"Rotatable support plate

The invention relates to an extendable support plate Metal with a beveled stiffening edge all around, especially for televisions that have a turntable is rotatably mounted on a smaller intermediate plate, which is attached to the movable section of two telescopic guides is attached, the fixed portion of which is attached to a piece of furniture in which the entire Arrangement including television is retractable.

In known such support plates made of metal, the edge is folded down all around for stiffening. A distance is maintained between the support plate and the turntable, for example by means of an intermediate layer a wooden plate. This distance is required so the lower edge of the stiffening edge turns over the telescopic guides when the support plate is turned. The height of the stiffening edge cannot be reduced because the load-bearing capacity would suffer. The known arrangement therefore has a height of approx. 5 cm, which is undesirable in many cases. because this height has an unsightly effect on the furniture in terms of interior design.

The object of the present invention is to provide such an extendable and rotatable support plate assembly in the Yeise to improve that their overall height, which is on the piece of furniture in the design of the visible front affects, is reduced.

This object is achieved, based on a support plate of the type mentioned in accordance with the invention, by that the support plate is attached directly to the turntable, and that the rear stiffening edge upwards is folded.

By attaching the support plate directly to the turntable, that is, without between the support plate and the turntable a certain distance is maintained, and by the folding of the rear stiffening edge after above, the height of the arrangement is significantly reduced. It is neither impaired nor the stability the rotatability is restricted in a disruptive manner. It

To reach In addition to the rear stiffening edge, larger pivot angles could also be used in the front stiffening edge and, if necessary, the two lateral stiffening edges be folded upwards. In addition, the side stiffening edges, which adhere to the. Narrow sides of the pull-out support plate are lower in height be than the two stiffening edges located on the long sides, because the plate in the transverse direction is already stiffer because of the smaller dimensions and is also less stressed in this direction will. Since the length of the support plate is always much greater than its width, the side edges are away from the turntable further away, so do not hinder the pivoting.

The intermediate plate is usually placed on the movable sections of the telescopic guides and fastened there. In order to achieve a further reduction in the overall height, it is provided in preferred embodiments, that the intermediate plate is attached to the lower region of the movable sections of the telescopic guide is. As a result, the overall height of the arrangement can be further reduced by approximately the height of the telescopic guide. There is the turntable with its bearing balls in the space between the telescopic guides, so that the total required Tlatz is not from the sum of the heights of these two components, but in this embodiment of the invention only the higher of the two components determines the overall height.

In some cases, the attachment of the intermediate plate to the lower portion of the movable sections of the

Telescopic guides cause difficulties or be inexpedient. In another preferred embodiment of the invention, the intermediate plate is therefore on the Top of the movable sections of the telescopic guide attached and it is at least in the area of the base of the turntable pulled down. By the amount by which the intermediate plate in the area of the ground surface of the turntable is pulled down, the Reduced overall height. This amount can at most approximately correspond to the height of the turntable. Is beneficial in particular that the intermediate plate is additionally stiffened by the area that is pulled down becomes more dimensionally stable. The arrangement is therefore easier be formed because the intermediate plate can be made of thin_ rem material, but still the same Resilience is achieved.

In those cases in which the telescopic guides should not be visible at least from the front, provision is made for the height of the front and, if applicable, the lateral reinforcement edges to be selected so that they completely cover the sections of the telescopic guide. It is achieved in this way that the arrangement has an attractive appearance for the user. It goes without saying that wood coatings and the like can also be provided in order to adapt the appearance of the arrangement to the piece of furniture even when the support plate is extended. When the support plate is pushed in, the arrangement is preferably covered.

The reduction in the overall height of the arrangement not only facilitates the design of the arrangement with such a

./ Further details and configurations of the present Invention emerge from the following description of an embodiment shown in the drawing. Show it:

Fig. 1 is a perspective schematic view of a support plate according to the invention,

Fig. 2 is a section along the line H-II of Pig. 1,

Fig. 3 is a section along the line IH-III of Fig. 2, but with a recessed turntable, and

4 shows a section through another embodiment

with recessed turntable, which has the same cutting plane as the cut of the Pig. 3.

Of two telescopic guides 1 and 2, a fixed section 3 or 4 is not in each case on one of the rest illustrated piece of furniture attached. Movable sections 5 are located on the fixed sections 3 and 4, respectively or 6 longitudinally displaceable. Preference acts Telescopic guides 1 and 2 are fully extendable telescopes that are easily guided in spheres.

22HA24

The two movable sections 5 and 6, which are arranged parallel to one another, carry a between them Intermediate plate 7, which in a suitable manner, for example by points, on the movable sections 5 and 6 is attached. Balls 9, which are guided in a cage 8 and run on an annular track, run on the intermediate plate 7 revolve around a pin 10 which is coaxial with the ring track. A carrier plate rests on the balls 9 11, which is centered relative to the intermediate plate 7 by the pin 10. The carrier plate 11 is easily rotatable about the axis of the pin 10, as the Balls 9 result in very little friction.

The carrier plate 1 is along its front edge 12 with a downwardly beveled, relatively wide stiffening edge 13 provided that the carrier plate 11, which consists of relatively thin sheet metal, has good rigidity confers. In the same way, stiffening edges 16 are provided on adjacent narrow side edges 14 and 15 and 17 bevelled downwards. On the leading edge 12 parallel rear edge 18, however, is a stiffening edge 19 in the opposite direction, that is bevelled towards the top. The front stiffening edge covers together with the side stiffening edges and 17 remove the telescopic guides so that the telescopic guides 1 and 2 are not visible. The rear stiffening edge 19, on the other hand, is bent upwards so that it is pulled out of the plane of the telescopic guides 1 and 2 is. It can therefore not hinder a pivoting movement about the axis of the pin 10; it can through it the support plate 11 at a relatively large angle from the illustrated middle position to both sides

309840/0148

221U24

be pivoted. The rear stiffening edge pulled upwards 19 does not interfere because it is covered by the device placed on the support plate. The inventive The arrangement therefore has a closed, attractive appearance.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, an intermediate plate 27 is provided, the central area of which is drawn downwards by approximately the diameter of the balls 9. The balls 9 revolve in this bowl-shaped recessed area. As a result, the lower surface 'of the support plate 11 is only a very small distance from the upper surface of the intermediate plate 7.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, an intermediate plate 37 is not attached to the top of the movable sections 5 and 6 of the telescopic guides 1 and 2, but is attached in the lower region of the movable sections 5 and 6. The attachment point of the intermediate plate 37 to the movable sections 5 and 6 and the diameter of the balls 9 are selected so that the lower surface of the support plate 11 is at a small distance from the closest area of the movable sections 5 and 6. In the two embodiments shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the overall height is therefore reduced compared to the embodiments of FIG. 1 and further.

It goes without saying that the invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiment presented , but deviations from it are possible without departing from the scope of the invention. In particular, individual

the features of the invention can be used individually or in combination.

In many cases it is expedient and provided in accordance with the present invention, including the front ones Bend the stiffening edge 13 upwards. This gives the television set placed on the support plate a guide and cannot be accidentally pushed off the plate. In addition, the possible pivot angle in cases where the distance between the front end of the movable sections 5 and 6 of the telescopic guides and the front stiffening edge of the support plate is relatively small. It goes especially well also that the distance between sections 5 and 6 of the telescopic guides and the lateral Edges, as well as the front stiffening edge, is much larger than the heavily schematized ones Representations, in particular of Figures 2 to 4, show.
