The invention relates to a folding table with a folding seat, consisting of a table top, two Pairs of legs, which are hinged at their upper ends to the table top, pivotable and limited to the Table top are foldable and at least one seat that is hinged to one of the pairs of legs and in horizontal position is maintained by a hinged support.

In a known table, two legs are arranged parallel to one another at a fairly small distance and rigidly connected to each other at both ends by spacers. Both for that upper end of this pair of rigidly interconnected legs as well as the upper end of the the other two legs, which can be swiveled separately, have their own joint on the underside of the table top required, which makes this known construction expensive. In addition, the angular position of the table top not arbitrary because of the offset joints for the upper leg ends is pivotable, but must always assume a horizontal position.

Another table design also has two U-shaped brackets that are open at the top Pairs of legs, it is a non-collapsible table construction, with the starting point from a lower transversely directed footrest two legs left and right of the table top go up and run out on the sides in a pivot bearing for the table top, while the legs of the other pair starting from the support rail first horizontally backwards and then also are angled parallel to each other up to the seat. So it can be the table top can also be used on the back by swiveling it by 180 degrees, but the whole thing cannot be used in fold up as desired to form a flat and space-saving unit.

One has this possibility of folding up with another one that is still to be mentioned known table arrangement in which an annular carrier is attached below the table top, the joints at diametrically opposite points for the upper ends of two U-shaped Strap wears. In this case, however, there is no longer the possibility of the table top completely around the joint axis to swivel or to use the table top on its back, and the rest the attachment of an additional, also foldable seat is missing.

According to the invention, pairs of legs are used, which consist of U-shaped, upwardly open Bü-folding table with folding seat

rules exist and their ends to a lying in the table top center line, parallel to the Web of the pairs of legs directed axis and guided on both sides of the table top by means of a common Joint against each other and with respect to the table top are pivotable and durable. Included is in addition to a locking means for the angular position of the table top a stop on a pair of legs for the Limitation of the leg spread provided. In addition, the supports for the seat are with their lower Ends hinged to the pair of legs and folded down with a horizontal bend underneath guided the seat in a slot and held in the position of use by an end catch in the slot.

This arrangement of the supports for the seat also gives the possibility, if necessary, of the supports to attach an extension above the seat that can support a backrest. This possibility does not exist in the known construction of a folding table described above, in which the Seat is articulated in the area of its front edge on the pair of legs in question and in the area of its rear Edge carries a support hinged there, which is inclined downwards against the pair of legs in question attached and unilaterally acting stops can spread.

An embodiment according to the invention is explained in more detail in the description and in the drawings. It shows

Claims (1)

3 4 F i g. 1 shows a side view of a folding table which shows the pivotability in this way of the invention in the position of use, the seat limited. The arrangement of the slot and Fig. 2 is an end view corresponding to a look the length of the same is such that the seat from left to right in FIG. 1 and from a folded into the plane of the pair of legs 1 Fig. 3 table and seat in the folded 5 position according to Fig. 3 in the position of use. Position. can pivot, as can be seen from FIG. As can be seen from the figures, consists of the unit consisting of table and seat to-folding table and folding seat existing structural unit from collapsed, the seat is first raised on a table top 3, each from an upwardly open its rear part, so that the brackets existing front and rear leg xo offsets 22 of the support 9 in the horizontal pair 1 and 2 as well as a seat 8, which parts can enter the section of the corresponding slots 20 in the manner described below. The seat can then be connected to one another in a downward position. The table and seat can be swiveled, in which it is intended to be used by a child and extends out of this pair of legs 1. At the same time, the base is the pair of steel legs 1 15 support 9 forward or upward also in the plane longer than the pair of legs 2, which is also pivoted from steel pipe of the pair of legs 1, after which the wing is made. At its upper end, the two nuts 14 are loosened, the two pairs of legs are folded together - pairs of legs with the aid of joints 13 on the sides, and finally the tabletop edges of the tabletop are connected to it. To be rotated in such a way that all parts according to FIG.
arranged threaded bolt 13 as well as a toothed, If on each side of the table a seat is to be seen in front of the bolt concentrically fastened disc 16, one forms the pairs of legs 1 which are with a similar toothed disc 6 and 2 of the same length and here also provides that works together, which is attached to a respective upper end of the pair of legs 2 with a support section for the seat, pair of legs 1. The other 35 runs similar to that in FIG. 2 for pair of legs 1, pair of legs 2 are shown at their upper ends in one eye 2 'each. from, through which the bolt 13, as well as through the seat 8 can also be made wider than shown the central opening of the toothed disc 6 extends, so that he practically the entire space that by means of a screwed-on wing nut between the two legs of the pair of legs 1 14 let parts 2, 6 and 16 press together, 30 takes up and thus space for about two people which means that both the pivot position offers. Instead, two separate seats can be used both pairs of legs to each other and the angle pieces can be rotated on each pair of legs or only on one development of the table top is fixed. Be attached to the upper side of the table. Ends of the pair of legs 1 or on the toothed disks 6 The table top preferably consists of one stops 17 are provided against which the other 35 pressed metal part, which is on both sides ver-pair of legs can be turned in the position of use of the table. It depends on the surface system comes, but in this way the leg treatment does not work. Should about the unit as a kin spread is limited. the room table can be used, so the one The web of the pair of legs 1 supporting the seat is to be made black to the side of the table top U-shaped bent upwards, allowing the two 40 to serve as a table. inner U-leg 18 and the horizontal connection. It is up to them to be given precedence. In this case, the support 9 ends in the part of the seat 8 articulated with a sleeve 10, the height of the slots 20 in the side parts 5, and which can be of any type and in the case of the support preferably has the shape of an embodiment provided of wooden strips 7, 45 on the U-bracket open at the bottom, the web of which extends between FIG. We-side parts 5 extend. The side parts 5 are suitable with its collapsible gene is each provided with an elongated slot 20, which is at the table according to the invention also as a picnic table nem rear end an upwardly directed and depending on the size offers seating for up to four and in this way a part forming a final rest 21 50 or more people,
