Definitions

  • the invention relates to an improvement of a transformable set that can be used as desired a table, a workbench or similar, allowing to optimize its transport volume and its storage when said set is not used.
  • Such a set by nature removable in various basic parts, should be easily transportable from a storage location for example to an area any use. To do this in the best conditions it was sought a mutual organization basic elements for rational storage in view of transport or storage elsewhere that is to say occupying a smaller volume while remaining easily manipulable.
  • the transformable assembly perfected by the invention whose main components are represented in Figure 1 is made from pieces of tubes circular or preferably square or rectangular or any prismatic section, assembled between them by welding if the tubes are made of material metallic, bonding or any other means of assembly mechanical if the pieces of tube are made of a material plastic according to a moreover preferred embodiment, by example by molding.
  • This set basically includes two frames identical 1 which each rest on the ground by through two lower legs 2.
  • Each frame 1 on its two feet 2 constitutes a trestle on the bar upper support 3 from which a tray can be placed single or in two half-parts to form with a second identical trestle a table, a workbench or even a scaffolding.
  • An example of this nature is by the way shown in Figure 10 in a folded arrangement for storage or transport.
  • Each frame 1 is composed of two uprights vertical 4 assembled by two horizontal crosspieces upper 3 and lower 5.
  • the horizontal crosspiece upper 3 serving as a support for the possible tray 6 ( Figure 10) can be as in Figure 1 assembled in end of the vertical uprights 4 to allow best lateral adjustments between two trestles arranged in parallel ; according to another configuration not shown in the figures, the horizontal crosspiece superior 3 could be as in the previous patent rigidly linked to the vertical uprights 4 and to a certain distance from their ends so as to leave free end sections of these same uprights 4, extending then upwards, to adjust any heightening allowing an adjustment of the trestle in height.
  • the crossing horizontal lower 5 is itself rigidly linked to vertical uprights 4 at a distance from their lower ends so as to determine two end sections 7 extending downwards and capable of receive directly or via backstage casing 8 the median vertical tubular section 9 of each leg 2 in order to ensure a rigid connection with the frame 1 by mutual interlocking.
  • casing slides 8 can be full or hollow and in a rigid material identical or different from the frame or feet: metal, wood, plastic, these slides 8 will have a substantially outer straight section equal to the internal cross section of the tubular uprights 7 and of the median vertical section 9 of each of the feet 2, of so that we can engage closely.
  • Each leg 2 has a section of tube horizontal 10 to which are rigidly linked, in the middle, a vertical middle section 9 extending as we have seen upwards and at its ends, two vertical shoes 11, extending downward and by which foot 2 is supported on the ground, the shoes 11 are advantageously made up by tube sections, for example identical to the tube forming the crosspieces 3,5 or the vertical uprights 4.
  • stiffeners 12 formed by hollow tubular sections or filled with the same or different material than the frame and feet possibly having a given length adjustable and an external cross section corresponding to the internal cross section of the horizontal tubular section 10 of each foot 2 so as to be able to engage closely in this section 10.
  • the stiffening elements 12 can be, like the socket keys 8, blocked in the various tubular elements with which he collaborates by all known means such as a pin passing through drilled holes in the various elements, pressure screws screwed into the tubular wall pressing on the internal element, etc. ... that is well known to the skilled person.
  • a Convertible assembly consists in placing an upper rail 15 and a lower rail 16 extending longitudinally in their median plane on each of the faces 3a and 5 a opposite the two horizontal crosspieces 3.5 of each frame 1 coming respectively to cooperate, for example for the lower rail 16, with aligned grooves 17, 18 provided on each bearing face 19 of the shoes 11 of the two feet 2 which are advantageously identical and such that their total height H ( Figure 2) is equal to or slightly less than the distance d ( Figure 3) between faces 3, 5a with respect to the horizontal cross-3,5 of the frame 1, and for upper rail 15 with a groove 21 parallel to the other two 17,18 provided at the end of the vertical section 9 of said foot, the three grooves 17,18,21 having a section corresponding to the thickness of the rails 15,16 and eta nt in the same median plane of the foot 1 as shown in Figure 2, and to provide a discontinuity 22 on at least one rail, for example upper 15 made over a distance
  • each foot 2 previously disassembled from each frame 1 in its rectangular interior space by proceeding as follows with reference to FIG. 3: the foot 2 is engaged in the interior space of the frame 1 as it is shown in dotted lines in Figure 3; that is to say that the two grooves 17, 18 of the shoes 11 of said foot 2 are engaged two feet for example on the lower rail 16 (FIG. 3); the foot 2 is then tilted along the arrow R towards the inside of the frame by pivoting on the rail 16 of the cross-member 5 until the upper end of the vertical median section 9 coincides with the discontinuity 22 of the upper rail 15 of such that the groove 21 is then aligned with the rail 15; finally, it suffices to shift to the right of FIG.
  • the second foot corresponding to the same frame 1 will be placed next to the first using make a symmetrical discontinuity 22 of the first and in proceeding in exactly the same way both for the assembly only for disassembly.
  • feet 2 having very different proportions to collaborate with the same frame 1; in this regard and with reference to Figures 4 to 9 we can use the provisions of the invention to fit different kinds of feet 2 in the interior of the same frame 1 according to the respective height between the height of the shoes 11 and the vertical median section 9 (see for example the embodiments in FIGS. 4, 6 and 9) or also according to the length of the horizontal sections 10 requiring, for example, a nesting as shown in FIG. 6 or 7.
  • each rail two discontinuities 15 and 16 22 disposed at an equal distance one from the left upright 4a ( Figure 3) and the other of the right amount 4b ( Figure 3), such that the two feet 2 may be arranged and kept flat side by side where head to tail or possibly nested.
  • the uprights 4, sleepers 3.5 and sections tubular 7,9,10,11 will all be taken with the same section circular, rectangular, square or prismatic line of so that they can cooperate with the same casing slides 8, advantageously of straight section identical although being able to be different being able then engage just inside certain sections 7,9,10 to serve as a connection for example between feet 2 and the frame 1.
  • the slides 8 and the stiffeners 12 can be debited from the same identical or different material bar: metal, wood, plastic material, cut into lengths in relationship with the destination of the convertible assembly, can also be reduced in length at any time by a simple sawing operation.
  • the frames 1 and feet 2 are obtained by molding a plastic according to two identical half pieces which are joined according to a joint plane providing on each half shell a canvas whose juxtaposition at the mounting will form each rail 15, and 16 lower and upper on the horizontal crossbars lower 5 and superior 3.
  • this, in accordance with FIG. 10, is consisting of a plate of width equal to the largest width of frame 1 and length at least equal to two times the height of the same frame; in addition, the plate 6 can advantageously be surrounded by a side skirt 23 extending over a height at least equal to the thickness of the frame 1 to allow it to accommodate two flat frames 1 mounted head to tail and held in pairs nested stiffeners 12 in the end sections 7 of vertical uprights 4 of the frames 1 facing each other, both feet 2 of each frame 1 being arranged in space inside each frame and held laterally by stiffeners 12 or possibly by slides casing 8 as explained above.
  • stiffeners 12 and the backstage 8 are interchangeable in their functions assigned throughout the above description; indeed, either of these 12.8 coins may be debited at desired length and in particular the replacement of 8 shorter casing slides by stiffeners 12 longer may be advantageous for raising the crosspiece top of each frame 1 while keeping the same feet 2.
