Abstract
Description
- Figure 1 is a side view of a rectangular extensible table according to the present invention, in which a first extension is shown when retracted state and a second extension is shown when pulled out;
- Figure 2 is a top, partially see-through view of solely a half (for reasons of greater simplicity) of the same table in the extracted-extension configuration thereof;
- Figure 3 is a sectional view on an enlarged scale along the line A-A of Figure 1, showing the linking means between the fixed central worktop of the table and an extension thereof, when the latter is retracted;
- Figure 4 is a sectional view similar to the one appearing in Figure 3, however along the line B-B of Figure 1 and showing said linking means when the extension is when the extension is pulled out;
- Figure 5 is an exploded view of alternative means for linking a fixed worktop made with a relatively thick crystal pane with an extension of the same type;
- Figure 6 is a schematic top view of another embodiment of the invention.
- a first
rigid plate 21 attached to the worktop 10 (using traditional means that are not shown in the Figures, such as for example dowel-pins distributed along the perimeter thereof, or the like) in such a manner as to lie flush with, ie. on the same level as theinclined section plane 13, with the exception of a threadedstud 22 that is welded at the centre of the same plate in such a manner as to protrude downwards along an axis Z that is perpendicular to theplane 13. Arecess 35, which is provided in the thickness of theextension 30 starting from thesurface 33 thereof, accommodates thestud 22; - a second
rigid plate 23 that is similar to said firstrigid plate 21 and is attached to theextension 30 in such a manner as to lie flush with, ie. on the same level as theinclined section plane 32, with the exception of acylindrical bushing 24 that is welded at the centre of thesame plate 23 so as to in turn protrude downwards into saidrecess 35, thereby being capable to accommodate in its interior said threadedstud 22, which it is coaxial with; - a
third plate 25, made of an antifriction material such as PTFE, or polytetrafluoroethylene, and featuring a minimum thickness, which is perforated centrally and is arranged between the adjacent surfaces of therigid plates stud 22 until it is brought into abutment against the end portion of the bushing 24 (which is therefore provided with correspondingly appropriate inside diameter, outside diameter and length).
- a
cylindrical metal bushing 100 delimited between theends wing 102, where three threadedholes 103, arranged in a triangular layout, are provided, is attached to the bushing so as to protrude therefrom. A pair ofaxial grooves 104, 106 which have a semicircular cross-section and are spaced 180° from one another, are internally provided in thebushing 110. A round groove which also has a semicircular cross-section - such as the one shown in Figure 5 under reference numeral 108 - is provided at each of the saidends - a
first round disc 110 consisting of a firstflat portion 112 and asecond portion 114 of a smaller diameter in which are provided four axial threadedholes 116 and atransversal groove 118 of a semicircular cross-section. An annular channel 119 of a semicircular cross-section is provided onto theface 113 of said firstflat portion 112 looking at saidsecond portion 114 of thedisc 110; - a
second round disc 120 having a lowerflat base 122 and an upper base which consists of a firstflat portion 124 and a second slopingportion 126. Even if not shown in the enclosed drawing, on theflat base 122 there are : four axial threaded blind holes identical to theholes 116, a transversal groove of a semicircular cross-section identical to thetransversal groove 118 and an annular channel of a semicircular cross-section identical to the channel 119 of thefirst disc 110; - a third round and
flat disc 130 having a smoothupper base 132 and a lower base provided with three threaded holes (not visible) matching with theholes 103 provided onto thewing 102 of thebushing 100; - a
spring 140 biasing a couple ofpegs 142, 144 having round heads which match with the above mentionedaxial grooves 104, 106 in thebushing 100 so as to be retained by the latter and partially retained in thegroove 118 of thefirst disc 110.
- the operations required to extract and retract the extensions can be carried out without difficulty whatsoever. Even when the extensions are relatively heavy, being made with glass panes, this result is achieved with a proper design of the said pegs and of their biasing spring and with the use of antifriction parts in the linking means;
- no need arises for a large free space to be available around the table during such extraction and retraction operations;
- the inclined section planes of the fixed worktop offer a good stability to the associated extension when the latter is extracted, so that the extension itself proves to be adequately firm and rigid;
- the retracted extensions are of no practical nuisance or inconvenience to the people sitting around the table;
- even the legs of the table are arranged in such a manner as to be of as low an inconvenience as possible to the people sitting therearound, regardless of the extensions being retracted or extracted.
Claims (10)
- Table comprising a fixed worktop (10; 150) under which there are attached the support legs, at least one extractable extension (30; 154) and linking means (20; 200) between said fixed worktop and said extension, characterized in that the fixed worktop (10; 150) and the extension (30; 154) have mutually facing section planes (13, 32) that are parallel to each other and inclined with respect to the surfaces (11, 14; 33, 34) thereof and in that the linking means (20; 200) comprise interacting parts (22, 24; 120, 130) which are adapted to allow for a 180° rotation about an axis (Z) orthogonal to said inclined section planes (13, 32) of the extension (30; 154) with respect to the fixed worktop (10; 150), the said rotation being the sole and only operation required for bringing the extension from its retracted configuration to its extracted configuration, and viceversa.
- Table according to claim 1, characterized in that members of the linking means (20) are mounted on the inclined section planes (13, 32) and consist of a first and a second rigid plate (21, 23) between which there is retained a further member (25) made of an antifriction material such as PTFE, or polytetrafluoroethylene.
- Table according to claim 1 or 2, characterized in that the interacting parts of the linking means (20), which are accommodated in a recess provided in the extension (30) starting from the surface (33) thereof that is not exposed to view, consist of a threaded stud (22) and a bushing (24), respectively, and are adapted to be retained to each other by means of a nut (26).
- Table according to claim 1, characterized in that the said linking means (200) comprise:a bushing (100) which is adapted to have a rotational movement about its longitudinal axis with respect to a pair of coaxial discs (110, 120) which are secured to one another and slidably mounted at the ends (105, 107) of the bushing, one of the said discs (120) having portions of its outer surface (124, 126) firmly attached to the bottom surface and to the adjacent inclined section plane of the fixed worktop, anda third disc (150) which is secured to a rigid sloping wing (102) which protrudes from the said bushing (100) and has a surface (132) firmly attached to the bottom surface of the corresponding extension (154).
- Table according to claim 4, characterized in that elastic means (140) are supported in the said bushing (100) and so as to be selectively retained also by a transversal groove provided on the opposite flat face of the disc (120) which is attached to the bottom surface and to the inclined section plane of the fixed worktop (150) to provide the stability of the extension (154) with respect to the fixed worktop in the extracted as well as in the retracted configuration.
- Table according to any of the preceding claims, characterized in that the body (40) of each leg is attached - in such a manner as to extend along an axis (Y) that is inclined with respect to the floor (S) - to a rigid support (41) in the shape of substantially a "V", more precisely to the free end (44) of the lower arm (43) of the said rigid support (41) that forms with the upper arm thereof (42) an angle (β) which is substantially twice the angle (α) of inclination of said axis of rotation (Z).
- Table according to claim 6, characterized in that the upper arm (42) of the said rigid support (41) is arranged along a plane (X) intercepting the longitudinal mid plane (P) of the table and is attached to the lower surface (14) of the fixed worktop (10).
