The Example of a foldable table is shown, (a) is a perspective view of use condition, (b) is a side view of use condition, (c) is a perspective view for demonstrating a storage state. (A) is a partial enlarged perspective view of the specific surface 14, and (b) is a partial enlarged perspective view of the expansion panel 16. FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing a state in which panel legs 22 are fixed to the expansion panel 16. (A) is a perspective view of the state in which the back cover of the main body container 12 is opened, (b) is a perspective view of parts of the pillar fixing portion 30, and (c) is a side view of a hinge portion.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail for each example.

FIGS. 1A and 1B are diagrams showing an embodiment of a foldable table, in which FIG. 1A is a perspective view in use, FIG. 1B is a side view in use, and FIG. 1C is a perspective view for explaining a storage state.
The folding table assembled as shown in FIG. 1A is configured such that all of the components can be stored in the main body container 12. That is, the folding table 10 includes a main body container 12, an expansion panel 16, a panel leg 22, an expansion sub-panel 34, a column 28, a firearm 36, and the like.

  The main body container 12 is a substantially rectangular parallelepiped box-shaped container. It is made of lightweight metal such as plywood, plastic or aluminum. When the main body container 12 is installed in use as shown in FIG. 1A, the horizontal plane facing upward is referred to as a specific surface 14. A surface of the bottom of the main body container 12 facing the specific surface 14 is referred to as a bottom surface. The specific surface 14 is configured by a plate having a round hole in the center. A metal fire tray 36 is fitted into the round hole. Here, for example, charcoal or the like is used to grill meat and fish. A gas burner or the like can also be attached.

  The expansion panel 16 has a similar shape to the specific surface 14 of the main body container 12. The specific surface 14 is a surface that appears when the lid 17 connected by the hinge 20 is opened, and is a portion that supports the fire tray 36 and is used for cooking or the like. At the time of use, the main body container 12 is installed with the specific surface 14 facing upward and almost horizontal. The expansion panel 16 serves as a table.

  Four expansion panels 16 are arranged around the specific surface 14. Each of the expansion panels 16 is temporarily fixed using a hook 18 with one side overlapped with any side of the specific surface 14, and is supported by the panel legs 22. Each expansion panel 16 is supported so as to be substantially horizontal on the side of the specific surface 14. The expansion panels 16 are also made of plywood, plastic, or light metal. The panel leg 22 is attached to the expansion panel 16 by a support fitting 23. As will be described later, the panel legs 22 and the support fittings 23 are constituted by aluminum pipes, reinforced plastics, or wooden pillars and bars.

  As shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, the expansion sub-panel 34 is attached in parallel to the bottom surface of the main body container 12. The expansion sub panel 34 functions as a bottom cover of the main body container 12. The expansion subpanel 34 is opened and leveled as shown. The lid 17 and the extended sub-panel 34 are horizontally supported by the panel legs 21. Thus, the bottom surface of the main body container 12 is also extended to form a shelf under the table.

  As shown in (c) of the figure, on one side of the specific surface 14, there is a lid 17 whose one side is connected and fixed via a hinge 20. The lid 17 also functions as one of the expansion panels 16 as shown in FIG. On the specific surface 14 shown in (c) of the figure, three expansion panels 16 can be stacked and sandwiched, the hinge 20 can be folded, and the lid 17 can be closed and housed. All the expansion panels 16 can be connected and fixed to each side of the specific surface 14 using a hinge 20. If the attachment position of the hinge 20 is adjusted, the four expansion panels 16 can be integrated with the main body container 12 without being spaced apart.

  Furthermore, as will be described later, all the components can be accommodated in the main body container 12. In order to support the main body container 12 at an appropriate height, four struts 28 are used. The four struts 28 are fixed so as to contact the inner surface of the ridge 26 of the main body container 12.

FIG. 2 is a partially enlarged perspective view of the specific surface 14 and a partially enlarged perspective view of the expansion panel 16.
The specific surface 14 is set so that the surface supporting the firearm 36 is slightly lower than the edge of the side wall 15. A hook 18 of the expansion panel 16 is hung on the side wall 15 to temporarily fix the expansion panel 16. That is, as shown in FIG. 2 (b), the hook 18 is bent in a U-shape, which is hung on the side wall 15, and the side of the expansion panel 16 can be supported on the side wall 15.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a state in which the panel leg 22 is fixed to the expansion panel 16.
The expansion panel 16 is horizontally supported by panel legs 22. The panel leg 22 is fixed to the edge of the expansion panel 16 by a support fitting 23. The support bracket 23 has a structure in which the panel leg 22 can be connected to the lower portion, and has a portion bent in a U shape at the upper portion. The portion bent in the U-shape is attached to the edge of the expansion panel 16. If comprised in this way, since the metal fitting etc. are unnecessary on the expansion panel 16 side, the expansion panel 16 can be made thin and can be stored easily. Also, with this structure, the panel leg 22 can be easily fixed to the edge of the expansion panel 16 to support the expansion panel 16 horizontally.

4A is a perspective view of the main body container 12 with the back cover opened, FIG. 4B is a perspective view of parts of the column fixing portion 30, and FIG. 4C is a side view of the hinge portion.
The main body container 12 shown in FIG. The struts 28 are fitted and fixed so as to contact the inner surfaces of the four ridges 26 of the main body container 12. On the back side of the ridge 26, for example, a column fixing portion 30 formed by bending a metal plate is fixed as shown in FIG. When the column 28 is inserted into the column fixing portion 30, the column 28 is fixed so as to stand upright on the back side of the ridge 26 of the main body container 12. As a result, the state shown in FIG. That is, the main body container 12 can be supported so as to be held at a certain height.

  The struts 28 may be circular or quadrangular in cross section. It may be plate-shaped. In any case, the main body container 12 may be configured to be sufficiently longer than the ridge 26 of the main body container 12 so as to protrude below the main body container 12 and support the main body container 12 at a predetermined height. Since the column fixing part 30 fixes the column 28 detachably, these four columns 28 can be accommodated in the internal space 24 of the main body container 12 when not in use.

  4A and 4C, the extended sub-panel 34 is connected and fixed to the main body container 12 by a hinge 20 with one side overlapping the side of the bottom surface of the main body container 12. The expansion sub-panel 34 functions as a lid for the bottom portion of the main body container 12 when the hinge 20 is folded. The same hinge 20 can be used for the connection between the lid 17 and the main body container 12 shown in FIG.

  According to the present invention described above, all necessary components can be accommodated in the main body container 12 in a compact manner, and the table can be easily assembled. For example, if one side of the main body container 12 is selected to be about 50 centimeters, a sufficiently wide table of about 1.5 meters in length and width can be easily assembled if the table is expanded in a cross shape using the expansion panel 16. it can.

  Further, the three expansion panels 16 can be separated from the main body container 12, and the size of the table can be arbitrarily adjusted depending on whether or not to use. Also, the bottom lid can be used as a shelf, making it a very useful tool. In addition, for example, the specific surface 14 may be rectangular so that two gas stoves can be attached. The fire tray 36 provided on the specific surface 14 may be circular or quadrangular. Furthermore, the entire specific surface 14 can be used as a fire plate.
