Description

Changeable table furniture

Tables of the usual design, consisting of a table body and table legs and drawers attached to the underside, are well known.

Shape and/or color and/or material determine the appearance and function of the table. The appearance of the surface of the body, determined by shape and/or color and/or material and/or coating and/or processing, is one of the optical and functional features of a table. The aim of the invention is to make this feature changeable and variable.

This is achieved by removing, turning and/or exchanging inserted panels. The invention is based on two panels inserted into a recess in the table body and the associated lifting mechanism via the pull-out drawers for these panels.

The basic construction consists of a table body (1) in any shape and design, with a recess (2) for inserting panels (3), with table legs (4) in any number, shape and design and one (5) or two (6) opposite rectangular drawers that are attached to side guides (7). Optionally, a U-shaped tray (8) can be attached to the side guides to accommodate the insert panels when using the body recess. The recess in the table body (2) corresponds in shape and depth to the panels (3) to be inserted, so that a flat surface (9) is created with the panels inserted. The panels are changed or turned by opening a drawer (12), whereby the panels are lifted up (12) via two bolts (10) that sit in holes in the body recess through the wedge-shaped side rails of the drawer (8) and can be removed.

By turning, changing or removing the insert panels, the appearance and/or function of the table can be changed. For example, different game board surfaces for chess, nine men's morris or backgammon can be shown on the panels and in the recess of the table body.
