Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a folding table that can be installed outdoors or indoors.

(Prior Art) Various folding tables of this type have been disclosed in the past, but in all of them, when folded, a part of the legs are exposed from the table, or the legs and top plate are separated. The disadvantage was that the legs could be damaged during transportation or storage due to relative movement.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) The object of the present invention is to prevent the legs from being exposed and to be moved inadvertently when folded, and to provide a sturdy folding table.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a peripheral wall that hangs downwardly on the outer periphery of the top plate to form a rectangular storage chamber on the back surface of the top plate. , the outer dimensions of the legs when folded are slightly smaller than the inner dimensions of the accommodation chamber, and L-shapes in plan view are formed at the four corners of the accommodation chamber, spaced inwardly from the peripheral wall and protruding downward. A shaped stopper is provided, the outer surface of the stopper is arranged close to the inner surface of the leg housed in the storage chamber, and the inner surface of the stopper is configured to engage with the outer surface of the upper end of the expanded leg. be.

(Function) Since the present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, the legs folded and accommodated on the back surface of the top plate are surrounded by the peripheral wall on the outside.

Moreover, since the accommodated legs are accommodated along the inner surface of the peripheral wall, they become as large as possible.

Further, since the stopper is close to the peripheral wall, it has the function of preventing the accommodated legs from moving laterally, and also locks the upper ends of the spread legs at the outer circumferential side of the table.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

First of all, in the drawings, each figure shows an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 1 is a side cross-sectional view of the expanded table, FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view thereof, and FIG. 3 is a side view of the table with its legs folded. , FIG. 4 is a front view thereof.

Reference numeral 1 designates a top plate formed in a rectangular shape, and a peripheral wall 2 that protrudes downward over the entire circumference is fixed to the peripheral portion of the top plate 1, thereby forming a rectangular storage chamber 3 on the back surface of the top plate 1. .

At the four corners of the storage chamber 3, four stoppers 4-1, 4-2, 4-3, and 4-4 are installed on the top plate 1, spaced inwardly from the peripheral wall 2, as shown in FIG. Fix it on the back.

Each of these stoppers 4, as shown in FIG.
Both are formed into an L-shape in plan view.

5 is a leg that supports the top plate 1, and a pair of prismatic bars 6a, 6a are rotatably connected to each other at their longitudinal centers by a support pin 7 made of a bolt and nut. Set up two sets of 6,
These pillars 6, 6 are spaced apart from each other in the front and back direction, and are connected by cross bars 8 at four locations above and below.

Reference numeral 9 denotes a concave groove into which when the leg 5 is folded in the direction of arrow A, one of the opposing cross bars 8a and 8b is inserted, and the columns 6 and 6 become rod-shaped when viewed from the side, as shown in FIG. It is to make it happen.

Here, when the legs 5 mentioned above are folded as shown in FIG. This allows the folded legs 5
can be fitted along the inner periphery of the storage chamber 3 as shown by the imaginary line in FIG.

In addition, for each of the aforementioned stoppers 4, the dimension of the gap Le between the left and right walls 2a of the peripheral wall 2 is set to be slightly wider than the left and right width Lf of one of the supports 6 of the folded legs 5, as shown in FIG. At the same time, the gap between the peripheral wall 2 and the upper and lower walls 2b and the pitch in the vertical direction are made close to the upper and lower walls 2b to such an extent that the crossbar 8 does not buffer.

As a result, each stopper 4 is positioned as close to the corner of the peripheral wall 2 as possible, and the outer surface 4a of each stopper 4 is brought close to face the inner surface 5a of the folded leg 5, as shown in FIG. The movement is prevented, and the top plate 1 is stably supported by increasing the vertical and horizontal pitches of the inner surfaces 4b of each stopper 4 to which the upper end outer side 5b of the expanded leg 5 is locked.

In addition, the front and rear width Lg of the folded legs 5 and the protrusion amount of the peripheral wall 2 and the stopper 4 are set to be approximately equal,
Thereby, the folded legs 4 are accommodated in the accommodation chamber 3 without being exposed to the outside.

(Effects of the invention) As is clear from the above explanation, the present invention allows the legs to be accommodated in the accommodation chamber formed on the back surface of the top plate when folded, without being exposed to the outside.
Lateral movement with respect to the top plate is prevented by the peripheral wall and the stopper.

Therefore, it becomes compact during transportation or storage, and damage to the legs can be prevented.

Furthermore, the legs have become as large as possible, and the pitch of the stopper that locks the spread legs has become larger.
This provides effects such as being able to support the top plate stably and robustly.
