  • table legs from one Completely dismantle table top or a table foldable to perform by folding the table legs arranged at the bottom of the table top are.
  • each two legs rotatable by one on the Bottom of the table top stored, for example connecting element formed in the form of a tube firmly connected to each other so that they pivoted as a unit or folded and with the help of a latch attached to the underside of the table top can be.
  • US-A-2 532 902 is a table known according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention has for its object a table specify according to the preamble of claim 1, at which the table legs turn on or off in a simple way foldable and lockable when unfolded are.
  • the table consists of a table top and at least a table leg that can be folded in or out, the held on the table top by means of an articulated fitting is, the hinge fitting one on the table top attached first joint part and one on one Second joint part fastened at the end of the table leg has, the two joint parts for execution the folding movement are hinged together and further a locking device for locking the table leg is provided in the unfolded state is.
  • the locking device is in shape a locking sleeve formed relative to Joint fitting between a release and a locking position is slidably supported, the locking sleeve can be locked in the locking position by turning it in the manner of a bayonet catch.
  • the locking sleeve is through formed the upper end portion of the table leg shaped like a clock.
  • the table is also folded Table legs designed to be stackable, with the face of the first facing away from the table top Joint parts form a support area.
  • the face expediently has a sliding element for Protection of the contact surface.

  • the table shown in the drawings consists of essentially from a table top 1 and at least one foldable or extendable table leg 2, which by means of a hinge fitting 3 held on the table top 1 is.
  • the hinge fitting 3 has a on the table top 1 fastened via a mounting element 7 first joint part 3.1 and one attached to one end of the table leg 2 second joint part 3.2. Both joint parts are articulated to perform the folding movement one extending parallel to the table top, one Bolt 3.3 forming pivot axis connected to each other.
  • This locking device is in the form of a Locking sleeve 2.1 formed relative to the hinge fitting 3 between a release position (see Fig.2) and a locking position (see Fig.5) is slidably supported.
  • the locking sleeve 2.1 through an end portion of the tubular trained table leg.
  • the locking sleeve 2.1 has an inner circumferential groove 2.2 on, in which a ring 5 made of spring steel snapped is the three protruding into the locking sleeve Has protrusions 5.1.
  • the locking sleeve can 2.1 lock in the locking position, so that on the one hand the locking sleeve when Do not accidentally lift the table into the release position slips and on the other hand the locking sleeve 2.1 held on the tabletop 1 with as little play as possible is about a wobble of the table set up to avoid.
  • a locking mechanism according to Art a bayonet lock provided.
  • the locking mechanism consists of one on the first joint part 3.1 provided annular groove or in the illustrated Embodiment of three ring groove segments 3.4 and from the projections engaging the ring groove 5.1 of the fixed to the locking sleeve 2.1 Rings 5.
  • To lock the locking sleeve 2.1 is this in the locking position like a Twisted bayonet catch. In doing so, the projections 5.1 rotated into the ring groove segments 3.4.
  • the Ring groove segments 3.4 have inclined run-up surfaces 3.5 on that come into contact with the projections 5.1, so that the locking sleeve 2.1 and thus the table leg 2 is tightened against the first joint part 3.1. Thereby there is a largely play-free coupling of the unfolded table leg.
  • Each table leg is expediently with feet 2.3 provided a lengthwise adjustment of the table leg enable.
  • feet 2.3 provided a lengthwise adjustment of the table leg enable.
  • the illustrated embodiment are the complementary 8.2 trained by formed a plug of the leg 2, the one has axial internal thread into which the foot 2.3 over an external thread 2.4 can be screwed in.
  • the table legs can be in the folded position optionally parallel to the outer edges of the table tops or, as in the example shown in FIG. 11, fixed slightly inward with the table top 1 become.
  • the variant shown in Fig. 11 offers itself especially when the table legs 2 for folding parallel to the outer edges of the table top are long.
  • the table is folded Stackable table legs.
  • the from the table top 1 facing end face 3.1.1 of the first joint part 3.1 forms a support area with a sliding element 9 is provided to protect the contact surface.
  • the support surface each through the table top 1 of the previously filed Formed table.
  • the sliding element is, for example made of felt, so that scratching or damage the contact surface can be reliably avoided.
  • connection device for detachable connection the table with an adjacent table element, for example an insert plate.
  • the first joint part 3.1, the connecting device and the mounting plate 7 form one on the underside the table top 1 attached unit.
  • the connection device has one to the table top 1 vertical axis 11 pivotable support element 10 on.
  • the laying element 10 sees two in Angle aligned and rigid with each other connected support legs 10.1 and 10.2 before, optionally one or both support legs over the table top 1 can be swung out.
  • the angle between the two rigidly connected support legs 10.1 and 10.2 can be 90 ° or 135 °, for example.
  • the support element 10 in one or more pivoted positions snapped.
  • the support legs have holes 10.1.1 and 10.2.1 on, into which pins can be inserted for connection provided on corresponding suspension plates 1.1 or 1.2 are.
  • the first joint part 3.1 is fixed to the mounting plate 7 connected by a screw 12 while the Support element 10 can be pivoted on the mounting plate 7 is stored.
  • the mounting plate 7 is again firmly attached to the underside of the table top 1.
  • the mounting plate 7, the hinge fitting 3 and that Support element 10 form a compact fitting that firstly folding the table legs and secondly enables the coupling of further table elements.
