Description

The invention relates to a table for the presentation of goods with a Warenschütte carrying table legs, in which at least one table leg by means of a support for a goods carrier upwards extensible is.

In particular, it is about a so-called "hit table" or "Action table", with at least one of the legs worn Schütte is equipped, for example, with special sales promotions cost offered and presented accordingly Pick up goods.

If the action goods are of such different types, So about equipment or clothing for the exercise of a sport, There is usually the problem that these are also common in customers Disarranged goods are not presented in an appropriate range to let. To order order in the assortment and to be able to maintain it, one has therefore already proceeded to expand such presentation tables with separate product carriers, with those apart from those located in the goods chute Were also other other goods as an eye-catcher especially in the field of vision of the customers can be moved. Such presentation or action tables are on the of the STOREbest GmbH & Co. KG, D - 23560 Lübeck, issued product sheet no. 2 / 16-00-01 (April 2000).

In the goods carriers it may u. a. around shelves, textile goods carriers, Holder for hangers with clothes, other goods and the like act separately from at least one table attachment Support be worn and with which additional goods above of the table or laterally presented on the table surface protruding can be.

Such supports or holders for goods carriers are kept in department stores and stored and are used only when needed. There are Usually essay or plug-in elements, the top in a corresponding prepared shot at the table or table leg stuck and where you can then attach the goods carrier.

It is disadvantageous in such systems that the support or columns separate Parts are, ie stored when not in use and before use first taken from the warehouse and at the table or on top of relevant table leg must be mounted, which understandably a considerable effort. Continue to have so far used supports the disadvantage that they are a fixed predetermined Have length, so are very often unsatisfactory, when it matters, at or on the respective goods carrier present goods at a favorable level or to offer so that the customer can examine them conveniently and possibly also can take. Remedy can be so far supports create with different lengths, but by making and stocking a correspondingly large number of only partially for use coming supports is quite complex.

The object of the invention is to eliminate the indicated Disadvantage. So it should in particular a table for the presentation of goods be created, which provides a simple variation of the available Provides lengths of a single type of prop without the props externally stored, stored and assembled as needed have to.

To solve this problem is starting from a table of the beginning mentioned type of this inventively designed so that the Support within a hollow trained table leg axially guided adjustable is, in a first end position in the table leg is sunk, in a second end position as far as possible protrudes from the table leg and in the second end position and in intermediate positions relative to Table leg secured against a lowering movement is lockable.

In this solution, each support is an integral part of a table leg. If the support in question is not needed, it is in the first end position sunk in the table leg, so that it is not visible and the appearance of the presentation table does not bother. Due to the possibility of the support relative to the table leg in intermediate positions To lock, can be different usable lengths or Adjust heights of the supports as required. If the prop as far as possible pulled out of the table leg or protrudes, results in the second end position.

Each support used goes through the upper one End of the associated table leg closing plug, the one the second end position determining stop for at the bottom end of the column located guide means forms, while at the top of the Prop or supports each a lid is provided, which in at first Endstellung located support the plug area and also above Covered locking means covered.

The guide may be a multi-wing structure whose radially extending Wing with its free end with a little bit of play Inner wall of the table leg are opposite. In this way one becomes Tilt the support in their axial adjustments in one or prevented in another direction.

To lock the support manually operable locking means are provided. These expediently consist of one with recesses in the support in positive engagement lockable bar, with after the production of the positive connection a drop in the Support in the table leg is avoided.

A special and advantageous embodiment of the bolt results in that the bolt with a slot, the support comprehensive by radial displacement with hooks in and through the respective Recesses of the support pluggable and in a horizontal plane with the Support can be locked, with the hooks above the respective Recesses will engage behind the column wall and the bar weight-loaded horizontally rests on a support surface, the for example, from a mounted on top of the plug disc can be formed.

Each equipped with a support table leg is made of a hollow cylinder profile made, while each support made of a rectangular hollow profile with individually or in pairs superimposed recesses in the form of vertical slots, being in adaptation to the table leg profile of the top of each post and lid each bar has a circular circumference.

a bolt for locking the support in an intermediate position or in the second end position.

The table 1 shown in Figs. 1 to 3 has four legs 2, the one as Carrying lattice construction exported goods chute 3 and below by means Struts 4 are connected, which is a frame stiffening the table form.

Of the four legs are the two in relation to the representations equipped each back left and right legs with legs 5, of which according to FIG. 1 which is a rear left completely is sunk into the associated table leg 2 and in the mentioned first end position, while the other rear right-hand support 5 in an intermediate position from the associated Table leg 2 out and locked in this position, at Accordingly, only a part of the total available column length is being used.

In contrast, the supports 5 are in the representations of the Figs. 2 and 3 in a position depending on the total usable column length may mean an intermediate position, but here as a second end position as far as possible from the legs 2 outstanding Supports 5 should be considered. On the locking of the columns in different Intermediate positions will be discussed later.

The supports 5 each pass through a plug 6 (FIG. 4), which under elastic Deformation pressed into the upper end of the respective table leg 2 is and at the top with a likewise run by the respective support rigid disc 7 is covered, which remains on the Bordered area of the table leg. At the upper end of the supports 5 is each mounted a lid 8, which is located in the first end position Support the area of the plug with the disc 7 and also one covers to be described latch, so that these parts at in first end position supports are not visible to the viewer are. In Fig. 1, this situation is related to the rear left table leg 2 shown.

At the bottom of each post are guide means 9, with which the supports 5 at the axial adjustment in the table leg 2 inside at the Wall guided and secured against tilting. These guides consist of FIG. 4 of a multi-leaf structure, their radially extending wings with their free end over the circumference the support 5 protrude and with little play the inner wall of the table leg 2, in practice usually the end some wings will rest against this inner wall. Another guide the supports 5 results from the plug 6 that has passed through them and especially by the rigid plug disc 7, whose passage in his Contour with a certain excess of the contour of the columns is adjusted.

Incidentally, the plugs 6 form a second end position of the supports 5 determining or the maximum stroke movement of the supports upwards limiting stop, against which the wings of the Guide means 9 during extension of the support 5 in this end position for To arrive plant.

The means for locking the respective support 5 in intermediate positions consist of a cooperating with recesses 11 in the support Latch 10, which engages over the recesses with the support can be brought.

The bolt 10 has a support 5 comprehensive slot 12, such that the latch from the initial position shown in Fig. 4 out radially or transversely to the support 5 can be moved so far that provided on the bolt 10 and upwardly projecting lugs or angled Hook 13 through the for the desired intermediate position selected recesses 11 are completely moved through. By subsequently lifting the bolt 10 then the hooks 13 above the recesses 11, the support 5 engage behind inside. Of the Latch is held in this position in a horizontal plane, so that by lowering the support 5 in the table leg finally on the one level horizontal support surface forming disc 7 comes to rest and the positive connection by the downwardly acting weight of the support and the goods carrier located on it inevitably remains. To loosen the bolt, the procedure is reversed.

Based on the respective representations can be seen that here chosen embodiment, each equipped with a support Table leg is made of a cylindrical hollow profile and the supports a rectangular hollow profile arranged in pairs one above the other Recesses in the form of vertical slots exist. Farther have the above in the respective table leg plug, the Plug belonging disc, the top of each support located lid and finally, each bar has a circular circumference, and indeed for adaptation to the table leg hollow profile.

The goods carriers are hooked by appropriate fittings in the slots 1 1 of the supports 5 attached thereto. These slots can Incidentally, in a corresponding arrangement on the back of the Provided support.

The goods carriers 14 and 15 shown in FIG. 2 are Textilwarenträger, of which the carrier 14 as a U-shaped bracket and the Carrier 15 is designed as a rod with two carrier elements, for example be held with clamp feet on the rod.

The three goods carriers shown in FIG. 3 are a shelf 16 and a narrow goods chute 17 which on the Back of the supports are fastened, while at the front another shelf 18 with two compartments is located.

As profiles for the table legs and supports as well as goods carriers are expediently in store and especially in store shelves Uses standard and manufacturer-available standard elements so that the presentation table is manufactured inexpensively and in the manner of a modular system according to the wishes of the customer can be put together variably.
