Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a kind of edge components of mahjong table, and a kind of mahjong table. BACKGROUND

[0002] Mahjong table as common entertainment furniture, is widely used in family, chess room and leisure place.For the sake of improving aesthetics, protecting the edge of table top and preventing mahjong tiles from falling, most mahjong tables are provided with upward or inward convex table edge structure on the edge, and the table edge is higher than the table top to prevent mahjong tiles from falling outside the mahjong machine, which can be made of plastic material and fixed on the outer periphery of the table body by suction molding, injection molding or molding process, and the whole is a continuous ring.

[0003] However, the traditional table edge structure has the following defects: the table edge of the existing mahjong table is mostly integrally formed or continuously connected at four corners, and the corner part is usually provided with an arc-shaped retaining edge, when mahjong tiles are placed in the corner of the table top, the edges and corners of the tiles are easy to interfere with the arc-shaped retaining edge, which causes the tiles to be unable to be placed completely flat, and the tiles are tilted or inclined, and multiple mahjong tiles cannot be placed integrally, which affects the visual neatness and the feeling of taking, as shown in Figure 1

[0004] Therefore, it is urgent to provide a new mahjong table component with reasonable structure, comfortable use and improved mahjong tile placement experience, especially in the optimization design of the corner structure of the table.

[0005] Any discussion of background art throughout the specification should in no way be considered as an acknowledgement that such art is prior art to the present application; any discussion of prior art throughout the specification is included for purposes of explanation. SUMMARY

[0006] The present application aims to provide a mahjong table component with reasonable structure and comfortable use.

[0007] The mahjong table component in the present application includes a plurality of table edges, which are in the shape of a long strip, and the end of the table edge is a table corner, which is used to be installed on the edge of the mahjong table, and the lowest part of the table corner is equal to or lower than the table top in the installed state.

[0008] The beneficial effects of the present application include: ​The table edge is used to connect with the table body, which can effectively prevent mahjong tiles from sliding along the table edge, and improve the safety and convenience during use. By simplifying the table corner structure, the material usage is reduced, the production cost is lowered, and the lightweight design is realized. The installation state refers to the usable state of the mahjong table components properly fixed on the mahjong table. In the installation state, the lowest part of the table corner is equal to or lower than the upper surface of the table top, forming an adaptive space (gap) in the table corner area, so that the mahjong tiles can be placed flat in the corner of the table top, and the edges of the mahjong tiles can be partially accommodated in the gap, avoiding the problem that the tile body cannot be completely placed due to the traditional arc-shaped blocking edge, and significantly improving the flatness of placement and the operation feel of the player. The structure makes the table corner area without protruding edges or sharp corners, and when the user's arm is placed on the table corner, the contact surface is smooth and comfortable, avoiding the phenomenon of pinching the hand, and further improving the comfort during use. Further, the width of the part of the table corner with the same height as the table top in the installation state is less than the length of the bevel of the front face of the matching mahjong tile. The matching mahjong tile refers to the tile used with the mahjong table. We call the face of the mahjong tile that shows the tile face (such as one tube, nine lines, etc.) as the front face, and the longer and shorter edges of the front face are the length and width of the mahjong tile, respectively. The height between the front face and the back face of the mahjong tile is the height of the mahjong tile. The mahjong tile of the table corner is usually placed with the front face facing down, so the gap width only needs to be less than the length of the bevel of the front face of the mahjong tile, which can ensure that the mahjong tile is difficult to slide out of the gap in the above placement state.

[0009] Further, the width of the part of the table corner with the same height as the table top in the installation state is less than the height of the matching mahjong tile. The height of the mahjong tile is the smallest value among the length, width and height of the mahjong tile, and the width of the part of the table corner with the same height as the table top is less than the height of the mahjong tile, which can prevent the mahjong tile from sliding out in any conventional placement posture.

[0010] Further, the installation state has a gap between adjacent table edges to form the table corner. The table edges are not connected to each other to form a gap, and the table edges in this scheme can be independently produced, installed and replaced, which has unique convenience.

[0011] Further, the adjacent table edges are connected and the connecting part is provided with a concave table corner. In this scheme, the four table edges of the mahjong table are an integral structure, and the overall structure is more stable. The lowest part of the concave table corner is equal to or lower than the table top.

[0012] Further, the table edge is made of vacuum forming process, and the edges of the outer surface of the table edge are provided with rounded corners.

[0013] The blister process can quickly produce large, thin-walled parts, and its molds are inexpensive, resulting in low production costs. Therefore, mahjong tables are well-suited for blister production. However, the blister process relies on air pressure differences to fit the material to the mold, and air can easily remain in right-angled areas, preventing the material from fully adhering, resulting in wrinkles or rounded corners. This prevents the production of a right-angled tabletop, and the edges of the mahjong tiles are obstructed at the corners, preventing them from being neatly placed close to the edges of the table, affecting the gaming experience. However, this solution allows the tiles to stand upright in the corners of the table. Rounded corners significantly enhance the tactile feel of the surface.

[0014] Furthermore, the wall thickness of the table edge is 1mm to 20mm, which is the size that can be achieved by conventional blister forming process.

[0015] A mahjong table is provided with the mahjong table component.

[0016] Furthermore, the mahjong table components are integrated with the table body. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0022] The present invention will be further described in detail below through specific embodiments: The reference numerals in the accompanying drawings of the specification include: table body 1, table edge 2, table corner 3.

[0023] This embodiment provides a mahjong table including mahjong table components, the structure of which is basically as follows Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the table includes four elongated edges, each 13mm wide and 6mm high. Each edge runs along the four edges of the mahjong table, corresponding to the front, back, left, and right sides. The table body and edges are integrally molded from ABS thermoplastic sheet material using a vacuum forming process, resulting in excellent molding precision and surface finish. The edges have a wall thickness of 1.5mm, and the corner transition areas on the outer surface are rounded to 2cm to enhance comfort and prevent scratches or irritation.

[0024] As Figure 3 shown, the four table edges are connected at the ends to form a ring structure, and the four corner areas are provided with downwardly recessed U-shaped grooves to form concave corner portions.

[0025] The mahjong tiles are provided with the mahjong table, and the face showing the tile face (such as one tube, nine pieces, etc.) is the front face. The longer and shorter edges of the front face are the length and width of the mahjong tile, and the height between the front face and the back face is the height of the mahjong tile.

[0026] The lowest part of the concave corner portion is parallel to the upper surface of the table top, and the width of the part with the same height as the table top is 15mm (see size d in Figure 5 This size is smaller than the height of the small mahjong tile (16mm), which can not only allow the tile corner to enter to achieve flat placement, but also prevent the whole tile from sliding out. Moreover, in most cases, since the mahjong tile is not vertically opposite the corner portion gap, but is inclined to the gap, the gap width is greater than the inclined corner width of the mahjong tile, which can ensure that the mahjong tile will not slide out in most cases.

[0027] In actual use, when the player stands the mahjong tile vertically in the corner of the table top, the side edge near the table corner can be partially embedded in the adaptive space, so that the tile body can be completely flat and flat on the table top, avoiding the tilt or tilt caused by the traditional arc edge block, significantly improving the placement neatness and taking feel.

[0028] In addition, since the corner portion has no protruding solid structure, when the user's arm is placed on the corner area of the table, it will not be pressed by any protruding edge, and the contact feeling is soft and comfortable, improving the ergonomics experience of long-time game.

[0029] In embodiment 2, the table edge and the table body can be a separate structure, and the table edge is a mahjong table component.

[0030] Each table edge is independently formed, and its two ends are free ends. When the adjacent two table edges are installed on the table body, a gap is left between the end portions, which forms a corner portion. The width of the gap is 15mm, and in the installed state, the lowest part of the corner portion (i.e. the bottom of the gap) is about 3mm lower than the upper surface of the table top, forming a downwardly recessed adaptive space (void).

[0031] The table edge is detachably connected to the mounting groove on the upper surface of the table body through a buckle structure, and the upper edge of the table edge is 6mm higher than the upper surface of the table top after installation. The table edge can also be adhered to the side wall of the table body.

[0032] The above are only embodiments of the present application, and those skilled in the art can make several modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present application, which should also be considered as the protection scope of the present application, and these will not affect the effect and practicability of the present application. The protection scope of the present application should be subject to the content of its claims, and the specific implementation mode and the like recorded in the specification can be used to explain the content of the claims.
