Definitions
- This invention relates to a bracket- for mounting of a folding table leg to the underside of a table.
- Folding leg tables have many applications where storage space is minimal and it is desirable to fold the table up to a smaller size, by folding the legs up against the underside of the table. Typical applications include caravanning and camping tables where the table must be folded up for transport. It is also convenient to be able to provide an additional table normally stored in a closet or the like, such as a card table, when extra table area is required.
- a bracket for a folding table-leg the table leg being pivotally mounted on the bracket for movement from a folded position flat against the underside of the table, to a locked position extending generally downwardly from the underside of the table, the bracket comprising means for fixing to the underside of the table, means to allow pivotal movement of the leg between the folded and locked positions, and means to lock the leg in the extended position on axial movement of the leg into the bracket.
- the pivotal mounting of the leg to the bracket allows for axial movement of the leg, and a recess is provided within the bracket to receive the pivoted end of the leg to lock it in the extended position.
- the bracket has a base portion adapted to be fixed to the underside of the table, and a pair of upstanding webs forming, a generally U-shape. Each web is provided with a slot to receive a pivot pin carried by the leg.
- the base portion of the bracket is provided with a
- the bracket includes a stop member to arrest the pivotting movement of the table leg when it assumes the extended position.
- Figure 1 is a perspective of the bracket
- Figure 2 is an end elevation of the bracket
- Figure 3 is a cross-sectional side elevation of ⁇
- Figure 4 is a side elevation of the bracket
- Figure 5 is a plan view of the bracket.
- the bracket 10 comprises a base portion 11 and two upstanding webs 12, 13 together forming a generally U-shaped bracket 10
- the base portion 11 is fixed to table 20 by screws or. the like 21.
- a circular bore 14 of a diameter equivalent to the diameter of table leg 15 is provided in base portion 11. Axial movement of table leg 15 in the direction of arrow
- Both webs 12, 13 are provided with elongated holes or slots 17, 18 arranged to receive the ends of pivot pin 19 carried by leg 15. Movement of leg 15 in axial direction
- Base portion 11 also includes an upstanding portion 22 acting as a stop to arrest pivotal movement of leg 15 when it assumes the extended position.
- the slots are embodied in raised upstanding sections the inner surfaces 23 of which have a slight curvature to accommodate and assist in the guidance of the leg into the bore 14. Also, the ends of the curves provide for a firm fit of the leg when in the folded position.

Abstract
Patte de fixation pour un pied de table repliable, le pied de table (15) étant monté en pivot sur la patte de fixation (10) afin de se déplacer à partir d'une position repliée à plat contre le dessous de la table jusqu'à une position verrouillée s'étendant généralement vers le bas à partir du dessous de la table; la patte de fixation comporte un mécanisme (11) de fixation au-dessous de la table, des mécanismes (12, 13, 17, 18) permettant un mouvement pivotant du pied entre les positions repliée et verrouillée, ainsi qu'un mécanisme (14) de verrouillage du pied en position étendue par un mouvement axial du pied dans la patte de fixation.Fixing leg for a folding table leg, the table leg (15) being pivotally mounted on the fixing leg (10) in order to move from a folded position flat against the underside of the table to in a locked position generally extending downward from the underside of the table; the fixing lug comprises a mechanism (11) for fixing below the table, mechanisms (12, 13, 17, 18) allowing a pivoting movement of the foot between the folded and locked positions, as well as a mechanism (14 ) locking the foot in the extended position by an axial movement of the foot in the fixing lug.
