1 Claim.
My invention relates to ventilated tables, for use in playing bridge or the like.
An important object of the invention is to provide a table of the above mentioned character which will discharge air currents upwardly and downwardly, in proximity to the players, to promote their comfort.
A further object of the invention is to provide a table of simplified construction, having means for securely holding the legs to the body of the table.
A further object of the invention is to provide a table of the above mentioned character which is attractive in appearance and cheap to manufacture.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent during the course of the following description.
In the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this application, and in which like numerals are employed to designate like parts throughout the same,
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a table em.- bodying my invention,
Figure 2 is a central vertical section taken on line 2-2 of Figure 1,
Figure 3 is a horizontal section through the table, taken on line 33 of Figure 2 and looking downwardly,
Figure 4 is a similar view taken on line 3-3 of Figure 2 looking upwardly, and,
Figure 5 is a bottom plan view of the table.
The table comprises a hollow body portion or casing l0, including sides H, a top l2 and a bottom l3. The sides II have upper and lower strips or bars [4 and I5 rigidly secured to the same by nails or the like. The bars M are arranged in an upper rectangular group and the bars l5 are arranged in a lower rectangular group, as shown. Each bar 14 and I5 has its outer portion rectangular in cross-section to snugly fit into the corners produced by the sides ll, top l2 and bottom l3. The bars l4 and I5 have inner cylindrically curved or vertically convex faces IB. The top l2 also may be nailed or otherwise secured to the bars l4 and sides ll,
and the bottom I3 is nailed or otherwise rigidly These several slots are in free communication with the interior of the casing l0. When the table is intended for use by four persons, as is done in playing bridge, the table is made square and each side will have a pair of elongated slots I1 and Hi. It is obvious that the table may be made in any dimensions and that the pairs of slots for each side may be increased as found advantageous.
The body portion or casing H! of the tableis supported by legs l9, inserted into the casing at the corners thereof. The adjacent ends of the bars [4, at each corner, provide a socket 20 to receive the leg l9, and the adjacent ends of the bars [5 at each corner form a socket 2|, to receive each leg. The leg is inserted upwardly within the sockets 20 and 2| until it engages the top l2. The leg has a snug fit within the sockets so that it will not wobble and will be held against downward displacement by a single screw or nail 22. It is obvious that a highly simplified and strong construction is provided for securing the legs to the casing l0.
The bottom I3 is provided centrally thereof with a circular air inlet opening 23, preferably flaring downwardly and receiving a horizontal rotating fan 24, mounted upon a vertical armature shaft 25 of a motor 26. This motor is mounted upon a bracket 21 having feet rigidly secured to the bottom I 3.
In operation, when the motor drives the fan 24, air is forced through-the opening 23 into the casing l0. under suitable pressure. and discharges through the elongated slots l1 and I8. The slot l1 produces an upwardly directed air current, while the slot It! provides a downwardly directed air current. These air currents are projected against the player, seated at the table; The bars l4 and I5 fill in the top and bottom horizontal corners of the casing, and the convex faces l6 lead directly to the slots and serve to guide the air streams to the slots.
It is to be understood that the form of my invention herewith shown and described is to be taken as a preferred example of the same, and that various changes in the shape/size and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit of the invention or the scope of the subjoined claim.
Having thus described my invention, I claim:
A table, comprising a casing including sides, top and bottom, horizontal bars secured to the inner faces of each side adjacent to their upper and lower edges, the horizontal bars in each vertically spaced pair having inner vertically convex faces, the upper bars forming a group and providing sockets at the corners of the casing and the lower bars forming a group and providing sockets at the corners of the casing,
each side having elongated substantially hori- 6 zontal slots arranged between the bars, the convex faces of the bars terminating substantially at the outer walls of the. slots, the bottom having a main opening and a fan arranged adjacent to the main opening to force air through the same,
and a motor arranged beneath the bottom and mounted thereon and serving to drive-tl ieian, I
