Standing table trolley

Abstract

A kick scooter (1) that can be converted into a standing table, comprising a frame (2) consisting of a base frame element (9), a front wheel suspension (10), a base frame (11), a rear wheel support (6) and a fork (3), wherein the position of the frame elements can be changed so that the scooter frame (2) can be transformed into a standing table frame (22), a front wheel (4) with an axle (15) that serves to attach the front wheel (4) to the frame (2) and to form the standing table top.

Description

The present invention describes a convertible standing table that can be transformed into a kick scooter (1). A person can use this scooter to travel to an event. On site, the scooter components can be easily and quickly converted into a standing table. The large front wheel (4) of the scooter is attached to a single-sided front fork (3), which allows the front wheel to have a flat surface on one side. The front wheel can be easily removed from the fork mount of the roller. The frame (2) is partially foldable and later forms a stable base for the standing table. The fork can be positioned in such a way that it supports the front wheel (4) horizontally. The rear wheel mount (6) is also foldable and can be swung into place to save space after the rear wheel (7) has been removed and the frame erected. After the frame of the scooter has been folded and rotated 90 degrees, the front wheel (4) can be attached to the handlebar (5) to form the tabletop. The rear wheel (7) can then be stored under the tabletop. After use, the standing table can be converted back into a kick scooter (1) and used for the journey home or onward travel. The standing table scooter (1) is equipped with a brake, lights, and reflectors. The conversion from kick scooter to standing table can be carried out by one person in less than a minute. Background of the invention At parties and other events, guests often prefer to stand at high-top tables. These allow maximum flexibility for guests to change location and place drinks (e.g., bottles, glasses, etc.). However, standing tables are often unavailable at many events, or only available in limited numbers. Most standing tables are heavy, one-piece constructions and therefore difficult to transport. For this reason, large vehicles or several people are needed for transport. State of the art There are known variations of standing tables that consist of several parts. These can be transported in a space-saving manner, but are still bulky and usually have to be transported by vehicle over longer distances (> 100m). In addition, the individual parts have to be assembled on site. The individual parts are often not firmly connected to each other, so that they can fall apart when lifted. There are also standing tables that are collapsible or foldable. These also present the problem of transport, requiring additional means of transport or people. Specific problem: It would be advantageous if a person could easily and quickly assemble a standing table without additional tools, vehicles or equipment and transport it over longer distances. Furthermore, it would be a great advantage if the person could use the standing table to travel to and from the event venue. Description of the images Fig. 1.1 shows the assembled kick scooter (1) in a first side view, ready to ride. The unit consists of a frame (2), a fork (3) for guiding the front wheel (4), a handlebar (5), a rear wheel mount (6), a rear wheel (7), and a footplate (8). The frame (2) is composed of the base frame components (9), a front wheel suspension (10), and a floor frame (11). The front wheel suspension (10) supports the fork (3) and is connected to the base frame (9) via a joint (12). The main part (13) of the floor frame (11) is rigidly connected to the base frame (9). Another part of the floor frame (11) is a support frame (14). This support frame (14) is rotatably connected to the main part (13) of the base frame. In Fig. 1.1, the support frame (14) is pivoted into an interference-free position and locked. This position allows for comfortable riding of the scooter without collision with the rider's leg.The front wheel (4) is rotatably attached to the leg of the single-sided fork (3) on this side by an axle (15). The rear wheel mount (6) is rotatably mounted to the frame by an axle (18). Figs. 1 and 2 show the assembled scooter in the opposite side view, ready to ride. The front wheel (4) has a flat surface (16) without a visible axle. The single-sided fork (3) can have a right or left fork leg. Fig. 2 shows the standing table scooter (1) in the first transformation step. The support frame (14) was pivoted parallel to the main part (13) of the base frame (11) and fixed in this position by an end stop (17). Fig. 3 shows the standing table scooter (1) in the second transformation step. The standing table scooter is pivoted from the horizontal position (Alpha = 0°) to a vertical position (Alpha = 90°) via the rear wheel (7). Fig. 4 shows the frame of the standing table roller (1) in the final table frame position.The standing table scooter (1) rests on the floor with its base frame (11). The rear wheel bracket (6) with rear wheel (7) is pivoted to the side via the hinge axis (18). Fig. 5 shows the next transformation step. The front wheel (4) and rear wheel (7) have been removed. The rear wheel bracket (6) and footplate (8) are pivoted towards the center of the frame (2). Fig. 6 shows the next transformation step. The front wheel suspension (10) is pivoted via the hinge (12) until the fork leg (19) is vertical. The fork leg (19) is attached to the base frame component (9) with a screw or bolt (20). The standing table frame (22) is in its final position. The handlebar bracket (21) has a bore for receiving the axle (15) of the front wheel (4). Fig. 7 shows the final step of the transformation. The front wheel (4) was inserted into the handlebar mount (20) with the axle (15). The flat surface (16) of the front wheel (4) now forms the tabletop.The front wheel (3) can be secured against twisting or being pulled out if necessary. The rear wheel can be placed and attached below the tabletop (4) or to the frame (2) so that it does not interfere when using the standing desk. The conversion from a standing table to a kick scooter is done in reverse order. The sequence of the conversion steps can be varied. The standing table scooter can be equipped with a lighting system, reflectors, and brakes.
