ABSTRACT:
An office furniture piece combination of a plurality of pieces of office furniture, in particular office desks. A frame with a uniform cross piece has lateral legs which can be connected with each other by a non-free-standing coupling elements using bolts and receivers. A simple, rigid connection between the cross pieces of adjacent office furniture pieces and the coupling element, which can be made and released without tools, is achieved with receivers positioned into the front faces of the cross pieces. The exterior cross section of the coupling elements are essentially adapted to the exterior cross section of the cross pieces and support rotatably seated locking bolts which are oriented towards the receivers of the cross pieces. The coupling elements have a preset, identical dimension in the longitudinal direction of the cross pieces. The locking bolts extend from both front faces of the coupling elements with eccentric locking heads or clamping bolts. With the rotation of the locking bolts, the locking heads or clamping bolts inserted into the receivers of the cross pieces are automatically clamped therein or grip the receivers in the cross pieces from behind and clamp the cross pieces to the coupling element and to each other.
