Laboratory table assembly system
View Patent ↗The present invention relates to a laboratory table assembly system capable of providing configuration diversity such that an upper surface of a table, which is used in a laboratory, is selectively adjoined and extended by another upper surface in the forward/rearward/leftward/rightward direction with regard to the existing upper surface of the table, while adjusting the height of the table in conformity with the working situation, and a shelf can be arranged on a part of the table.
1. A laboratory table assembly system comprising:
support frames ( 10 ) provided to vertically support an upper surface of the table at, at least four locations of the upper surface, and the support frames each including: a slot ( 11 ) formed on each of four surfaces of the support frame, with a pair of stop protrusions ( 11 ′) protruding on opposed sides of the slot to face each other; and a hollow part ( 12 ) having a quadrangular cross-section;
a sub-frame ( 20 ) locked to each of the support frames ( 10 ) by being inserted into the hollow part ( 12 ) of each of the support frames divided into an upper part and a lower part, the sub-frame allowing a length of the support frame adjusted by extent of exposure of the sub-frame between the upper part and the lower part of the support frame;
a spacer ( 30 ) including ribs ( 31 ) engaged with the stop protrusions ( 11 ′) of the slots ( 11 ) of a pair of the support frames ( 10 ) provided in parallel and adjacent to each other, such that the pair of the support frames ( 10 ), each of which engaging with a corresponding rib ( 31 ) of the spacer ( 30 ) at a corresponding stop protrusion ( 11 ′), is held at positions spaced apart from each other at a predetermined interval by the spacer;
a bracket ( 40 ) including: a rib ( 41 ) provided at a first end of the bracket, and engaged with the stop protrusions ( 11 ′) of the slot ( 11 ) perpendicularly to the support frames ( 10 ); and a locking groove ( 42 ) with a cut portion ( 42 ′) provided at a second end of the bracket;
a connection frame ( 50 ) having a cross-section corresponding to the locking groove ( 42 ) of the bracket ( 40 ) removably engaged with the locking groove ( 42 ), and including a protruding portion ( 51 ) provided on a surface in a longitudinal direction removably engaged with the cut portion ( 42 ′) provided in the locking groove ( 42 );
a corner member ( 60 ) including: a first coupling member ( 61 ) having a cut portion ( 61 ′) on a first surface of the first coupling member for allowing the connection frame inserted into the cut portion ( 61 ′); and a second coupling member ( 62 ) integrally provided on a second surface of the first coupling member ( 61 ) and having a cut portion ( 62 ′) for allowing another connection frame ( 50 ) inserted into the cut portion ( 62 ′), such that the connection frames ( 50 ) are connected perpendicular to each other; and
a cross member ( 70 ) including: a first coupling member ( 71 ) provided in a center of the cross member and having a cut portion ( 71 ′) for allowing the connection frame to penetrate through the cut portion ( 71 ′); and second and third coupling members ( 72 and 73 ) integrally provided on opposite sides of the first coupling member and respectively having cut portions ( 72 ′ and 73 ′) for allowing additional connection frames inserted into the cut portions ( 72 ′ and 73 ′) in a cross direction to the first coupling member, such that the connection frame ( 50 ) and the additional connection frames ( 50 ) are connected to cross each other.
2. The laboratory table assembly system of claim 1 , wherein
the sub-frame ( 20 ) has a quadrangular cross-section so as to slide in the hollow part ( 12 ) of each of the support frames ( 10 ) having a quadrangular cross-section.
3. The laboratory table assembly system of claim 1 , wherein
the support frames ( 10 ), the sub-frame ( 20 ), and the connection frame ( 50 ) are made of aluminum profiles and are cut into required sizes for use; and
the spacer ( 30 ), the bracket ( 40 ), the corner member ( 60 ), and the cross member ( 70 ) are formed into modularized standards through injection molding suitably for the frames.
