Description

Furniture set including a table and at least one accessory piece of furniture

  associated with the table The present invention relates to improvements made to furniture assemblies comprising a table, provided with a tray resting on at least one foot, and at least one accessory piece of furniture, such as a stool, small serving table, etc., associated at the table. The object of the invention is essentially to facilitate the movement of furniture sets of the kind mentioned

  and to ensure that there is no need to trans-

  wear the building blocks one by one,

  as is usually done in a fasti-

gods.

  The invention also aims to facilitate the ran-

  accessory furniture and ensure that they can remain permanently, including during periods of non-use, in the immediate vicinity of

  the table they are associated with.

  Another object of the invention is to facilitate cleaning.

  floor age in the vicinity of the furniture assembly, without the need to move the accessory furniture to

  clean under the table.

  The invention further aims to reduce to a minimum

  mum the surface occupied on the ground by the furniture assembly

  flabbergasted, especially during periods when it is not used. For these purposes, the furniture assembly according to the invention

  is characterized in that the table further includes,

  placed between its tray and the lower end of its

  or its feet, support means integral with the or

  said feet and arranged to support the accessory furniture when it is not in use, and in that said

  accessory furniture is conformed, especially with regard to

  identifies its height, so that it can be placed on the

  said support means, between these and the plate of the

table.

  Thanks to this arrangement, the furniture assembly can be moved from a block, table and accessory furniture, and all at once. Accessory furniture is permanently

  available near the table, and it is no longer needed

  take care to store them in scattered locations due to lack of space. Because the accessory furniture is stored in the table, access to the floor located under the

  table or in the immediate vicinity thereof is freed

  re, thus facilitating cleaning and avoiding, to proceed

  audit cleaning, the need to move the furniture in

  - turning the table. Finally, the immediate surroundings of the table are freed, which increases the available space all the more

in the room.

  So that the accessory furniture can have a height sufficient for its function, for example in the case

  stools, it is necessary to leave a sufficient height

  lying under the table top: for that, the means

  are arranged in the vicinity of the lower ends

  of the table leg (s).

  the support means can be arranged in any suitable manner for the intended use, in particular be constituted either by a plate, or by a trellis which, possibly, can extend between all the feet of

  the table when it has several and 8tre so-

of said feet.

  In an advantageous embodiment, the means of

  support are arranged, and in particular dimensioned, to receive

  see several accessory pieces of furniture. To facilitate the ran-

  gement of the latter, it is then desirable that the support means comprise means embodying the respective locations of the accessory furniture. In an exemplary embodiment applying in particular to the case where the support means consist of a plate,

  -the means of materialization are constituted by heaps-

  buckets placed flat on said tray.

  The invention will be better understood on reading the

  following description of two of its embodiments

  shown respectively in Figures 1 and 2 of the accompanying drawing. As shown in Figure 1, a table 1, resting

  on four feet 2, has an upper plate 3 made up

  killing the normal table top retaining its usual function. The table 1 is further provided with a lower plate 4 extending between the four legs 2 and fixed to the part

lower of these.

  The plate 4 therefore retains a function known per se

foot bracing 2.

  However, the lower plate 4 is further arranged

  to receive several (in this case six) pieces of furniture

  stops 5 which can constitute either shelves of

  serte, or stools, without, of course, excluding other types of accessory furniture intended for

  other uses than those envisaged here.

  For this purpose, the free height under the upper plate 3 should be sufficient for the passage of the

  accessory furniture 5, just as the over-

  face of the lower plate 4 / is sufficient to receive

  the required number of accessory pieces of furniture 5.

  To facilitate the storage of accessory furniture 5 on the lower plate 4, provision can be made on the latter to materialize the locations of each piece of furniture 4. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, cleats are fixed flat on the plate 4 6 arranged in a delimiting cross

  six slots 7 (in this particular example).

  FIG. 2 represents a monopod table 8 comprising

  both a round plate 9 resting on a central leg 10.

  Towards its base, the foot 10 supports a trellis 11, of the same shape (circular) as the plate 9 and constituted by

  example by an assembly of bars. This trellis presents

  a sufficiently tight mesh for furniture to reach

  stops, such as stools 12, can be provided

  seated on it stably. As shown in FIG. 2, the trellis II can consist of two elements

  annular tubulars 13, 14 of different radii surrounded

  rant foot 10 and joined together and to said foot by

radiant tubular segments 15.

2488791;

  Thanks to the arrangements which have just been described, it is now easy to move in a single table and accessory furniture, at the same time as, when not in use, the accessory furniture is stored in their same place of use. , while clearing the immediate surroundings of the table to increase the space available around

  and facilitate the cleaning of the surrounding soil.

  As goes without saying and as it already follows from the foregoing, the invention is in no way limited to those of its modes of application and embodiments which have been more especially envisaged; on the contrary, it embraces all variants, in particular those according to which the furniture assembly is made of any suitable material such as wood, plastic, metal or any

composite material.
