Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a table stand intended for use preferably in caravans and motorhomes, wherein the stand supports at the top thereof a frame-like part on which a tabletop is intended to be placed and which can be adjusted vertically so as to position the table-top in different height positions as specified in the preamble of claim 1 and as disclosed, for example, in US-A-4 558 648.
- The tables provided in caravans/motorhomes normally have the form of a tabletop which is fitted to the top of a stand. This type of table is normally intended for two different purposes. Firstly, the table is intended for use as a conventional dining table, from which food and coffee can be partaken in the caravan/motorhome. Secondly, the table shall be capable of being raised and lowered, so as to enable the tabletop to be lowered to a position in which it will function as part of a bed in the caravan/motorhome. Lowering and raising of the table has hitherto been a complicated process, and consequently time-consuming.
- The object of the present invention is to eliminate this problem and to provide a tabletop stand which can be readily handled and manoeuvred when lowering and raising the same. This object has been achieved with a stand of the aforesaid kind which is characterized by the features specified in the characterizing portion of claim 1.
- A preferred embodiment of the invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 shows the inventive stand in a raised position and provided with a lockable gas-spring and a spring operating or activating means; Figure 2 illustrates the stand of Figure 1 in a lowered position; Figure 3 and Figure 4 show the attachment of the gas-spring to the upper part of the stand, wherein Figure 4 shows the attachment from beneath; and Figure 5 illustrates the construction of the operating means.
- Figures 1 and 2 illustrate the inventive stand. The stand includes a frame-like part 1 which is carried by two
leg members 2, 3. Eachleg member 2, 3 includes two substantially parallel rods orbars 4, 5; 6, 7, wherein the two bars of each pair of bars are spaced from one another and are connected together at both ends thereof by means of a respectivetransverse rod transverse rods 8; 10 function to support the stand against the underlying support surface and wherein the upper,transverse rods 9; 11 are intended to coact with the frame-like part 1. The twoleg members 2, 3, i.e. the pairs ofbars 4, 5; 6, 7 are mutually connected by means of a hinge means or pivot in the form of atransverse rod 12, which extends through the bars approximately midway therealong the rods, preferably at a location which is slightly above centre. This enables the two ends of respective pairs ofbars 4, 5; 6, 7 to be moved towards and away from each other in a scissor-like fashion and therewith move the frame-like part 1 vertically. - The frame-like part 1 and bars of the illustrated embodiment are made of varnished or lacquered steel plate and the frame-like part includes four bars 13-16 disposed in the form of a rectangle. The stand may, of course, be made of some other material and the frame-like part 1 may have the form of a square. At least two of the frame bars, the longitudinally extending
bars upper transferse rods 9, 11 of the twoleg members 2, 3 are intended for coaction with theframe bars rod 9 is pivotally mounted in thebars - An essential feature of the invention is that a blockable gas-
spring 17, or piston-cylinder device, is provided for enabling the position of the frame-like part 1 to be adjusted vertically in a smooth continuous fashion, both in an upward and in a downward direction. The gas-spring includes abottom part 18 which is pivotally connected to the leg member 3 beneath thepivot rod 12, and anupper part 19 which is pivotally connected to the transverse frame-bar 15 on the same side of a vertical plane passing through therod 12 as the lower part 18 (see also Figures 3, 4). - The gas-
spring 17 is provided with a centrally positionedpin 20 which protrudes slightly from theupper part 19 of the gas-spring in an axial direction. Thispin 20 is intended to activate a release valve provided within the gas-spring. - The
pin 20 is intended to coact with acylindrical bushing 21 which is pivotally connected to a holder means 23, by means ofscrews 22 or the like, said holder means being mounted on the inside of theframe bar 15. Thepin 20 thus extends straight through thebushing 21 in its transverse direction and protrudes slightly beyond the bushing for coaction with an operating means or activator 24 (see also Figure 5). Because thebushing 21 is pivotally connected to the holder means 23 and because thebottom part 18 of the gas-spring 17 is pivotally connected to the leg member 3, the gas-spring will take different angular positions in relation to the frame-like part 1 of the stand and the leg member 3. According to this embodiment, the leg member 3 includes two parallel bars orrods bottom part 18 of the gas-spring 17 is therewith pivotally connected to atransverse rod 25, which mutually connects the bars orrod pivot rod 12. - The operating means 24 has an elongated shape and has a
handle 26 provided on the rear thereof and apart 27 which functions to engage the end of thepin 20 on the front thereof. Thepart 27 is provided with ahole 28 by means of which the operating means is pivotally conencted to the holder means 23 substantially immediately above thepivot 22 for attachment of thebushing 21. The position of thepivot 22 has been referenced x in Figure 5. Theforward part 27 of theoperating means 24 is also provided with aconcave recess 29 which is intended to abut the end of thepin 20 and which includes substantially 90° of a circle. The radii R of therecess 29 are therewith essentially the same, taken from the x. One important advantage afforded hereby is that the force exerted on thepin 20 by the operating means will act substantially in the longitudinal direction of the pin, irrespective of the height position of the stand, i.e. irrespective of the angle between the operating means 24 and the longitudinal axis line of thepin 20. This fact enables the gas-spring 17 to be operated effectively. When thepin 20 is pressed inwardly by means of the operating means 24, the release valve in the gas-spring will open. The gas-spring is thereby compressed with a force which is greater than the resistance exerted by the gas-spring, which takes place when the stand is to be pressed down to a low level. If it is wished to maintain the stand at this low level, the pressure on the pin is removed, thereby causing the pin to return to its starting position. This closes the release valve in the gas-spring and the spring will thereby be blocked and function as a rigid rod. When wishing to raise the stand, thepin 20 is pressed-in by means of theoperating means 24, thereby raising the frame part of the stand to the desired position, whereafter the pressure on thepin 20 is removed. - It will be understood that the invention is not restricted to the described embodiment and that modifications can be made within the scope of the following Claims. For instance, each leg member may consist of a single rod instead of two mutually connected rods, as illustrated in the described embodiment.
