[0011] Hereinafter, a camper table according to one embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an installed storage table according to one embodiment of the present invention, as seen obliquely from above, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view of an installed camper table, as seen obliquely from below. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a storage table, reference numeral 2 denotes a folding table, reference numeral 5 denotes a support member, reference numeral 8 denotes a storage container, reference numeral 10 denotes a top plate portion, and reference numeral 100 denotes a camper table.

[0012] 1 and 2, the camper table 100 includes, for example, a storage table 1 and a storage container 8 that stores the storage table 1. The camper table 100 is installed, for example, in a living space formed in the rear of a camper (not shown). Specifically, it is installed by being attached to the inner surface of a side wall of the living space in the rear.

[0013] The storage container 8 has a container body 80 that is formed, for example, by combining a plurality of rectangular plate materials and has an external shape that is roughly rectangular parallelepiped, and an approximately rectangular parallelepiped storage space 81 is formed inside. The storage container 8 is a storage box having an opening formed on one side of a substantially rectangular parallelepiped, and is capable of storing the storage table 1. An opening door 82 is provided at this opening. The storage table 1 is capable of being stored inside the storage container 8, and the opening door 82 can be closed when the storage table 1 is stored inside the storage container 8. It is possible to decide whether or not to provide the opening door 82. Furthermore, whether or not the campervan table 100 is provided with the storage container 8 and the shape of the storage container 8 may be set arbitrarily, and the storage container 8 may not be provided at all.

[0014] The storage table 1 includes, for example, a folding table 2 and a support member 5 that supports the folding table 2 so that it can be stored. The folding table 2 also includes, for example, a top panel 10 and legs 40 that support the top panel 10 from below.

[0015] Next, the top plate portion will be described with reference to FIGS. Fig. 3 is a view of the top plate of a folding table according to one embodiment as seen from above, and Fig. 4 is a perspective view illustrating the top plate, with Fig. 4(A) showing the top plate in the first open position, Fig. 4(B) showing the top plate in the second open position, and Fig. 4(C) showing the top plate in the second closed position. Fig. 5 is a diagram illustrating the schematic configuration of a concealed hinge (first hinge member) according to one embodiment, and Fig. 6 is a perspective view illustrating the schematic configuration of a concealed hinge (second hinge member) and a ball catch lock (engagement member). Fig. 7 is a conceptual diagram illustrating the schematic configuration and operation of a ball catch lock (engagement member) according to one embodiment. In the figure, reference numeral 10 denotes a top panel portion, reference numeral 11 denotes a first top panel piece, reference numeral 12 denotes a second top panel piece, reference numeral 13 denotes a third top panel piece, and reference numeral 14 denotes a fourth top panel piece. Reference numeral 15A denotes an upper surface magnet (magnet), reference numeral 15B denotes a lower surface magnet (magnet), reference numeral 20A denotes a concealed hinge (first hinge member), reference numeral 20B denotes a concealed hinge (second hinge member), and reference numeral 30 denotes a ball catch lock (engagement member). Reference numeral 10A denotes the top panel portion 10 in the first closed position, and reference numeral 10B denotes the top panel portion 10 in the second closed position.

[0016] As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the top plate portion 10 includes a first top plate piece 11, a first top plate piece 12, a third top plate piece 13, a fourth top plate piece 14, a concealed hinge (first hinge member) 20A (20), a concealed hinge (second hinge member) 20B (20), and a ball catch lock (engagement member) 30, which are divided by, for example, a first boundary line L1 and a second boundary line L2 that are arranged orthogonally. As shown in Figures 3 and 4, when the top panel portion 10 is open for use (in the first open position), it is formed into an approximately rectangular (oblong) shape with rounded (arcuate) corners when viewed from above.

[0017] In this embodiment, the first boundary line L1 is arranged along the short side (width direction) of the top panel portion 10, and the second boundary line L2 is arranged along the long side (lengthwise direction) of the top panel portion 10. Also, as shown in Figure 3, the first top plate piece 11, the second top plate piece 12, the third top plate piece 13, and the fourth top plate piece 14 are arranged in order around the intersection C of the first boundary line L1 and the second boundary line L2 (e.g., counterclockwise), with the intersection C as the center. The first top plate piece 11 and the fourth top plate piece 14, and the second top plate piece 12 and the third top plate piece 13 are arranged along the first boundary line L1, and the first top plate piece 11 and the second top plate piece 12, and the fourth top plate piece 14 and the third top plate piece 13 are arranged along the second boundary line L2. In this embodiment, the intersection C is located at the center of the long side (longitudinal direction) and the short side (transverse direction) of the top panel portion 10.

[0018] As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the first top plate piece 11 and the second top plate piece 12, and the fourth top plate piece 14 and the third top plate piece 13 are each connected by two concealed hinges (first hinge members) 20A (20). The top plate portion 10 can be folded into a top plate portion 10A(10) bent (rotated) 180° between a first open position in which the top plate portion 10 is open, in which the upper surfaces of the first top plate piece 11 and the fourth top plate piece 14 are flush with the upper surfaces of the second top plate piece 12 and the third top plate piece 13, and a first closed position in which the top plate portion 10 is bent at the first boundary line L1, in which the upper surfaces of the first top plate piece 11 and the second top plate piece 12, and the upper surfaces of the fourth top plate piece 14 and the third top plate piece 13 are arranged opposite each other.

[0019] The second top plate piece 12 and the third top plate piece 13 are connected to each other by a concealed hinge (second hinge member) 20B (20) so as to be able to bend (rotate). The first top plate piece 11 and the fourth top plate piece 14 are detachably connected by a ball catch lock (engagement member) 30, for example. When the top surface of the first top piece 11 and the top surface of the second top piece 12, and the top surface of the fourth top piece 14 and the top surface of the third top piece 13 face each other and the top portion 10 is bent and closed at the first boundary line L1 to be in a first closed position, the top surfaces of the second top piece 12 and the third top piece 13 are flush with each other, and the top surfaces of the first top piece 11 and the fourth top piece 14 are flush with each other in a second open position (corresponding to the top portion 10A(10)). The upper surface of the fourth top piece 14 and the upper surface of the third top piece 13 are arranged opposite each other, and the lower surface of the second top piece 12 and the lower surface of the third top piece 13 are arranged opposite each other, and are bent (rotated) so that the first top piece 11 and the fourth top piece 14 are divided by the second boundary line L2, so that the first top piece 11, the second top piece 12, the third top piece 13, and the fourth top piece 14 can be arranged between these positions (the state of the top piece 10B (10)) and the second closed position (the state of the top piece 10B (10)) in which the first top piece 11, the second top piece 12, the third top piece 13, and the fourth top piece 14 are overlapped in this order.

[0020] As shown in FIG. 3, the top panel 10 is provided with an upper surface magnet (magnet) 15A and a lower surface magnet (magnet) 15B for stably holding the folded top panel 10.

[0021] The top magnets (magnets) 15A are embedded (disposed) on both sides of the opposing portions (corresponding portions) when the first top piece 11 and the second top piece 12 face each other and on both sides of the opposing portions (corresponding portions) when the fourth top piece 14 and the third top piece 13 face each other, for example, when the top piece 10 is bent and closed at the first boundary line L1 (first closed position).The first top piece 11 and the second top piece 12, and the fourth top piece 14 and the third top piece 13 are configured to attract each other.

[0022] The underside magnets (magnets) are embedded (placed) on both sides of the corresponding portions when the second top piece 12 and the third top piece 13 face each other in a state where the second top piece 12 and the third top piece 13 are closed at the second boundary line L2 (second closed position).The second top piece 12 and the third top piece 13 are configured to attract each other when the top portion 10 is closed at the second boundary line L2 (second closed position).

[0023] Next, the schematic configuration of the concealed hinge (first hinge member) that constitutes the folding table will be described with reference to Fig. 5. Fig. 5 is a perspective view showing the schematic configuration of the concealed hinge (first hinge member) that constitutes the folding table according to one embodiment. In the figure, reference numeral 20A indicates the concealed hinge (first hinge member).

[0024] As shown in FIG. 5, at the first boundary line L1, the first top plate piece 11 and the second top plate piece 12, and the third top plate piece 13 and the fourth top plate piece 14 are connected by a concealed hinge (first hinge member) 20A.

[0025] Hereinafter, the concealed hinge (first hinge member) 20A will be described using the fourth top plate piece 14 and the third top plate piece 13 as an example. The concealed hinge (first hinge member) 20A includes, for example, an attachment portion 21 arranged on the end surface of the fourth top plate piece 14, an attachment portion 22 arranged on the end surface of the third top plate piece 13, and a link portion 23 connecting the attachment portion 21 and the attachment portion 22. In addition, the link portion 23 includes a blade portion 24, a blade portion 25, a core rod 26 that rotatably connects the blade portion 24 and the blade portion 25, an axle portion 24J that rotatably connects the mounting portion 21 and the blade portion 24, and an axle portion 25J that rotatably connects the mounting portion 22 and the blade portion 25.

[0026] With this configuration, the concealed hinge (first hinge member) 20A is not exposed on the top surface when the third top piece 13 and the fourth top piece 14 are flush, and it also prevents a noticeable gap from being formed between the end faces of the third top piece 13 and the fourth top piece 14. Therefore, the top surfaces of the third top piece 13 and the fourth top piece 14 can face each other without creating a gap, allowing for stable folding. This also applies to the first top plate piece 11 and the second top plate piece 12 that are connected by the concealed hinge (first hinge member) 20A (20).

[0027] Next, the schematic configuration of the concealed hinge (second hinge member) and ball catch lock (engagement member) that constitute the folding table will be described with reference to Fig. 6. Fig. 6 is a perspective view showing the schematic configuration of the concealed hinge (second hinge member) and ball catch lock (engagement member) that constitute the folding table according to one embodiment. In the figure, reference numeral 20B indicates the concealed hinge (second hinge member), and reference numeral 30 indicates the ball catch lock (engagement member).

[0028] 6, at the second boundary line L2, the second top plate piece 12 and the third top plate piece 13 are connected by a concealed hinge (second hinge member) 20B. Also, the first top plate piece 11 and the fourth top plate piece 14 are detachably connected by a ball catch lock 30. The concealed hinge (second hinge member) 20B is a concealed hinge 20 having the same configuration as the concealed hinge (first hinge member) 20A. The concealed hinge (second hinge member) 20B differs from the concealed hinge (first hinge member) 20A in that the concealed hinge (second hinge member) 20B is positioned so that the upper surfaces of the top plate pieces face each other, whereas the concealed hinge (first hinge member) 20A is positioned so that the lower surfaces face each other; otherwise, the configuration is the same as that of the concealed hinge (first hinge member) 20A, so detailed configuration will not be explained here.

[0029] Next, the schematic configuration and operation of a ball catch lock (engagement member) according to one embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 6 and 7. Figure 7 is a conceptual diagram illustrating the schematic configuration and operation of a ball catch lock (engagement member) according to one embodiment. FIG. 7(A) shows a state in which the ball catch lock (engagement member) 30 is disengaged and the first top plate piece 11 and the fourth top plate piece 14 are separated.

[0030] As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7(A), the ball catch lock (engaging member) 30 includes a ball plunger 31 and an engaged member 35. The ball plunger 31 includes, for example, plunger bodies 32 arranged opposite to each other, and each plunger body 32 includes a ball member 33 arranged so as to be able to move toward and away from each other along the arrow. The engaged member 35 has a protrusion 36 formed with a wide portion 36T and an engaged recess 36U, and the engaged recess 36U is formed on the base end side of the wide portion 36T.

[0031] Next, the operation of the ball catch lock (engagement member) 30 will be described. First, as shown in FIG. 7(A), the ball plunger 31 and the engaged member 350 move relatively close to each other (for example, in the direction of the outline arrow). Next, as shown in FIG. 7(B), when the wide portion 36T of the engaged member 35 is positioned on the plunger body 32, the ball member 33 moves back, causing the engaged member 35 to move forward (relatively move) in the direction of the white arrow. 7(C), when the ball member 33 is positioned in the engaged recess 36U of the engaged member 36, the ball member 33 moves forward into the engaged recess 36U. As a result, the ball catch lock (engaging member) 30 engages, and the first top plate piece 11 and the fourth top plate piece 14 are connected. When folding the top plate portion 10, the operations shown in FIGS. 7(A) to 7(C) are performed in reverse order to disengage the ball catch lock (engagement member) 30, and the first top plate piece 11 and the fourth top plate piece 14 are separated.

[0032] Next, a schematic configuration of a leg portion of a storage table according to one embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 8 is a perspective view illustrating a schematic configuration of legs of a storage table according to one embodiment, and FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an outline of a folding operation of the legs of the storage table. 8, the legs 40 are connected to a lower surface (bottom side) 10P of the tabletop 10 to support the tabletop 10. Specifically, the legs 40 are connected to a lower surface 11P of the first tabletop piece 11, for example. 8, the leg 40 includes, for example, a leg body 41, a main arm 42 that stores the leg body 41, and a connecting shaft 43 that rotatably connects the upper part (base end side) of the leg body 41 to the main arm 42. In this embodiment, the storing main arm 42 and the connecting shaft 43 form a leg storing structure.

[0033] As shown in Figure 8, the leg main body 41 includes, for example, an upper leg body portion 41A, a lower leg body portion 41B, an installation portion 41C arranged at the lower end of the lower leg body portion 41B, and a connecting portion 41J connecting the upper leg body portion 41A and the lower leg body portion 41B. The upper leg body portion 41A and the lower leg body portion 41B are formed, for example, from a rod-shaped square pipe, and the lower leg body portion 41B and the upper leg body portion 41A are connected by a connecting portion 41J. The connecting portion 41J is configured, for example, by an axis member that connects the upper leg body portion 41A and the lower leg body portion 41B in a manner that allows them to bend (rotate). Note that the connecting portion 41J may also be configured to have a locking mechanism for maintaining the connected state or a holding structure for inserting and holding either the upper leg body portion 41A or the lower leg body portion 41B into the other.

[0034] The installation portion 41C is, for example, a rod-shaped member extending in a direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the lower leg body portion 41B, and is preferably of a main arm structure for weight reduction. The storage main arm 42 has a recess (storage space) 42A formed inside the frame body, and the leg body 41 can be stored in this recess 42A. The main arm 42 also protrudes slightly to the side of the third top plate piece 13, so that the main arm 42 can hold the third top plate piece 13 of the expanded top plate portion 10 from below.

[0035] The leg body 41, specifically the base end of the lower leg body 41B, is rotatably connected to the storage main arm 42 by a connecting shaft 43. It is preferable that a locking mechanism for maintaining the position of the leg body 41 is provided together with the connecting shaft 43. In this way, the leg body 41 is connected to the tabletop portion 10 via the leg storage structure, and the leg body 41 can be stored (housed) in the underside portion 10P of the tabletop portion 10.

[0036] In this embodiment, the frame 42 has a second top plate piece holding member 422 and a fourth top plate piece holding member 424, each of which can move forward and backward in the directions of the arrows. The second top plate piece holding member 422 holds the second top plate piece 12 of the unfolded top plate portion 10 on the underside, and the fourth top plate piece holding member 424 holds the fourth top plate piece 14 of the unfolded top plate portion 10 on the underside. It goes without saying that the first hinge member and the second hinge member may be arbitrarily set as concealed hinges, and a general hinge consisting of two mounting plates and a core rod may be inconspicuously arranged on the edge surface, top surface, or bottom surface of the top plate piece so that the top surface or bottom surface of the top plate piece is flush with the top surface.

[0037] Next, the operation of the leg portion 40 will be described with reference to FIG. First, as shown in Figure 9(A), when the folding table 2 is folded after use, the top plate portion 10 is positioned in an approximately vertical direction from the support member 5, and the leg body 41 is positioned outside the storage main arm 42 and extends in an approximately perpendicular direction to the top plate portion 10 (first top plate piece 11), which is the state in which it is used.

[0038] 9(B), when the lower leg body 41B is bent (rotated) relative to the upper leg body 41A at the connecting portion 41J, the upper leg body 41A is bent (rotated) at the connecting shaft 43. At this time, it is preferable to have a mechanism that synchronizes the bending of the lower leg body 41B and the upper leg body 41A at the connecting portion 41J with the bending of the upper leg body 41A relative to the storage main arm 42 at the connecting shaft 43.

[0039] 9(C), the upper leg body portion 41A is accommodated in the recess (storage space) 42A of the storage main arm 42, and the lower leg body portion 41B is arranged to overlap the outside of the upper leg body portion 41A. In this case, it may be determined arbitrarily whether or not the lower leg body portion 41B is configured to be accommodated within the recess (storage space) 42A.

[0040] Next, with reference to FIG. 10, a schematic configuration of a support member associated with the storage table will be described. 10 is a perspective view illustrating the schematic configuration of a support member according to one embodiment. In the figure, reference numeral 50 denotes an arm member, reference numeral 51 denotes a first rotating member (first rotating portion), reference numeral 52 denotes a second rotating member (second rotating portion), and reference numeral 53 denotes a third rotating member (third rotating portion). As shown in FIG. 10, the support member 5 includes, for example, an arm member 50, a first rotating member (first rotating portion) 51, a second rotating member (second rotating portion) 52, and a third rotating member (third rotating portion) 53.

[0041] The arm member 50 is formed in a rod shape, with its base end connected to a fixed portion (for example, the inner wall portion of a camper van) and its tip end connected to the top plate portion 10 (specifically, the first top plate piece 11) via the leg portion 40.

[0042] The first rotating member (first rotating portion) 51 is disposed at the base end of the arm member 50, with an axis 51J perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the arm member 50 and disposed substantially parallel and horizontal to the installation wall surface. As shown in Figure 10, the arm member 50 is rotated in the direction of arrow 51R to move the folded folding table 2 connected to the tip of the arm member 50 closer to the wall (fixed part) and move the folding table 2 into the storage container 8, and also move the folding table 2 from inside the storage container 8 to the outside and away from the wall (fixed part) (in a pendulum-like manner).

[0043] The second pivoting member (second pivoting section) 52 is arranged at the tip of the arm member 50 and rotates the folded folding table 2 in the direction of arrow 52R around an axis 52J that is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the arm member 50 and can be arranged, for example, parallel to the axis 51J of the first pivoting member (first pivoting section) 51.

[0044] The third rotating member (third rotating portion) 53 is disposed at the tip of the arm member 50, and is capable of rotating the folded folding table 2 in the direction of arrow R53 around an axis 53J parallel to the longitudinal direction of the arm member 50, and is configured to turn the folded folding table 2 between a position where it is to be used and a position where it is to be used. Storage space The storage unit is configured to be rotatable between a retractable position and a retractable position.

[0045] In this embodiment, the first rotating member (first rotating portion) 51, the second rotating member (second rotating portion) 52, and the third rotating member (third rotating portion) 53 are configured with a rotate lock that can rotate, for example, around an axis by a predetermined angle (for example, 90°) and be temporarily locked at the rotation end. Note that the first rotating member (first rotating portion) 51, the second rotating member (second rotating portion) 52, and the third rotating member (third rotating portion) 53 may be configured arbitrarily. Furthermore, the first rotating portion, the second rotating portion, and the third rotating portion may be configured by an axis member provided on the arm member 50.

[0046] Next, an outline of the folding operation of the folding table will be described with reference to Fig. 11. Fig. 11 is a diagram illustrating an outline of the folding operation of the storage table according to one embodiment. First, as shown in FIG. 11(A), the second tabletop piece 12 and the third tabletop piece 13 of the tabletop portion 10 of the folding table 2 are rotated in the direction of the arrow at the first boundary line L1 to be folded and positioned in the first open position. Next, as shown in FIG. 11(B), the third top panel piece 13 and the fourth top panel piece 14 of the top panel portion 10 (10A) in the first closed position are rotated and folded in the direction of the arrow at the second boundary line L2. As a result, as shown in Figure 11 (C), the top plate portion 10 of the folding table 2 becomes the top plate portion 10B in the second closed position, with the first top plate piece 11, the second top plate piece 12, the third top plate piece 13, and the fourth top plate piece 14 stacked in that order from the bottom.

[0047] Next, an outline of the storage operation of the storage table will be described with reference to Fig. 12. Fig. 12 is a diagram for explaining an outline of the storage operation of the storage table according to one embodiment. First, as shown in Figure 12 (A), the folding table 2 is rotated around an axis along the longitudinal direction of the arm member 50 (in the direction of the white arrow 53R) by the third rotating member (third rotating portion) 53, and raised relative to the arm member 50. Next, the raised folding table 2 is rotated in the direction of arrow 52R by the second rotation member (second rotation portion) 52. As a result, as shown in FIG. 12(B), the folding table 2 is aligned with the leg portion 40 in a position substantially parallel to the arm member 50. Next, as shown in FIG. 12(B), the folding table 2, in which the legs 40 are aligned in a position substantially parallel to the arm members 50, is rotated in the direction of arrow 51R by the first rotating member (first rotating portion) 51. As a result, as shown in FIG. 12(C), the folding table 2 and the support member 50 are stored in the storage space (the internal space of the storage container 8). 11 and 12 show the procedure for storing the folding table 2, but when returning the folding table 2 from the stored state to the state for use, the folding table 2 is unfolded in the reverse order.

[0048] According to the campervan table 100 according to one embodiment, anyone can easily fold and assemble it. According to one embodiment of the campervan table 100, by folding the folding table 2, the dimensions of the long and short sides of the top panel 10 can be reduced to half and the area to one-quarter, thereby efficiently reducing the size of the top panel 10. Furthermore, by rotating the folding table 2 to change the direction and posture (position), it can be efficiently stored (stowed) even in a small space inside a vehicle such as a camper van. As a result, the storage table 1 can be stored in a space-saving manner when not in use.

[0049] Furthermore, according to the folding table 2, the top panel 10 is held by the magnets 15A and 15B, so that the top panel 10 is stable after folding, ensuring safety during transportation. Magnets and ball catch locks automatically attract the parts together and secure them securely. These features allow the table to be quickly and easily set up and stored.

[0050] Furthermore, the process of storing the storage table 1 in the storage container 8 is simple, allowing the storage table 1 to be stored safely and efficiently. Since the rotating members 51, 52, 53 have a temporary locking mechanism, the parts can be fixed simply and reliably without much effort, and the stored table can be prevented from popping out even during travel.

[0051] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made thereto. For example, in the above embodiment, the first boundary line L1 is arranged along the short side of the top plate portion 10, and the second boundary line L2 is arranged along the long side of the top plate portion 10, but the arrangement of the first boundary line L1 and the second boundary line L2 may be set arbitrarily, and the first boundary line L1 may be arranged along the long side of the top plate portion 10, and the second boundary line L2 may be arranged along the short side of the top plate portion 10. In addition, in the above embodiment, the intersection C of the first boundary line L1 and the second boundary line L2 is described as being formed at the center of each of the long and short sides of the top plate portion 10, but the intersection C may also be positioned at a position offset from the center. Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the top panel portion 10 is described as being approximately rectangular with R-shaped portions (arcs) formed at the four corners, but the shape of the top panel portion 10 may be set to any shape such as rectangular, elliptical, circular, etc.

[0052] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the folding table 2 is described as having legs 40, but the presence or absence of legs 40 may be set arbitrarily. For example, the folding table may be formed of only the top plate 10 and used by placing it on separately prepared legs, or the top plate 10 may be supported in a usable state by a support member 5.

[0053] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the case where the top panel portion 10 is provided with two pairs of upper surface magnets 15A for attracting the upper surfaces of the first top panel piece 11 and the second top panel piece 12 and the upper surfaces of the fourth top panel piece 14 and the third top panel piece 13 to each other, and a pair of lower surface magnets 15B for attracting the lower surfaces of the second top panel piece 12 and the third top panel piece 13 to each other has been described, but the presence or absence of the upper surface magnets 15A and the lower surface magnets 15B, the number of the upper surface magnets 15A and the lower surface magnets 15B, and the positions at which they are arranged may be set arbitrarily. Also, a configuration may be provided with only one of the upper surface magnets 15A and the lower surface magnets 15B.

[0054] In addition, in the above embodiment, the engaging member that detachably connects the first top piece 11 and the fourth top piece 14 is the ball catch lock 30, but the configuration of the engaging member may be set arbitrarily, and may be configured other than the ball catch lock 30. For example, a magnet or the like may be used as the engaging member for detachable connection. [Explanation of symbols]
