Abstract

The folding table consists of a support (3) with two mobile panels (1, 2) that can be moved relative to it between horizontal and vertical positions. Each panel forms a structure of reversible configuration with the support to give deployed and folded positions, and the system has locking assemblies (6, 11, 17; 7, 12, 20) that fix the panels in the required position. The locking assemblies are controlled by a rack and pinion mechanism beneath each of the panels.

Description

Les tables de tennis de table pliantes sont bien connues : elles comportent deux plateaux reliés de manière articulée à un support par des leviers de sorte que chaque plateau peut prendre deux positions, à savoir une position verticale notamment pour le rangement et une position horizontale.Folding table tennis tables are good known: they include two trays connected in a articulated to a support by levers so that each tray can take two positions, namely a vertical position especially for storage and a position horizontal.

Il existe plusieurs organes de liaison du plateau au support mettant en jeu des leviers ou des bras dont les géométries et les articulations sont adaptées à une cinématique particulière du mouvement de dépliement/repliement.There are several liaison organs of the plateau the support involving levers or arms geometries and joints are adapted to a particular kinematics of the unfolding / folding movement.

Dans un souci de diminuer l'encombrement d'une table dans son état de rangement, c'est-à-dire à l'état replié, on a recherché des mécanismes qui permettent de parvenir à une position verticale des plateaux dans laquelle ils sont pratiquement face contre face ou en tout cas le plus rapprochés possible et dans laquelle ils sont le plus bas possible afin que le centre de gravité de l'ensemble soit au plus bas pour obtenir une stabilité maximale de la table repliée.In order to reduce the clutter of a table in its state of storage, that is to say in the state folded, we looked for mechanisms that allow us to achieve a vertical position of the trays in which they are practically face to face or in any case as close as possible and in which they are as low as possible so that the center of gravity of the set is at the lowest to obtain stability maximum of the folded table.

Pour atteindre cet objectif, il est nécessaire que le bord de chaque plateau voisin du filet, lorsque la table est dans son état de jeu, puisse changer d'altitude ce qui interdit une liaison fixe en position des plateaux avec le support au niveau du bord susdit. Aussi, est-il connu de mettre en oeuvre des moyens de verrouillage qui ont pour fonction, en bloquant entre eux deux des éléments qui constituent la structure dépliable (y compris le support et chacun des plateaux), de rigidifier cette structure. Ces moyens peuvent être en nombre et/ou répartis de manière telle que la rigidification de la structure soit réalisée lorsque la table est dans son état de jeu ou dans son état de rangement. De tels moyens sont par exemple illustrés par le document DE-A-299 01 458 U.To achieve this goal, it is necessary the edge of each tray next to the net, when the table is in its state of play, can change altitude which prohibits a fixed link in position of the trays with the support at the aforementioned edge. Also, is it known to implement locking means which have as their function, blocking between them two elements which constitute the unfoldable structure (including the support and each of the trays), to stiffen this structure. These means can be in number and / or distributed in such a way that the stiffening of the structure is performed when the table is in its state of play or in its storage state. Such means are for example illustrated by DE-A-299 01 458 U.

Il est possible, lors de la manoeuvre d'une table, que les mouvements de repliement ou de dépliement ne soient pas tout à fait achevés, si bien que la structure peut ne pas avoir atteint l'un ou l'autre de ces états dans lequel le verrouillage rigidificateur peut devenir opérationnel. Ces obstacles à l'achèvement des mouvements peuvent être ignorés de l'usager qui croít la structure verrouillée alors qu'elle ne l'est pas. C'est ainsi que la table peut soit se déplier spontanément soit, sous l'effet d'une charge au voisinage du filet, amorcer un mouvement de repliement. On comprend que l'ouverture intempestive d'une table pliante puisse blesser un usager se trouvant à proximité. On comprend également que si la charge sur une table ouverte est un enfant, ce dernier puisse glisser entre les deux plateaux dont l'un au moins se serait effacé sous son poids, pour tendre ensuite à retomber horizontalement et blesser gravement l'enfant en le pinçant entre les deux plateaux.It is possible, when maneuvering a table, that folding or unfolding movements do not are not quite complete, so the structure may not have reached either of these states in which the stiffening lock can become operational. These obstacles to the completion of the movements can be ignored by the user who grows the structure locked when it is not. Therefore the table can either unfold spontaneously or under the effect of a charge in the vicinity of the net, initiate a folding movement. We understand that untimely opening a folding table could hurt a user nearby. We also understand that if the load on an open table is a child, the latter can slide between the two trays, at least one of which would have erased under his weight, to then tend to fall back horizontally and seriously injure the child by pinching it between the two trays.

Il existe donc un besoin d'équiper une table pliante de tennis de table de moyens de sécurité visant à empêcher que de tels accidents surviennent.There is therefore a need to equip a table folding table tennis safety means aimed at prevent such accidents from occurring.

A cet effet l'invention a donc pour objet une table pliante pour tennis de table comprenant un support, deux plateaux mobiles par rapport au support entre une position horizontale et une position verticale, chaque plateau étant relié au support par une structure de configuration déformable de manière réversible entre un état déplié correspondant à la position horizontale du plateau et un état replié correspondant à la position verticale de ce dernier, la structure comportant des moyens de verrouillage effaçable pour la bloquer dans l'un au moins de ces deux états.For this purpose the invention therefore relates to a table folding for table tennis including a support, two trays moving relative to the support between a horizontal position and a vertical position, each tray being connected to the support by a configuration structure reversibly deformable between a state unfolded corresponding to the horizontal position of the board and a folded state corresponding to the vertical position of the latter, the structure comprising locking means erasable to block it in at least one of these two states.

Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, la structure déformable comprend des moyens de butée venant en prise lorsque la configuration de la structure déformable est voisine de, c'est-à-dire n'a pas pu atteindre celle correspondant à son état verrouillé et s'opposant à la réversibilité de cette configuration. Ces moyens de butée constituent une sécurité qui interdit le repliement ou le déploiement spontané d'une table alors que son verrouillage n'est pas opérationnel.According to one characteristic of the invention, the structure deformable comprises stop means engaging when the configuration of the deformable structure is close to, i.e. could not reach the one corresponding to its locked state and opposing the reversibility of this configuration. These stop means constitute a safety which forbids the folding or the spontaneous deployment of a table while its locking is not operational.

De manière préférée les moyens de butée sont agencés pour venir en prise lorsque la configuration de la structure déformable est voisine de chacun des deux états repliés ou dépliés de la structure.Preferably the stop means are arranged to engage when the configuration of the deformable structure is close to each of the two folded or unfolded states of the structure.

Selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention, chaque plateau de la table est muni en saillie par rapport à chacun de ses chants latéraux d'un doigt engagé dans une glissière de guidage correspondante solidaire du support et de direction générale verticale et dans lequel les moyens de verrouillage susdits comprennent, sur chaque chant latéral du plateau, un pène d'axe perpendiculaire à ce chant et rappelé élastiquement suivant son axe en direction du support qui présente en regard de chaque chant latéral un logement formant gâche de réception du pène correspondant lorsque la structure est dans au moins l'un de ses deux états susdits. Les moyens de butée comprennent alors le pène et un logement secondaire, limité du côté de la gâche par une paroi de glissement du pène et du côté opposé à la gâche par un épaulement d'arrêt du pène. Ainsi réalisés, les moyens de butée ne s'opposent pas à la poursuite d'un mouvement en direction de l'état de verrouillage du plateau mais s'opposent, lorsque le mouvement de repliement ou de dépliement de la table n'est pas complètement achevé, au mouvement inverse de reploiement ou de dépliement de la table.According to one embodiment of the invention, each table top is protruding from each of his side chants a finger engaged in a corresponding guide rail secured to the support and of a vertical branch and in which the said locking means comprise, on each lateral edge of the plate, a pin with an axis perpendicular to this song and elastically recalled along its axis in the direction support that presents next to each song lateral housing forming a latch reception corresponding when the structure is in at least one of its two aforementioned states. The stop means comprise then the bolt and a secondary housing, limited from side of the strike by a sliding wall of the bolt and on the opposite side to the keeper by a stop shoulder of bolt. Thus achieved, the abutment means do not oppose not in pursuit of a move towards the state plate lock but oppose, when the folding or unfolding the table is not completely completed, with the reverse movement of folding or unfolding the table.

Pour assurer cette sécurité tant au dépliement qu'au repliement de la table, le support présente un autre logement formant gâche de réception du pène correspondant lorsque la structure est dans son autre état et les moyens de butée comprennent un autre logement secondaire limité du côté de l'autre gâche par une paroi de glissement du pène et du côté opposé à cette autre gâche par un épaulement d'arrêt du pène.To ensure this security both to the unfolding that the folding of the table, the support presents another receiving louvre receiving slot corresponding when the structure is in its other state and the abutment means comprise another secondary housing limited on the side of the other strike by a wall of sliding of the bolt and the opposite side to this other latch by a stop shoulder of the bolt.

Dans cette réalisation, plus précisément encore, chaque doigt a la forme d'une douille, chaque pène étant interne au doigt et chaque gâche et logement secondaire associés à ce pène se trouvant au fond de la glissière associée à ce doigt. On peut ainsi mettre en oeuvre des moyens d'actionnement de ces moyens de verrouillage et de butée, à l'encontre de leur rappel élastique, qui comportent un lien relié à chaque pène s'étendant le long de la face inférieure du plateau et un moyen de traction de ce lien qui s'étend jusqu'au voisinage du chant transversal extérieur du plateau.In this realization, more precisely still, each finger has the shape of a socket, each pin being internal finger and each striker and secondary housing associated with this bolt lying at the bottom of the slide associated with that finger. We can thus implement means for actuating these locking means and stop, against their elastic return, which comprise a link connected to each bolt extending along the underside of the tray and a pulling means of this link that extends to the vicinity of the transverse song outside the board.

Le lien relié à chaque pène est une tige en une seule pièce avec le pène, pourvue à son extrémité opposée au pène d'une crémaillère tandis que le moyen de traction comporte une tige montée coulissante sous le plateau, pourvue à son extrémité voisine du chant transversal extérieur du plateau, d'une poignée et à son autre extrémité d'une crémaillère qui coopère avec une roue dentée en prise avec la crémaillère de la tige de chaque pène. La roue dentée est montée tournante dans un boítier de guidage des crémaillères susdites avec une épaisseur étant au moins égale à la somme de la largeur de chaque crémaillère. Enfin, le boítier possède des moyens pour sa fixation sur le cadre du plateau notamment sur la traverse de ce cadre formant le chant du plateau voisin du filet.The link connected to each bolt is a rod in one single piece with the bolt, provided at its opposite end to the rack of a rack while the pulling means has a rod slidably mounted under the plate, provided at its proximal end with the outer transverse edge the tray, a handle and at its other end of a rack which cooperates with a toothed wheel taken with the rack of the rod of each bolt. The gear wheel is rotatably mounted in a guide housing aforesaid racks with a thickness being at least equal to the sum of the width of each rack. Finally, the case has means for its fastening to the frame of the plate, particularly on the transom of this frame forming the song of the plateau near the net.

A la figure 1, une table pliante de tennis de table est représentée partiellement. Elle comporte deux plateaux 1, 2, le plateau 1 étant dans son état de jeu et le plateau 2 étant dans son état de rangement. Chacun des plateaux est relié à un support général qui, dans le cas de la figure, comporte deux mâts 3 centraux et latéraux entretoisés par des moyens non représentés, chaque mât comprenant des fentes 4, 5 de coulissement pour des doigts 6, 7 de guidage des plateaux 1 et 2 faisant saillie de leurs bords latéraux 1a, 2a au voisinage du chant 1b, 2b du plateau qui est voisin du centre de la table, c'est-à-dire du filet lorsque le plateau est en état de jeu.In Figure 1, a folding table tennis table is shown partially. It comprises two trays 1, 2, the tray 1 being in its state of play and the tray 2 being in its storage state. Each of the trays is connected to a general support which, in the case of the figure, comprises two central and lateral masts 3 braced by means not shown, each mast comprising slits 4, 5 of sliding for guiding fingers 6, 7 the trays 1 and 2 projecting from the side edges 1a, 2a in the vicinity of the edge 1b, 2b of the plate which is adjacent the center of the table, that is to say the net when the tray is state of play

De manière connue, des bras tels que 8 sont articulés entre chacun des plateaux et chacun des mâts du support.In known manner, arms such as 8 are articulated between each of the trays and each of the masts of the support.

La figure 3 illustre une structure semblable à celle de la figure 1, dans laquelle les éléments déjà décrits portent les mêmes références, et de laquelle apparaíssent d'autres composants tels que les leviers 9 et un piétement arrière 10 repliable qui appartiennent à la structure de configuration déformable que forme la table pliante.Figure 3 illustrates a structure similar to that of FIG. 1, in which the elements already described bear the same references, and from which appear other components such as levers 9 and a 10 folding rear legs that belong to the deformable configuration structure that forms the table Folding.

A la figure 1, chaque mât 3 comporte le long de chacune des fentes 4 et 5 un cliquet supérieur 11 et un cliquet inférieur 12. A cette figure ne sont représentés que le cliquet supérieur relatif à la fente 4 et le cliquet inférieur relatif à la fente 5. Chacun de ces cliquets est en forme de levier articulé autour d'un axe horizontal 13, 14 et est rappelé en direction de la fente correspondante par un organe élastique représenté ici sous la forme d'une lame flexible 15, 16. Les cliquets supérieurs 11 présentent deux encoches 17, 18 en interférence avec la fente de guidage 4 et tournées vers le haut. L'encoche inférieure 17 constitue une butée interdisant à la partie du doigt 6 qui s'étend au-delà du mât 3 de parcourir la fente 4 vers le bas lorsqu'elle n'a pas pu atteindre l'encoche 18. En revanche, ce doigt 6 peut continuer de parcourir la fente 4 vers le haut en glissant sur la paroi inclinée 19 du cliquet 11 pour l'escamoter à l'encontre de la lame flexible 15 afin d'atteindre l'encoche 18 qui constitue la gâche de verrouillage du plateau 1 en position horizontale. Le cliquet 12 comporte de manière symétrique deux encoches 20 et 21 tournées vers le bas, dont la première constitue une butée interdisant au plateau 2 de se rabattre lorsque le doigt 7 y est logé et dont la seconde 21 constitue une gâche de verrouillage du plateau 2 en position verticale. La surface inclinée 22 située entre les deux encoches permet au doigt 7 d'atteindre la gâche 21. In FIG. 1, each mast 3 comprises along each of the slots 4 and 5 an upper ratchet 11 and a lower ratchet 12. In this figure are shown that the upper ratchet relative to the slot 4 and the ratchet lower relative to the slot 5. Each of these ratchets is in the form of a lever articulated around a horizontal axis 13, 14 and is recalled towards the slot corresponding by an elastic member shown here in the form of a flexible blade 15, 16. The ratchets upper 11 have two notches 17, 18 interfering with the guide slot 4 and turned towards the high. The lower notch 17 constitutes a stop preventing at the part of the finger 6 which extends beyond the mast 3 to go down the slot 4 when it does not could reach the notch 18. In contrast, this finger 6 can continue to go through slot 4 upwards while sliding on the inclined wall 19 of the pawl 11 for retract it against the flexible blade 15 so to reach the notch 18 which constitutes the lock strike from tray 1 in horizontal position. The ratchet 12 comprises symmetrically two notches 20 and 21 turned down, the first of which constitutes a stop preventing the plate 2 from falling back when the finger 7 is housed and the second 21 is a lock striker plate 2 in vertical position. The inclined surface 22 located between the two notches allows the finger 7 to reach the striker 21.

La figure 2 illustre pour chacun des plateaux 1 et 2 une position dangereuse. En effet, le doigt 6 solidaire du plateau 1 n'a pas atteint la gâche 18 parce que par exemple les pieds 10 de ce plateau reposent sur un sol qui n'est pas horizontal ou qui présente un obstacle juste à cet endroit empêchant le plateau 1 d'atteindre sa position horizontale. On comprend que sous l'effet d'une charge P rien ne s'oppose à ce que le doigt 6 glisse dans la fente 4, sauf l'encoche 17 du cliquet 11 qui constitue un cran de sécurité limitant le repliement du panneau 1. De la même manière mais de façon inverse, la figure 2 illustre la position instable du plateau 2 qui n'a pas atteint tout à fait sa position verticale dans laquelle le doigt 7 serait verrouillé par la gâche 21, si bien que rien n'empêche ce doigt 7 de remonter le long de la fente 5 lors d'un basculement du plateau 2, sauf l'encoche 20 du cliquet 12 qui vient l'intercepter.Figure 2 illustrates for each of the trays 1 and 2 a dangerous position. Indeed, the finger 6 solidaire of plateau 1 did not reach the strike 18 because for example the feet 10 of this tray rest on a ground that is not horizontal or has an obstacle just here preventing the plateau 1 from reaching its horizontal position. We understand that under the effect of a charge P nothing prevents the finger 6 from sliding in the slot 4, except the notch 17 of the pawl 11 which constitutes a safety catch limiting the folding of the panel 1. In the same way but inversely, Figure 2 illustrates the unstable position of plateau 2 which has not reached quite its vertical position in which the finger 7 would be locked by the strike 21, so that nothing prevents this finger 7 to go up along the slot 5 during a tilting of the plate 2, except the notch 20 ratchet 12 that comes to intercept.

Les sécurités représentées aux figures 1 et 2 le sont à titre tout à fait schématique pour illustrer la fonction générale des moyens de l'invention qui est d'interdire la réversibilité de la configuration de la structure déformable formée par chaque plateau, le support et les leviers d'une table pliante de tennis de table lorsque cette configuration est voisine d'un état replié ou déplié du plateau. Ce n'est pas sortir du cadre de l'invention que de prévoir de tels cliquets ou des organes analogues par exemple à l'endroit des articulations des leviers 8 ou 9 avec le plateau 1 ou avec le pied 10.The securities represented in FIGS. 1 and 2 are entirely schematic to illustrate the general function of the means of the invention which is to forbid the reversibility of the configuration of the structure deformable formed by each tray, the support and the levers of a folding table tennis table when this configuration is close to a folded state or unfolded from the board. This is not outside the scope of the invention than to provide such ratchets or organs analogues for example at the joints of the levers 8 or 9 with the plate 1 or with the foot 10.

A la figure 4 on a représenté partiellement la face interne du mât 3 de la table de la figure 3. Aux lieu et place des fentes 4 et 5 traversant de part en part le mât 3 tel que représenté aux figure 1 et 2, la face interne de ce mât est creusée de deux lamages verticaux 34 et 35. A chacune de ses extrémités, le fond de chaque lamage comporte un orifice borgne 36, 37, 38, 39 et un logement 40, 41, 42, 43 limité par une paroi en pente 44, 45, 46, 47 en direction de l'orifice borgne auquel il est adjacent, et par une paroi abrupte 48, 49, 50, 51 à l'opposé de cet orifice. Cette face ainsi creusée est recouverte d'une plaque 52 pourvue de deux ouvertures 53, 54 moins larges que les lamages 34 et 35 sauf à leur partie médiane où ces ouvertures sont élargies en 55 et 56. Les lamages et la plaque définissent ainsi deux glissières de guidage qui jouent le rôle des fentes 4 et 5 des figures précédentes.In Figure 4 is partially shown the inner face of the mast 3 of the table of FIG. place and place of the slots 4 and 5 crossing from side to the mast 3 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the inner face of this mast is dug with two vertical countersinks 34 and 35. At each of its ends, the bottom of each countersink has a blind hole 36, 37, 38, 39 and a housing 40, 41, 42, 43 bounded by a wall slope 44, 45, 46, 47 towards the blind hole to which it is adjacent, and by a steep wall 48, 49, 50, 51 opposite this orifice. This face thus dug is covered with a plate 52 provided with two openings 53, 54 less wide than countersinks 34 and 35 except at their middle part where these openings are enlarged in 55 and 56. The countersinks and the plate thus define two guide rails that play the role of slots 4 and Of the preceding figures.

Comme représenté à la figure 6, chacune de ces ouvertures 53, 54 forme une glissière pour la tête 57a pourvue d'une gorge 58 d'un doigt 57 porté par un chant latéral tel que 1a du plateau 1. De manière connue, le chant latéral 1a du plateau 1 est en fait la surface extérieure d'un longeron situé sous la surface de jeu de ce plateau dans lequel le doigt 57 est introduit à force et derrière lequel il est bloqué par une clé C porteuse par exemple de crans coopérant à baïonnette avec le doigt 57. Le doigt 57 est creux, en forme de douille, à l'intérieur de laquelle est logé un pène 59 sollicité en direction du mât 3 par un ressort 60. Les élargissements 55 et 56 des ouvertures 53 et 54 permettent la mise en place de la tête à gorge 57a du doigt 57 dans les glissières. Sous l'effet du ressort 60, on comprend que le pène 59 est forcé en appui contre le fond du lamage correspondant 34, 35 et, en fonction de sa position, peut tomber dans les orifices borgnes 36, 37, 38, 39 formant gâche de verrouillage du plateau correspondant dans l'une de ses deux positions horizontale ou verticale par rapport au support, ainsi que dans les logements secondaires tels que 40 formant cran de sécurité conformément à l'invention. On comprend, au vu de la figure 6, que lorsque le pène 59 est dans le logement 40, une poursuite du mouvement du plateau 1 est possible pour atteindre l'état verrouillé, la pente 44 jouant le rôle de surface de came pour repousser le pène à l'intérieur de la douille 57, alors que, le pène 59 vient en butée contre la paroi abrupte 48 du logement 40 pour interdire au plateau 1 un mouvement inverse, donc pour interdire la réversibilité de la configuration de la structure déformable atteinte au voisinage de la gâche 36 ou de chacune des gâches décrites.As shown in Figure 6, each of these openings 53, 54 form a guide for the head 57 is provided with a groove 58 of a finger 57 carried by a lateral edge as 1a of the tray 1. In a known manner, the side edge 1a of the plate 1 is actually the outer surface of a beam below the playing surface of the tray in which the finger 57 is forcibly introduced and behind which it is blocked by a carrier e.g. C key notches cooperating with bayonet with the finger 57. The finger 57 is hollow, in the form of a sleeve, inside which is housed a bolt 59 biased towards the mast 3 by a spring 60. The enlargements 55 and 56 of the openings 53 and 54 allow the establishment of the grooved head 57 has the finger 57 in the slides. Under the effect of the spring 60, it is understood that the bolt 59 is forced in abutment against the bottom of the corresponding countersink 34, 35 and, depending on its position, can fall into the blind holes 36, 37, 38, 39 forming a latch locking of the corresponding plate in one of its two horizontal or vertical positions relative to the support, as well as in secondary housings such as 40 forming a safety catch in accordance with the invention. It is understood from FIG. 6 that when the bolt 59 is in the housing 40, a continuation of the movement of the plate 1 is possible to reach the locked state, the slope 44 acting as a cam surface to push back the inside the bushing 57, while the bolt 59 abuts against the steep wall 48 of the housing 40 to prevent the plate 1 from reversing, so as to prevent the reversibility of the configuration of the deformable structure attained at vicinity of the keeper 36 or each of the strikes described.

A la figure 6, on constate que le pène 59 est prolongé par une tige 61 qui s'étend sous le plateau 2 (voir figure 7) pour atteindre la partie médiane et ce au voisinage du bord 26 de ce plateau qui est voisin du filet lorsque la table est en position de jeu. Cette tige 61 constitue un organe de manoeuvre du pène 59 pour l'extraire des gâche et logement dans lesquels il peut être situé. Cette tige 61 est actionnée par une tige de traction 62 pourvue d'une poignée de manoeuvre 63 située au voisinage du bord 2c le plus éloigné du filet de chaque plateau. La coopération des tiges 61 et de la tige 62 s'effectue au moyen d'un boítier de renvoi représenté à la figure 8. Ce boítier 64 porte à rotation deux roues dentées 65 et 66 qui engrènent chacune avec deux crémaillères opposées 62a et 62b ménagées à l'extrémité de la tige 62 à l'opposé de la poignée 63. Chaque tige 61, de section polygonale pour éviter une possible rotation autour de son axe, est équipée à l'opposé du pène 59, également d'une crémaillère 67, 68. Cette crémaillère engrène avec l'une des roues 65, 66 et, pour ne pas interférer avec les crémaillères 62a, 62b, les roues 65 et 66 sont d'une épaisseur telle que le niveau d'engrènement des tiges 61 se situe dans un plan différent du niveau d'engrènement de la tige 62. La disposition relative des crémaillères est telle qu'un mouvement d'extraction de la tige 62 hors du boítier 64 provoque une rotation des roues 65 et 66 dans un sens qui entraíne la pénétration des tiges 61 à l'intérieur du boítier 64. Ainsi donc, en tirant sur la poignée 63 vers le chant extérieur de chaque plateau, on provoque la rentrée du pène 59 à l'intérieur du doigt 57 et le déverrouillage ou la neutralisation de la sécurité du plateau correspondant. Le boítier 64 est pourvu d'un couvercle 69 et de moyens 70 pour sa fixation au milieu de la traverse 71 de chaque plateau qui détermine le bord 1b ou 2b de celui-ci, sous la surface de jeu. La tige 62 est maintenue à coulissement soit dans des cavaliers 72 fixés sous la surface de jeu de chaque plateau, soit, comme partiellement représenté, dans un capot 73 qui recouvre la totalité de la tige 62. L'extrémité 73a de ce capot constitue un moyen de fixation du boítier 64 par son couvercle 69.In FIG. 6, it can be seen that the bolt 59 is extended by a rod 61 which extends under the plate 2 (see FIG. 7) to reach the median part and in the vicinity of the edge 26 of this plate which is close to the net when the table is in the play position. This rod 61 constitutes an actuating member of the bolt 59 to extract the striker and housing in which it can be located. This rod 61 is actuated by a pull rod 62 provided with an operating handle 63 located in the vicinity of the edge 2 c farthest from the net of each tray. The cooperation of pins 61 and the rod 62 is effected by means of a return unit shown in Figure 8. This housing 64 carries two wheels rotating gear 65 and 66 which engage each with two opposed racks 62 and 62 has b formed at the end of the rod 62 opposite the handle 63. Each rod 61, of polygonal section to prevent possible rotation about its axis, is equipped opposite the bolt 59, also a rack 67, 68. This rack engages with one of the wheels 65, 66 and so as not to interfere with the racks 62 a, 62 b, the wheels 65 and 66 are of a thickness such that the engagement level of rods 61 lies in a plane different from the engagement level of the rod 62. The relative arrangement of the racks is such that a movement of extraction of the rod 62 from the housing 64 causes a rotation of the wheels 65 and 66 in a meaning that leads to the penetration of rods 61 to the Inside the housing 64. Thus, by pulling the handle 63 towards the outer edge of each plate, it causes the retraction of the bolt 59 inside the finger 57 and the unlocking or neutralization of the security of the corresponding plate. The housing 64 is provided with a cover 69 and means 70 for its attachment in the middle of the crosspiece 71 of each plate which determines the edge 1b or 2b thereof, below the playing surface. The rod 62 is slidably held either in jumpers 72 fixed under the playing surface of each plate, or, as partially shown, in a cover 73 which covers the entire rod 62. The end 73 a of this cap constitutes a fastening means housing 64 by its lid 69.

L'avantage de ce capot réside dans la barrière qu'il constitue à l'accès de la tige 62 qui ne peut être alors manipulée que par la poignée 63 se trouvant, lorsque la table est repliée, hors de portée des enfants. On a ainsi réalisé une commande centralisée du déverrouillage et de la neutralisation de la sécurité pour chaque plateau facilitant les opérations de repliement et de dépliement de la table de tennis de table.The advantage of this hood lies in the barrier that it constitutes at the access of the rod 62 which can not be then handled only by the handle 63 lying, when the table is folded out of reach of children. We thus realized a centralized control of the unlocking and the neutralization of security for each tray facilitating the folding operations and unfolding of the table tennis table.
