  • Tables according to the preamble of claim 1 are known from US-A-2 532 902 and US-A-1 809 564.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a table according to the preamble of claim 1, in which the table legs can be folded in and out in a simple manner and locked in the unfolded state.
  • the table consists of a table top and at least one table leg that can be folded in or out and is held on the table top by means of a joint fitting, the joint fitting having a first joint part fastened to the table top and a second joint part fastened to one end of the table leg, whereby the two articulated parts for carrying out the folding movement are connected to one another in an articulated manner and a locking device for locking the table leg in the unfolded state is also provided.
  • the locking device is designed in the form of a locking sleeve which is relative to the Hinge fitting between a release and a locking position is slidably supported.
  • the locking sleeve is formed by one end of the table leg.
  • the locking sleeve can first be unlocked and the leg can be folded down in a second handle, only one handle is required in the embodiment according to the invention, since the table leg forms the locking sleeve with its end region at the same time.
  • a locking mechanism is also provided which locks the locking sleeve in the locking position.
  • This locking mechanism can be designed, for example, in the manner of a bayonet catch.
  • the table is designed to be stackable with the table legs folded in, the end face of the first joint parts facing away from the table top forming a support area.
  • the end face expediently has a sliding element for protecting the contact surface.
  • this connecting device is provided in the region of the first joint part and consists of a support element which can be pivoted about an axis perpendicular to the table top.
  • Fig.l is a side view of the table
  • 5 shows a sectional illustration in the region of the holder of the table leg on the table top in the locking position of the locking device
  • 6 shows a sectional view along the line
  • FIG. 7 shows a sectional illustration along the line VII-VII of FIG. 5,
  • Fig.9 is a top view of a table leg from
  • 11 is a bottom view of the table with legs folded down
  • Fig. 13 is a bottom view of a table arrangement.
  • the table shown in the drawings essentially consists of a table top 1 and at least one table leg 2 which can be folded in or out and which is held on the table top 1 by means of an articulated fitting 3.
  • the articulated fitting 3 has a first fastening which is fastened to the table top 1 via a holding element 7. steering part 3.1 and a. attached to one end of the table leg 2 second hinge part 3.2. To carry out the folding movement, both articulated parts are connected to one another in an articulated manner via a bolt 3.3 which extends parallel to the table top and forms a pivot axis.
  • a locking device is provided for locking the table leg in the unfolded state.
  • This locking device is designed in the form of a locking sleeve 2.1, which is held displaceably relative to the joint fitting 3 between a release position (see FIG. 2) and a locking position (see FIG. 5).
  • the locking sleeve 2.1 is formed by an end region of the tubular table leg.
  • the outer circumferential surfaces of the first and second joint parts 3.1 and 3.2 form a sliding surface for the locking sleeve 2.1 in the extended position of the table leg.
  • the leg 2 In the unlocked position according to FIGS. 2 and 8, the leg 2 can be folded down about the bolt 3.3 in the direction of the arrow 4.
  • the locking sleeve 2.1 has an inner circumferential groove 2.2, into which a ring 5 made of spring steel is snapped, which has three projections 5.1 protruding into the locking sleeve.
  • a ring 5 made of spring steel is snapped, which has three projections 5.1 protruding into the locking sleeve.
  • corresponding recesses are provided on the joint parts, which on the one hand enable the locking sleeve 2.1 to be displaced in the axial direction, but prevent rotation between the release position and the locking position.
  • the locking sleeve 2.1 can be locked in the locking position, so that on the one hand the locking sleeve does not accidentally slip into the release position when the table is lifted and on the other hand the locking sleeve 2.1 is held on the tabletop 1 with as little play as possible, to prevent the table from wobbling.
  • a locking mechanism in the manner of a bayonet lock is provided.
  • the locking mechanism consists of an annular groove provided on the first joint part 3.1 or, in the exemplary embodiment shown, of three annular groove segments 3.4 and of the projections 5.1 of the ring 5 fixed to the locking sleeve 2.1, which come into engagement with the annular groove.
  • This is shown in FIG the locking position twisted like a bayonet catch.
  • the projections 5.1 are rotated into the annular groove segments 3.4.
  • the annular groove segments 3.4 have inclined run-up surfaces 3.5 which come into contact with the projections 5.1, so that the locking sleeve 2.1 and thus the table leg 2 are tightened against the first joint part 3.1. There- this results in a largely play-free coupling of the folded-out table leg.
  • FIGS. 9 and 10 are shown in more detail.
  • clips 8.1 are provided in the table top 1 in this area, which cooperate with correspondingly complementary means 8.2 provided at the end of the table leg in such a way that the table leg is held securely on the one hand, but can also be easily released on the other hand.
  • Each table leg is expediently provided with feet 2.3, which allow the table leg to be adjusted in length.
  • the complementarily designed means 8.2 are formed by a plug of the leg 2, which has an axial internal thread into which the foot 2.3 can be screwed in via an external thread 2.4.
  • the table legs can be fixed in the folded position either parallel to the outer edges of the table tops or, as in the example shown in FIG. 11, slightly turned inwards with the table top 1.
  • the variant shown in FIG. 11 is particularly useful when the table legs 2 are too long to fold parallel to the outer edges of the table top.
  • the table can be stacked with the table legs folded.
  • the end face 3.1.1 of the first joint part 3.1 facing away from the table top 1 forms a support area which is provided with a sliding element 9 for protecting the contact surface.
  • the support surface is formed by the table top 1 of the previously placed table.
  • the sliding element is made of felt, for example, so that scratching or damage to the bearing surface can be reliably avoided.
  • the embodiment shown in the drawings not only offers the previously described possibility of folding or unfolding the table legs, but also has a connecting device for releasably connecting the table to an adjacent table element, for example an insert plate.
  • the first joint part 3.1, the connecting device and the mounting plate 7 form a unit attached to the underside of the table top 1.
  • the connecting device has a support element 10 which can be pivoted about an axis 11 perpendicular to the table top 1.
  • the laying-on element 10 provides two support legs 10.1 and 10.2 which are oriented at an angle to one another and rigidly connected to one another, with one or both support legs optionally being pivotable out over the table top 1.
  • the angle between the two rigidly connected support legs 10.1 and 10.2 can be, for example, 90 ° or 135 °.
  • the support element 10 can be snapped into one or more swiveled-out positions.
  • the support legs have bores 10.1.1 and 10.2.1, into which pins can be inserted for connection, which are provided on corresponding suspension plates 1.1 and 1.2.
  • the first joint part 3.1 is firmly connected to the mounting plate 7 by means of a screw 12, while the support element 10 is pivotally mounted on the mounting plate 7.
  • the mounting plate 7 is in turn firmly fixed to the underside of the table top 1.
  • the mounting plate 7, the hinge fitting 3 and the support element 10 form a compact fitting, which on the one hand enables the table legs to be folded down and on the other hand enables the coupling of further table elements.
  • the first joint part 1 is then either connected directly to the underside of the table top 1 or via a mounting plate.
