OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The main object of the present invention is a modular console for computers and the
like, which includes the perfect placement of all typical computer components and
also offers a large free working surface.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] At present, a large variety of tables or consoles are known which are adapted to
work with computers, which comprise an upper board and a support structure, enabling
modular assemblies and ducts for the cables.
[0003] For example, document
ES2090500 discloses a desk module for this purpose. It permits modular assemblies and implements
two different channels to separate the data and power cables.
[0004] Document
EP0643935 discloses an ergonomic workstation, configured with a particular orientation for
the operator and formed by several consoles. The monitors are CRT and adjustable.
It is ergonomically adapted according to US requirements.
[0005] Also, document
DE 29612108 discloses an office table formed by horizontal, vertical and transversal supports,
the vertical supports having a cross profile and further comprising internal cavities
for housing additional elements.
[0006] Finally, document
EP1806067 discloses a desk for computers which comprises a supporting structure and a work
surface. The structure is equipped with means of attachments of components and accessories.
[0007] Nevertheless, in these documents, and in general, consoles of this type do not achieve
a good separation of the working area from the area where the computers are positioned
and placed, producing an occupation or reduction in the working area, an invasion
of cables in many cases, and a laborious assembly and wiring of the equipment.
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0008] The modular console of the invention has a simple constitution which provides a perfect
separation of the working area and the equipment placement area, and a quick and functional
assembly.
[0009] The invention thus describes a modular console for computers and the like according
to claim 1, which comprises a structure with sides, as well as an upper board supported
by the structure and which constitutes a work surface, wherein the structure comprises
a visible rear frame equipped with direct means of attachment of components and accessories
and formed by a central upper portion and separate side portions. Furthermore, the
structure also comprises a horizontal upper front beam supported by the sides and
by a plurality of intermediate arms attached to the central portion of the frame.
[0010] Furthermore, the frame consists of tubular profiles, wherein the cables can be carried.
In another embodiment, the cables can be located in an external chute.
[0011] The accessories that can be assembled to support the computers or any other necessary
material are very varied, for example, supporting members for printers, monitors,
filers, connecting strips, lamps, drawers, etc
[0012] It further permits the easy assembly of several modules between one another, it being
possible to adopt even angular forms, which permit carrying out polygonal assemblies.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION
[0014] The modular console (1) of the invention, as shown in figures 1 and 1a, comprises
a structure (2) which supports a board (23), with the special characteristic that
the structure (2) includes a visible frame (3), i.e. which is not placed below the
board (23), but is accessible and has direct means of attachment of different components
and accessories, leaving the board (23) completely free as a work surface.
[0015] The structure (2) includes as components principally sides (6) and a plurality of
intermediate arms (15), which are shown in figure 1a, and which support a horizontal
upper front beam (13), this front beam (13) and the intermediate arms (15) cooperating
in the support of the board (23).
[0016] The frame (3) has tubular profiles of general elliptical section, configuring an
upper central portion (3a) and two side portions (3b), at whose lower ends are fitted
separate rear brackets (5). Inside the tubular profiles, the cables of the computers
can be arranged, as seen in figure 2, internally having a partition (110) which defines
two channels (111, 112) to separate power and data cables.
[0017] The means of attachment of different components and accessories, for their part,
consists of separate grooves (4, 4a) front and rear, which run throughout the length
of the frame (3) at the ends corresponding to the major axis of its section, and in
all its portions. Therein are inserted protuberances belonging to anchorings of the
different components and accessories.
[0018] These protuberances, in the case of the accessories, mainly comprise sliding elements
(88) of demountable detachment, shown in figure 3. Figure 2a shows the sliding elements
(88) opposite the grooves (4, 4a) of the frame whereon they slide and are fixed.
[0019] For modular assemblies, with several frames (see figures 4 and 4a), additional components
have been provided, consisting of intermediate sides (6a), also coupled to other intermediate
vertical portions (3c) which form part of two adjacent frames (3), corresponding to
two adjacent modular consoles (1) and which configure the major modular console (1
a).
[0020] Both the lateral sides (6) and the intermediate sides (6a) include (see figures 1
a and 4a) a node (11) wherefrom three extremities radially originate: a rear extremity
(8), a front descending extremity (9), and another front ascending extremity (10).
[0021] The free end of the rear extremity (8) is fixed to any of the portions (3a, 3b) of
the frame (3) -or also to the intermediate vertical frame (3c) in the case of modular
assemblies-. That of the front descending extremity (9) to another front bracket (12),
and that of the front ascending extremity (10) to the front beam (13). The front bracket
(12) is strapped to the rear bracket (5) by a lower strap (14), and the free end of
the front ascending extremity (10) is strapped to the frame (3) -or to the common
area of the two adjacent frames, in the case of modular assemblies, by another upper
strap (95) wherefrom, furthermore, there originates from the upper part a support
(96) for the board (23).
[0022] The front brackets (12) and/or the rear brackets (5) are telescopic and can be height
adjusted to level the modular console (1) of the invention, for example, by axial
threaded rods or locking gears of their extension.
[0023] In this example of the invention, the three extremities (8, 9, 10) include separate
triangles of profiles and/or rods, which share one of their sides, forming the node
(11).
[0024] In the case of modular assemblies to form a major modular console (1 a) (see figures
4 and 4a), angular forms may arise to achieve, for example, polygonal assemblies.
In these cases, the intermediate vertical portion (3c) common to the adjacent frames
(3) includes an upper joint (89) whereto the upper portions (3a) of the adjacent frames
(3) are attached, as well as the upper strap (95) of the intermediate side (6a). Furthermore,
a triangular cover (100), level with the adjacent boards (23) has been provided by
a widened supporting member (96a) originating from the upper part of the upper strap
(95), to give continuity to the work surface.
[0025] The intermediate arms (15) components of the structure (2) which support the board
(23) (see figure 5) comprise a rear anchoring (190) to attach to the upper portion
(3a) of the frame (3), a front attachment (78) for fixing and support of the front
beam (13), and an intermediate table (22) to support the board (23), where bores are
implemented (79) precisely of attachment of the board (23). This rear anchoring (190)
comprises a lower bridge (191) provided with opposing protuberances consisting of:
a rear fixed tab (192) which is inserted in the rear groove (4a), and another front
tab (193) which is demountable and height-adjustable, to fix in the front groove (4).
Thanks to the possibility of height adjustment, the board (23) can optimally be levelled,
in short, it will be positioned in the upper part. In addition to the rear anchoring
(190), a horizontal flange (194) originates in the rear part.
[0026] With regard to the accessories which can be fixed to the upper portion (3a) of the
frame (3) we can cite the following non-limitatively:
- An accessory consisting of a supporting member (24) for computers (printers, etc)
(see figure 6), constituted by a sheet folded according to three folds: a central
fold (25) appreciably horizontal for support of the computer; and two end folds (26)
converging towards the upper portion (3a) of the frame (3), whose edges implement
a bilateral anchoring (290) for attachment to the frame (3).
- An accessory consisting of a communication module (80) (see figures 15 and 15a), constituted
by a casing (81) to support electronic equipment and equipped with bilateral anchoring
(290) for attachment to the upper portion (3a) of the frame (3).
[0027] The bilateral anchorings (290) mainly consist of flanges (295) adjacent to the grooves
(4, 4a), where the sliding elements (88) which will be inserted therein are fixed.
The flanges (295) may be implemented, for example, directly on the edges of the end
folds (26) of the supporting member (24) for computers, or implemented in a lower
protruding manner in the casing (81) of the communication module (80).
- An accessory consisting of a variant of the supporting member (24) for computers (see
figure 7), which additionally comprises two side aprons (25a) originating from the
upper part of the central fold (25), interlinked by an upper rear apron (26a), suitable,
for example for depositing files.
- An accessory consisting of a lower supporting member (50), which consists of, at least,
a vertical tube (51) provided with an upper anchoring (490) for fastening to the upper
portion (3a) of the frame (3), and which is projected through the lower part of the
frame (3). On this lower supporting member (50) formed by one or more vertical tubes
(51) it is possible to attach, for example: a cabinet (55) for a central processing
unit of a computer or similar (see figure 9); a ventilated container (56) to house
electrical connections (see figure 10); a clamp support (57) for a central processing
unit of a computer or similar (see figure 11); drawers (58) (see figure 12), or other

[0028] The upper anchoring (490) (see figures 10 and 10a) comprises a curved upper clamp
(491) with two end flanges (495) adjacent to the grooves (4, 4a), where the sliding
elements (88) which are inserted therein are fixed. The curved upper clamp (491) has
a shape adapted to the lower curvature of the upper portion (3a) of the frame (3),
avoiding bending when resting thereon. Figure 10c shows in detail how the sliding
elements (88) are connected to the upper curved clamp (491) for their sliding assembly
on the grooves (4, 4a) of the frame (3).
- An accessory consisting of a lamp (60) (see figure 13), constituted by a luminaire
(61), a switch, an articulated supporting member (62) and a lower anchoring (590)
for attachment to the upper portion (3a) of the frame (3).
[0029] The lower anchoring (590) (see figures 13a and 13b) comprises a curved lower clamp
(591) with two end flanges (595) adjacent to the grooves (4, 4a), where the sliding
elements (88) which are inserted therein are fixed. The lower curved clamp (591) also
has a form adapted to the upper curvature of the upper portion (3a) of the frame (3),
avoiding bending. From the lower curved clamp (591) originates an upper tubular body
(596) where the articulated supporting member (62) is coupled.
- An accessory consisting of a post (30) to hang flat screens (see figures 8 and 8a),
which has a lower versatile anchoring (390) for fastening on the upper portion (3a)
of the frame (3) -or also the rear anchorings (190) of the intermediate arms (15)-
and of an upper slide (33) height interlocking, equipped with an implement (34) of
extending arm (34a) of attachment of the flat screen. The possibility of also fixing
the post to the anchorings of the intermediate arms (15) avoids the existence of some
of these (15) from hampering the placement of this accessory.
[0030] The versatile anchoring (390) consists of a threaded hole, not represented, implemented
on the base of the post (30) where it can be attached thanks to the corresponding
screw, not represented, either to the flange (194) which forms part of the rear anchoring
(190) of any intermediate arm (15), or the upper tubular body (596) of a lower anchoring
