DESCRIPTION

Revolving table on mast, parasol or umbrella.

Sector of the technique

It is known that in the beaches where there are hammocks service, in many occasions meals and drinks are given.

Currently consumption is made using low plastic tables or small round tables that are attached to the umbrella at a certain height. These are not comfortable for consumption from the hammock itself and also have a very small surface.

The present model solves this problem being ideal to give an even more versatile service in this area, be it for food, drinks, games, reading, etc. as it is a table that is fixed to the umbrella at the appropriate height for use from the hammock itself, it can also rotate around it 360 ° allowing it to be used in any position around the mast and therefore gives a more comfortable service . In addition, it can be used in vertical position as advertising claim.

State of the prior art

1. Patent ES10675391U discloses a table for umbrellas of the type comprising a substantially horizontal envelope provided with a hole, prolonged in a tubular configuration, for the passage of the sunshade mast and a tightening means for fixing of the table with respect to the mast.

Regarding the rotating table on mast, parasol or umbrella object of this invention presents several differences, the first of which is the type of umbrella to which the product is directed by the diameter of the clamping piece. The aforementioned background is intended to be used in umbrellas commonly used in homes or on the beach by private individuals, however, the mast referred to by our product has a diameter between 5 cm and 10 cm, and can be used in umbrellas of the type " Heather umbrellas "that we usually find in beaches, hotels and resorts.

Another difference lies in the type of fixation. The table of the patent ES1067539U is fastened to the mast by means of an adjustment screw that rests directly on the mast. If this screw is not tight enough, the entire system would have vertical mobility. That is, it does not allow the rotation itself without varying its height or greater, and does not allow the rotation while it is in use supporting any element. In our case, however, thanks to the fixing rings, we can achieve the blocking of that movement, preventing the table from moving or falling when it is rotating.

Finally, it should be noted that the design of the revolving table on mast, parasol or umbrella described here allows the position of the main board (1) to be modified, thereby fulfilling a double function, on the one hand, as a table (main function) and on the other hand , as advertising claim. In addition, by its configuration, it is stackable (figure 5) giving a better logistic service.

2. Patent ES2199627 describes an adaptable table for umbrellas, formed by a board, divided into two assembly halves, which carry the precise means to be coupled to a fastening element which, at the same time serves as a union and reinforcement of the Union of the boards, also allows the support to the stick of the umbrella, so that the extended and unfolded boards make up a table at the desired height.

Regarding the revolving table on mast, parasol or umbrella object of this invention we find the similarity of the function itself, since it is a table that adapts to an umbrella; however, it presents differences.

Mainly we can mention that the adaptable table for umbrellas of the patent ES2199627 is fixed to the mast and therefore does not allow the rotation around it or its adjustment in height. All this conditions, in addition, its form, which must be circular to serve the entire perimeter of the mast.

The advantages of the rotary table on mast, parasol or umbrella described in this document in front of the umbrella table of the patent ES2199627 are the versatility in terms of mobility (rotation and height adjustment), the versatility in terms of design, and the versatility in terms of position (vertical or horizontal) improving all this functionality and allowing to save space at all times by being stackable.

3. Patent US5865124A discloses an improved table accessory for lawn chairs and the like comprising a gripper foot having a pair of semi-cylindrical members that can be engaged by friction around a leg of a chair on which it is going to assemble the tabletop.

We cite this patent because of the similarity in that it is a table supported on a support on which it could turn, which, in turn, is attached to a mast that in this case is the leg of the chair.

Regarding the design described in this application, there are differences in the fact that our product is designed to be placed on a mast, parasol or umbrella, while the product described in patent US5865124A is designed to be adapted to a chair.

In relation to the functions, our design has much more versatility in terms of mobility (360 ° rotation with locking at any point and height adjustment), greater versatility in terms of design, and in terms of position, since it can adopt two positions (horizontal and vertical) improving all this functionality and allowing to save space at all times by being stackable.

4. Patent US6477966B1 discloses a modular rotating table held by a vertical support member having several easily removable tray segments. Each tray segment has a dependent clip that is received in a hub of a bearing to rotatably support the tray. The individual tray segments can be removed for filling and cleaning, and the different configuration segments can be used for different purposes. The trays can also be removed to serve out of the holder.

This patent is cited by the similarity with respect to the rotating table on mast, parasol or umbrella object of this invention in that it is a table that rotates around an umbrella.

The advantage of our product compared to the table described in the patent US6477966B1, lies mainly in the turning system, since the modular rotating table performs the rotation by means of a bearing that is fixed to the table and the tray, leaving a gap in its interior to put an umbrella, while the design object of this invention, makes the turn on a set fixed to the own mast. In addition, it has other advantages such as the economization of space, to include a single board, for being able to adopt a vertical position and for being stackable; and in the possibility of including an auxiliary element that allows its height adjustment.

Explanation of the invention

The revolving table on mast, parasol or umbrella object of this invention is of the type described in the preamble of the first claim and comprises:

1. A support formed by a tubular piece that in turn is the result of the union by welding a hollow tubular profile, a rod and a square that blocks the pivoting of the main board; that, embraced by two rings, is fixed by screws to a support mast that allows the 360 ° rotation of the board. In addition, it has a fixing screw on the back to block the rotation at any point.

2. A main board that is fixed to a structure, whose main body is two hollow tubular profiles at 90 ° with a slot at the end.

3. Two rings, which, as detailed in point 1 of this section, located at the ends of the tubular part allow the rotation thereof and the attachment of the assembly to the mast.

This rotating table on mast, parasol or umbrella has characteristics aimed at providing greater use surface to give a better service and obtain greater functionality, by enabling access to it from any point around the mast without the need to move the point of support for.

As an additional element, it has a system that allows height regulation of it (Figure 4).

Finally, its configuration allows the board to adopt two positions, horizontal and vertical (figure 7), and to be removable and stackable, thus contributing to the reduction of space, on the one hand when it is in rest position (vertical), and on the other hand, in logistical issues.

All this means that we can provide a solution of capacity and mobility, in terms of rotation and height, more effective compared to previous systems, for presenting those competitive advantages.

The rotating table on mast, parasol or umbrella comprises a main board (1) mounted on a structure (2), which fits and remains fixed to a tubular piece (3) which in turn rotates on two rings (4) to be placed at the ends of said piece and they will be fixed by means of screwed connections to the mast (5).

- Main board (1): Resin, compact board, phenolic, glass, marine board, composite and / or metal, the combination of these being possible; or any other material that works correctly outdoors and indoors. Resistant to sun and moisture.

In the event that the main board (1) is made of resin, it will form a single piece with the structure (2) also of resin.

- Structure (2): Metallic, resin or similar. Composed of two hollow 90 ° tubular profiles or main body (A) and four flat bars (B).

At the end it has a slot (C) that allows the fixing of the structure (2) with the tubular piece (3) that will be described next. This is done by coupling the slot (C) with the bracket (9).

- Tubular piece (3): Metallic, resin or similar. This piece is made up of five elements. On the one hand, we have a hollow tubular profile (7), which will be the one that rotates on the rings (4); on the other hand, a rod (8); it also has a square (9) that provides solidity to the whole and allows the fixation of this with the structure (2); a tightening screw (D) on the back to block the rotation in any position and finally, has two stops (10) that provide a greater surface of support to the main board (1), preventing it from rolling.

These stops (10) could vary in shape and size, but their functionality would not vary.

- Rings (4): Metallic, resin or similar. It refers to two circular pieces, which will be located at the ends of the tubular piece (3), whose profile picks up two different diameters in order to allow rotation. For this, the outside of the lower diameter of the rings (4) coincides with the inside of the diameter of the tubular piece (3). The upper diameter of the rings (4) blocks the displacement of the tubular part (3) on the mast (5).

These rings (4) will be fixed to the mast (5) by bolted connections.

- Auxiliary element (11): Metallic, resin or similar. It is responsible for allowing the height regulation of the board.

In case the structure (2), the tubular piece (3), the rings (4) and the auxiliary element (11) are metallic, they will have an anticorrosive treatment.
