Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bed table mainly used with a bed.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art It is convenient for a bed to have a side table. In a state where a futon is laid on a tatami mat to sleep, a telephone or the like can be placed on the tatami mat. However, since the bed puts the futon on the floor, the telephone placed on the floor cannot be picked up from the bed and cannot be used conveniently. For this reason, a side table placed beside the bed is used. The side table can be conveniently used by setting the top plate higher than the futon on the bed.

[0003]

However, the side table cannot be installed if there is no space beside the bed. For this reason, in a small room, there is no space for installing the side table, and it may not be possible to install it. As shown in FIG. 1, this drawback can be solved by a table used by fixing the support legs 2 on both sides of the top plate 3 and straddling the bed 11. This table can be used if there is a small space beside the bed 11. However, since the table having this structure is continuous on the left and right sides of the upper surface of the bed 11, there is a drawback that the table is obstructed when laying a futon or getting up and down.

[0004] Furthermore, the table of this structure and the side table placed beside the bed have a drawback that they cannot be conveniently used together with a bed with a drawer which has recently been frequently used. This is because the support legs and the side table of the table obstruct the drawer when the drawer is pulled out. The bed can be provided with a drawer in the main body to provide a large storage space. Taking advantage of this feature, the demand for beds with drawers has increased rapidly. If the drawer cannot be pulled out with the side table or the table legs, the large storage space cannot be used effectively.

Further, there is a conventional bed table having a structure shown in FIG. The table includes a support leg 2 fixed to one side of the top plate 3, and a bogie section 16 extending at the lower end of the support leg 2 toward the front end of the top plate 3.
The cart unit 16 has a plurality of casters 17 on the lower surface, and the cart unit 16 runs on these casters 17 so that the entire table can be moved. The table has a structure in which the cart 16 is inserted into a space below the bed 11 so that the top plate 3 can be arranged above the bed 11. This table can also be used if there is a small space beside the bed 11. Further, there is a feature that the table can be freely moved by the cart unit 16 and used conveniently. However, this table requires a space under the bed 11 to insert the cart 16. Therefore, bed 1
There is a disadvantage that the space below 1 cannot be used effectively.
Furthermore, in a bed where there is not enough space below, there is a drawback that the top plate cannot be disposed above the bed because the cart cannot be inserted. In particular, in the case of a bed provided with a drawer in the main body, there is often no sufficient space below, and this type of bed cannot be conveniently used. Thus, the table shown in FIG. 2 cannot be ideally used for all beds.

The present invention has been developed to solve such a drawback of the conventional table. It is an important object of the present invention that it can be used very conveniently without taking up the space in a small bedroom, and that the space under the bed can be used effectively, especially in beds with drawers. Another object of the present invention is to provide a table for a bed which can be pulled out.
