Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a folding table with a central part with a central table top with at least three sides, at least three lateral table tops, one hingedly connected to one side of the central table top and from a folding position approximately perpendicular to the central table top in a position of use in a plane can be pivoted to the central table top, and at least one table leg for each side table top, which is hinged to the table top and from a folding position parallel to the table top in a position of use about perpendicular to the table top is pivoted.
  • Such folding tables are characterized by the fact that they can be transported well in the folded state and occupy little space.
  • the side table tops are opened.
  • the side table tops are folded down and together with the central part form a relatively compact unit, which can be transported well leaves.
  • Such tables are therefore preferably used for snacks, in marquees, on street parties, etc.
  • a table of the type described above is from the DE 198 32 932 C2 known.
  • the known table has a square or rectangular central part from which four lateral table tops extend.
  • the legs of the side table tops are shorter than the length of the side table tops.
  • the central part in this case has no table leg, so that the table rests in the folded state on the outer edges of the folded-down side table tops.
  • the table In the position of use, ie in the position in which the side table tops lie with the central table top in a plane, the table is supported only by the four legs of the four side table tops, ie the central table top is held exclusively by the side table tops, with which she is connected by hinges. This can cause problems in terms of the stability of the table when the table is heavily loaded in its middle part, since the legs of the side table tops are in their outer end regions.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide a table of the specified type, which is characterized both in the use state and in the folded state by a particularly good stability.
  • a folding table of the specified type in that the central part has at least one table leg that the legs for the lateral table tops are each connected via a connecting element with the side table tops, which is hinged in the free end of the table leg and in the central part facing the end of the side table top and approximately centrally has a joint for folding, and that the table leg on the central part, the table legs the side table tops and the side table tops are formed approximately the same length.
  • the present invention provides a functioning folding table which achieves the above object.
  • the table can be heavily loaded in the middle, without bending through or even collapse.
  • the stability of the inventively designed folding table is further improved by the special connecting element, which is associated with each side table top.
  • This connecting element forms an inclined support in the position of use of the table, wherein in the unfolded state, the table top, the associated table leg and the connecting element form a torsion-free stable triangle. In the unfolded state, the connecting element forms a straight line, which moves inward prevents the table leg of the side table top.
  • This connecting element works automatically when unfolding the table by its own weight and is locked in the final state.
  • the connecting element therefore stabilizes the table in the unfolded state of the lateral table top. This effect is particularly great because the connecting element extends over the entire area of the tabletop, d. H. from one end to the other end of the same (the associated table leg is located in the region of the free end of the side table top). Despite the achieved good stabilization, the connecting element can be handled well when folding the table and also fold in a simple manner.
  • the table leg on the central part, the table legs on the side table tops and the side table tops are approximately the same length. This means that the table in the folded state, ie in the state in which the side table tops are folded down, stands both on the table leg of the central part and on the end edges of the side table tops, so that a good stability is achieved even in the folded state of the table.
  • the table leg on the central part can not be made shorter than the length of the side table tops, as these would otherwise extend over the central table leg when folded down so that it no longer stands up on the floor.
  • the table legs on the side table tops must be about the same length as the table leg on the central part, since the table tops otherwise can not assume a horizontal position.
  • the at least one table leg of the lateral table top is preferably arranged in the region of its free end, so that the table top does not protrude at all or only slightly beyond the table leg in the unfolded position. Since the length of the table leg must substantially correspond to the side table top, relatively long table tops can be used in this way, which can have a length of 110 cm, for example, to adapt to standard table heights (standard heights). Also, the legs of the side table tops and the table leg of the central part are therefore formed about 110 cm long.
  • each side table top has two legs. These are hinged in the corners of the table top.
  • Each table leg can be provided with a connecting element.
  • the two table legs of a side table top in the lower area connected together so that they form a single entity. When folding, therefore, only one element must be folded inward.
  • the connecting element is formed by two diagonally crossing rods, which have a common central joint in the crossing region.
  • a rod goes out from a table leg.
  • the central part has at least one table leg.
  • the central part has several legs, each associated with a corner of the central part. This further improves the stability.
  • the legs of the central part can be connected to each other in particular in the lower part and form a unit. This further stabilizes the table.
  • the side table tops preferably have on their underside a cavity for receiving the folded table leg or the folded table legs and the folded connecting elements.
  • This cavity can for example come about by the fact that the table top has downwardly extending flanges at their sides.
  • the central table top is triangular and connected to three side table tops.
  • This embodiment has the advantage that there is sufficient space between the side table tops to use the table as a bar table, for example.
  • the inventively designed folding table can also have multi-sided table tops, for example, four, five or six, wherein the central table top is formed accordingly.
  • the folding table consists of a central part with a simultaneous triangle as a table surface, which is preferably formed three-legged to obtain a corresponding torsional rigidity, and three same side table tops, in the cavity on the bottom of the legs can be folded in full length. In this way, the least possible space is claimed in the folded state.
  • the table top width results from the side length of the equilateral triangle of the central table top.
  • the connection of the table tops is preferably made by paired hinges, which are at the greatest possible distance from each other in order to reduce the sum of joint play.
  • the connecting element between the table leg and the side table top is chosen as large as possible. By crossing this connecting element this is made very stiff. By the division of the connecting element this is folded when folding table leg and table top with and is finally parallel to the table top and table leg under the table top. When unfolding, the connecting element works by its own weight and is locked in the state of the largest opening, with both halves forming a straight line. All three side table tops are preferably attached with backlash-free joints on the central table top, so that thus results in a nearly rigid overall construction.
  • all table legs or only a part thereof have height adjustable foot parts to allow on non-level ground secure contact with the ground.
  • the plurality of table legs of the central part are connected to one another via one or more connecting frames.
  • one or more connecting frames Preferably, in this case two connection frames are arranged one above the other with a corresponding distance from each other.
  • the connecting elements or the connecting frame expediently has a cover at the top, so that objects can be arranged or stored thereon.
  • the lateral surfaces between superimposed connecting elements or connecting frames are provided with covers, which in particular consist of transparent material.
  • covers which in particular consist of transparent material.
  • the interior space between the side covers and the upper and lower cover also be lit. This results in a storage space for objects.
  • lower connecting elements or a lower connecting frame are provided, in or on which are rollers (castors). About these roles, the folding table can be transported in the folded state.
  • the central table top and the upper covers of the connecting elements or connecting frame if any, openings for receiving stems of sun / umbrellas or advertising media u. Like. Own.
  • a flexible connecting element is disposed between the underside of the lateral table tops and the lower connecting elements or the lower connecting frame of the central part.
  • a flexible connecting element is preferably fixed to the half of the corresponding lateral table top adjacent to the central part, ie closer to the central part than to the table leg of the lateral table top.
  • the flexible connecting element has the task to slightly raise the at least one table leg of the central part when unfolding the table, for example, about 3 mm, so that after opening the folding table, the at least one table leg of the central part no longer touches the ground, so that thereby a shaky Installation of the table or an extensive length adjustment of all table legs is avoided. When setting up the table this is centered by the at least one table leg of the Central part stabilized. Only shortly before the final unfolding of the side panels, the desired lifting effect occurs.
  • the flexible connecting element is designed such that it has two cable sections which have a common fastening point on the lower connecting element or connecting frame and two fastening points arranged at a distance from one another on the underside of the lateral tabletop.
  • the legs are provided with height-adjustable feet to compensate for unevenness of the soil can.
  • the central part is slightly raised, therefore, usually only the legs of the side parts to be adjusted in height.
  • the in FIG. 1 Folding table shown, for example, as a bar table for snacks etc. use. He is in the unfolded state, ie use state shown.
  • the folding table has a central part 1, which has a triangular table top 2 and three table legs 3, which are fixed in the corner regions of the table top at this.
  • the attachment can be done in any known manner, for example by screwing.
  • the three table legs 3 are connected to each other via connecting elements 4 in the lower region, so that there is a rigid unit.
  • the table top 2 and consisting of the three legs leg unit therefore forms a stable and torsion-resistant overall element.
  • each side table 2 has two legs 6 in the region of its free end, which are hinged to the underside of the table top 5.
  • the two table legs 6 are connected via a connecting element 7 in bottom area connected to each other, so that each results in a unit.
  • the unit consisting of the two legs 6 can be made of the in FIG. 1 shown use position in which the table legs 6 occupy a vertical position, fold in a position parallel to the table top 5 to the in FIG. 2 To reach shown transport position of the folding table. In this position, the folded legs are arranged parallel to the table top 5, and the table top 5 is folded down.
  • a connecting element 8 is provided, which in the position of use of FIG. 1 takes a tilt.
  • the connecting element 8 has two intersecting sections, which are connected at the intersection point 9 via a hinge.
  • the ends of the connecting rods are hingedly mounted in the lower region of each table leg 6 and in the end of the associated table top 5 facing the central table top 2.
  • the connecting element 8 is folded when folding the table legs 6, wherein the belonging to the table legs 6 half engages the legs 6, while the other half rests against the underside of the table top 5.
  • the side table tops 5 can unproblematically fold down together with the associated table legs 6 and the connecting element 8.
  • the length of the side table tops 5 corresponds approximately to the length of the associated table legs 6 and the length of the table legs 3 of the central part 1. In the folded state of the table this rests therefore on the three legs 3 of the central part 1 and the edges of the side table top fifth
  • a connecting element 10 is present in the upper region.
  • Such a connecting element in the upper region is also provided for connecting the three legs of the central part (in FIG. 1 not recognizable).
  • Another advantage of the present invention designed folding table over the prior art is the fact that the table not only in the fully unfolded state of all table tops and in the fully folded state of all table tops, but also in a state in which not all table tops are opened, has a very good stability. In other words, even if in the embodiment described here with three side table tops only one table top is opened, while the other two table tops folded down, the table has a good stability, since the central part has its own legs.
  • FIG. 3 shows a further embodiment of a folding table in the use state, ie unfolded state. Same parts as in the embodiment of FIG. 1 are provided with the same reference numerals. The following is only on the differences compared to the embodiment of FIG. 1 received.
  • the folding table on a central part 1 which has a triangular table top 2 and three legs 3, which are fixed in the corner regions of the table top at this.
  • the three table legs 3 are connected to each other in this embodiment via two connecting frames 11, of which a frame 11 is arranged at the lower end of the table legs 3, while another connecting frame 11 is in the upper region.
  • the connection frames 11 each have an upper cover 12, which can be used for the storage of objects, etc.
  • the side surfaces 13 between the two connection frame 11 may be covered by suitable covers, so that there is a closed storage space between the connection frame. These covers are in FIG. 3 Not shown.
  • rollers which serve to transport the folding table in the folded state.
  • each table leg 6 of the side table tops 5 is provided with height-adjustable feet 14.
  • a flexible connecting element 15 is arranged between the underside of the side table tops 5 and the lower connecting frame 11 of the central part 1, which is composed of two wire cable sections 16 having a common attachment point 17 on the lower connection frame 11 and two separate attachment points 18 at the bottom of own respective side table top 5.
  • the fastening points 18 on the underside of the respective lateral tabletop 5 are located on the half of the lateral tabletop 5 adjacent to the central tabletop 2.
  • the length of the flexible connecting element 15 is dimensioned such that when the lateral tabletops 5 are opened, the central part 1 is raised slightly (FIG. about 3 mm), so that after unfolding the table legs 3 of the central part no longer directly touch the ground.
  • a simpler and better adjustment of the table is achieved because the legs 3 of the central part does not have to be adjusted in height.
