Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of furniture, and particularly relates to a folding table and chair. Background Art
[0002] As a common piece of furniture in daily life, a table and chair mainly consists of a table and a stool. There are currently two common types of connections between the stool and the table: integral connection and split connection. The integral type is commonly seen in the table and chair combinations in school cafeterias, and the split type is more common in the independent tables and chairs commonly used at home. Regardless of which type, the usage function of the table and chair is relatively single. When not in use, it also occupies a relatively large space and has poor practicality. Content of the Utility Model
[0003] In order to solve the above technical problems, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a folding table and chair, which solves the problem that the existing tables and chairs have relatively single functions.
[0004] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is as follows: A folding table and chair includes a table frame, a tabletop hinged to the upper end of the table frame, and a stool hinged to the side of the table frame. The folding table and chair further includes a bracket, which is hinged to the table frame so that it can be folded or unfolded relative to the table frame. When unfolded, it is used to support the tabletop to maintain the unfolded state of the tabletop. When folded, it allows the tabletop to rotate along its hinge with the table frame and then fold close to the table frame.
[0005] Furthermore, there are two stools, and the two stools are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the table frame with the hinge point between the bracket and the table frame as the symmetry line.
[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, with the arrangement of the two stools, when the tabletop folds close to the table board, by rotating the two stools around the table frame and closing them together, the product can be used as a double-person armchair. And when the two stools are unfolded around the table frame, it can also be used as a combination of a stool and a table, greatly improving the diversity of the product's usage.
[0007] Furthermore, there are two side frames on both sides of the table frame, and one side of the stool is correspondingly hinged to the side frame.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the side frame is provided, which facilitates the connection between the table frame and the two stools. When the stools are closed to the front side of the table frame, there is a certain gap between the stools and the table frame, so as to reserve a space for the tabletop when the tabletop is flipped and closed to the front side of the table frame.
[0009] Furthermore, one side of the tabletop is correspondingly hinged between the upper ends of the two side frames.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, in this design, when the tabletop rotates around the side frame to form a right angle between the tabletop and the table frame, the upper end surface of the tabletop is flush with the upper end of the table frame, improving the flatness of the plane where the tabletop is located.
[0011] Furthermore, a limiting member is provided on the table frame to limit and support the tabletop when the tabletop folds and closes to the table frame.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of the limiting member can support the tabletop that folds and closes to the table frame, and then makes an acute angle among the tabletop, the hinge joint between the tabletop and the table frame, and the table frame, that is, the tabletop has a certain inclination angle. When the product is used as a double chair, it can provide a support for the human back.
[0013] Furthermore, a stable structure is provided at the contact and support part between the support and the tabletop to detachably fix the two relatively when the support supports the tabletop.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of this stable structure helps to improve the stability of the support for the tabletop. The stable structure can adopt existing plugging or clamping methods, etc.
[0015] Furthermore, an angle limiting structure is provided between the stool and the table frame to limit the rotation angle of the stool along the hinge joint of the table frame.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the angle limiting structure helps to limit the rotation angle of the stool along the table frame to ensure that the stool remains stable when it is unfolded to the best sitting angle on the table frame. The best angle is preferably that the stool and the tabletop are arranged on the same horizontal line.
[0017] Furthermore, the angle limiting structure includes arc-shaped plates respectively provided on the stool and the table frame. Arc-shaped grooves are opened on both of the two arc-shaped plates. The two arc-shaped grooves coincide during the process of the stool rotating along the table frame, and a limiting pin is movably arranged within the coincidence area of the two.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the limiting pin is slidably arranged in the two arc-shaped grooves. In this way, when the stool rotates to keep the best angle with the tabletop, the swimming limiting pin abuts against the end of the arc-shaped groove, thereby preventing the stool from continuing to rotate.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present utility model are as follows:
[0020] 1. In the present utility model, by hinging the support to the table frame, when the product is used as a chair or stool, the support can be unfolded from the table frame to support the unfolded tabletop, thereby maintaining the unfolded state of the tabletop for use. The stool can be rotated and unfolded along the side hinge with the table frame to form a table and stool state with a table and a stool. When the stool rotates under the unfolded tabletop, the product can be used as a single table. When the support rotates along its hinge with the table frame and folds onto the table frame, allowing the tabletop to rotate and fold onto the front end of the table frame, the product can be transformed into a bench in cooperation with the stool. Thus, the product can be switched among three states: table, table and stool, and chair, greatly improving the diversity of use of the product. At the same time, the bench state also relatively reduces the volume of the product, facilitating transportation. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0033] The present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0034] Refer to Figure 1 , (for the convenience of description, the front-back relationship described below is based on the attached Figure 1A folding table and chair (identified as such in the middle), comprising a table frame 100, a tabletop 200 and stools 300. One side of the tabletop 200 is hinged to the upper end of the table frame 100 through a hinge 500, so that the tabletop 200 can be turned up and down relative to the table frame 100. The stools 300 are arranged on both sides of the table frame 100. Taking two stools 300 as an example, the sides of the two stools 300 are respectively hinged to both sides of the table frame 100. The stools 300 can rotate around their hinges with the table frame 100 in the horizontal direction to the front side of the table frame 100 or rotate and unfold to both sides of the table frame 100. A bracket 400 is hinged to the front side of the table frame 100. The bracket 400 can rotate around its hinge with the table frame 100, and then form a right angle with the table frame 100, that is, in an unfolded state in a "T" shape in a top view, or fold and close onto the table frame 100, forming a parallel or nearly parallel setting with the front side of the table frame 100. Through the above settings, the product can be in three states. One is the table state, at this time the tabletop 200 is unfolded at a right angle to the upper end of the table frame 100, and the bracket 400 is in the unfolded state to support the tabletop 200. At the same time, the two stools 300 are located at the lower end of the tabletop 200;
[0035] Another state is: the table and stool state (as shown in Figure 1 and 2 ). After the stools 300 are rotated along the hinges of the table frame 100, the two stools 300 can be rotated from the front side of the table frame 100 to both sides of the tabletop 200, and then the table and stool state with the tabletop 200 and the stools 300 is formed;
[0036] Finally, it is the chair state (as shown in Figure 3 ). At this time, the bracket 400 can be rotated to a parallel state with the table frame 100 first. At this time, since the tabletop 200 lacks support, it can be rotated to the front side of the table frame 100 to be set together with the table frame 100. The stools 300 are located at the front side of the table frame 100. In this way, the tabletop 200 can be used as the backrest of a double chair, and thus the chair state is formed.
[0037] In this embodiment, by switching the three states of the product, the versatility of the product can be enriched, and when the product is in the double chair state, its size can also be effectively reduced, improving the transportation convenience and practicality of the product.
[0038] Referring to Figure 2 , in this embodiment, in order to provide reserved space for the tabletop 200 to rotate and fold onto the table frame 100 when the product is switched from the table and stool state to the chair state, two side frames 110 can be arranged on both sides of the table frame 100. The side frames 110 are located on the front end faces on both sides of the table frame 100. The sides of the stools 300 are hinged to the sides of the side frames 110. In this way, due to the existence of the side frames 110, when the stools 300 are flipped and folded to the front side of the table frame 100 (as shown in Figure 3), there is a certain accommodating space between the stool 300 and the table frame 100 to facilitate the accommodation of the tabletop 200.
[0039] In this embodiment, the tabletop 200 is located between the two side frames 110. Both sides of the tabletop 200 can be pivotally connected to the side frames 110 through rotating shafts. Of course, it can also be hinged to the upper end of the table frame 100. By being pivotally connected to the side frames 110, when the tabletop 200 is unfolded, the upper end surface of the tabletop 200, the upper end of the table frame 100, and the upper ends of the side frames 110 can be kept flat.
[0040] Based on the above embodiment, referring to Figure 1 , when the product is set in the chair state, in order to make the tabletop 200 have a certain inclination angle to improve the comfort of personnel relying on it, preferably, a limiting member 700 is provided on the table frame 100 or the side frame 110. When the tabletop 200 rotates and closes to the front side of the table frame 100, the lower end surface of the tabletop 200 correspondingly abuts against the limiting member 700, so that an acute angle is formed between the tabletop 200 and the table frame 100, thereby improving the comfort when personnel rely on it.
[0041] In this embodiment, the limiting member 700 can be a protruding rod-shaped structure or other structures, as long as it can limit and support the tabletop 200 when the tabletop 200 rotates to the front end of the table frame 100 and does not affect the normal rotation of the support 400 on the table frame 100. It can also be other structures, which can be made of a certain elastic material or a rigid material. Details are not described here.
[0042] Based on the above embodiment, in order to improve the stable effect when the support 400 supports the tabletop 200, a stable structure can be provided between the support 400 and the tabletop 200, and the two are detachably connected through the stable structure. Specifically, as an embodiment of the stable structure: the stable structure can be a groove provided on the back surface of the tabletop 200 to cooperate with the end of the support 400. When the support 400 supports on the tabletop 200, the end of the support 400 is correspondingly inserted into the groove, thereby realizing the limiting support for the tabletop 200.
[0043] As another embodiment of the stable structure, an elastic buckle similar to a "U" shape can be provided on the support 400. Its open end has a certain elasticity and can elastically contract to change its opening size. A protruding locking rod is provided at the corresponding position of the tabletop 200. The locking rod can squeeze the opening of the elastic buckle to deform and enter the inside of the elastic buckle, and after the opening is reset, it is locked inside the elastic buckle. In this way, the detachable and convenient connection between the support 400 and the tabletop 200 can also be realized.
[0044] As another embodiment of the stable structure, the stable structure can also be a magnetic part provided on the bracket 400 and the tabletop 200. By utilizing the magnetic attraction of the magnetic part, the detachable and convenient connection between the bracket 400 and the tabletop 200 can be realized. Of course, there are many other detachable connection structures in the prior art. As long as the bracket 400 supports the tabletop 200 and completes the detachable locking between the two, it can be other structures, which will not be specifically described one by one here.
[0045] Based on the above embodiments, in order to limit the rotation angle between the stool 300 and the table frame 100 and prevent the stool 300 from rotating too large an angle along the front end face of the table frame 100, and for the rear side of the flipped table frame 100, an angle limiting structure can be provided between the stool 300 and the side frame 110 to limit the rotation angle of the stool 300 along the side frame 110 to the front end of the tabletop 200. As an embodiment of the angle limiting structure:
[0046] Referring to FIGS. 1 and 4, arc-shaped plates 600 can be respectively provided at the adjacent positions of the side frame 110 and the stool 300. Grooves are formed on the arc-shaped plates 600. The two arc-shaped plates 600 are arranged adjacent to each other vertically, so that the two arc-shaped grooves 610 partially overlap or completely overlap during the rotation of the stool 300. A limiting pin 620 is slidably arranged in the overlapping area of the two arc-shaped grooves 610. By utilizing the limiting effect of the limiting pin 620, when the stool 300 rotates around the table frame 100 to both sides of the table frame 100 (such as Figure 1 the state shown), at this time, the limiting pin 620 is at the ends of the two arc-shaped grooves 610. Then, through the limiting effect of the limiting pin 620, the stool 300 is prevented from continuing to rotate. And when the product is in the chair state (such as Figure 3 shown), at this time, the two arc-shaped grooves 610 overlap.
[0047] In this embodiment, the arc design of the arc-shaped plate 600 is to conform to the movement track of the stool 300 when rotating around the table frame 100 to ensure that the two arc-shaped grooves 610 can maintain at least partial overlap.
[0048] As another embodiment of the angle limiting structure, referring to Figure 4 FIG. (A) therein, different from the above embodiment, the limiting pin 620 can be fixed on any one of the two arc-shaped plates 600, and the limiting pin 620 penetrates through the arc-shaped groove 610 of the other arc-shaped plate 600, and the above effect can also be achieved.
[0049] As the third embodiment of the angle limiting structure, in this embodiment, referring to Figure 4(B) In the figure, the arc-shaped groove 610 may not be provided on the arc-shaped plate 600, and the limiting flange 630 may be provided at the end of the arc-shaped plate 600. However, when the two stools 300 rotate to the maximum angle on both sides of the table frame 100, the two limiting flanges 630 on the arc-shaped plate 600 abut against each other, thereby preventing the stools 300 from continuing to rotate along the table frame 100 and completing the limitation of the stools 300.
[0050] It can be imagined that as long as the rotation angle of the stool 300 along the table frame 100 can be limited, the angle limiting structure can also be other structures or components. For example, it can be a telescopic rod, which will not be specifically described here.
[0051] In this embodiment, the stool 300 includes stool legs 310 and a stool frame 320, and the stool frame 320 is used for laying a stool surface.
[0052] Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, it should be clearly understood that various changes and modifications can be made to the present invention for those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
