Abstract

A table frame has a table leg with a housing part, a longitudinal beam and a transverse beam having two mutually opposite edge portions. A longitudinal beam protrusion of the longitudinal beam can be brought into contact, under preload, with one of the edge portions. A housing protrusion of the housing part can be brought into contact, under preload, with the other edge portion. The invention also relates to a table, comprising a tabletop and a table frame of this type. The table frame may be used in a table having a tabletop.

Claims (23)

1 . A table frame, comprising:

a longitudinal beam;

a transverse beam arranged at an end of the longitudinal beam, the transverse beam having two mutually opposite edge portions which delimit a recess in the transverse beam;

a table leg with a housing part;

wherein a longitudinal beam protrusion of the longitudinal beam can be brought into contact with one of the edge portions under preload; and

a housing protrusion of the housing part can be brought into contact with the other edge portion under preload;

wherein the longitudinal beam protrusion and the housing protrusion engage in the recess.

2 . The table frame according to claim 1 , wherein the housing part is box-shaped with two longitudinal walls and two housing protrusions, wherein the housing protrusions and the associated longitudinal wall are each formed integrally with one another.

3 . The table frame according to claim 1 , wherein the longitudinal beam has a retaining projection for engaging in a retaining recess of the transverse beam, wherein the retaining projection projects towards a contact surface for a tabletop.

4 . The table frame according to claim 1 , wherein the table leg is pivotable relative to the longitudinal beam.

5 . The table frame according to claim 4 , wherein a pivot axis is formed with a pin, wherein the pin is arranged on the housing part of the table leg.

6 . The table frame according to claim 5 , wherein an end section of a slot serves for abutment of the pin, wherein the slot is formed in a side wall of the longitudinal beam.

7 . The table frame according to claim 6 , wherein the slot is a curved slot.

8 . The table frame according to claim 4 , wherein a stop is arranged between the housing part and the longitudinal beam for the pivoting movement.

9 . The table frame according to claim 8 , wherein the stop is formed with a projection and a return recess.

10 . The table frame according to claim 1 , wherein the housing protrusion biases the transverse beam away from an abutment surface for a tabletop.

11 . The table frame according to claim 1 , wherein the table leg can be latched to the longitudinal beam.

12 . The table frame according to claim 11 , wherein a latching element is rotatably held on the longitudinal beam for latching the table leg, wherein the latching element is supported on the longitudinal beam via a spring element.

13 . The table frame according to claim 12 , wherein the latching element is a bracket.

14 . The table frame according to claim 12 , wherein the housing part has a setback for engaging behind with a latching tab.

15 . The table frame according to claim 1 , wherein a motor for adjusting the length of the table leg is arranged in the housing part.

16 . The table frame according to claim 1 , wherein the transverse beam has two further mutually opposite edge portions, and wherein a further longitudinal beam protrusion of the longitudinal beam can be brought into contact with one of the further edge portions under preload and a further housing protrusion of the housing part can be brought into contact with the other further edge portion under preload.

17 . A table having a tabletop and the table frame according to claim 1 .
