DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED
The present invention points to a kind of desk.However, the principle of this invention not merely is limited on the desk.Can know that according to what announce at this, the present invention is the same to use in device and the equipment at relevant furniture.
In addition, for clearer description desk, use in the accompanying drawings overlook, look up, mainly to look, backsight, a left side are looked, the right side is looked such vocabulary and described.However, be appreciated that this invention can place as required---comprise that multi-angle places, tiltedly put, even placed face down.It below is this detailed description of the invention.
As shown in Figure 1, desk 2 comprises a desktop 4 and one or more table leg, such as table leg 6,8, and 10 and 12.Use one or more horizontal stripes to fix a pair of or more table leg.For example, horizontal stripe 14 interconnected leg 6 and 8, horizontal stripe 16 interconnected leg 10 and 12.So when a table leg moved, corresponding interconnected leg also can move. Table leg 6,8,10 and 12 can be coupled to each other by other suitable connector or method.Certainly, table leg 6,8,10 and 12 can not connect, and horizontal stripe is also nonessential.Furtherly, if desired, table leg 6,8,10 and 12 can move separately.The people who is familiar with this technology will appreciate that desk 2 can have table leg or other desktop support member of any suitable quantity and kind.
Table leg 6,8,10 and 12 preferably can move between expanded position and folding position with respect to desktop 14.Its advantage is, when table leg 6,8,10 and 12 are positioned at expanded position, and desk 2 just can be used for supporting various article and/or being used in multiple use.On the other hand, when table leg 6,8,10 and 12 are positioned at the folding position, and desk 2 just can conveniently transport and preserve.When table leg 6,8,10 and 12 are positioned at the folding position, table leg be preferably placed near or press close to the position of desktop 4.However, table leg 6,8,10 with 12 with being connected of desktop 4 can be dismountable.
Table leg 6,8,10 and 12 are preferably rotating with respect to moving between the expanded position of desktop 4 and the folding position.For example, table leg 6,8,10 and 12 can be rotatably connected with desktop 4.Conspicuous, if table leg 6,8,10 and 12 and desktop 4 be rotatably connected, table leg just can be fast and easily moves between expanded position and folding position so.Desk 2 can comprise that also some are connected table leg 6,8, on 10 and 12 or as the cross bar of the whole part of table leg.This cross bar makes table leg 6,8, and 10 are connected with desk 2 with 12.For example, cross bar can be so that table leg 6,8,10 be connected with desktop is rotatable with 12.Cross bar also can rotatably be connected on the framework.If desired, table leg 6,8,10 and 12 can comprise some pin, table foot part and/or bottom.
Advantageously, desk 2 can be made into special size and shape according to different purposes.For example, the length of desk 2 can be 6 or 8 feet, and wide is 2 to 3 feet.Such size can make desk become general table.In addition, desk 2 also can be that length is 6 or 8 feet, and the wide shape that is less than 2 feet is exactly conference table like this.However, desk 2 can have any suitable size and shape.Therefore, if desired, desk 2 can be shorter or longer.In addition, the desktop 4 of desk 2 can be rectangle, square, circle or other any suitable shape.
Desk 2 also can be made into the size and the shape of personal table, perhaps also can be made into the size and the shape of many humans table.For example, if desk 2 need be made into to be fit to size and the shape that a people uses, it just has the less desktop 4 that compares so.On the other hand, if desk 2 need be made into to be fit to size and the shape that many people use, desktop will be bigger.In addition, desk 2 can need be made suitable size and shape because of different purposes, such as personal table, and computer desk, table for game, bedside cupboard, television table, general table or the like.Desk 2 also can be used as desk and makes suitable size and shape.Therefore, though desk 2 can be made into specific size and shape in order to be applicable to certain purposes or function, but desk can have diversified shape and layout, such as, predetermined operational version decision by desk, perhaps desk also can have a general shape and design, and it can used under situation and the environment on a large scale.
As shown in Figure 1, desktop 4 has rectangular shape substantially.For example, the length of desktop 4 is about 72 inches, roomyly is about 30 inches.But the people who is familiar with this technology will appreciate that desktop can have any suitable size and shape, such as, by the operational version decision of desk.
The part that intersects between the upper surface of desktop 4 and the limit can be to tilt or circular face.The face that tilts can be designed to suitable size and shape increases the comfortableness that the user uses desk 2, and certainly, this inclined-plane not necessarily.In addition, table angle and the edge of desktop 4 is unnecessary to be round, and on the contrary, table angle and edge can be by the shapes of any needs, still round-shapedly can increase the comfortableness that the user uses desk.
Desktop 4 is preferably made by light material, and more preferably is made of plastics, such as high density polyethylene (HDPE).The desktop 4 of plastics is preferred to be formed through the blowing processes, because like this can be fast and simply form strong reality, lightweight, firm and firm desktop.Its advantage is, the weight ratio of blow-molded plastic table top 4 is by wooden or metal desktop is light, and blow-molded plastic table top 4 uses still less plastics than common plastic table panel, so just reduced production cost, also reduced consumer's expenditure.Especially, blow-molded plastic table top 4 can have relatively thinner wall, just can cool off faster so in process of production, has reduced the production time.
And blow-molded plastic table top 4 can be with various suitable profile, structure, and size, design and color are made into, such as, by the operational version decision of desk 2.For example, desktop 4 can be made into 36 inches rectangles that multiply by 40 inches, also can be made into diameter and be the square that 30 inches the circle or the length of side are 36 inches.Certainly, blow-molded table top 4 can have any suitable size and shape, such as, decide by the operational version of desk 2.
Desktop 4 preferably by blow molded plastic make be because blow-molded plastic table top durable in use, be not subjected to weather effect, be difficult for temperature influence, anticorrosion, antirust, even and long-term use also can not decompose degenerate.However, the people who is familiar with this technology will appreciate that desktop 4 might not be made by blow molded plastic, and material that other is suitable and/or manufacture process can be used for making desktop, such as, decide by the operational version of desk 2.Therefore, desktop 4 can be made such as the plastics of wood, metal and other kind by the material with proper characteristics.In addition, desktop 4 not necessarily will be made by blow molded plastic, and can make by annotating compression molding material, compression moulding plastics or the like.
Can comprise some and the integrally formed characteristics of desktop on the desktop 4.For example, the periphery of desktop 4 can have the flange of downward extension.The lower surface of desktop 4 also can be provided with groove.The size of this groove and shape can be held the part of table leg at least when table leg 6,8,10 and 12 is in folded state.Advantageously, if the table leg of folding up can not exceed the plane of desktop lower surface, so just can pile up desk easily.Should be understood that desktop can have any suitable feature, but desktop not necessarily needs to have feature unique or some.。
Shown in Fig. 2,3 and 4, the lower surface of desktop 4 has a large amount of depressions.The bottom that depression preferably can be distributed in most of zone of desktop 4 lower surfaces and depression can extend up to the upper surface of desktop and contact.Especially, the bottom of depression can extend to the upper surface of desktop 105 and contact, and perhaps also a segment distance can be arranged with the upper surface of desktop 105.As shown in Figure 3, depression can be formed by pattern that configures or arrangement mode, and depression can be staggered how much arrangements, random alignment or other reasonable arrangement.
By appropriate design, depression can increase the intensity and the structural intergrity of desk 2.People generally believe that high strength structure is to utilize the thickness and/or the interpolation supplementary structure that increase material to realize such as timber, but the use meeting of depression brings wonderful, beyond thought effect to people.Use a large amount of depressions can strengthen structure and can use relatively thin outer wall.Surprisingly, although destroyed the continuity of desktop 4 lower surfaces, these depressions have but increased the structural intergrity of desktop, and because formed a large amount of depressions, have just reduced the use of plastic material.Because used relatively thinner plastic plate, produce desk and just reduced, and desk 2 itself has also lightened with the cost that transports desk.
In addition, when blow-molded plastic forms, need to wait for one period cool time before from plastic, finished product being taken out.The blowing finished product that the blowing finished product that structure is thicker is thinner than structure needs longer cool time.And use depression, just can use relatively thinner plastic construction to make desktop and minimizing cool time.It is evident that the minimizing of cool time has improved production efficiency, and because of having used fewer plastic raw materials, cost has reduced also.
