DE29914238U1 - Table for the presentation of goods - Google Patents

Description

The innovation relates to a table for presenting goods, with a base frame which has horizontally arranged frame parts and which carries posts on which at least one floor holding the goods and walls bordering the floor are arranged.

Tables of this type are primarily used in department stores.

The aim of the innovation is to create a table of the type presented here in which the posts can be easily connected to the base frame.

According to an extension of the innovation, the table should be designed in such a way that it can be safely transported with a pallet truck or a small forklift.

The solution to the primary problem is that the posts are connected to the base frame via plug-in spacers and that each spacer has a collar and each collar is arranged between the base frame and one of the posts when the table is assembled.

In the spirit of the extension, it is proposed to arrange the lower border of the frame parts lower than the collar of each intermediate piece.

The table can be assembled in a very short time by simply plugging and joining the individual components together without the aid of assembly materials such as screws, nuts and the like. The components can be sent to department stores to save space and assembled into tables there. Both are extremely advantageous.

It is also advantageous that the frame parts of the base frame are arranged so low in relation to the position of the collar of the intermediate pieces that the frame parts can be driven under by the tines of a lifting device and the entire table can be lifted and transported without the attached posts becoming detached from the base frame.

The innovation is explained in more detail using an example. It shows

Fig. 1 a table;

Fig. 2 an intermediate piece and

Fig. 3 a foot with intermediate piece, frame parts and a post.

The table 1 shown in Fig. 1 for displaying goods has a base frame 2 which has four feet 5 made of square tubes which are welded to four horizontally arranged frame parts 3 to form a rectangular frame. A post 8, also made of square tubes, extends upwards from each foot 5, with an intermediate piece 10 arranged between each post 8 and each foot 5. The posts 8 support at least one base 15 in a known manner. The base 15 is surrounded by walls 16 which are also connected to the posts 8 in a known manner. The base 8 and the walls 16 can be attached to the posts 8 without screws.

Fig. 2 shows an intermediate piece 10 preferably made of plastic. Starting from a collar 11, a plug-in pin 12, 12' extends upwards and downwards on the intermediate piece 10, whereby the downwardly directed plug-in pin 12 is inserted into a foot 5 that is open at the top and each post 8 is inserted with its downwardly open end onto the upwardly directed plug-in pin 12'. The dimensions of the parts to be plugged together are selected so that they can be easily plugged together and also removed without creating wobbly connections. A suitable material for the intermediate pieces 10 is plastic, for example polyamide.

Fig. 3 shows a foot 5 of the base frame 2 with a part of the frame parts 3. The intermediate piece 10 is inserted with its downwardly directed insertion pin 12 from above into the upwardly open opening 6 of the foot 5. The collar 11 rests with its lower limit 13 on the upper edge 7 of the foot 5. The upwardly directed insertion pin 12' is exposed. A post 8 can be placed from above on the upwardly directed insertion pin 12', which then rests with its lower edge 9 on the upper limit 14 of the collar 11 when inserted. In this way, the posts 8 can be placed on the base frame with the help of the intermediate pieces 10. The lower limit 4 of the frame parts 3 is set lower (dimension A).

arranged as the collar 11 of each intermediate piece 10. This means that a fully assembled table 1 can also be safely transported with a forklift truck that drives under the frame parts 3. The frame parts 3 rest on the tines of the forklift truck.

Instead of square tubes for producing the feet 5, the frame parts 3 and the posts 8, tubes with other cross-sectional shapes can also be used. The intermediate pieces 10 must then be adapted to these cross-sections accordingly.
