And a table plate 7 rotatably provided on the lifting column 4, supported in a substantially horizontal state by the sub-table 5, and capable of being restrained / released by the sub-table 5 via restraining means 6. ing. And this table board 7
When the lifting column 4 is moved up to near the upper limit, the restraining means 6 is released, and the table plate 7 is rotated so as to be suspended along the lifting column 4.

The leg 2 has a caster 8 so that it can move freely. The leg 2 is arranged, for example, beside a bed as a shape of the leg 2, and is a bedside cabinet (not shown) used as a storage means or a storage table. Accordingly, the bedside cabinet is formed in a U-shape so as to surround the bedside cabinet from the front (see FIG. 4).
The leg 2 is provided with a recess 9 in the vicinity of the attachment of the fixed column 3 to the leg 2 for receiving the tip of the table 7 when the table 7 is suspended. Immediately below the recess 9 of the leg 2, there is provided a support assisting means 10 for preventing a fall.

The fixed column 3 is vertically provided near one end of the leg 2. The elevating column 4 is a hollow member held up and down with respect to the fixed column 3,
In the lifting column 4, the fixed column 3 and the lifting column 4 are
It is structured to be connected via elevating means (for example, a piston rod in a gas spring).

The table plate 7 is supported on the sub-table 5 in close contact with the sub-table 5 and is longer than the sub-table 5 and slightly longer than the leg 2. Further, on the back surface of the table plate 7, a receiving portion 11 constituting the restraining means 6 is provided in a protruding manner. The sub-table 5 and the table plate 7 can be formed of a known synthetic resin.

The restraining means 6 includes a sub-table 5
A lock bar 13 that detachably locks via a spring member 12 to a receiving portion 11 protruding from the front end to the back surface of the table plate 7.
The lock bar 13 and the stopper receiver 14 provided in the lifting column 4 are connected to the guide roller 1 in the sub-table 5.
5 and connected by a linear member 16 provided. On the other hand, there is a column stopper 17 on the fixed column 3 side, which comes into contact with the stopper receiver 14 when the elevating column 4 moves up, and prevents the stopper receiver 14 from moving up. In such a configuration, the lifting support 4 is moved upward, and the stopper support 14 on the lift support 4 is brought into contact with the support stopper 17 on the fixed support 3 to prevent the stopper support 14 from moving upward. The bar 16 is pulled against the spring member 12 to pull the lock bar 1.

In the bedside table 1 constructed as described above, in use, the user raises and lowers the lifting column 4 by operating the height of the table plate 7 at the height of the bottom of the bed and operating the lifting / lowering adjusting means. Can be combined. At this time, the table plate 7 is supported by the sub-table 5, and the sub-table 5 and the table plate 7 are supported by receiving portions 11 protruding from the back surface of the table plate 7.
In addition, since the lock bar 13 is locked via the spring member 12, the load on the mounting portion of the table plate 7 is reduced, and even if the size of the table plate 7 is lengthened to some extent, the wobble is suppressed and the table plate 7 is held down. It can be supported and is easy to use. And the user inserts the leg 2 on the bottom from the bottom side,
In addition to the accessory storage, it can be used as a dining table or as a treatment table.

Next, when the use is completed, the leg 2 is pulled out from the bottom side. Next, the table plate 7 is lifted from above the sub-table 5, and is brought into the retracted state along the lifting column 4. However, the sub-table 5 and the table board 7
Means that the table plate 7 cannot be moved as it is because it is restrained by the lock bar 13 via the spring member 12 in the receiving portion 11 projecting from the back surface of the table plate 7. Then, when the lifting column 4 is lifted to the upper limit, the stopper support 14 moves upward together with the lifting column 4 and hits the column stopper 17 on the fixed column 3 side. Further, when the lifting column 4 is lifted, the stopper receiver 14 is blocked by the column stopper 17, so that the linear member 16 is pulled against the spring member 12 to pull the lock bar 13 on the back surface of the table plate 7. The table plate 7 can be released from the receiving portion 11 and unlocked (see FIG. 2).
