Multi-purpose table with embedded metal nuts for assembly

Abstract

A multi-purpose table with embedded metal nuts for assembly includes two vertical support plates, a top plate and a horizontal plate assembly. The vertical support plates and the top plate are made hollow and formed of plastic material by way of blow molding. The vertical support plates are substantially parallel with and opposite to each other. The top plate, on which an electronic apparatus is to be placed, is connected to the vertical support plates. The horizontal plate assembly is connected to the vertical support plates, wherein the top plate and the horizontal plate assembly are connected to the vertical support plates through a plurality of screws screwing into a plurality of metal nuts embedded in the vertical support plates.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The invention relates to an integrated multi-purpose table, and more particularly to a multi-purpose table with embedded metal nuts for assembly. [0003] 2. Description of the Related Art [0004] At present, most of the assembled computer tables are formed by combining several wood plates and screwing one of the wood plates to another. In another kind of assembled computer table, one piece of wood plate or multiple pieces of wood plates are combined with one piece of metal member or multiple pieces of metal members using screws to fasten the wood plate(s) to the metal member(s). Screw holes are typically formed on the wood plate by the self-drilling screws when the screws are directly screwed into the wood plate. Although the assembled computer table may be disassembled by loosening the screws, the re-assembled computer table tends to wobble and affect the user's operation because the structure intensity of each screw...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0008] It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a multi-purpose table with embedded metal nuts for assembly, wherein the multi-purpose table may be manufactured in mass-production and low-cost manners, and may be easily disassembled and re-assembled by the user without losing its stability.

Problems solved by technology

Although the assembled computer table may be disassembled by loosening the screws, the re-assembled computer table tends to wobble and affect the user's operation because the structure intensity of each screw hole on the wood plate is not high enough or even may be damaged during the disassembling process.

Since there is a great need for the computer tables, producing a lot of computers using wood plates cannot meet the requirements for environmental protection.

However, the wood plates of the used computer table cannot be recycled for reproduction, and thus the requirements for environmental protection cannot be met either.

In addition, the processes for manufacturing such wood plates are complicated and time-consuming and require subsequent surface processing to finish the surfaces of the wood plates.

Moreover, because the wood plates are heavy, the overall weight of the computer table is too large to be moved or be transported easily.

Therefore, the conventional computer tables are too heavy and cannot be manufactured easily, and they are not suitable for mass production.

Thus, the user has to connect the plugs of the power lines of the computers, printers, speakers, and the like to the receptacles, which is quite inconvenient to the user.

More particularly, it is more inconvenient to the user when the whole computer table has to be moved from one place to another place.
