 1 from taking up the final position during the deflection from the shelf configuration into the table configuration.

By swinging the shelf 1 down, the connecting slats 6 and 7 are brought closer together with the increasing deflection angle towards the horizontal until the slats are oriented horizontally in the table configuration. Before the horizontal orientation is reached, the locking projection 29 which is hinged to the connecting web 6 rests in a locked manner on the narrow side 28 of the connecting web 7, so that, firstly, no further pivoting movement in the direction of the table configuration can be achieved. In this case, it is necessary to intentionally pivot one or both locking levers 25 into a pivoted state in which the respective locking projection 29 effects a further pivoting movement into a horizontal orientation.

It is hereby achieved that the user may intentionally reach this state by moving the locking bar 25 before reaching the table configuration. By preferably arranging two locking levers 25 on both sides of the shelf 1, each corresponding to one of the frames R, both hands are arranged in a non-hazardous area, in particular outside the clamping area between the table sections 2.

In the case of a swing-back movement from the table configuration into the shelf configuration, the shelf 1 can be lifted up by the force of the inflation spring 18 by the longitudinal axis u of the inflation spring 18 exceeding the vertical S until it comes to rest against the wall 8 and ends automatically.
