Description

The present invention relates to a folding table that folds a top plate and legs.

A folding table composed of a folding top plate and folding legs can be expanded and contracted by connecting a parallel split top plate in a foldable manner as shown in Patent Document 1 and a leg rod by a cross rod. It is a combination of the formed legs, and when used, the legs are attached to the expanded top plate, and when stored (folded), the top plate and the legs are separated to bring them into a predetermined bundled state. .. However, since the top plate and the legs of the folding table are separated from each other, the work at the time of use and storage is complicated.

Patent Document 2 discloses a folding table in which a top plate and legs can be folded in a non-separated state. This folding table is formed by connecting split tops with parallel tops with a rubber strap, and the folding legs are divided into left and right ends of the tops side by side. It is formed by a top plate support plate that connects the leg plates in the parallel direction of the top plate (front-back direction/divided top plate short direction), and can be folded by releasing one connection of the top plate support plate and moving it along the split top plate. The legs are folded together with the split top plate.

JP 2001-137051 A. Design registration 1083408 publication.

In the folding table disclosed in the above-mentioned Patent Document 2, which has a structure in which the top plate and the legs are integrally folded, since the connection of the divided top plates is formed by a rubber cord, it is necessary to consider deterioration over time of the rubber cord, When used outdoors such as in camping, there is a restriction that it cannot be used near a fire.

In addition, the legs that can be erected on the split top plate are pivotally connected to the outer surface of the split top plate, and are folded so as to cover the back surface of the split top plate in the shape of a rectangular cylinder or each plate, and then the top plate is supported. The plates are also laminated so as to be further stacked on the split top plate, and when folded, the components of the folding legs are in a protruding form from the split top plate. For this reason, when the whole is folded and bundled, the above-mentioned components of the folding leg are folded in a form that is exposed to the outside and the appearance is not good, and when the components of the folding leg are positioned inside and folded, the whole is folded. It becomes bulky.

Therefore, the present invention proposes a novel folding table that enables compact folding.

In the folding table according to claim 1 of the present invention, a top plate in which front and rear side-by-side divided top plates are connected in a foldable manner is a top plate that is connected so as to stand up and down in the left-right direction, and a folding outer surface of each of the front and rear leg plates. In a folding table equipped with folding legs that connect the bases and have one end composed of a leg plate and a detachable top plate support plate, the split top plate is formed into an open bottom surface consisting of the top plate and side edges. However, the top plate support plate that is released from the leg plate to be folded and the leg plate on one end side and is laminated on the leg plate has a thickness that can be accommodated in the facing space when the adjacent divided top plates are folded and faced to each other. It is characterized by being formed.

Thus, the divided top plate is expanded to form a top plate, and the base parts of the front and rear leg plates are connected to each other by the top plate support plate on the back face of the top plate, and when the leg plate is erected, the top plate support plate comes into contact with the back face of the top plate and the folding legs. The upright state is stable, and it is used as a table. Further, when the folding legs are laid down and the top plate support plate is temporarily disconnected and positioned on the left and right leg plates, the split top plate can be folded. In particular, when the leg plate and the top plate support plate are folded so as to be sandwiched between the adjacent divided top plates, the leg plate and the top plate support plate are stored in the divided top plate, which is compact and has a folding leg configuration. The parts are tied up nicely without being exposed to the outside.

Further, in the folding table according to the second aspect of the present invention, one end of the top plate supporting plate is pivotally connected to the base of the leg plate and a locking projection is provided at a predetermined position of the other end, and the base of the leg plate to be attached/detached is attached. A locking recess is provided to lock the locking projection when the top support plate is rotated, and the locking projection collides with the leg plate when the top support plate is stacked on the leg plate when folded and stored. It is formed so as not to.

If the above-mentioned configuration is adopted, since the detachable connection structure part between the leg plate and the top plate support plate does not protrude from the surface of the top plate support plate when folded, the thickness of the divided top plate (including the facing space) can be reduced, Effective for compacting when folded.

In the folding table according to claim 3 of the present invention, in particular, a leg mounting plate having a rising connection surface is provided on the back surface of the split top plate, and the base end of the leg plate is pivotally connected to the rising connection surface. In the folding table according to claim 4, the split top plate is further formed of an extruded material, and a leg mounting protrusion having a proper gap with the back face of the top plate at a side edge portion of the split top plate. And a leg mounting plate is mounted and fixed between the back surface of the top plate and the leg mounting projection.

Thus, if the above-mentioned leg mounting plate is adopted, the base end of the leg plate is not pivotally connected to the side edge portion of the split top plate, so that the split top plate has a clean appearance.

The configuration of the present invention is as described above, and the leg components can be stored in the facing space of the split top plate at the time of folding, thereby realizing compactness at the time of folding, and also the folding direction of the split top plate can be selected. Allows folding without exposing the leg components to the outside.

Next, an embodiment of the present invention (a folding table using the table top of the present invention) will be described.

The folding table shown in the embodiment includes a top plate 1 and folding legs 2, and the top plate 1 is formed of a plurality of divided top plates 11, connecting pieces 12, and screw bodies 13.

The divided top plate 11 is provided on the side edges 112 on both sides of the long top plate portion 111 at the side opposite to the connection hole (top plate connection portion) 113 and the back surface of the top plate portion 111 at an appropriate interval (mounting gap 116). It is formed of an extruded material with a leg-mounting protrusion 114 protruding on the edge side (FIG. 3A), and the side edge 112 at the tip is deleted to allow the tip of the top plate portion 111 to project (see FIG. ), the protruding portion is bent upright on the back surface side to form the end surface portion 115. The side edge portion 112 is formed at an appropriate height so that the facing space A described later is secured.

Further, the connecting hole 113 is formed in a shape in which the screw body 13 can be fixed by pressing (screw-fitting) the screw body 13.

The above-mentioned divided top plates 11 are juxtaposed in the front-rear direction, and the adjacent divided top plates 11a are connected to each other using the connecting piece 12 and the screw body. The connecting piece 12 provided with the play hole (pivotally connecting part) 121 corresponding to the plate connecting portion 113 is passed between the divided top plates, and the screw body 13 is inserted into the play hole 121 to fix the screw body 13 to the connecting hole 113. The divided top plates 11 arranged side by side are connected in a foldable manner to form the top plate 1.

Therefore, the top plate 1 is such that the adjacent top plates 11 are foldably connected to each other, is used as a table top plate in a flat plate state, and is folded according to the folding operation of the folding legs 2 described later. ..

The folding leg 2 includes a leg plate 21, a top plate support plate 22, and a leg mounting plate (leg mounting member) 23, and in the present embodiment, is provided on the split top plate 11 located at the front and rear ends.

The leg mounting plate 23 is provided with a rising connecting surface 231, and is inserted into a mounting gap 116 formed between the rear surface of the top plate portion 111 and the leg mounting protrusions 114 on the left and right of the front and rear split top plates 11, and is caulked. It is fixed by such means.

The leg plate 21 includes a leg surface portion 211 and side surface portions 212 in which both sides of the leg surface portion are bent, and the base end of the side surface portion 212 is pivotally connected along the rising connection surface 231 to the back surface of the top plate portion 111. It is provided so that it can stand up and down freely.

The top plate support plate 22 connects between the left and right outer surface side (the outer surface side when the leg plate 21 is laid down) of the front and rear leg plates 21, so that one end is pivotally connected to one leg plate (the pivot shaft 221). It is rotatably connected and has a locking projection 222 at the other end.

Further, when the top plate support plate 22 is connected/folded, the locking projection 222 is locked to the base end edge of the leg surface portion 211 of the leg plate 21 to be attached/detached by rotating the top plate support plate 22. A stop recess 213 is provided, and when the top plate support plate is stacked on the leg plate during folding and storage, the engaging protrusion 222 does not collide with the leg plate 21, and is engaged with the leg surface portion 211 of the leg plate 21 at the position. The storage hole 214 of the stop projection 222 is formed in advance.

Furthermore, the relationship between the height of the folding leg 2 and the height of the side edge portion 112 of the split top plate 11 is that the leg plate 21 is laid down and the top plate support plate 22 is stacked on the leg plate 21 (when folded). When the divided top plate 11 is covered with the adjacent disassembled top plate 11a, the divided top plate 11 is formed to have a thickness that can be accommodated in the facing space A formed by the divided top plates 11 and 11a.

Thus, in the folding table, the divided top plate 11 is expanded to form a top plate, and the bases of the front and rear leg plates 21 are connected to each other by the top plate support plate 22 on the back surface of the top plate. 22 is brought into contact with the back surface of the top plate 1 to stabilize the standing state of the folding leg 2, and is used as a table (FIGS. 1 and 9).

Explaining the folding operation, the entire folding leg 2 is laid down (FIG. 10A), the locking projection 222 of the top plate support plate 22 is removed from the locking recess 213, and laid down (FIG. 10B). The locking projection 222 is housed in the storage hole 214 by rotating on the leg plate 21 (FIG. 10C).

When the split top plate 11 with the folding legs 2 attached is folded inward in the above state, the back surface of the split top plate 11 forms a facing space A with the back surface of the adjacent split top plate 11, and the facing space A The components of the folding leg (the leg plate 21, the top plate support plate 22, and the leg mounting plate 23 are housed therein (FIGS. 2 and 12)).

In the illustrated embodiment, four split top plates 11 are adopted, and the components of the folding leg 2 are incorporated into the front and rear split top plates 11, but the number of the split top plates 11 is arbitrary (an odd number). In the case of, the back surface of one of the front and rear divided ceiling plates 11 is bundled in an exposed state.) Also, the folding leg 2 is not limited to being incorporated in the back surface of the front and rear divided ceiling plates 11.

Further, although the extruded material is adopted for the divided top plate 11 in the present embodiment, the connection hole 113 may be formed by the side edge portion 112 of the divided top plate 11 by a drawing process as long as the extruded material is used.
