Abstract

Es wird ein in der Konstruktion sehr einfacher Klapptischbeschlag beschrieben, der universell unabhängig von der Form der Tischplatte (3) und der Tischbeine (1) verwendbar ist. Die Tischbeine (1) sind in einem unter der Tischplatte (3) befestigten Lagerbauteil (4) schwenkbar gelagert und werden in Gebrauchsstellung des Tisches (2) durch einen ebenfalls im Lagerbauteil (4) schwenkbar gelagerten Fallriegel (6) durch die Schwerkraft desselben selbsttätig verriegelt und bei in Stapelstellung gebrachtem Tisch (2) ebenfalls selbsttätig entriegelt, wobei der Fallriegel (6) wiederum durch sein Eigengewicht aus der Verriegelungsstellung herausschwenkt. In Verriegelungsstellung ist jedes Tischbein (1) zwischen dem Fallriegel (6) und einem festen Anschlag (7)innerhalb des Lagerbauteils (4) gehalten.

Figure 00000001
A very simple folding table fitting is described which can be used universally regardless of the shape of the table top (3) and the table legs (1). The table legs (1) are pivotally mounted in a bearing component (4) fastened under the table top (3) and are automatically locked in the position of use of the table (2) by a latch bolt (6) which is also pivotably mounted in the bearing component (4) by the force of gravity thereof and also automatically unlocked when the table (2) is in the stacked position, the latch bolt (6) in turn swiveling out of the locking position by its own weight. In the locked position, each table leg (1) is held between the latch bolt (6) and a fixed stop (7) within the bearing component (4).
