Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a table top, a leg and a worktable comprising a table top and legs. The table top has a honeycomb structure which extends along a main extension plane of the table top, with one or more areas being cut out from the honeycomb structure in accordance with a predetermined layout for receiving electrical and/or mechanical components. The leg has one or more decorative elements each having an areal main extension, the one or more decorative elements extending along their areal main dimensions over at least part of the surface of the leg and being fixed to the leg. Further, a worktable having such a table top and such a leg is described. A system comprising a worktable with a table top and legs of this type as well as a packaging for packing the worktable is also described.

Claims

1. A table top for a worktable comprising:

a honeycomb structure extending along a main extension plane of the table top; and

one or more cut out areas cut out from the honeycomb structure in accordance with a predetermined layout for accommodating electrical and/or mechanical components.

2. The table top according to claim 1, wherein the table top comprises two panel elements spaced apart from each other in a thickness direction perpendicular to the main extension plane of the table top, wherein the honeycomb structure is arranged between the two panel elements.

3. A worktable comprising:

the table top according to claim 1; and

legs.

4. The worktable according to claim 3, wherein the worktable is electrically height-adjustable and one or more control components for controlling the electrical height adjustment are integrated in the one or more cut out areas.

5. The worktable according to claim 4, wherein the one or more control components include an electrical safety device configured to lock the electrical height adjustment, wherein the electrical safety device have a contact element for cooperating with a mating contact element for enabling or locking the electrical height adjustment.

6. The worktable according to claim 4,

wherein electric drives configured to adjust the height are integrated in the legs,

wherein the electric drives are connected via one or more cables to the one or more control components, and

wherein a retraction mechanism is integrated into the table top or into the legs, the retraction mechanism configured to pull in the one or more cables of the electric drives when the legs are brought from a first assembly state into a second assembly state.

7. The worktable according to claim 3, wherein the legs or parts of the legs are variably adjustable in their orientation relative to the main extension plane of the table top, wherein, in a first assembly state, the legs or parts of the legs are adjustable parallel or almost parallel to the main extension plane of the table top, wherein, in a second assembly state, the legs or parts of the legs are adjustable perpendicularly to the main extension plane of the table top and are fixable with respect to the table top in this position, and wherein the worktable is configured to change between the first assembly state and the second assembly state.

8. A leg for a worktable, the leg comprising:

one or more decorative elements,

wherein each element has an areal main dimension,

wherein the one or more decorative elements extend along their areal main dimensions over at least part of a surface of the leg and

wherein the one or more decorative elements are fixed to the leg.

9. A worktable comprising:

the leg according to claim 8.

10. A system comprising:

a worktable comprising;

a table top; and

legs; and

a packaging,

wherein the table top has mounting openings for receiving the legs or parts of the legs in a mounted position perpendicular to a main extension plane of the table top,

wherein the legs or the parts of the legs are stored so as to be parallel or almost parallel to the main extension plane of the table top in a dismantled position, and

wherein the legs or the parts of the legs are held in the dismantled position one or more first packaging elements of the packaging which at least partially surround the legs or the parts of the legs,

wherein the mounting openings in the table top are concealed by one or more second packaging elements of the packaging, and

wherein the table top, the legs or the parts of the legs, the first and second packaging elements are at least partially surrounded by one or more overpack elements of the packaging.
