Description

Title of the invention: Outdoor extendable table Technical field

[0001] The present invention lies in the technical field of outdoor extendable tables, and more particularly relates to a type of outdoor extendable table. Technical background

[0002] Nowadays, people are increasingly enjoying outdoor activities, and many have fallen in love with camping. Outdoor extendable tables are designed to be deployed during outdoor activities and, for easy transport, are usually foldable and compact.

[0003] A search of existing literature revealed Chinese Patent No. CN202320308144.8, which describes a height-adjustable outdoor folding table. This table can be disassembled for transportation and provides a stable structure once assembled. In addition, the table legs are height-adjustable to adapt to different terrains, making it convenient and easy to use. It occupies little space and is easy to transport, making it ideal for outdoor use.

[0004] However, this technical solution has drawbacks. Although these outdoor extendable tables are easy to store and transport, their table surface is limited and is not suitable when there are many objects to be placed. In order to improve the functionality of outdoor extendable tables, the present invention proposes a new type of table that not only folds and stores easily for transport, but can also be adjusted in height and has an extendable top that can be deployed to provide a larger surface for storing utensils, making it more suitable for outdoor activities.

[0005] Therefore, the present invention has been designed to improve and solve the above-mentioned problems. After extensive research and rigorous application of scientific principles, we have finally developed a technical solution with a rational design that effectively overcomes the above-mentioned defects.

[0006] It is important to note that the information presented in this technical background section is intended solely to enhance understanding of the general background of the present invention. It should not be construed as an acknowledgment or implication, in any form, that such information constitutes technical knowledge already known to professionals in the field. Content of the invention

[0007] The present invention relates to an outdoor extendable table that solves the problems raised in the aforementioned technical context. It is not only easy to fold and store for transport, but can also be adjusted in height and has an extendable top that can be deployed to provide a larger surface for storing utensils, making it more suitable for outdoor activities.

[0008] The technical solution to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: an outdoor extendable table comprising an outdoor table body, a first table top, a second table top, support tubes, and positioning pins. The outdoor table body is composed of two parts that are connected by rotation. The first table top and the second table top are each associated with a part of the outdoor table body. A connection base is fixed to the bottom of each part of the outdoor table body. Four support tubes are connected by rotation to the connection base, each near both ends of the base. Support rods slide inside the support tubes and are fixed to a support base. A support bolt passes through the support rods. Connection blocks are fixed on each side of the outdoor table body, near the connection.Positioning bolts pass through the connecting blocks. Pin sleeves are installed on the support tubes and the connecting base, and positioning pins are used to position the support tubes and the connecting base.

[0009] In addition to the basic technical solution described above, the present invention can be improved in the following manner:

[0010] Furthermore, the outdoor table body is provided with sliding grooves corresponding to the first table top, and the first table top has positioning screws screwed on each side. Oblong holes are opened on each side of the outdoor table body in correspondence with the positioning screws.

[0011] Further, the first tray has a lifting groove corresponding to the second tray, and the second tray has a rotatable adjustment screw at the bottom. The outdoor table body has a threaded sleeve fixed at the bottom, corresponding to the adjustment screw, the threaded sleeve being screwed onto the adjustment screw.

[0012] In addition, travel stops are attached to the top of the support rods. These travel stops fit inside the support tubes and slide along them. The diameter of the travel stops is larger than that of the sliding holes located at the bottom of the support tubes, corresponding to the support rods.

[0013] Furthermore, the support tubes have through holes uniformly distributed on their outer wall, corresponding to the support bolts.

[0014] In addition, casters are attached to each side of the support base and the connecting base, near the two ends.

[0015] The present invention relates to an outdoor extendable table which has the following advantages:

[0016] 1. Once folded, the extendable table can be easily transported using the Casters located on its base. The two parts of the main body of the outdoor table can be rotated and unfolded. Once unfolded, the positioning screws are passed through the connecting blocks to secure the two parts of the main body of the outdoor table in the unfolded position. The support tubes located at the base of the two connecting bases can be rotated and unfolded. Once unfolded, the positioning pins are passed through the pin sleeves to secure them in position. This allows the support tubes, their lower support rods, and their support bases to support the main body of the outdoor table, thus completing the unfolding of the table. This folding structure makes it easier to fold the entire extendable table, and the folded extendable table takes up less space, making it easy to load and transport, making it more suitable for outdoor use.

[0017] 2. After loosening the positioning screws, the first tray can be slid and unfolded into the main body of the outdoor table. Once unfolded, the positioning screws can be tightened to secure it in position. Rotating the adjustment screw inside the threaded sleeve raises and lowers the second tabletop into the main body of the outdoor table. Lifting the main body of the outdoor table fills the gap created by sliding and unfolding the first tabletop, allowing the tabletop to be unfolded for use, giving the outdoor extendable table a larger usable surface area that can accommodate more items.

[0018] 3. After unscrewing the support bolts, the support rods can be extended and retracted into the support tubes, allowing the height of the extendable table to be adjusted according to actual needs. Once the adjustment is complete, the support bolts can be passed through the through holes in the support tubes and support rods to fix them in position, allowing the main body of the outdoor table to be used at the desired height.

[0019] 4. This outdoor extendable table is not only easy to fold and carry, but it can also be adjusted in height as needed. It has an extendable tray that can be extended and unfolded to provide a larger loading area for items, making it more suitable for outdoor activities.
