Supporting frame for a piece of furniture
The invention relates to a supporting frame with a base unit comprising a compartment at least for partial reception of the housing of the lifting column ( 79 ) and a cross member ( 74 ) for mounting on the base unit ( 59 ). The supporting frame comprises a locking element ( 94 ), which when placed in-a locked position exerts a squeezing force between the base unit ( 59 ), the lifting column housing and the cross member ( 74 ), by which the lifting column housing and the cross member ( 74 ) are fixed in the base unit ( 59 ). The supporting frame further comprises means for retaining the locking element in the locked position. The lifting columns are of the type, which comprises telescopically arranged profiles with an upper and lower end to which upper end a housing is secured.
1. A supporting frame comprising:
an electrically driven lifting column with telescopically arranged profiles, wherein the telescopically arranged profiles have an upper and lower end, to which upper end a lifting column housing is secured,
a base unit comprising a compartment at least for partial reception of the lifting column housing,
a cross member for mounting on the base unit, and
a locking element, which when placed in a locked position exerts a squeezing force between the base unit, the lifting column housing and the cross member, by which the lifting column housing and the cross member are fixed in the base unit, and wherein the locking element comprises means for retaining the locking element in the locked position.
2. The supporting frame according to claim 1 , wherein the cross member has a C-shaped cross section for engagement with the base unit.
3. The supporting frame according to claim 2 , wherein the base unit comprises flaps for engagement with the cross member.
4. The supporting frame according to claim 3 , wherein the flaps are in continuation with the compartment of the base unit.
5. The supporting frame according to claim 1 , wherein the base unit has a U-shaped cross section with two parallel side walls having a mutual distance between them which corresponds to the width of the lifting column housing.
6. The supporting frame according to claim 5 , wherein the base unit comprises a transverse wall between the side walls of the base unit.
7. The supporting frame according to claim 6 , wherein the transverse wall comprises a tongue, which with an end protrudes into the compartment in the base unit for at least partial reception of the lifting column housing.
8. The supporting frame according to claim 7 , wherein the lifting column housing comprises an indentation for engagement with the tongue in the transverse wall or the cross member.
9. The supporting frame according to claim 1 , wherein the cross member comprises a tongue, which when the cross member is mounted on the base unit, with a free end protrudes into the compartment of the base unit at least for partial reception of the lifting column housing.
10. A height-adjustable table comprising the supporting frame according to claim 1 .
11. A supporting frame comprising:
a lifting column with telescopically arranged profiles, wherein the telescopically arranged profiles have an upper and lower end, to which upper end a lifting column housing is secured,
a base unit comprising a compartment at least for partial reception of the lifting column housing,
a cross member for mounting on the base unit, and
a locking element, which when placed in a locked position exerts a squeezing force between the base unit, the lifting column housing and the cross member, by which the lifting column housing and the cross member are fixed in the base unit, and wherein the locking element comprises means for retaining the locking element in the locked position,
wherein the base unit has a U-shaped cross section with two parallel side walls having a mutual distance between them which corresponds to the width of the lifting column housing.
12. The supporting frame according to claim 11 , wherein the base unit comprises a transverse wall between the side walls of the base unit.
13. The supporting frame according to claim 12 , wherein the transverse wall comprises a tongue, which with an end protrudes into the compartment in the base unit for at least partial reception of the lifting column housing.
14. The supporting frame according to claim 13 , wherein the lifting column housing comprises an indentation for engagement with the tongue in the transverse wall or the cross member.
15. A supporting frame comprising:
a lifting column with telescopically arranged profiles, wherein the telescopically arranged profiles have an upper and lower end, to which upper end a lifting column housing is secured,
a base unit comprising a compartment at least for partial reception of the lifting column housing,
a cross member for mounting on the base unit, and
a locking element, which when placed in a locked position exerts a squeezing force between the base unit, the lifting column housing and the cross member, by which the lifting column housing and the cross member are fixed in the base unit, and wherein the locking element comprises means for retaining the locking element in the locked position,
wherein the cross member comprises a tongue, which when the cross member is mounted on the base unit, with a free end protrudes into the compartment of the base unit at least for partial reception of the lifting column housing.
