Abstract
A table base (2) features a table substructure (4) and pedestals which can be arranged at its ends. Supporting rails (24) featuring plug-in holes (28, 30, 32, 34) for supporting parts (12, 14) on the pedestal side and for cross-arms (20, 22) on the table base side are arranged parallel to the ends of the table base (2) in the area of connection between the table substructure (4) and the pedestals (6). The connection between the supporting rails (4), the cross-arms (20, 22) on the table base side and the supporting parts (12, 14) on the pedestal side is made in the form of a truss union so that the entire table base (2) is exceptionally stable while having the appearance of a light construction.
Claims21
A table base for a generally rectilinear table comprising:
- at least two cross-arms arranged in a longitudinal direction of the table for supporting a table top from below the top;
- pedestals for supporting the table top relative to the floor and located at opposite ends of the table, each of said pedestals having generally horizontal arranged supporting parts extending in the longitudinal direction of the table;
- and
- rails disposed horizontally and generally parallel to the ends of the table base underlying the table top and having spaced plug-in holes;
- the horizontally arranged supporting parts of the pedestal having an elongated sword-like shape for reception in the holes of the rails.
A table base for a generally rectilinear table comprising:
- at least two cross-arms arranged in a longitudinal direction of the table for supporting a table top from below the top;
- pedestals for supporting the table top relative to the floor and located at opposite ends of the table, each of said pedestals having generally horizontally arranged supporting parts extending in the longitudinal direction of the table;
- and
- rails for supporting the table top and arranged horizontally and parallel to the ends of the table base, said rails having locating holes for receiving said cross-arms on one side of the rails and plug-in holes for receiving said supporting parts of the pedestal on their opposite sides such that the supporting parts are received through the plug-in and locating holes with said supporting parts and cross-arms being telescopically receivable one within the other.
