Description

Field of Technology

The engineering solution refers to the multifunctional table for children as the medical device, which provides children with a maximum of comfort while sitting at the table.

Current State of Technology

At present, there are a few kinds or types of sitting chairs and aids for children on the market. As a rule, they have been produced in the form of a special purpose facility for the child to, for instance, only eat or sit and play or write. They have been made of wood, plastic or their combination. The children's folding chair has been the most widely known, on which the child can sit at the high table, or when folded, the child sits at its own low table.

The principle of invention

The multifunctional table has been designed so as to meet the needs of either the handicapped or healthy child, to provide a maximum of comfort and, in particular, the safety, i.e. preventing the child from fall of the chair and make him feel safe. The side rests along with the strips are designed to fasten the child while sitting.
The chair allows the child to exercise the activities as follows:

eat;
implement hygiene (wash, wash his/her teeth, comb, or use the mirror as an accessory);
write (hand write, using a notebook);
draw (the pen and pencil stand);
use the chalk when writing on a blackboard;
exercise using the wall bars;
exercise in a horizontal position (mattress).

The purpose of the multifunctional table development is to make a child exercise the activities by itself, thereby allowing their mothers to exercise their activities, knowing that their child has been safe while exercising its own activities.
The multifunctional table rectangular base has been equipped with the key on the longer sides. The base forms the multifunctional table bottom (900 x 465 x 65 mm), which prevents the chair from back and forward movement (horizontal traverse). The wall bars have been screwed on its front, whereby the base balances the wall bars and prevents the table from turnover.
The wall bars (1210 x 465 x 200 mm) form the table front and include the two sidewalls, five partition walls and the bottom plate. The screws and ⌀ 8 mm pins fix the wall bars to the sidewalls and bottom plate. The wall bars fix and set the board horizontally and vertically. The longitudinal groove has been milled out in the sidewalls to move the board. The short F-shape groove has also been milled out in the sidewalls for the rest to move. The rest supports the board and serves as a desk (worktop) when pushed out to the horizontal position. The short F-shape groove allows the table to set to three positions (worktop). Number five of the partition walls connected with the sidewalls form the small wall bars used for body exercise. The bottom plate of the wall bars serves as the fastener, using the screws to adapt to the base. The 420 x 382 mm table forms the moving part in the wall bars. It consists of the two profiled components and the worktop. The profiled components have been pasted to the worktop, thereby form a unit. The ⌀ 10 mm pins have been mortised in the profiled components. The pins guide the wall bars in the longitudinal groove. The worktop serves as a table from one side and the board from the other side in the vertical position.
The 265 x 285 x 48 mm slider forms the auxiliary element which allows the chair to move forwards and backwards in the groove (horizontal traverse) while the side grooves allow the chair to lift (vertical traverse). The slider has been equipped with the lower groove with the side grooves perpendicular to it.
The 680 x 300 x 430 mm chair frame consists of the two sidewalls connected with the partition walls, upholstered chair back and seat and the two swing side rests.
The chair sidewalls have been connected to the partition walls using the attachment screws and ⌀ 8 mm pins, thus making a single unit. The upholstered back and seat of the chair have been screwed to the chair frame, which make comfortable sitting. The side swing rests (5d) have been fitted on the chair sidewalls, which prevent the child from fall of the chair. The rests can also be lifted to make climbing on the chair easier. The chair slides in the side grooves from the top allowing the chair to move or lift, as necessary.

Description of Drawings

Figure 1 shows the multifunctional table general view. Figure 1.1: The base - with the wall bars screwed on the front forms the board bottom, which allows the chair to move horizontally. Figure 1.2: The wall bars - form the board front and allow both the horizontal and vertical travel of the board. Figure 1.3: The board - form the moving part of the wall bars and serves as a board from one side and the worktop from the other side. Figure 1.4: The auxiliary element which allows the chair to move both in the horizontal and vertical direction. Figure 1.5: The char. Figure 2 shows the side wall bars and the longitudinal groove marked with black colour, which allow the table to move both in vertical and horizontal direction. The short F-shape groove allows the table to set to the pre-defined positions.

Examples

The base (1) forms the multifunctional table bottom (900 x 465 x 65 mm) allowing the chair to set both forwards and backwards (horizontal traverse). The wall bars (2.1) have been screwed to the base (1), whereby the base (1) balances the wall bars (2.1) and prevents the multifunctional table from turnover. The multifunctional table rectangular base (1) has been equipped with the key (1a) on the longer sides.
The wall bars (2.1) (1210 x 465 x 200 mm) form the table front and include the two sidewalls (2), five partition walls (2c) and the bottom plate (2d). The screws and ⌀ 8 mm pins fix the sidewalls (2) to the partition walls (2c) and bottom plate (2d). The wall bars (2.1) fix and set the board (3) horizontally and vertically. The longitudinal groove (2a) has been milled out in the sidewalls to move the board. The short F-shape groove (2a) has also been milled out in the sidewalls to allow the movement. The rest supports the board (3) when pushed out to the horizontal position, which moves in the short F-shaped groove (2b) milled out in the sidewalls (2) and it also serves as the table (worktop).
Each of the short F-shaped grooves (2b) allows the table to set to three positions (worktop). Number five of the partition walls (2c) connected with the sidewalls (2) form small wall bars (2.1) used for body exercise. The bottom plate (2d) of the wall bars (2.1) serves as the fastener, using the screws to adapt to the base (1).
The 420 x 382 mm table (3) forms the moving part in the wall bars (2.1). It consists of the two profiled components (3a) and the worktop (3.1). The profiled components (3a) have been pasted to the worktop (3.1), thereby form a unit. The ⌀ 10 mm pins (3b) have been mortised in the profiled components (3a). The pins (3b) guide the wall bars in the longitudinal groove (2a) of the sidewalls (2). The worktop (3.1) serves as a table from one side and the board (3) from the other side.
The 265 x 285 x 48 mm slider (4) forms the auxiliary element which allows the chair to move forwards and backwards in the lower groove (4a) (horizontal traverse) while the side grooves (4b) allow the chair to lift (vertical traverse). The slider (4) has been equipped with the lower groove (4a) with the side grooves (4b) perpendicular to it.
The 680 x 300 x 430 mm chair frame (5) consists of the two sidewalls (5a) connected with the partition walls (5c), upholstered chair back (5b) and seat (5c), including the two swing side rests (5d).
The chair sidewalls (5a) have been connected to the partition walls (5e) using the attachment screws and ⌀ 8 mm pins, thus making a single unit. The upholstered back (5b) and seat (5c) of the chair have been screwed to the chair frame (5), which makes comfortable sitting. The side swing rests (5d) have been fitted on the chair sidewalls (5a), which prevent the child from fall of the chair. The rests (5d) can also be lifted to make climbing on the chair easier. The chair frame (5) slides in the side grooves (4b) of the slider (4a) from the top allowing the chair to move or lift, as necessary.

Industrial Applicability

The multifunctional table for children consists of the base, wall bars allowing the board to move, which also serves as the table (worktop). The slider allows the chair to move both horizontally and vertically. The chair featuring the upholstered back and seat make comfortable sitting for the child. The sidewalls prevent the child from fall of the chair. The multifunctional table has been tailor made for either handicapped or healthy child and meets all the child's needs. The multifunctional table can be used for 3 - 12 years old children.
