Definitions

  • the embodiments herein generally relate to a convertible table system. More particularly, the embodiments herein describe a mechanism of converting a set of tables into an extended table system.
  • the primary object of the embodiments herein is to provide an extendable table system .
  • Another object of the embodiments herein is to provide an extension member that when inserted between two tables forms an extended table system.
  • Yet another object of the embodiments herein is to provide an extension member that forms an extended table system in a seamless manner.
  • Yet another object of the embodiments herein is to provide an extendable table system that is easy to configure and retract.
  • the various embodiments herein provide a table assembly comprising a set of tables and a plurality of extension members, each extension member configured to be inserted between two tables positioned adjacent to each other such that the extension member when inserted to be in a coplanar relationship in a horizontal plane along with adjacent tables forms an extended table system.
  • a convertible table system comprising a set of tables comprising at least two tables positioned adjacent to each other and at least one extension member comprising two parts, the extension member when inserted between the two tables positioned adjacent to each other transforms the two tables into an enlarged table system, wherein the extension member is configured for holding the two tables in coplanar relationship in a horizontal plane.
  • each table in the set of tables comprises a base for supporting the table and a table top pivotally mounted and secured to the base at a fixed position in a horizontal plane.
  • the extension member comprises at least one fastening device configured for coupling the extension member to the table tops of the adjacent tables.
  • the fastening device is a clip.
  • the clip is structured to form a surface between the adjacent table tops and the extension member positioned in between the table tops.
  • the clip is structured to wrap about half of the table top located on either side of the extension member.
  • the extension member is made of poly vinyl chloride.
  • the extension member is manufactured using one of injection or molding process.
  • the extendable table system further comprises a metal strap hinge riveted to the edges at midpoint of the extension member.
  • the metal strap hinge comprises a stainless steel strap hinge.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a perspective view of an extendable table system, according to an embodiment herein.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates a top view of the extendable table system shown in FIG. 1, according to an embodiment herein.
  • the various embodiments herein provide a table assembly comprising a set of tables and a plurality of extension members, each extension member configured to be inserted between two tables positioned adjacent to each other such that the extension member when inserted to be in a coplanar relationship in a horizontal plane along with adjacent tables forms an extended table system.
  • the general purpose of this invention is to provide "extension members".
  • Each extension members is a two part structure, which folds out to attach/join two tables to get one long table for a bigger group.
  • the "extension members” are supported by the table tops with fastening members such as clips.
  • the clips are shaped to form a surface between the table and the extension members.
  • the invention eliminates the need for any physical attachment to the existing tables due to the shape of the table insert wrapping around half of the table on each side and the weight of the table insert is enough to hold the same in place.
  • an extendable table system comprises a set of tables 102 and 104 comprising at least two tables 102 and 104 positioned adjacent to each other and at least one extension member 106 comprising two parts, the extension member 106 when inserted between the two tables 102 and 104 positioned adjacent to each other transforms the two tables 102 and 104 into an enlarged table system. Further, the extension member 106 is configured for holding the two tables 102 and 104 in coplanar relationship in a horizontal plane.
  • Each table in the set of tables 102 and 104 comprises a base 108 for supporting the table; and a table top 110 pivotally mounted and secured to the base 108 at a fixed position in a horizontal plane.
  • the extension member 106 is circumferentially disposed to the table top 110s of each of the tables 102 and 104 positioned adjacent to the extension member 106.

  • the clips 112 are fabricated from stainless steel.
  • each clip is two inches wide and extending out onto the table top 110 and made to wrap around the edge of the table system 100.
  • Each clip is attached by rivets in order to secure the position.
  • the extension member 106 is made of poly vinyl chloride that is manufactured using one of injection or molding process. The molded or injected plastic used for fabricating the extension member 106 enhances the durability and portability of the extendable table system.
  • the system further comprises a metal strap hinge 114 riveted to the edges at midpoint of the extension member 106.
  • the metal strap hinge 114 comprises a stainless-steel strap hinge 114. Skilled artisans shall however appreciate that other metals suitable for the application may also be employed.
  • the two parts of the table system 100 are connected with a twelve-inch-long stainless-steel strap hinge 114 riveted to the edges at midpoint of the table system 100 for flexibility of installation and storage.
  • the advantages of the embodiments disclosed herein comprise an easy to extend and retract extended table system 100 that achieves extension seamlessly. Further, molded or injected plastic used for fabricating the extension member 106 enhances the durability and portability of the extendable table system.
