Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of tables with foldable legs. More specifically, the present invention relates to a table with foldable legs and a blow-molded table top that can form a tray for holding ice cubes and chilled food or drinks. Background Art

[0002] Refrigerated tables are used, for example, to serve food or beverages at social events while keeping the items refrigerated. Some refrigerated tables have legs that can be folded onto the lower surface of the refrigerated table when not in use for ease of transport and storage. Existing refrigerated table designs utilize a solid tabletop, such as the table described in U.S. Patent No. 6,832,492. Due to their solid construction, these tables are heavy and therefore difficult to transport and install. In addition, most solid structures do not provide the adequate thermal insulation required for a refrigerated table. The lack of adequate thermal insulation can also result in excessive condensation on the outer surface of the tabletop.

[0003] Therefore, there is a need for a refrigerated table having a lightweight structure for easier storage, transportation and installation, and having a hollow tabletop structure for better thermal insulation performance. Summary of the invention

[0004] A refrigerated table can meet the above and other needs. The refrigerated table is easy to transport and install, can provide a large amount of refrigerated beverages, and there will be no condensation on the outer surface of the tabletop when in use. A preferred embodiment of the refrigerated table includes a blow-molded tabletop, a first foldable leg assembly and a second foldable leg assembly. The blow-molded tabletop has an upper surface, a peripheral lip and a lower surface. The upper surface has an outer edge and an upper drain hole located in the center of the outer edge.

[0031] Figure 1A , 1B , 2A and 2B depict a refrigerated table 10 for serving food or beverages, such as at a social event. The tabletop 12 is preferably made of a plastic formed by blow molding and includes a tray for holding an ice bed in which the food or beverage is kept refrigerated. Due to the blow molding process, the tabletop 12 has a double-walled tray structure that provides insulation to the bottom and sides of the tray.

[0032] As described in more detail below, the refrigerated table 10 preferably has legs 50a and 50b that fold against the underside of the table top 12 to make the structure easier to transport and store. Figure 1A and 1B The refrigerated table 10 is shown in a use configuration with the legs extended. Figure 2A and 2B The refrigerated table 10 is shown in a storage configuration with the legs folded.

[0033] The description of the embodiment of the refrigerated table 10 provided herein relates to various surfaces in the structure of the table top 12. As used herein, the term "surface" refers to a wall of a molded structure whose thickness is relatively small compared to the length and width of the structure. For example, the wall thickness of a blow molded structure may be between about 1.50 mm and 4.00 mm, and the span of the surface may be about 400 times the thickness. Therefore, unless specifically defined herein as an inner surface or an outer surface, the term "surface" is not limited to the interior or exterior of a double-wall blow molded structure, but generally refers to the wall of a double-wall structure.

[0034] The table top 12 includes an upper surface 14 having an outer edge 16, and a peripheral lip 20 having an inner wall 22 extending upward from the outer edge 16. The peripheral lip 20 has outer walls spaced apart from the inner wall 22, including first and second side outer walls 24a and first and second end outer walls 24b. In the description provided herein, the first and second side outer walls 24a define the length of the table top 12, while the first and second end outer walls 24b define the width of the table top 12. The upper drain hole 18 is located at a central position between the outer edges 16 of the table top 12. In a preferred embodiment, the upper surface 14 slopes downward from the outer edges 16 toward the upper drain hole 18 to accommodate water flowing from the outer edges 16 toward the upper drain hole 18 when ice melts.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment, the material thickness of upper surface 14 varies from about 3.10 millimeters to about 3.70 millimeters, and the material thickness of peripheral lip 20 varies from about 2.50 millimeters to about 3.70 millimeters.

[0036] The tabletop 12 includes a lower surface 26 that spans the distance between the outer walls 24a and 24b of the peripheral lip 20. In a preferred embodiment, the lower surface 26 includes outer peripheral portions 28a-28b, a central portion 30, a first end portion 36, a second end portion 38, a first side portion 40, and a second side portion 42. The outer peripheral portions disposed adjacent to the outer walls 24a-24b of the peripheral lip 20 include first and second side peripheral portions 28a disposed opposite each other, and first and second end peripheral portions 28b disposed opposite each other. The first side peripheral portion 28a is disposed adjacent to the first side outer wall 24a of the peripheral lip 20, and the second side peripheral portion 28a is disposed adjacent to the second side outer wall 24a of the peripheral lip 20. The first end peripheral portion 28b is disposed adjacent to the first end outer wall 24b of the peripheral lip 20, and the second end peripheral portion 28b is disposed adjacent to the second end outer wall 24b of the peripheral lip 20.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment, the material thickness of the lower surface 26 varies from about 2.50 millimeters to about 4.00 millimeters, and the material thickness of the outer peripheral portions 28a-28b varies from about 1.50 millimeters to about 2.60 millimeters.

[0038] The central portion 30 of the lower surface 26 is disposed between the first side portion 40 and the second side portion 42 and between the first end portion 36 and the second end portion 38, and is spaced a distance D1 from the upper surface 14. The central portion 30 has a lower drain hole 32 aligned with the upper drain hole 18. An integrally formed tubular portion 34 extends through the table top 12 to fluidly connect the upper drain hole 18 and the lower drain hole 32, so that liquid can enter the upper drain hole 18, flow through the tubular portion 34, and drain from the lower drain hole 32.

[0039] The first end 36 of the lower surface 26 is disposed between the central portion 30 and the first end peripheral portion 28b and is spaced apart from the upper surface 14 by a distance D2. The second end 38 of the lower surface 26 is disposed between the central portion 30 and the second end peripheral portion 28b and is spaced apart from the upper surface 14 by a distance D2.

[0040] The first side portion 40 of the lower surface 26 is disposed between the central portion 30 and the first side peripheral portion 28a and is spaced apart from the upper surface 14 by a distance D3. The second side portion 42 of the lower surface 26 is disposed between the central portion 30 and the second side peripheral portion 28a and is spaced apart from the upper surface 14 by a distance D3.

[0041] exist Figure 4A and Figure 4B In the preferred embodiment shown, although the distance D1 between the upper surface 14 and the central portion 30 of the lower surface 26 varies within a certain range, and the distance D2 between the upper surface 14 and the first end 36 and the second end 38 of the lower surface 26 varies within a certain range, the maximum value of the distance D1 is greater than the maximum value of the distance D2. In addition, although the distance D3 between the upper surface 14 and the first side portion 40 and the second side portion 42 of the lower surface 26 varies within a certain range, the maximum value of the distance D2 is greater than the maximum value of the distance D3. This distance variation defines the overall height of the various portions of the table top 12 in its length and width, that is, the height is smaller toward the edges and the height is greater toward the center, accommodating the downward slope of the upper surface 14 from its outer edge 16 toward the drainage hole 18. It also provides more space near the side edges to accommodate the legs 50a and 50b, and provides more space near the end edges to accommodate the leg support brackets when the legs are in the folded position.

[0042] The refrigerated table 10 includes a first foldable leg assembly 44a and a second foldable leg assembly 44b that are movable between a folded position, in which the leg assemblies are placed against the lower surface 26 of the table top 12, and an extended position, in which the leg assemblies extend outwardly from the lower surface 26. The first foldable leg assembly 44a includes a first connecting rod 46a that is connected to the lower surface 26 of the table top 12 within the central portion 30. In a preferred embodiment, the first connecting rod 46a is secured to the lower surface 26 with a fastener such as a screw. A first transverse tube 48a is rotatably connected to the lower surface 26 adjacent and parallel to the outer edge of the first end perimeter portion 28b. The opposite ends of the first transverse tube 48a are rotatably received in holes of opposite side rails 64 connected to the first side perimeter portion 28a of the lower surface 26. The first transverse tube 48a is also rotatably secured to the lower surface 26 by a pair of retaining clips 56, which will be described in detail below.

[0043] The first foldable leg assembly 44a includes a first pair of legs 50a connected to and extending from the first transverse tube 48a and a first hinged bracket assembly 52a having a first end rotatably connected to the first pair of legs 50a and a second end rotatably connected to the first connecting rod 46a. The first hinged bracket assembly 52a includes an inner bracket portion 66a and an outer bracket portion 68a. The inner bracket portion 66a is rotatably connected to the first connecting rod 46a at its distal end and is rotatably connected to the inner end of the outer bracket portion 68a at its proximal end. The outer end of the outer bracket portion 68a is rotatably connected to the first pair of legs 50a.

[0044] like Figure 2B , 3B 4A and 4B, when the first foldable table leg assembly 44a is in the folded position, the first hinged bracket assembly 52a is folded downward against the first end 36 of the lower surface 26 of the table top 12, with one of the legs 50a placed against the first side 40 of the lower surface 26 and the other leg 50a placed against the second side 42 of the lower surface 26.

[0045] Similarly, the second foldable leg assembly 44b includes a second connecting rod 46b that is connected to the lower surface 26 of the tabletop 12 within the central portion 30. In a preferred embodiment, the second connecting rod 46b is secured to the lower surface 26 with a fastener such as a screw. A second transverse tube 48b is rotatably connected to the lower surface 26 adjacent to and parallel to the outer edge of the second end perimeter portion 28b. The opposite ends of the second transverse tube 48b are rotatably received in holes in the opposite side rails 64. The second transverse tube 48b is also rotatably secured to the lower surface 26 by a pair of retaining clips 56, which will be described in detail below.

[0046] The second foldable leg assembly 44b includes a second pair of legs 50b connected to and extending from the second transverse tube 48b and a second hinged bracket assembly 52b having a first end rotatably connected to the second pair of legs 50b and a second end rotatably connected to the second connecting rod 46b. The second hinged bracket assembly 52b includes an inner bracket portion 66b and an outer bracket portion 68b. The inner bracket portion 66b is rotatably connected to the second connecting rod 46b at its distal end and is rotatably connected to the inner end of the outer bracket portion 68b at its proximal end. The outer end of the outer bracket portion 68b is rotatably connected to the second pair of legs 50b.

[0047] like Figure 2B , 3B4A and 4B, when the second foldable leg assembly 44b is in the folded position, the second hinged bracket assembly 52b is folded downward against the second end 38 of the lower surface 26 of the table top 12, with one leg 50b placed against the first side 40 of the lower surface 26 and the other leg 50b placed against the second side 42 of the lower surface 26. It should be noted that the first side 40 and the second side 42 are wide enough to accommodate the legs 50a and 50b arranged side by side.

[0048] like Figure 4A , 5 6, a preferred embodiment of the table top 12 includes a fixing clip 56 integrally formed to the lower surface 26. Each fixing clip 56 includes two opposing portions disposed on either side of the transverse tubes 48a, 48b. A portion of each fixing clip 56 is integrally formed as a portion of the first end perimeter portion 28b, and another portion is integrally formed as a portion of the first end portion 36. At the other end of the table top 12, a portion of each fixing clip 56 is integrally formed as a portion of the second end perimeter portion 28b, and another portion is integrally formed as a portion of the second end portion 38. In a preferred embodiment, two fixing clips 56 are disposed at each end of the table top 12 to rotatably fix the first transverse tube 48a between the first end perimeter portion 28b and the first end portion 36, and to rotatably fix the second transverse tube 48b between the second end perimeter portion 28b and the second end portion 38. The retaining clips 56 are sized so that the cross tubes 48a, 48b can be pushed into a snap-fit ​​engagement that holds the cross tubes 48a, 48b in place while still allowing the cross tubes to rotate as the leg assemblies 44a, 44b move between the folded and extended positions.

[0049] like Figure 3B As shown, in the lower surface 26 of the table top 12, a plurality of first end peripheral recesses 54 and second end peripheral recesses 54 are distributed along the first end peripheral portion 28b and the second end peripheral portion 28b. The details of the recesses 54 are shown in FIG. Figure 5 and Figure 6 These recesses 54 provide additional structural support between the lower surface 26 and the upper surface 14 of the table top at locations where the first and second transverse tubes 48a, 48b connect to the first and second end perimeter portions 28b. In a preferred embodiment, five recesses 54 are provided in each end perimeter portion 28b.
