Description
- 1. Field of Invention
- The present invention relates to a banquet table, and more particularly to a foldable pivot leg assembly for a banquet table with a plastic tabletop, wherein the foldable pivot leg assembly is directly mounted under the plastic tabletop for enhancing the supporting structure and the portability of the banquet table.
- 2. Description of Related Arts
- Banquet tables have become very popular since the tables are economy, cheap and foldable that can be quickly and easily folded for carriage and storage and unfolded for use. Especially when some participant-intensive activities take place in multi-function rooms or designated areas, the banquet tables can be temporary set up in minutes. After the functions, the banquet tables can be quickly and neatly folded up for storage.
- A conventional banquet table comprises a tabletop and a pair of table legs foldable mounted underneath the tabletop. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,957,061 generally suggests a banquet table that two table legs are pivotally mounted at two opposed side end portions of the tabletop. Since the two table legs support the tabletop at two side end portions thereof, when a downward loading force is applied on the tabletop, a mid-portion of the tabletop may be cracked easily. In order to enhance the rigid structure of the banquet table, the tabletop must be made of stiffness material such as wood or metal. However, the wooden or metal tabletop will increase the overall weight of the banquet table that reduces the portability of the banquet table.
- In order to enhance the portability of the banquet table, the tabletop is made of lightweight material such as plastic. One of the common technologies to manufacture the tabletop is known as the plastic “air-blow” molding technique. Therefore, the overall weight of the banquet table will be substantially reduced by the plastic tabletop. However, such banquet table having the plastic tabletop has several drawbacks.
- The strength of such plastic tabletop is weak that the mid-portion of the plastic tabletop may be cracked easily due to the downward loading force. Accordingly, the tabletop generally comprises a plastic made top panel, two metal made supporting arms longitudinally mounted under the top panel, and a metal made reinforcing arm transversely mounted below a mid-portion of the top panel between the two supporting arms to substantially increase the strength of the top panel.
- In addition, in order to foldably attach the table leg to the tabletop, the table leg comprises a standing leg rotatably mounted between the supporting arms and a folding leg pivotally mounted between the standing leg and the reinforcing arm such that the standing leg is capable of pivotally folding under the top panel of the tabletop. As a result, the reinforcing arm not only enhances the strength of the top panel but also rigidly supports the table leg in a foldable manner. In other words, the plastic tabletop must include the reinforcing arm in order to form the banquet table.
- A main object of the present invention is to provide a foldable pivot leg assembly for a banquet table with a plastic tabletop, wherein the foldable pivot leg assembly is directly mounted under the plastic tabletop for enhancing the supporting structure and the portability of the banquet table.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a foldable pivot leg assembly for a banquet table with a plastic tabletop, which comprises a supporting frame not only functioning as a conventional folding leg to guide the folding movement of the leg frame but also substantially reinforcing the strength of the plastic tabletop. In other words, the banquet table does not require to incorporate with the conventional reinforcing arm so as to minimize the manufacturing cost of the banquet table having the plastic tabletop.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a foldable pivot leg assembly for a banquet table with a plastic tabletop, wherein the foldable pivot leg assembly is adapted to self-assemble to the plastic tabletop. The plastic tabletop and the foldable pivot leg assembly can be shipped and handled individually and then assembled later on by the importers or the customers in a Do-It-Yourself manner. Therefore, the handling and shipping cost of the foldable banquet table can be further reduced for the manufacturer. The shipping space can be reduced accordingly too. In other words, both the tabletop and the foldable pivot leg assembly are replaceable individually while the conventional banquet table must be thrown away when one of the parts is damaged.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a foldable pivot leg assembly for a banquet table with a plastic tabletop, wherein the banquet table can be quickly and easily folded up for storage and carriage and unfolded for use.
- Accordingly, in order to accomplish the above objects, the present invention provides a foldable pivot leg assembly for a banquet table with a plastic tabletop which comprises a plastic made top panel and two tabletop supports longitudinally supported under the top panel along two side edge portions thereof respectively, comprising:
- a pair of table supporting frames adapted for foldably and spacedly affixing to the tabletop, wherein each of the table supporting frames comprises:
- a leg frame having an upper end portion for pivotally mounting between the two tabletop supports; and
- a supporting frame comprising two supporting arms each having a lower retention portion and an upper supporting portion for transversely and pivotally mounting at the respective tabletop support, and a folding frame pivotally connected between the retention portions of the supporting arms and the leg frame in such a manner that in a folded position, the leg frames are pivotally and inwardly folded for resting under the top panel, and in an unfolded position, the leg frames are firmly and rigidly supported by the supporting frame and pivotally and outwardly folded for perpendicularly standing under the top panel.
