Abstract

A table with three legs (10,20,30)and a table surface(40) which folds down. The table also stands on its three legs when the table surface is folded down, and the legs run together toward the table surface in a lower region (I). The legs diverge at a slant from each other toward the table surface in an upper region (II). Two(10,20) of the three legs are joined to the table surface by tilting linkages and the third leg(30) is composed of a lower(31) and an upper part(32). The upper part(32) comprises the upper region of the third leg, is detachably joined to the table surface, and can turn relative to the lower part.

Description

Folding table

Technical field

The present invention relates to a kind of table of the desktop that has three table legs and can be folded down, this table is still upright with its three table legs when desktop is folded down, and described table leg extends to together towards desktop in lower area.Specifically, the present invention relates to a kind of upright table.

Background technology

Such upright table is known, but three table legs can not arrive desktop, but extends to together in the bottom of center pillar.Desktop is also joined to the head of center pillar in the central by connector by the center pillar carrying.Desktop makes three table legs can not hinder desktop to be folded down for circular and have height radius corresponding with center pillar.

When desktop was folded down, table can be put together in the mode of saving the space with other similar table.

For known table its stability importantly, for all have the table of center pillar, be not always the case, so center pillar is also more thick and heavy, thereby the connector that center pillar joins desktop to is provided with bigger pressure distribution plate.

Summary of the invention

Problem of the present invention is to limit a kind of table of the above-mentioned type, and this utilizes more simply under the identical at least situation of stability, not too heavy structure member is made, thereby is suitable for forming better aesthetic impression.In addition, intuitivism apprehension should be operated and be easy to folder function easily.When desktop is folded down, should will this table put together with other similar mode with the saving space.

The table of the feature of this problem by having claim 1 is resolved.Therefore, table of the present invention is characterised in that, described table leg is diverged obliquely each other towards described desktop in upper area, article three, two in the table leg join described desktop to by the inclination connector, the 3rd table leg comprises upper-part and lower member, and described upper-part comprises the upper area of the 3rd table leg, and this upper-part joins described desktop separably to, and can rotate with respect to described lower member.

The preferred implementation of table of the present invention is characterised in that dependent claims.The particularly preferred embodiment of described table is upright table.And preferably, the described upper-part of described the 3rd table leg rotates by the sliding friction opposing under the effect of himself weight and fixes.

The specific embodiment

Upright table shown in the accompanying drawing has three

table legs

10,20 and 30 and round desktop 40.Similar three table legs of shape are all arranged with 120 ° relative angle, and at first in lower area I, upwards extend to together from ground at angle towards desktop 40 with star shape, in upper area II, be star shape then and be separated from each other, thereby they stop respectively at desktop 40 places and be spaced-apart.They are only crooked among the transitional region III from lower area I to upper area II, are straight in other parts.Below the transitional region III of bending tight, they are bonded together by the jointing among the lower area I 50.

Two

table legs

10 and 20 join desktop 40 to by the inclination connector, and the

usefulness

13 and 23 of the parts of this inclination connector on table leg represents that

usefulness

41 and 42 is on the table represented.The axis of inclination connector is aligned with each other.

The 3rd table leg 30 comprises lower member 31 and upper-part 32 in lower area I, thereby upper-part 32 comprises the sub-fraction of upper area II, transitional region and lower area I.Upper-part 32 joins desktop 40 separably to and can rotate with respect to lower member 31.

Because its turning power, upper-part 32 can be below desktop 40 turn-off, so desktop can be folded down against other two

table legs

10 and 20 by the inclination connector, as shown in Figure 3.In this position, the upper-part 32 of the 3rd table leg 30 leans on the upper area and desktop 40 flat the 3rd table legs 30 that lean on of second table leg 20.Table is still upright with whole three table legs.

For upper-part 32 is connected to desktop 40 separably, utilize smooth plate-like gripper shoe head member 33 to be set at the place, end of upper-part 32, and have roughly horseshoe-shaped 43 as its mating member in desktop 40, seat 43 is provided with the undercut of the projecting edge that is used for gripper shoe.Along with upper-part 32 is folding or launches the rotation that desktop 40 carries out, the undercut part of the holding plate i/o block 43 of head member 33, thus the manual steps that does not need to add forms or discharges and connects 32.Preferably, the gripper shoe of head member 33 also locks in present 43 easily.

Further preferably, three

table legs

10,20 and 30 they lower area I and upper area II in the angle Selection of extending with respect to vertical inclination be to make lower member 31 parallel orientations of desktop 40 (equally as shown in Figure 3) and the 3rd table leg when being folded down.For example when being 21 ° and be exactly this situation when in upper area, being 36 ° in lower area I with respect to vertical angle.For example, the length of the straight section among the lower area I can be 814.4mm, and the length of the straight section among the upper area II is 247.9mm, and the radius among the transitional region III is 50mm.

When desktop 40 is folded down, the several table of same type can be put together in the modes of saving the space, as Fig. 4 with shown in the example of two tables.

Forward Fig. 5 below to, be connected describing the lower member 31 of the 3rd table leg 30 and the pivot of upper-part 32.

Two

parts

31 and 32 are for tubulose and have circular cross-section, and this preferably also is applicable in addition two table legs 10 and 20.Whole three table legs all can be made by metal tube.In upper-part 32, insert the circular blank 35 of welding and for example it can not be rotated, and bolt 36 in the lower member 31 can not be rotated and be stretched into to anchoring downwards in blank 35 by welding.Be provided with the insert 37 that holds bolt 36, it has friction element 38 in bearing, friction element 38 under the strain effect against bolt 36.When upper-part 32 rotates, bolt 36 friction element 38 that in insert 37, rotates and rub, thus upper-part 32 is weakened by sliding friction with respect to the motion of lower member 31.Preferably, this weaken make upper-part 32 in each turned position all under himself weight effect opposing rotate and fix, but even so still make its motion easily.Like this, prevented that upper-part 32 from rotating in uncontrolled mode.Can be used for friction element 38 by material and obtain enough big friction polyurethane and so on.In addition, also as shown in Figure 5, bolt 36 can be provided with circumferential slot, and the elastomeric material of friction element 38 expand in the described groove, thereby has further increased friction.

By jointing 50 three

table legs

10,20 and 30 are screwed onto together.Can discern two screws 51 that are used for the 3rd table leg in Fig. 5, these screws are fixed on insert 37 in the lower member 31 of the 3rd table leg 30 simultaneously.Flatten holder 37 with respect to screw 51, thereby make its flat inwall by lower member 31.

Article three, the lower end of table leg is provided with sliding

part

14,24 and 34.
