Description

Technical area

 The present invention relates to a novel folding table with at least one table top, which is adjustable from a substantially vertical, folded-down rest position and a substantially horizontal, folded-up use position, wherein the folding table comprises a down to the folded table top substantially parallel aligned holder on which the plate is arranged articulated.

State of the art

Folding tables are known from the prior art recently. They are usually used in places with limited space and mounted, such as. On balconies, in caravans, multivans, boats, etc. and are partly part of its standard equipment. Usually, the table tops are provided with a bracket to be arranged on a fixed object (for example, an outer or inner wall), which is hinged to the table top.

 The disadvantage is that the brackets known folding tables are usually designed only for placement on a fixed object, for example. On a wall. However, in particular on balconies there is in many cases no possibility of attaching such a holder. The installation on the parapet railing turns out to be difficult for laymen, especially since known folding tables are not specifically designed for this purpose.

Presentation of the invention

 The present invention is based on the object to provide a folding table, which eliminates the aforementioned disadvantages and which is suitable to be attached easily and inexpensively, especially in areas of a balcony.

 According to the invention the above object is achieved according to the preamble of claim 1 in conjunction with the characterizing features. Advantageous embodiments and further developments of the folding table according to the invention are specified in the dependent subclaims.

 According to the invention, a folding table of the type mentioned above is characterized in that the holder is designed for reversible arrangement on a box-shaped plant container, wherein the holder comprises at least one hook-like holder or at least partially formed as a hook-like molding, wherein the holder or the hook-like molding for Attachment is designed on the upper edge of the outer wall of the plant container.

 In a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, the holder is designed as a molded part lying flat on the outer wall of the plant container, wherein the plant container is preferably a flower box. Flower boxes are regularly on balconies and can be equipped in most cases with the folding table according to the invention. A cumbersome attachment to a wall or other suitable object is no longer required. Due to the design of the holder, it is also possible, the folding table - depending on the design and width of the flower box - back and forth on the flower box.

Brief description of the drawings

 Other objects, features, advantages and applications of the folding table according to the invention will become apparent from the following description of an embodiment with reference to the drawings. All described and / or illustrated features, alone or in any combination form the subject matter of the invention, regardless of the summary in individual claims or their dependency.

In the drawings show

1 the folding table according to the invention, folded up, in perspective view;

2 the folded-up folding table in a perspective plan view;

3 the fold-down folding table in a perspective plan view;

4 the folding table in the side view in the unlocked state.

Embodiment of the invention

As in particular from the 1 and 4 can be seen, is below the table top 2 at least one towards the bracket 3 pivotally arranged support member 6 for supporting the folded-up table top 2 intended.

It is also on the bracket 3 a recess or a projection 7 for reversibly receiving the at least one support part 6 provided, wherein the recess or the projection 7 and the support part 6 are formed such that the support member 6 by lifting the table top 2 from the recess or the projection 7 triggers and the table top 2 is released for folding down. The support part 6 is not to be moved in the locked state by the predefined angle itself to ensure a stable support.

The components (table top 2 , Bracket 3 ) of the folding table 1 are preferably made of sheet steel. The projection (as in the 1 . 2 and 4 can also be made of metal, in other versions also made of plastic, wood or other suitable materiali, as well as the blocks of the hinges 8th and the support part 6 , The components 2 . 3 are advantageously folded by laser blanks according to drawing, the corners welded and then ground. In the production of the folding table of this type dimensions and color can be completely variable.

In a further, not shown embodiment of the invention may also be provided a locking mechanism (lock) beyond the table top 2 when folded down with the bracket 3 firmly connects. Although in the in the 1 - 4 illustrated embodiment, a locking mechanism is not necessary, but could depending on the embodiment of the table flap 1 prove quite useful. This prevents, for example, the table top in strong wind 2 to the holder 3 suggests.

The folding table according to the invention 1 is not limited in its execution to the above-mentioned preferred embodiments. Rather, a variety of design variations are possible, which make use of the solution shown even with fundamentally different type of execution.
