Definitions

  • the invention relates to an improved folding table, of the type comprising a tray and a base articulated to the tray and foldable against it.
  • This type of table is widely used for outdoors (garden, camping ...) or as a side table. In this way, it is not useful to describe it here in detail.
  • the plate is made of fiber / resin agglomerated material, and the tubular base uses compasses to be able to be unfolded, then held in the open position.
  • this solution presents significant risks of pinching during unfolding, which also remains a complex operation.
  • this type of table also presents risks of inadvertent folding if the compasses are incorrectly locked.
  • connection portion of the two legs of the base takes the form of a U-shaped jumper arranged in the plane of the leg, which cooperates with a free spring leaf by positioning itself in a housing provided for this purpose in the leaf spring.
  • the base which is directly and firmly fixed to the plate and is locked in position by the leaf spring, is poorly locked, therefore often unstable.
  • the invention overcomes these drawbacks. It is aimed at a folding table of the type in question which is economical to manufacture, easy to unfold and fold, even by children, and which does not present the risks of pinching and instability mentioned above.
  • the invention also relates to a folding table of the type in question which can be entirely made of plastic material injected by molding, which makes it possible to achieve attractive manufacturing costs and to obtain products which are easy to maintain.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic summary representation of a U-shaped table according to the invention, shown in bottom view in FIG. 2.
  • Figure 3 is a front view representation of a leg characteristic of the invention.
  • Figure 8 is a summary representation of a particular embodiment of the plate.
  • the table according to the invention essentially comprises a tray (1), for example of molded plastic, and two U-shaped legs designated by the reference (2) and (3), articulated and foldable (see Figure 2 ) against the underside or underside of the plate (4).
  • Each base (2,3) is formed by a U-shaped jamb comprising two branches (5,6) and (7,8) terminated by suitable end pieces (9,10).
  • Each pair of branches (5,6) is connected by a horizontal connection portion respectively (11,12), fixed and articulated on the lower face (4) of the plate (1), to be clipped in the open position substantially orthogonal to the plane of the plate (1).
  • the references (70) and (71) designate reinforcing ribs on the lower face (4) of the plate.
  • Each leg (2,3) forming a base comprises, on the connection portion (11,12), two U-shaped jumpers respectively (15,16,17,18), shown in Figure 2, arranged in the plane of each leg (2,3) and inside the U, fixed to the connection portion (11) or (12) by the ends (20) of the branches (21,22) linked together by another connection portion (23 ).
  • the means of articulation and clipping shown in detail in Figures 2 to 7, comprises a deformable leaf spring (30) (bendable) directly injected, one end (31) of which has two flexible forks (32,33) allowing it to be fixed by clipping into ribs (34,35) coming from molding to reinforce the plate (1).
  • the blade (30) arranged in alignment with the rider (15) is firmly fixed on the underside (4) of the plate (1).
  • the other end (36) of the blade (30) follows the shape of a U-shaped groove to receive by clipping the connection portion (23) of the jumper (15) (see Figures 4 to 6). In this way, the U-shaped jumper (15-18) is firmly clipped to the end (36) of the spring leaf (30) which can deform by bending.
  • the articulation and clipping means also comprises a yoke, designated by the general reference (40), located at the lower face (4) of the plate (1) and aligned with the blade ( 30). In the transverse plane, this yoke follows an oblong shape, to allow the sliding of the connection portion (11) between these two ends, respectively (41) and (42).
  • the height H of this oblong section (40) is slightly greater than the diameter D of the connection portion (11) to allow sliding.
  • the end (41) of the oblong shape (40) disposed closest to the leaf spring (30), has a lug (43) molded, intended to block the connection portion (11) when the jamb in U (2) is unfolded to hold it in this position by locking against the walls respectively (44) and (45).
  • this clipping end (41) is formed of two portions, respectively (41) and (41 '), arranged on either side of the blade (30), to allow the passage and the bending thereof during unfolding.
  • the yoke (40) has on the top a transverse slot (50) arranged on an arc of a circle whose radius corresponds to the length of the spring leaf (30) mounted at its fixed point (31), to allow the passage of the connection portion (23) of the jumper (15) during the deployment of the jamb.
  • the two facing lips (51, 52) of the slot (50) are inclined towards the outside, for example of the order of 15 degrees, to facilitate the passage of (23) during unfolding (see FIG. 7).
  • connection portion (11) In the folded position ( Figure 6), the connection portion (11) is folded against the end (42) where it is simply housed.
  • the blade (30) is slightly curved.
  • the plate (1) is formed by two elementary plates (60,61) each having on the side of the notches (62,63) allowing on the one hand, to attach them by a common face (64 ) thus defining an opening (65) capable of receiving the end (66) of a parasol mast (67).
  • the table according to the invention is easy to manufacture, since it can be entirely made of plastic, easy to store and to handle, even by children and without the risk of pinching.
