Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of folding table technology, and in particular to a side extension bracket for a folding table. Background Technology

[0002] Outdoor folding tables are popular among outdoor enthusiasts for their portability and space-saving features, including camping, picnicking, and fishing. However, to further expand the tabletop area to accommodate more people or items, many outdoor tables need to be equipped with side extension stands.

[0003] Currently, there are many pain points with outdoor table extension brackets on the market: First, in harsh or changeable outdoor environments, ease of installation and disassembly is crucial, and traditional brackets require tools or complex operations, which are time-consuming and laborious; second, outdoor equipment emphasizes portability, requiring the bracket to be compact and lightweight enough when stored, without affecting the overall folded volume of the table; finally, outdoor activities often require hanging lamps, backpacks, or small items, but existing brackets usually lack such functions. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a side extension bracket for a folding table that is not only easy to assemble and disassemble and convenient for outdoor use, but also enhances its outdoor practicality.

[0005] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] A side extension support for a folding table includes two table beams arranged at intervals, a side beam assembly, lap joints pivotally connected to both ends of the side beam assembly and resting on the corresponding table beams, and a support frame inserted into both ends of the side beam assembly and extending to the outside of the side beam assembly. The support frame is used to carry items. When the lap joint of the support frame is inserted into the side beam assembly, it can restrict the pivoting of the lap joints to prevent the lap joints from detaching from the corresponding table beams.

[0007] Furthermore, the overlapping end of the connecting member has a first abutting portion and a second abutting portion located below the first abutting portion. The first abutting portion is located between the second abutting portion and the pivot end of the connecting member. The first abutting portion and the second abutting portion abut against the upper and lower surfaces of the corresponding table beam, respectively.

[0008] Furthermore, both the first and second abutting parts are cylindrical, and the circumferential surfaces of the first and second abutting parts abut against the upper and lower surfaces of the corresponding table beams.

[0009] Furthermore, the side beam assembly includes a hollow side beam extending through its axis and first insertion blocks respectively inserted into both ends of the hollow side beam; the overlapping member is pivotally connected to the corresponding first insertion block via a pivot that passes through the hollow side beam and the first insertion block; the side of the hollow side beam facing the end of the table beam is the inner side of the hollow side beam, and both ends of the inner side of the hollow side beam are provided with storage notches for the overlapping member to be screwed into or out of the hollow side beam.

[0010] Furthermore, the pivot end of the lap joint has a first insertion hole, the first insertion block has a second insertion hole, and the two insertion ends of the support frame pass downward through the hollow side beam and the corresponding second insertion hole and first insertion hole, respectively.

[0011] Furthermore, the support frame is a rod-shaped bent component, having an integrally formed support portion that is U-shaped and insert portions that extend outward from both ends of the support portion. The support portion is horizontally arranged and its opening faces the outside of the hollow side beam, and the openings of the two insert portions face downward.

[0012] Furthermore, the upper surfaces of both ends of the hollow side beam are provided with openings facing upwards and communicating with the outer side of the hollow side beam, for the top wall of the insertion part to extend into the hollow side beam; the upper surface of the first insertion block is provided with a receiving groove communicating with the side facing the outer side of the hollow side beam and for accommodating the top wall of the insertion part, the receiving groove being located directly below the opening; the second insertion hole is located near the end of the receiving groove close to the inner side of the hollow side beam.

[0013] Furthermore, it also includes two second insertion blocks that are respectively inserted into the ends of the table beam. The second insertion block has an insertion part whose inner end is inserted into the end of the table beam and a hanging part located at the outer end of the insertion part and extending toward the other end of the hollow side beam. A gap is formed between the outer end face of the hanging part and the insertion part, allowing the inner side wall of the hollow side beam to extend in. The lower end faces of both ends of the hollow side beam are provided with a first rectangular notch that penetrates to the end and to both side walls. The upper surface of the outer end of the first insertion block is provided with a second rectangular notch that penetrates to the lower surface of the first insertion block and the side facing the end of the table beam. The second rectangular notch and the inner side wall of the hollow side beam together form a hook for hanging on the corresponding hanging part.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] First, it's easy to assemble and disassemble: No tools are needed. Users simply align the side beam assembly with the end of the table beam, manually rotate the lap joint on the side beam assembly so that the first and second abutting parts of the lap joint press firmly against the upper and lower surfaces of the corresponding table beam, respectively. Then, insert the connector of the support frame into the side beam assembly to complete the quick installation. Conversely, the opposite steps allow for quick disassembly. This design perfectly meets the efficiency and convenience requirements of outdoor activities, allowing for easy operation even in dark environments or in inclement weather.

[0016] Secondly, it is easy to carry outdoors: the frame adopts a lightweight design, the side beams are hollow, and the load-bearing frame adopts a rod-shaped bending design, which will not significantly increase the weight of the backpack; when storing, the connecting parts can be completely screwed into the first notch of the hollow side beam, and the load-bearing frame can be stacked with the side beam components, easily stuffed into the side pocket of a camping backpack or the gap of a car trunk, without taking up core storage space.

[0017] Third, enhanced outdoor practicality: The U-shaped support frame naturally forms an efficient guardrail and suspension system, allowing users to hang camping lights, portable speakers, towels, backpack straps, and even small kitchen utensils, greatly facilitating outdoor activities while freeing up desktop space. This functional advantage is difficult to find in ordinary extension brackets. Attached Figure Description
