Definitions
- the present invention relates to tables, and more particularly to folding tables.
- the present invention relates in particular to folding tables with two or more foldable side parts which form table legs in the unfolded position.
- Conventional folding tables usually have either a foldable table top to reduce the size of the table when not in use or to fold it against a wall to which the table is attached.
- folding tables are known from the travel and camping sector. Such folding tables are usually constructed with a foldable base frame and a roll-up table top from individual interconnected rods and can be packed into a small roll.
- Foldable garden tables are usually made of a more or less weather-resistant table top and individual table legs that can be attached to them by means of a bayonet or snap lock.
- Other embodiments of folding tables and benches are known from beer festivals, beer tents and beer gardens as beer table sets.
- Such beer tables use rectangular and strived metal construction as table legs. These table legs can be locked in a folded-in position by means of a latch construction attached to the table top and in a folded-out position by means of a strut.
- a table with foldable leg members has a table top frame, a table top and at least two leg elements.
- the leg elements are each pivotally fastened to the frame by means of swivel joints, so that the leg elements are moved from a transport position that is essentially parallel to the frame into a position that is parallel to the frame. Substantially vertical standing position can be pivoted.
- the table according to the invention is characterized by swivel bolts and wedges. At least one swivel bolt is attached to each of the leg elements. Wedges are slidably attached to the frame or the table top.
- each of the wedges is in engagement with one of the swivel bolts in the standing position in which the leg element is essentially perpendicular to the frame.
- the respective leg element is thereby secured in the standing position perpendicular to the frame.
- the main advantage of the present invention is that swivel bolts and wedges can be attached so that they are almost invisible from the outside.
- the fact that wedges are used to secure the leg elements in their position provides a locking concept which enables the leg elements to be securely and firmly secured in the extended position even when worn. If wear occurs, the play can be compensated by repositioning the wedges.
- the swivel bolts are made integrally as part of the swivel joint. This enables a particularly force and load-compatible structure to be created.
- the lock and the swivel lock can thus be combined in a very compact component. This means that adjustment and adjustment work can be dispensed with.
- swivel bolts can be screwed or welded to the leg elements.
- the wedges are preferably loaded by a spring.
- a spring preload ensures that the wedges automatically engage and remain in the swivel bolts. With small loads or when there is play in the joint or in the locking mechanism, the wedge can slide down due to the spring force and compensate for the play.
- Another advantage of spring-loaded wedges is that the wedges snap into place automatically when the leg elements are unfolded and therefore require less handling.
- the table is preferably characterized in that the wedges are operatively connected to an unlocking mechanism arranged on the frame.
- Unlocking mechanism brings a significant advantage.
- the table can be folded up quickly without the use of tools. This significantly reduces the time required to fold or dismantle the tables.
- the frame and / or the leg elements are preferably produced from metal profiles. With a conventional design, a simple square iron profile can be used. Other materials can include, for example, aluminum profiles and or stainless steel profiles.
- the leg elements preferably have an essentially U-shaped shape. These leg elements are then pivotally attached to the frame of the table with one of the legs of the U-shaped shape.
- the metal profiles of the leg elements and / or the frame can be reinforced at least at the points with blocks made of solid material, to which swivel bolts are attached. Such reinforcements are also possible on or at the swivel joints or at the points at which the legs are attached to the upper strut or base of the leg elements.
- At least one of the leg elements can preferably be adjusted in height at least at one point in order to prevent the table from wobbling due to uneven ground.
- the table can also have several adjustable support elements so that the table can also be set up horizontally in the event of an uneven surface.
- the table is preferably provided with devices which make it possible to couple or connect the table to other similar tables. These facilities can be found on the Frame, the table top or the leg elements attached.
- the devices can be designed as clips, folding screws, bayonet locks, screw connections, bolts, hooks or eyelets.
- the connecting devices can be integrated into the tables.
- the connecting devices can be designed in such a way that they block an existing unlocking mechanism. Interconnectable folding tables are not known in the prior art.
- the table is preferably characterized in that the frame and the table top have at least one curved edge. That is, the table can be configured as a segment of a circular ring, a disk sector, an ovaloid sector, an ovaloid ring sector or the like. Other, any geometric shapes can also be realized with a folding table according to the present invention.
- the table preferably has a lock in order to secure the leg elements in the transposition essentially parallel to the frame. This can reduce the risk of injury and
- Another possibility is to provide magnets and / or ferromagnetic material which are incorporated into the frame and which allow the legs to adhere to the frame.
- the table is preferably characterized in that the wedges pretension and / or wedge the swivel bolts in the transport position. This provides a transport lock with the same parts.
- the table is preferably characterized in that the swivel bolts have a contact surface on an area facing the wedges in the standing position, which is adapted to the assigned contact surface of the wedges. This enables a clearly defined angular standing position that does not allow any play.
- the contact surfaces are preferably surface hardened.
- the contact surface of the wedges is preferably inclined by 10 to 30 degrees with respect to their direction of displacement.
- Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a conventional table for use in multi-purpose rooms.
- FIG. 2A shows an embodiment of a folded table according to the invention in a perspective view.
- Figures 2B and 2B depict simplified enlarged sectional views along the front left edge of the folding table with the leg element extended.
- FIG. 2C shows a simplified enlarged sectional view along the front left edge of the folding table with the leg element folded in.
- FIG. 2D shows an embodiment of a folding table according to the invention with the leg elements folded in in a perspective view.
- Figure 3 shows an embodiment of a folding table according to the invention in an embodiment with increased legroom.
- Figure 4 shows an embodiment of a folding table according to the invention in an embodiment with a continuous table top.
- FIG. 5A shows an enlarged sectional view along the front left edge of the folding table with the lock and a mechanism for unlocking the leg element with the leg element extended.
- FIG. 5B shows an external view of the detail from FIG. 5A.
- Figure 6 shows a top view of various embodiments of tables with different table tops or frame shapes that can be used in accordance with the present invention.
- Figure 1 represents a conventional table for use in multi-purpose rooms
- Table 2 is also welded together with a frame 4 made of square tube and legs 6 from a square tube at the seams 5.
- the frame made up of legs 6 and frame 4 or table top frame is rigid and cannot be folded together.
- Such conventional tables can be used in multipurpose rooms in meeting rooms in canteens and offices.
- Conventional multi-purpose tables can be easily and quickly and, due to their relatively low complexity, also completely automated and therefore inexpensively manufactured.
- FIG. 2A shows an embodiment of a folding table according to the invention in a perspective view.
- the folding table shown has, like the conventional multi-purpose table, a table top 8 and a table top frame 4 on which the table top 8 is firmly attached.
- Two leg elements 12 are pivotally attached to the frame 4.
- the swivel joints are not visible. From the outside, there are no clearly visible differences to a conventional table of the prior art, which reveal that the present table can be folded.
- One difference is that the leg elements 12 form a single part and are visible in the top view.
- the upper leg of the leg elements 12 is made more stable and the frame 4 has small roundings in the area 10. The fleeting viewer does not realize that the table can simply be folded up.
- FIG. 2B shows a simplified enlarged sectional view along the line A-A at the front left edge of the folding table of FIG. 2A.
- the table top 8 can be seen in section, which is fastened to the table top frame 4.
- a wedge 22 is slidably arranged parallel to the table top 8.
- the wedge 22 or 22 ' is loaded by a spring 24 and is thereby pressed in the direction of the leg element 12.
- the spring 24 is supported on a stop attached to the table top and or the frame 4.
- the parts 4, 8 and 22 or 22 'to 26 are assigned to the table and are not affected by a pivoting or folding movement of the leg element 12.
- the pin 18 forms the axis about which the leg element 12 can be pivoted.
- the remaining parts 6 12 and 20 or 20 ' are assigned to the leg element 12 and move when the leg element 12 is folded in.
- the leg element 12 is rigidly connected to the legs 6.
- the upper leg of the leg element 12 is also rigidly connected to the swivel bar 20 or 20 '. All three parts are pivotally connected to the frame 4 via the axis or the bolt 18.
- the wedge 22 or 22 'of the table engages with the swivel bar 20 or 20' of the leg element 12, and is therefore in the shown unfolded position fixed.
- the leg element 12 cannot rotate clockwise about the axis 18 since the leg element 12 strikes the table top 8 and / or the frame 4.
- the leg element 12 cannot rotate counterclockwise about the axis 18 because the wedge 22 or 22 'is in engagement with the swivel bar 20 or 20'. Due to the wedge shape and the spring 24 shown, the wedge 22 or 22 'adjusts itself automatically in the event of small movements of the leg element 12 within the manufacturing tolerances and wedges the leg element 12 securely, rigidly, non-positively and positively with the frame 4. Therefore, the table set up absorbs almost the same forces as a non-folding, conventional table.
- the wedge 22 or 22 'can also be pressed in the direction of the leg element 12 by a screw.
- the wedge 22 or 22 'can also be designed as a rotary wedge.
- FIG. 2B represents essentially the same section of a folding table according to the invention as FIG. 2B.
- the table top 8 can be seen in section, which is fastened to the table top frame 4.
- a wedge 22 ' is slidably arranged parallel to the table top 8.
- the wedge 22 ' is loaded by a spring 24 and is thereby pressed towards the leg element 12.
- the spring 24 is supported on a stop attached to the table top and or the frame 4.
- the parts 4, 8 and 22 ′ to 26 are assigned to the table and are not affected by a pivoting or folding movement of the leg element 12.
- the pin 18 forms the axis about which the leg element 12 can be pivoted.
- the remaining parts 6 12 and 20 ' are assigned to the leg element 12 and move when the leg element 12 is folded in.
- the leg element 12 is rigidly connected to the legs 6.
- the upper leg of the leg element 12 is also rigidly connected to the swivel bar 20 '. All three parts are pivotally connected to the frame 4 via the axis or the bolt 18.
- the wedge 22 'of the table engages with the swivel bar 20' of the leg element 12 and is therefore fixed in the unfolded position shown.
- the leg element 12 cannot rotate about the axis 18 either clockwise or counterclockwise, since the leg element 12 engages the wedge 22 'with the swivel bar 20'.
- leg element 12 Movements of the leg element 12 automatically and within the manufacturing tolerances
- the leg element 12 wedges the frame 4 securely, rigidly, non-positively and form-fittingly.
- the table that is set up can therefore absorb almost the same forces as a non-folding, conventional table.
- the pivot bolt 20 'shown in this embodiment additionally has the advantage that the stability of the locking can be increased by the relatively long contact surfaces 21' between the pivot bolt 20 'and the wedge 22'.
- This construction also has the advantage that the leg element is always aligned perpendicular to the table top, which would not necessarily be ensured in the event of a stop on the frame or the table top.
- the illustrated swivel bolt 20 ' has two contact surfaces 21' for the wedge 22 'in comparison to the swivel bolt of FIG. 2B. Because the two contact surfaces 21 'are essentially perpendicular to one another, the leg element 12 can also be locked securely in the transport position and thus cannot accidentally fold out during transport. In the transport position, the parts 6 12 and 20 'are each pivoted (similarly as in FIG. 2C) about the axis 18 by essentially 90 °. Possible reinforcements are not shown in Figure 2B '.
- FIG. 2C essentially shows the same sectional view as FIG. 2B, but with the leg element 12 folded in.
- the wedge 22 or 22 ' must be withdrawn counter to the spring force and the pivot bolt 20 or 20' release.
- the pivot bolt 20 or 20' with the leg element 12 can be freely rotated about the axis 18 until the leg 6 rests essentially parallel to the frame 4.
- the wedge 22 or 22 ' can be released again and the wedge 22 or 22' can move in the direction of the spring 24 until it hits the swivel bar 20 or 20 'or another stop.
- the applied leg element 12 can simply be opened clockwise in the direction of the arrow. When it is opened, the swivel bolt 20 or 20 'first pushes the wedge 22 or 22' to the right against the spring action, until it can snap into the swivel bolt again until the wedge 22 or 22 'according to FIG. 2B.
- FIGS. 2B and 2C it was intentionally dispensed with to explicitly show smaller elements such as guides or sliders in order to better express the essence of the invention.
- FIG. 2D finally shows the table of FIGS. 2A to 2C with the leg elements 12 folded in in a perspective view.
- the legs 6 of FIG Leg elements 12 essentially rest against frame 4 at the bottom.
- the table can be provided at points 50 with a holding device integrated in the frame or fastened to the table top, which cooperates with a corresponding counterpart 52 on the table leg and prevents the leg elements 12 from being able to fold out automatically. This can be done, for example, by means of appropriately arranged magnets or folding clips.
- FIG. 3 shows an embodiment of a folding table according to the invention in an embodiment with increased legroom.
- the leg elements 12 are designed as essentially C-shaped.
- the leg elements 12 are, however, attached to the frame 4 on one of the end legs. Due to the geometry shown, the legs have to be made stronger to ensure sufficient stability. This can be achieved, for example, by using firmer materials, by increasing the dimensions or by increasing the wall thickness of the leg elements 12.
- An advantage of the illustrated embodiment is that such a table can also be designed as an office table due to the increased legroom. This means that even office furnishings can be easily stored and transported if an office is temporarily not needed without the significant transport or storage costs.
- leg elements 12 shown is not limited to the shape shown and can of course also be N, M, O or Z-shaped, for example.
- the leg elements 12 can even be made flat. They can even be designed as an advertising space, a company or sponsor logo.
- FIG. 4 shows an embodiment of a folding table according to the invention in an embodiment with a continuous tabletop.
- This embodiment is kept particularly simple.
- the upper leg of the leg elements 12 is kept particularly thin in order to fit under the table top 8.
- This embodiment of the folding table according to the invention thus has a particularly simple shape and at the same time can be folded up very small and easily transported. The only indication of the foldability of the leg elements is given by the rounding 10.
- FIG. 5A shows an enlarged sectional view along the front left edge of the folding table with the wedge lock and a mechanism for unlocking the leg element with the leg element extended.
- the shape and function of the parts 6, 8, 12, 18, 20 and 20 ', 22 or 22 'and 24 is analogous to Figures 2B and 2C, and is therefore not explicitly described again.
- the longitudinal bars of the frame 4 are connected to one another with sliding plates or a flat cross strut 4, on which the wedge 22 or 22 'can slide in the direction of the table top 8 and is supported.
- the wedge is guided in the other direction by a guide or a housing 26.
- the wedge 22 or 22 ' is further provided with a tie rod or a pull rod 36, on which the wedge 22 or 22' can be retracted by moving the unlocking bracket 30 about the axis 34.
- a pull on the release bracket 30 disengages the wedge with respect to the pivot latch 22 or 22 'and the leg element 12 can be folded in.
- a plurality of unlocking brackets 30 can be connected to one another by means of a handle bar 32 so that a plurality of swivel bolts 22 or 22' can be unlocked simultaneously.
- pivot bolts 20 or 20 'and the wedges 22 or 22' enables a functional and inconspicuous folding mechanism to be achieved even in tables with a relatively narrow frame.
- the wedge 22 or 22 'and the swivel bar 20 or 20' can be comb-shaped, the axis 18 extending in the manner of a piano hinge between the parts of the swivel bar and the housing 26.
- the housing 26 can be extended above and below the plane of the drawing up to the axis 18 in order to thereby form the pivot joint with the axis and the pivot bar 20 or 20 'and to provide the wedge 22 or 22' with lateral guidance.
- the housing 26 can also be fastened or screwed to the cross strut 4, the frame 4 or the table top.
- the housing 26 can also be extended in the direction of the unlocking bracket 30 in order to provide an abutment for the axis 34 of the unlocking bracket.
- FIG. 5B shows an external view of the detail from FIG. 5A.
- the leg element 12 shown is shown with solid lines and the leg element in the applied position is shown in broken lines.
- the swivel bolt (dashed) can be seen from the outside.
- the fillet 10 can be clearly recognized on the frame 4.
- the fillet 10 can also be replaced by a corresponding recess on the leg element 12.
- Figure 6 shows a top view of different embodiments of tables with different Tabletop or frame shapes that can be used in accordance with the present invention.
- the tables 40, 42, 44, 45, 46 are shown in any combination from above, the leg elements being shown as dashed c-shaped or u-shaped structures, which are arranged such that the cross leg of the table top is pivotally attached.
- the tables 4 each represent normal rectangular tables, the leg elements being attached to the narrow sides of the tables.
- the tables 42 represent tables in the form of ring segments. In this example, the ring segments are selected such that the narrow sides are inclined at 45 ° to one another, so that 8 such tables 42 result in a whole ring-shaped table, for example for meetings.
- the table with the reference numeral 44 represents a table whose two sides are not the same width.
- the leg element on the right side is significantly wider than that on the left side.
- the longitudinal edges are also not parallel.
- the table with the reference numeral 46 has leg elements 12 arranged in parallel and of the same width, but the shape of the table top and the frame is limited only by the space required for the locking and unlocking devices.
- the table with the reference numeral 45 represents an ovaloid segment table, in which the two leg elements 48 are arranged at right angles to one another. Depending on the external shape, 4 such tables 45 can be put together to form an oval table or a circular table.
