Definitions

  • This invention relates to an extensible table with an improved extension mechanism.
  • US 2,456,835 A refers to refectory tables and more particularly to a slide mechanism whereby one or more leaves of a refectory table may be pulled out from beneath a main table top or panel and positioned to form an extension of the same.
  • a primary objective of the present invention is to provide an extensible table with a stationary center top panel portion.
  • Another objective of the present invention is to provide a user-friendly extension mechanism for a table that requires minimal use input.
  • the present invention is an extensible table that has a stationary top panel fixed to a main frame.
  • a pair of slidable frames can be pulled away from the center of the table in a longitudinal direction and independently of each other.
  • an extension leaf stored below the top panel slides out.
  • the direction of motion of the slidable frame is reversed so that it moves towards the center of the table. This then causes the extension leaf to rise up to the same height as the top panel so that it sits flush with the top panel and a continuous table-top surface is formed.
  • the magnitude of extension from its initial length is equal to the length of the extension leaf.
  • each slidable frame is again pulled away from the center of the table, towing the extension leaf along with it.
  • a guide rail located on the underside of the extension leaf drops it back to its initial height.
  • the slidable frame is then pushed inwards again, so the extension leaf slides underneath the top panel.
  • the extension mechanism comprises: a main frame having a stationary top panel, a lower frame providing support on a ground surface, and a pair of longitudinal side bars running along two opposing sides of main frame and located a distance below top panel; a sliding frame longitudinally slidable in relation to main frame having a pair of longitudinal side members and a cross member joining each of the side members at an outer end; an extension leaf with a pair of guide rails fixed to an underside, being able to move from an initial position whereby the extension leaf is stored underneath the stationary top panel, to an extended position whereby the extension leaf is located flush alongside the top panel thus creating a continuous table-top surface, and back to the initial position; a means of moving the extension leaf from the initial position to the extended position; and a means of moving the extension leaf from the extended position back to the initial position.
  • FIG. 1 to 4 an extensible table in an embodiment of the present invention is shown.
  • a sliding frame (50) is pulled from an initial position in an outwards direction.
  • a pair of guide pins (56) located on each of a pair of side members (52) fixed to two opposing sides of the sliding frame (50) engage a pair of guide rails (42) fixed to an extension leaf (40) thus pulling the extension leaf (40) outwards to a point whereby the extension leaf (40) is clear of the top panel (30) and a rotating pushing block (60).
  • the motion of the sliding frame (50) is then reversed by pushing it inwards toward the top panel (30), thus causing the extension leaf (40) to move inwards as well, until the extension leaf (40) comes into contact with the pushing block (60) which deflects the inward motion of the extension leaf (40) and causes the extension leaf (40) to rise upwards to a height substantially equal that of the top panel (30).
  • the inward motion of the extension leaf (40) is thus halted by the top panel (30).
  • the attached guide pins (56) slide along towards an inner end of the guide rails (42), said guide rails being inclined so that as the guide pins (56) are positioned at said inner end of guide rails (42) the guide pins (56) provide support for the extension leaf (40) at an elevated height substantially equal that of the top panel (30).
  • the inwards motion of a cross member (54) located perpendicular to and joining the ends of the two side members (52) is halted by the extension leaf (40) and such that a top surface of the cross member (54) is flush with a top surface of the extension leaf (40) and a top surface of the top panel (30) thus forming a continuous table top surface in this extended state of the extensible table.
  • the sliding frame (50) continues to move inwards until the inwards motion of the cross member (54) is halted by the top panel (30) and such that the top surface of the cross member (54) is flush with the top surface of the top panel (30) thus forming a continuous table top surface in this contracted state of the extensible table.
  • the extension mechanism described here is for the extension of one side of the extensible table. In one embodiment of the present invention, there are two extension mechanisms located at opposing sides of the extensible table.
  • extension mechanism may be used on any or all sides of the extensible table in any configuration.

Claims (3)

  1. Table à rallonge comprenant :
    un châssis principal (10) ayant un panneau supérieur fixe (30), le châssis principal (10) fournissant le support sur une surface de sol ;
    un châssis coulissant (50) pouvant coulisser longitudinalement par rapport au châssis principal (10) ; et
    une rallonge (40) pouvant se déplacer d'une manière réversible et à volonté à partir d'un état initial dans lequel la rallonge (40) est rangée au-dessous du panneau supérieur fixe (30), jusqu'à un état étendu dans lequel la rallonge (40) est positionnée de niveau le long du panneau supérieur (30) créant une surface supérieure de table continue, dans laquelle la rallonge (40) est :
    (a) mobile à partir d'un état initial jusqu'à un état étendu, en ce que :
    a) le châssis coulissant (50) peut être tiré dans une direction vers l'extérieur de sorte qu'au moins une broche de guidage (56) positionnée sur un élément latéral (52), avec deux éléments latéraux (52) positionnés longitudinalement sur les extrémités opposées du châssis coulissant (50), met en prise au moins un rail de guidage (42) fixé sur la rallonge (40) de sorte que la rallonge (40) coulisse vers l'extérieur jusqu'à un point, moyennant quoi la rallonge est entièrement dégagée du panneau supérieur (30) et d'un bloc de poussée rotatif (60) ;
    b) le châssis coulissant (50) peut être poussé vers l'intérieur jusqu'à ce que la rallonge (40) vienne en contact avec le bloc de poussée (60), le bloc de poussée (60) est adapté pour dévier le mouvement vers l'intérieur de la rallonge (40) de sorte qu'elle remonte jusqu'à une hauteur sensiblement égale à celle du panneau supérieur (30), de sorte que le mouvement vers l'intérieur de la rallonge (40) est arrêté par le panneau supérieur (30), et la au moins une broche de guidage (56) peut coulisser le long de et vers une extrémité interne de chacun du au moins un rail de guidage (42), le rail de guidage ayant une inclinaison de sorte que le positionnement de la broche de guidage (56) au niveau de ladite extrémité interne du rail de guidage (42) fournit le support pour la rallonge (40) à cette hauteur élevée ; et
