Abstract: A table support for a work table or office desk having two lateral table legs, the upper ends of which are rigidly connected with each other with a cross piece and the lower ends of which have foot elements oriented towards the front and back of the work table or office desk. A simple structure with many add-on capabilities is achieved since the cross piece is formed by a tub-shaped sheet metal section which is open at the top, and the side walls of which are shaped as hollow sections. The side walls have connecting sections for fixing a cable channel cover on their interior side, facing each other. Connecting straps are inserted into both ends of the sheet metal section which, along with the side walls of sheet metal section and together with the base leg of the sheet metal section, are rigidly connected with the table legs. Insertion connectors are inserted into the ends of the side walls, which are formed as hollow sections, of the sheet metal section.

Abstract: The invention relates to a table with a table frame and a tabletop, which is settable in both height and inclination by a control device. Varying the height and inclination of the tabletop with a simple control device and a support frame is accomplished by providing that the control device has two support devices. The two support devices are pivotally attached to the support frame in the upper region of the middle cross member of the support frame about transversely extending pivot shafts. The support devices on the underside of the tabletop are supported on the tabletop about transversely extending pivot shafts, but are guided adjustably within the depth of the tabletop. The control device selectively raises the support devices individually or in common upward in the direction of the tabletop or lowers them individually or in common downward in the direction of the support frame, in the course of which platform-shaped pivot shafts of the support devices move toward or away from one another.
