Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a multi-use anchor plate for table legs, which, in particular, can also be used as a junction plate between tables.
  • tables are generally made up of parts which can be dismantled to facilitate their transportation and storage, making them much less bulky.
  • the leg-fixing system should enable easy dismantling without causing the quality of the connection to deteriorate over a period of time, as a result of this operation.
  • a solution to this necessity consists of the use of an interposed connecting device, firmly applied to each corner of the table, to which the leg is connected.
  • a solution is already currently in use, which combines the two necessities, consisting of a metal plate, suitably shaped, on which there is a sufficient number of holes appropriately positioned, to allow use in both situations.
  • a metal plate suitably shaped, on which there is a sufficient number of holes appropriately positioned, to allow use in both situations.
  • At each corner of the table surface there are holes with a standard arrangement, to which the plate is fixed, both for joining two tables and also in assembly on the corner, for fixing the leg.
  • devices for a reciprocal firm anchorage between plate and leg are devices for a reciprocal firm anchorage between plate and leg.
  • An objective of the present invention is to produce an anchor plate for table legs, which can also be used in particular as a junction plate between tables, which is not bulky and reduces the risk of damaging people and objects when assembled on the table surfaces.
  • a further objective of the present invention is to produce a multi-use anchor plate for table legs which optimizes the holing system effected on the corner of the table surface with respect to both uses of the plate.
  • Yet another objective of the present invention is to produce a multi-use anchor plate for table legs which is particularly simple and functional, with limited costs.
  • these illustrate a multi-use anchor plate for table legs, indicated as a whole with 10, in the form of a right-angle triangle and symmetrical with respect to a median axis 11 which contains the height of the triangle.
  • the vertexes are amply rounded and the profile is curved in the central portion of the hypotenuse.
  • a plate 10 formed as described above has the dimensions indicated in figure 8 .
  • said relief 15 is round and has a central threaded hole.
  • the table leg, having a threaded stem, is therefore inserted in the threaded hole of the relief 15.
  • the space between table and plate, created by said relief 15, forms a housing for receiving the threaded stem and ensures the grip of all the hole threads, without having to resort to the perforation of the table surface ( figure 5 ).
  • a second embodiment is also proposed of a multi-use anchor plate for table legs ( figure 6 ), which differs from the previous one only in that the relief 16 in the central zone, is hexagonal with a non-threaded central hole.
  • a hexagonal nut or a suitably sized screw having an axial hexagonal head are inserted, as an alternative, in the hexagonal housing, to ensure that they correctly fit into hexagonal form of the relief 16 when anchoring the leg.
  • the leg can therefore be equipped with a threaded stem or threaded hole, respectively.
  • the surface T of the table used which allows both types of assembly, is equipped with a total of 9 holes, arranged at an equidistance of 32 mm in line, at the corner.
  • the holes F of the latter with an interspacing of 32 mm, therefore exactly coincide with the buttonholes 12 and holes 13 of the plate 10, also having an interspacing of 32 mm, as can be seen in detail in figure 8 .
  • the holes 14 of the plate 10 on the other hand, have an interspacing between each other and from the buttonholes 12, in line with these, of 64 mm.
  • the assembly of the plate onto the corner of the table for fixing the table leg utilizes the buttonholes 12 and holes 13 arranged on each cathetus of the triangular plate ( figure 3 ).
  • the assembly of the plate as a junction between two tables is effected by positioning said plate with the hypotenuse arranged along the outer edge of the two joined tables.
  • the buttonholes 12 along the catheti, and the holes 14 on the hypotenuse are used ( figure 4 ).
  • the anchor plate for table legs which, in particular, can also be used as a junction plate between tables, object of the present invention, has the advantage of being flat, without protruding connecting elements, which allows table surfaces, to whose corners said plates have been pre-applied, to be stacked up with limited bulk, thus reducing the risk of damage and accidents.
