Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9200690A1] A kit for making office desks with at least one desk top (2), bearers (4) to support the desk tops and supports (6) with footrests. There are bearing arms (20) for the desk tops (2). Connecting components (10) interconnect the bearers (4) with the supports (6) and the bearing arms (20) and possibly supporting arms (26) for additional components and/or superstructures. The bearers (4) are rectangular-section tubes. The connecting components have a lower section (12) with a rectangular recess (14) open at the top to fit a bearer (4). The lower part (14) has a channel (24) at the bottom, in its longitudinal direction, to take the upper end of a support (6) or the end section of one of the supporting arms (26). To close off the recess (14) of the lower part and to clamp the lower part to the bearer (4) there is a cover plate (16) or the end piece of a bearing arm (20) or a spacer (56). With such a kit it is very easy to set up an office desk an only a limited number of different parts is needed. It is possible to fit a horizontal cable channel (40) with a hinged cover (44) at the back of one of the bearers which is accessible only when the desk top is pulled forward and has a set of brushes (46) for taking cables out between the edge of the closed hinged cover (44) and the rear edge of the cable channel (40).
