"Table for use in motor vehicles, in particular steering wheel table ¹¹

The object of the innovation is to form a table SO 'that is suitable for use in motor vehicles ] can be produced with extremely little effort and that it j can easily be attached to the vehicle for various purposes in terms of handling.

This task is carried out by a table with the characteristics according to the; characterizing part solved in the main claim. The subclaims j have further developments of the tariff to the content, whereby ; There are other possible uses for the table.

The table top according to the innovation is such that it can be produced as a single plastic molded part without additional elements and without joints. The tabletop can be attached to the steering wheel, whereby it can be used for writing. This is done very simply by slightly sets the table higher than the operating position to the steering wheel and down slightly pushes up an upper Se * tor of the steering wheel by a recess in an upper straight wall plate is recorded. Due to the fact that U-shaped bulges of the recess rest on the steering wheel, the table top is held against shifting in the plane of the plate downwards and transversely to it and against lifting transversely to the plane of the plate.

According to the further innovation, a rope can be attached to each side of the table top can be attached to it for hanging the table top on a suitable part inside the motor vehicle can use. For example, you can use the rope to hang the table top on the steering wheel. You can use the tabletop but also hang up in the area of the passenger seat by the rope is clamped to the flap of the glove compartment. The person concerned can put the tabletop on their thighs and use it for writing or for storing food.

The table top according to the innovation can also be used by the people sitting at the back. The plate can be hung with the rope on the headrest or on the headrest bracket of the front seat »The plate lets sieve through

set a corresponding adjustment of the rope length horizontally, whereby the front panel wall is supported at the back on the back padding. So that the plate is in the horizontal position is held by sufficiently * high holding forces, a non-slip covering can be attached to the front panel wall or a corrugation can be formed, whereby frictional forces are formed directly opposite the back padding. In particular you can hang a plate with a counter-covering on the rope, on which the table top with its front plate wall is attached non-slip supports. When not in use, the table top can be hung in a vertical position.

In the horizontal position, the tabletop can be used as a gaming table to be used. For this purpose, a magnetic lining can be attached to the plate surface, which is used for recording and for Fixing the position of play elements made of sheet metal is used.

In addition, sinci according to the further innovation in the lower area the tabletop slots are provided. If the table top is attached to a steering wheel, it can be attached to the bottom of the table top an additional plate can be attached in the horizontal position by inserting pins molded onto this plate into the Slots.

In the following an embodiment of the innovation is under Referring to the drawings explained in more detail.

Show it:

Fig. 1 is a plan view of a table top attached to a steering wheel according to the innovation.

Fig. 2 is a view according to arrow II of Fig. 1 Fig. $ Is a view in the direction of arrow III

of Fig. 1

Fig. 4 is a view of the table top according to 4

Fig. 2 with the steering wheel on which the table top is attached.

Fig. 5 shows one on a back cushion of the motor vehicle attached table top according to the innovation.

The tabletop can be produced as a molded part made of plastic. It is rectangular in plan view. A strip 12 is formed on the lower edge, which is provided on the top of the plate. "Hsi = €. Above and on both sides, protruding beads 11 are also formed. The underside of the plate is also suitable for resting on a steering wheel. This is for An elongated recess 13a is provided to accommodate an upper sector of the steering wheel in an upper wall 13 of the table top. The recess is delimited on each side by a U-shaped bulge 13b, which is adapted to the steering wheel cross-section and in each case rests on the surface of the steering wheel

the recess in the area of the curvature is the table top the steering wheel against shifting in the plate plane downwards and to the side and held perpendicular to the plane of the plate against lifting.

At the top of the table top there is one on each side waid 14 formed, each by a concave bulge 14a is limited * The wall is used for stiffening, as well as for attaching a rope, tape or belt with which the table top is hung »

In the illustrated embodiment, keyhole shapes are Mige recesses 14b provided, suitable for inserting a rope 15 for hanging up the table top »through a knot This is held in the rope to prevent it from being pulled out. If you have several knots, you can choose an adjustable rope length will"

Pins can also be formed on each wall 14 for attachment a band or a belt. Several holes are formed in this for plugging on.

Several horizontal slots 19 are provided at the bottom of the table top * If the table top is attached to the steering wheel, there is also the option of attaching a plate 20 horizontally at the bottom of the table top by inserting pins molded onto the plate 20 into the slots 19. So that the angular position of the plates can be adjusted, slots 19 can be formed at different heights.

With the help of the rope 15, the table top can be attached to a headrest or on a holder 3 for a headrest in this way be hung up on the kick side of a back cushion 2 depends. When not in use, the table top hangs vertically downwards, oil table top can, "/" Ie shown on Figure 4, is ice sorisoatale Stellwsg brought verdeB., whereby they sus Games or can be used as a shelf »The tabletop is held horizontally by frictional forces which between a non-slip covering 16 on the front wall and the back padding 2 directly or a counter-facing hanging on the rope
