[0029] The technical solutions of this patent embodiment will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this patent, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this patent, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this patent.

[0030] More and more people enjoy traveling by motorcycle, but motorcycles often cannot carry much luggage. This patent provides a folding table structure for the convenience of motorcycle users. The motorcycle luggage rack is a functional component. The two most common types of luggage racks are rear luggage racks and side racks. They are typically frames made of bent and welded metal tubing (steel pipes, aluminum alloy pipes).

[0031] The purpose of this patent is to provide a folding table suitable for motorcycles, which can be easily installed on the motorcycle's luggage rack. When resting during a journey, motorcycle users can directly open the folding table on the motorcycle to place items.

[0032] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 This folding table for motorcycles, when not in use, resembles a thin, lightweight suitcase. It includes a tabletop 1, a front panel 2, and support components. It fits snugly against the rear of the motorcycle, without affecting wind resistance or aesthetics.

[0033] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 One side of the tabletop 1 is hinged to one side of the front panel 4, allowing the tabletop to rotate relative to the front panel between an unfolded position and a folded position.

[0034] A support assembly is provided between the tabletop 1 and the front panel 4;

[0035] like Figure 3 , Figure 7 The component includes two sets of linkage mechanisms arranged symmetrically on the left and right sides. Each set is formed by a first support rod 19 and a second support rod 20 hinged together by a pin. One end of the first support rod 19 is hinged to the lower surface of the tabletop 1; one end of the second support rod 20 is hinged to the inner surface of the front plate 4.

[0036] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, this linkage mechanism forms a "scissor-type" support structure. When the tabletop 1 is lifted, the linkage mechanism moves accordingly until the first support rod 19 and the second support rod 20 extend to a near-straight line (with slight interference), reaching a stable state, thus firmly supporting the tabletop 1 at approximately a 90-degree angle to the front panel 4. The tabletop 1 is then horizontally positioned and can be used to place items. The tabletop 1 can be made of metal.

[0037] like Figure 4 The rear panel 3 can be used as a mounting surface for installing parts.

[0038] like Figure 4 , Figure 9 The rear plate 3 is provided with a fixing hook 18, and one or more fixing hooks 18 (preferably plastic parts) and a locking mechanism are provided on the rear plate 3. The locking mechanism includes a recess and a built-in, spring-loaded latch 17.

[0039] In this patent, a bracket 28 and a support member 30 are provided on the motorcycle luggage rack.

[0040] The rear plate 3 is connected to the motorcycle body via a fixing hook 18 and a bracket 28.

[0041] like Figure 9 , Figure 10 The bracket 28 is a motorcycle luggage rack, a frame made of bent and welded metal tubing (steel or aluminum alloy). A support member 30 (preferably plastic) is fixed to the bracket 28, and its shape is an outwardly convex wedge or cylinder. The support member 30 can be made of plastic and has a certain degree of elasticity.

[0042] like Figure 13 The support member 30 can be inserted into the recess 31 on the rear plate 3 and simultaneously hooked with the built-in, resilient hook 17.

[0043] During installation, first, align and snap the fixing hook 18 on the back of the folding table body onto the crossbar of the bracket 28 (e.g., Figure 12 (as shown)

[0044] Then, rotate the entire table (in the closed state) upwards, causing the support member 30 on the bracket 28 to slide into the recess 31 on the back of the back panel 3. During this process, the inclined surface of the support member 30 will press against the latch 17, causing it to temporarily retract. Once the support member 30 is fully in place, the latch 17 will spring back under the action of the spring and hook onto the neck of the support member 30 (e.g., Figure 13 As shown in the image, this locks the table in place, preventing it from bouncing or falling off during travel.

[0045] During disassembly, the user can release the latch 17 through the release mechanism on the rear panel 3 to flip the table upwards and remove it.

[0046] When the folding tabletop is needed, the front tabletop 1 is supported by a support rod. At this time, the tabletop 1 and the front panel 4 form a right angle under the support of the support rod, and items can be placed on the surface of the front tabletop 1. This patent also includes a locking structure 13 and a button 16, which locks the entire table when the patent is in the folded state.

[0047] Furthermore, this patent provides further details regarding the locking mechanism for the folding state of the folding table body:

[0048] The core function of the locking structure (13) is to securely lock the tabletop (1), front panel (4), and rear panel (3) together when the folding table is in the folded state, forming a compact whole and preventing them from accidentally springing open due to bumps during riding. As the main lock of the device, it ensures safety and reliability during transportation. Its structure and working principle are similar to those of a luggage lock. It can consist of a lock case (containing a latch, spring, and transmission mechanism) installed on the rear panel 3, a corresponding latch (installed on the edge of the tabletop 1), and a trigger button 16.

[0049] When the user closes the tabletop 1 downwards, the latch on the edge of the tabletop 1 presses against the beveled surface of the latch inside the lock case. The latch retracts under pressure and, under the action of the spring, quickly pops out after the latch is in place, automatically locking into the groove of the latch, thus completing the locking (with a "click" sound). This process does not require a key and can achieve one-button closure.

[0050] When the user needs to unfold the desktop, they press button 16. Button 16, through an internal linkage or lever mechanism, drives the latch to retract backward against the spring force, disengaging it from the latch groove. Once the latch is disengaged, the user can easily lift the desktop 1.

[0051] Additionally, the fixing mechanism used to secure the folding table to the motorcycle mount is described below:

[0052] The structure is primarily designed to facilitate quick and easy installation of the folding table, enabling rapid and secure connection and separation between the table body and the motorcycle mount (28). It must withstand multidimensional vibrations and impacts during riding to ensure the table does not detach from the vehicle, while simultaneously allowing users to easily install and disassemble it by hand, providing ultimate convenience. This mechanism is achieved through the combined action of components mounted on the rear panel 3 of the folding table and components mounted on the motorcycle mount 28.

[0053] Among them, the fixed hook 18: usually 1-2, made of high-strength engineering plastic or metal. Its primary function is initial positioning and load-bearing. During installation, it is first hung on the crossbar of the bracket (28) to bear the vertical downward weight of the entire table (such as... Figure 12 (As shown).

[0054] Recess 31: A groove or hole on the back of the rear plate 3, the shape of which matches the support 30, for accommodating the support 30.

[0055] Hook 17: A movable (usually with spring return) pawl or hook located in or near the recess. This is the primary anti-disengagement locking element used to prevent the table from bouncing up and down and tipping backward.

[0056] Support 30: A protruding component, preferably a wedge-shaped, cylindrical, or T-shaped block made of plastic. Its functions are: first, to serve as a guide surface to guide the table body to rotate into place; second, to serve as a locking surface, which is hooked by the latch 17; and third, to serve as a load-bearing surface, which cooperates with the recessed part to resist the torque during riding.

[0057] When using it, the following steps are included:

[0058] Mounting (preliminary positioning): The user tilts the back panel 3 of the folding table at a certain angle so that the upper fixing hook 18 is aligned with and snapped into the crossbar of the bracket (28);

[0059] Rotation (Guided Positioning): The user rotates the table body around the fixed hook 18 as an axis. During this process, the inclined surface of the support member 30 on the bracket 28 begins to contact and enter the recess of the back panel 3.

[0060] Locking (Final Fixation): When the table body rotates to be parallel with the support 28, the support 30 is fully inserted into the bottom of the recess. During this process, the side of the support 30 presses against the inclined surface of the hook 17, forcing it to rotate or translate (compress the spring). When the support 30 reaches the designed position, its neck (below a groove or flange) is aligned with the spring-reset hook 17; the hook (17) "clicks" into the support 30, completing the final locking (as shown in the image). Figure 13 (As shown).

[0061] The connecting rod can be used to pull the hook 17, causing it to rotate against the spring force, thereby releasing the hook on the support member 30. Then, the support member 30 is disengaged from the recess, and finally the fixing hook 18 is removed from the crossbar, completing the entire disassembly process.

[0062] In summary, this patented folding table device technical solution protects two inventive points: a foldable table suitable for motorcycles and a locking structure, which allows users to mount the patented folding table on their motorcycles, securely fix it to the motorcycle bracket, and also remove it to install other accessories.

[0063] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this patent, and not to limit them; although this patent has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this patent.
