The mounting tube (108) includes one or more conic items (112, 114, and 116), one or more rings (118) with a slot positioned between the conic items (112, 114, and 116), and a conic tube (120) configured to be pushed into a conic hole on the base (106), thereby enabling the ring (118) to move outwards against the inside walls of the support frame (102) base (106) to connect with the base (106) to the support frame (102).

Description

TABLE ASSEMBLY SYSTEM TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The invention disclosed herein generally relates to table assemblies. More particularly, the present invention relates to a system for securely assembling tables by removably coupling a table bottom to a tabletop.
BACKGROUND Various folding table device have been used for temporary use in different places. In meeting-places, such as conference rooms and restaurants, the number of visitors may vary considerably from one time to another. Consequently, the number of tables required will also vary. Accordingly, before a meeting, tables which will not be needed must be taken to a storage room or the like or, alternatively, tables which are needed must be brought from the storage room to the meeting-room. In the case of tables with fixed legs, the tables must be stacked on top of each other both when being stored and when being transported.
In general, various kinds of furniture placed in an interior space are widely available in the form of systems furniture, which refers to a type of furniture with standardized component parts such that the furniture can be easily assembled, disassembled, and reassembled in different ways by breaking from a conventional standardized shape, thereby offering flexibility in shape and size, and improving user convenience, work efficiency, and aesthetic.
A prior art, US 2008/0223261 of FREDERICK, JOHN et al., discloses a table assembly system comprising: a support frame having an upper end and a lower end; a top surface or table top configured to mount to the upper end of the support frame; and a base or bottom section configured to mount to the lower end of the support frame, where the base has a mounting tube. However, above-mentioned prior art fails to disclose that the mounting tube includes two or more conic items placed on top of each other with a spacing therebetween, one or more rings with a slot, where the rings are positioned between the conic items, and a conic tube placed in the lower end of the conic items and configured to be pushed into a conic hole on the base, thereby enabling the rings to move outwards against the inside walls of the mounting tube and the support frame to connect with the base.
However, the conventional table assembly systems are useful to some extent for some purposes, these prior efforts sometimes yield a poor user experience. Therefore, there is a need for a solution to provide a system for securely assembling tables by removably coupling a table bottom to a tabletop.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION This summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts in a simplified form that are further disclosed in the detailed description of the invention.
The present invention discloses a deployable table assembly system. In one embodiment, the present invention provides the system that can be used to assemble the tables in areas such as restaurants. The system enables a user to easily mount the tables. In one embodiment, the system could be used on a normal table. In one embodiment, the system could be easily assembled and disassembled. The system could be disassembled for storing during not in use. In one embodiment, the system comprises a support frame having an upper end and a lower end. In one embodiment, the system further comprises a tabletop and a base.
The table assembly system comprises: a support frame having an upper end and a lower end, a top surface or table top configured to mount to the upper end of the support frame, and a base or bottom section configured to mount to the lower end of the support frame, where the base has a mounting tube, characterised in that the mounting tube includes two or more conic items placed on top of each other with a spacing therebetween, one or more rings with a slot, where the rings are positioned between the conic items, and a conic tube placed in the lower end of the conic items and configured to be pushed into a conic hole on the base, thereby enabling the rings to move outwards against the inside walls of the mounting tube and the support frame to connect with the base.

The sealing members (130 and 132) are removably fastened together using the screw 122.
Referring to FIG. 10, a perspective view of the system 100 having a frame 103, according to one embodiment of the present invention. In one embodiment, the frame 103 is disposed at the top up against the support frame 102 under the tabletop 104. In one embodiment, the frame 103 could have one or more support frame 102 configured to support the tabletop 104. The frame 103 is mounted over the support frame 102 using one or more fasteners 121. In one embodiment, the fastener 121 could be, but not limited to, threaded screws, nuts, and bolts. In one embodiment, the system 100 can also be used on a table with four support frame 102.
Referring to FIG. 11, an exploded view of the system 100 having the frame 103, according to one embodiment of the present invention. In one embodiment, the frame 103 could have any of the shape including, but not limited to, circle, square, and rectangle, to support the tabletop 104. In one embodiment, the frame 103 could be a hollow structure having one or more through-holes 123. The frame 103 is mounted over the support frame 102 using one or more fasteners 121 via the through-holes 123. In one embodiment, the fastener 121 could be, but not limited to, threaded screws, nuts, and bolts. In one embodiment, the fastener 121 is inserted into the first mounting unit 105 via the through- hole 123, thereby mounting the frame 103 to the support frame 102. In one embodiment, the frame 103 could be mounted to one or more support frame 102. In one embodiment, the frame 103 could be mounted to four support frame 102.
Advantageously, the table assembly system is used to easily secure the components together. The system provides an easy way to assemble and disassemble the table components. The system design requires less space while storing and shipping or transporting by vehicles. The conic surfaces on the different components and the movement made by the screw makes a good and solid assemble between the items, and it is easy for the end user to assemble and disassemble if needed. Further, the system could be used on a normal table with three, four, or more support frame.
