Table device

Abstract

The invention is related to a table device ( 1 ) comprising a tabletop ( 2 ) with an upper side ( 3 ) and an underside ( 4 ), and also at least one table leg ( 5 ) connected to the tabletop ( 2 ). An inductive charging device ( 10 ) is arranged between the upper side ( 3 ) and the underside ( 4 ) of the tabletop ( 2 ) in the direction of the height (H). The table device ( 1 ) further comprises a control device ( 20 ) that is connected in a communicating manner to at least one touch panel ( 21 ) on the upper side ( 3 ) of the tabletop ( 2 ), which is arranged between the upper side ( 3 ) and the underside ( 4 ) of the tabletop ( 2 ) in the direction of the height (H), wherein cableless control signals (S) can be emitted from the control unit to external electrical devices.
