DE202006010419U1 - Stable and sturdy street table for e.g. outdoor cafes has sand cushion integrating steel feet that are outwardly exposed - Google Patents

Abstract

A sand cushion (2) is partially filled with sand or a special gel until a specific size and strength corresponding to the dimensions of the table feet are achieved. The sand cushion is made from leather, imitation leather or flexible plastic. The sand cushion is generally star-shaped with steel feet (1) integrated to the sand cushion and exposed to the outside.

Description

conventional Street tables, which are for cafes, etc., are placed outside, consist of a table top, one or more table legs and often the horizontally extending Table legs. Possibly. are under the table feet each gums, which should be used for easy correction of bumps.

The The problem is that it often happens that such a table, e.g. on a crooked, bumpy surface, crooked and wobbling, and it means an inconvenient, uncomfortable sitting there.

Of the in protection claim 1-3 The invention is based on the problem of producing a table, which is so constructed that he is also on a crooked and humped Pad is stable, and if necessary, is approximately straight.

The solution this problem is achieved by using special table legs, under which then a special sand or gel cushion is attached, whereupon the whole table is stable. The leading to the solution Features are described in the protection claim 1-3.

you the solution may be Something like this: Let someone put up such a table into a sandpit and presses his table legs by light rotary movements in the Sand in, so would he stable and approximate stand straight. Now it is natural not possible Sand in a pedestrian area to sprinkle, so you should sand or a special, viscous gel in a kind of "pillow" pack, then what the entire table can be placed. The principle then remains the same thing. Prerequisite is a yielding of the cushion material and only partial filling of the pillow. In addition, the pillow should be continuous, so inside hollow, without a partition from one table to the other, the "Sand or Gelfluß "allow. Should, for example, be on the ground a relatively steep slope, so does the person who wants to set up his tables outside, one at each Table tops in the hands and pour almost a required amount of sand in the direction of the slope. There the pillows are only partially filled and the inside of the pillow is continuous, it will follow a short time the desired, adaptable Position.

A Special feature is such a pillow with a gel filling. Again, the same principle applies, only by the special flow property of the Gels a hand-made Adaptation of the table is not necessary because the gel becomes automatic after some time, just by the Gravity, flow down and ends automatically at reach the horizontal or at the maximum of the pillow, so if the pillow is filled to the maximum on the lower side. That's why the dimensions and filling quantity and flexibility These pillows are important and should reach an optimum.

In order to such a cushion does not slip from the steel table legs, or it just looks visually bad and of course the desired stability should be achieved the table feet arched upwards be hollow inside and shaped approximately trapezoidal. Then can the pillow fits in any case well.

A another feature that has such a sand or gel cushion should, is a "mounting cuff" which left and Sewn to the right of the edge of the pillow or is glued and has the pre-punched holes to help with this of metal rails, also with holes at the same distance, and screws, to the table legs (holes with internal thread in the steel base) can be screwed.

This Procedure of the type of employment to the table feet is therefore advantageous because you can replace the pillows at any time can, should the material be worn out someday. The material, what the pillows could consist of, varies from: leather over imitation leather, or a flexible plastic. Of course it would ultimately stay the extent to which he / she releases materials or type of fastening or select the design.
