Description

La présente invention concerne une table pliante.The present invention relates to a folding table.

L'invention vise, plus particulièrement mais non exclusivement, une table à repasser.The invention relates, more particularly but not exclusively, to an ironing board.

On connaît de nombreuses tables pliantes qui comprennent généralement un plateau sur la face inférieure duquel s'articulent des montants de pieds ceux-ci pouvant occuper une position de rangement dans laquelle ils sont appliqués contre la face inférieure du plateau et une posi­tion d'utilisation dans laquelle ils supportent ledit plateau.Numerous folding tables are known which generally comprise a tray on the underside of which the uprights of feet are articulated, these being able to occupy a storage position in which they are applied against the underside of the tray and a position of use in which they support said tray.

On connaît différents systèmes qui présentent généralement l'inconvénient d'être peu pratiques et d'être relativement encombrants au niveau des pieds de sorte que notamment pour des tables à repasser ils ne permettent pas de placer la table dans une position assez basse pour repas­ser assis. De plus ces différents systèmes sont peu stables.Various systems are known which generally have the drawback of being impractical and of being relatively bulky at the level of the feet so that, in particular for ironing tables, they do not allow the table to be placed in a position low enough for ironing while seated. . In addition, these different systems are not very stable.

L'un des buts de la présente invention est de remédier à ces divers inconvénients.One of the aims of the present invention is to remedy these various drawbacks.

La table, selon l'invention est du type compre­nant un plateau et des montants portant des pieds et montés basculants de manière que dans une position de rangement les montants soient appliqués contre la face inférieure du plateau, tandis que dans une position d'utilisation ils supportent ledit plateau et est caractérisée en ce qu'elle comporte un premier montant monté, par son extrémité corres­pondante, articulé sur un axe prévu sur la face inférieure du plateau, cette dernière comportant un rail s'étendant perpendiculairement audit axe et dans lequel est guidé un organe de glissement prévu à l'extrémité correspondante d'un second montant, une biellette étant reliée articulée, par une extrémité sur un axe prévu en un point intermédiaire de la longueur du premier montant et par son autre extré­mité sur un axe prévu en un point intermédiaire de la lon­gueur du second montant, l'axe du second montant étant re­lié par une biellette à un second axe prévu sur la face inférieure du plateau et s'étendant parallèlement à l'axe d'articulation du premier montant, la longueur du premier montant compris entre l'axe sur lequel s'articule une des extrémités de la biellette et son axe d'articulation sur la surface inférieure du plateau étant égale à la longueur de la biellette reliant l'axe prévu sur le second montant au second axe prévu sur la face inférieure du plateau, tan­dis que la longueur de la biellette insérée entre le pre­mier et le second montant est égale à la distance séparant l'axe d'articulation du premier montant sur la face infé­rieure du plateau au second axe, des moyens étant prévus pour bloquer sur la longueur du rail l'organe de glissement. Grâce à une telle structure on réalise une table très sta­ble qui peut être calée à différentes hauteurs et dont la partie située entre le piètement est parfaitement dégagée.The table according to the invention is of the type comprising a tray and uprights carrying legs and tiltable mounted so that in a storage position the uprights are applied against the underside of the tray, while in a position of use they support said plate and is characterized in that it comprises a first upright mounted, by its corresponding end, articulated on an axis provided on the underside of the plate, the latter comprising a rail extending perpendicular to said axis and in which is guided a sliding member provided at the corresponding end of a second upright, a connecting rod being articulated, by one end on an axis provided at an intermediate point of the length of the first upright and by its other end on an axis provided in a intermediate point of the length of the second upright, the axis of the second upright being connected by a link to a second axis provided on the underside of the plate and extending parallel to the axis of articulation of the first upright, the length of the first upright between the axis on which one of the ends of the link is articulated and its axis of articulation on the lower surface of the plate being equal to the length of the link connecting the axis provided on the second post to the second axis provided on the underside of the plate, while the length of the rod inserted between the first and the second post is equal to the distance separating the hinge axis of the first post on the underside of the plate to the second axis, means being provided for blocking the sliding member along the length of the rail. Thanks to such a structure, a very stable table is produced which can be propped up at different heights and the part between the legs of which is perfectly clear.

Suivant un détail constructif, le rail comprend deux profilés en U se faisant vis à vis et l'organe de glis­sement comprend un axe supportant à chacune de ses extré­mités un galet guidé dans lesdits profilés.According to a constructive detail, the rail comprises two U-shaped profiles facing each other and the sliding member comprises an axis supporting at each of its ends a roller guided in said profiles.

Suivant une autre caractéristique de détail, l'axe de l'organe de glissement comporte un manchon soli­daire d'une tige radiale guidée dans une ouverture d'une plaquette prévue sous le plateau, ladite tige traversant un trou d'une barrette montée basculante sous le plateau et sollicitée par des moyens élastiques, de manière que, dans le sens du déploiement des montants vers la position d'utilisation de la table la tige puisse coulisser libre­ment, tandis que dans le sens opposé elle soit bloquée par coincement par la plaquette. Ainsi, la manipulation de la table est très simple et très pratique.According to another characteristic of detail, the axis of the sliding member comprises a sleeve integral with a radial rod guided in an opening of a plate provided under the plate, said rod passing through a hole of a bar mounted tiltably under the plate and urged by elastic means, so that, in the direction of deployment of the uprights towards the position of use of the table, the rod can slide freely, while in the opposite direction it is blocked by jamming by the plate. Thus, handling the table is very simple and very practical.

Suivant encore un autre détail constructif, la table comporte des moyens pour commander le basculement de la barrette pour permettre le libre coulissement de la tige.According to yet another constructive detail, the table includes means for controlling the tilting of the bar to allow the rod to slide freely.

Enfin, les moyens pour commander le basculement de la barrette pour permettre le libre coulissement de la tige comprennent une tringle montée pivotante sur la face inférieure du plateau et terminée à ses extrémités par des poignées situées au voisinage des bords longitudinaux du plateau, ladite tringle comportant une partie pliée en V et située au voisinage de la barrette.Finally, the means for controlling the tilting of the bar to allow the rod to slide freely comprise a rod pivotally mounted on the face bottom of the tray and terminated at its ends by handles located in the vicinity of the longitudinal edges of the tray, said rod having a V-folded portion and located in the vicinity of the bar.

Le mode de réalisation représenté vise, plus particulièrement une table à repasser, mais, bien entendu l'invention vise, en général, les tables pliantes.The embodiment shown is aimed more particularly at an ironing table, but of course the invention is aimed, in general, at folding tables.

La table représentée comprend un plateau 1, par exemple, en métal déployé ceinturé par un profilé en U.The table shown comprises a tray 1, for example, made of expanded metal surrounded by a U-shaped profile.

Sous le plateau est soudé un profilé 2 à sec­tion en U avec deux prolongements latéraux 3 et 4 des extré­mités libres des ailes et un prolongement 5 au niveau de l'âme afin de former un rail de guidage 6.Under the plate is welded a section 2 with a U-section with two lateral extensions 3 and 4 of the free ends of the wings and an extension 5 at the core in order to form a guide rail 6.

Parallèlement au profilé 2 est soudée sous le plateau 1 une aile 7 d'un second profilé en U 8 qui cons­titue un second rail, les extrémités libres des ailes du rail 6 et du rail 8 étant tournées en regard les unes des autres.Parallel to the profile 2 is welded under the plate 1 a wing 7 of a second U-shaped profile 8 which constitutes a second rail, the free ends of the wings of the rail 6 and of the rail 8 being turned opposite one another.

Les rails 6 et 8 supportent un premier axe 10 sur lequel s'articule deux branches 11 solidaires d'un mon­tant de pieds 13 dont l'extrémité libre est solidaire d'une barre transversale 14 pourvue à ses extrémités de patins constituant les pieds.The rails 6 and 8 support a first axis 10 on which is articulated two branches 11 secured to an amount of feet 13 whose free end is secured to a crossbar 14 provided at its ends with pads constituting the feet.

La table comporte un second montant de pieds 18 dont l'extrémité inférieure est solidaire d'une barre transversale 19 pourvue de patins 20 formant les pieds, tandis que l'extrémité supérieure est prolongée par deux branches 22 solidaires d'un axe 23 portant à ses extrémi­tés libres des galets 24 coopérant l'une avec le rail 6 et l'autre avec le rail 8, l'ensemble axe 23 et galets 24 formant un organe de glissement.The table comprises a second leg upright 18, the lower end of which is integral with a transverse bar 19 provided with pads 20 forming the legs, while the upper end is extended by two branches 22 integral with an axis 23 carrying at its free ends rollers 24 cooperating one with the rail 6 and the other with the rail 8, the assembly axis 23 and rollers 24 forming a sliding member.

Sur l'axe 23 est monté un manchon 25 qui est solidaire radialement d'une tige 27 guidée dans un trou 28 d'une plaquette 29 solidaire du dessous de plateau 1 et disposée entre les rails 6 et 8 transversalement à ceux-­ci.On the axis 23 is mounted a sleeve 25 which is radially integral with a rod 27 guided in a hole 28 of a plate 29 integral with the underside of the plate 1 and disposed between the rails 6 and 8 transversely to them.

Sur la tige 27 est engagé un ressort hélicoïdal de compression 31 dont une extrémité porte contre la pla­quette 29, tandis que l'autre extrémité coopère avec un organe 33 de coincement de la tige 27 constitué par une barrette 30 percée d'un trou 34 traversé par ladite tige 27 et montée basculante sur un axe 35 prévu sous le pla­teau 1.On the rod 27 is engaged a helical compression spring 31, one end of which bears against the plate 29, while the other end cooperates with a member 33 for wedging the rod 27 constituted by a bar 30 pierced with a hole 34 traversed by said rod 27 and pivotally mounted on an axis 35 provided under the plate 1.

Sous le plateau 1, il est prévu un organe de commande pour dégager l'organe de coincement 33 de la tige 27. Cet organe de commande est constitué par une tringle 38 guidée dans des paliers des rails 6 et 8 et terminée à ses extrémités par des poignées 37 s'étendant au voisina­ge des côtés longitudinaux du plateau 1 de la table. Cette tringle 38 comporte une partie pliée en V 36 s'étendant au droit de la tige 27 et, au voisinage de la barrette 30 du côté de la face de celle-ci opposée à celle contre la­quelle porte le ressort 31.Under the plate 1, a control member is provided for disengaging the wedging member 33 from the rod 27. This control member is constituted by a rod 38 guided in bearings of the rails 6 and 8 and terminated at its ends by handles 37 extending in the vicinity of the longitudinal sides of the table top 1. This rod 38 comprises a V-folded part 36 extending in line with the rod 27 and, in the vicinity of the bar 30 on the side of the face of the latter opposite to that against which the spring 31 bears.

Sur la tringle 38 est engagé un ressort 40 tra­vaillant à la torsion et dont une extrémité est solidaire de ladite tringle, tandis que l'autre extrémité est reliée à un point fixe, par exemple, un palier de guidage 41 de la tringle 38 prévu sur le profilé 2.On the rod 38 is engaged a spring 40 working at torsion and one end of which is integral with said rod, while the other end is connected to a fixed point, for example, a guide bearing 41 of the rod 38 provided on profile 2.

Le ressort 40 est destiné à maintenir la partie en V 36 de la tringle dans une position écartée de la bar­rette 30.The spring 40 is intended to hold the V-shaped part 36 of the rod in a position away from the bar 30.

Le montant du pied 18 en un point intermédiaire de sa longueur comporte un axe 44 sur lequel s'articulent deux biellettes 45 dont les extrémités libres sont articu­lées sur un axe 46 prévu en un point intermédiaire du mon­tant 13 sur les branches 11. Le rail 8 et le profilé 2 sup­portent un axe 48 sur lequel sont articulées deux biellet­tes 49 reliées articulées à l'axe 44.The upright of the foot 18 at an intermediate point of its length has an axis 44 on which two connecting rods 45 are articulated, the free ends of which are articulated on an axis 46 provided at an intermediate point of the upright 13 on the branches 11. The rail 8 and the profile 2 support an axis 48 on which are articulated two connecting rods 49 connected articulated to the axis 44.

L'intervalle entre les axes 10 et 48 et l'inter­valle entre les axes 44 et 46 sont égaux.The interval between axes 10 and 48 and the interval between axes 44 and 46 are equal.

La partie du montant 13 située entre l'axe 46 et l'axe 10 a une longueur égale à la longueur de la biel­lette 49. Ainsi, la biellette 45, la biellette 49, la par­tie des rails située entre les axes 10 et 48 et la partie du montant 13 située entre les axes 10 et 46 forment un parallélogramme articulé.The part of the upright 13 located between the axis 46 and the axis 10 has a length equal to the length of the link 49. Thus, the link 45, the link 49, the part of the rails located between the axes 10 and 48 and the part of the upright 13 located between the axes 10 and 46 form an articulated parallelogram.

Le fonctionnement de la table est imagé aux figures 5 à 7.The operation of the table is shown in Figures 5 to 7.

La table étant en position fermée, les montants 13 et 18 sont plaqués contre la face inférieure du plateau 1, les biellettes étant également appliquées contre ladite face inférieure, de sorte que lorsque la table est en posi­tion pliée elle occupe un faible encombrement et peut ainsi être facilement rangée (fig. 5).The table being in the closed position, the uprights 13 and 18 are pressed against the underside of the plate 1, the links also being applied against said underside, so that when the table is in the folded position it occupies a small footprint and can thus be easily stored (fig. 5).

Pour mettre la table en position de service, il suffit de faire pivoter soit le montant 13, soit le mon­tant 18 dans le sens de la flèche f (voir fig.6). Si on fait pivoter le montant 13, les biellettes 45 et 49 com­mandent le coulissement de l'axe 23 dans les rails 6 et 8 dans le sens de la flèche g de sorte que le montant 18 se déploie, simultanément avec le montant 13. On conçoit que, si on agit sur le montant 18 dans le sens de la flè­che f, on commandera le basculement du montant 13.To put the table in the service position, simply rotate either the upright 13 or the upright 18 in the direction of the arrow f (see fig. 6). If the upright 13 is pivoted, the links 45 and 49 control the sliding of the axis 23 in the rails 6 and 8 in the direction of the arrow g so that the upright 18 is deployed, simultaneously with the upright 13. understands that, if one acts on the upright 18 in the direction of the arrow f, the tilting of the upright 13 will be controlled.

On remarquera que le dispositif de coincement 33 de la tige 27 permet le libre déplacement de l'axe 23 dans le sens de la flèche g, mais que, par contre, dans le sens opposé à ladite flèche, la barrette 20 poussée par le ressort 31 bloque la tige 27, de sorte que les montants 13 et 18 peuvent être calés dans toutes les positions an­gulaires entre la position extrême repliée (fig.5) et une position extrême haute (fig.7).It will be noted that the clamping device 33 of the rod 27 allows the free movement of the axis 23 in the direction of the arrow g, but that, on the other hand, in the direction opposite to the said arrow, the bar 20 pushed by the spring 31 blocks the rod 27, so that the uprights 13 and 18 can be wedged in all the angular positions between the extreme folded position (fig.5) and an extreme high position (fig.7).

Pour replier la table, il suffit d'appuyer sur l'une des poignées 37 afin de faire pivoter la tringle 38 de manière que sa partie en V 36 en butant contre la bar­rette 30 fasse basculer celle-ci contre l'action du ressort 31 de manière que la tige 27 puisse coulisser librement.To fold the table, it suffices to press one of the handles 37 in order to pivot the rod 38 so that its V-shaped part 36, abutting against the bar 30 causes the latter to tilt against the action of the spring 31 so that the rod 27 can slide freely.

On conçoit que la table, selon l'invention est d'une conception simple, qu'elle est d'une utilisation très pratique, et qu'elle est très stable. De plus, les pieds offrent un grand dégagement, de sorte que notamment pour une table à repasser, elle permet à l'utilisatrice de travailler assise.It is understood that the table according to the invention is of a simple design, that it is very practical to use, and that it is very stable. In addition, the feet offer a large clearance, so that in particular for an ironing board, it allows the user to work seated.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée au mode de réalisation qui vient d'être décrit et repré­senté. On pourra y apporter de nombreuses modifications de détail sans sortir pour cela du cadre de l'invention.Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiment which has just been described and shown. Many detailed modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention.
