Summary of Invention

Problem to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] In the folding table as described above, when the top plate is rotated to fold the folding table, it is necessary to move the modesty panel downward along with the rotation of the top plate in order to avoid interference between the top plate and the modesty panel. Therefore, when the folding table is in use, it is necessary to position the lower end of the modesty panel at a certain distance above the floor surface, which causes a problem that the position of the lower end of the modesty panel is restricted. In response to this, for example, a method of fixing the modesty panel to a support structure that supports the top plate can be considered. However, in this case, in order to avoid interference between the upper end of the modesty panel and the rotating top plate, it is necessary to lower the upper end of the modesty panel to a certain extent, which causes a problem that the position of the upper end of the modesty panel is restricted. As described above, the conventional folding table has a problem that the vertical dimension of the modesty panel is restricted.

[0005] In view of the above circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide a folding table having a structure capable of suppressing the occurrence of restrictions on the vertical dimension of a modesty panel.

Means for Solving the Problem

[0006] To solve the above problems, the present invention employs the following embodiments. (1) One embodiment of the folding table of the present invention comprises a support structure, a tabletop structure having a top plate and rotatably supported by the support structure around a pivot axis extending in a first horizontal direction, and a skirt attached to the tabletop structure, wherein the orientation of the tabletop structure is switchable between a first orientation in which the orientation of the surface of the tabletop includes a vertical component, and a second orientation in which the orientation of the surface of the tabletop includes a second horizontal component perpendicular to the first horizontal direction, and the inclination of the surface of the tabletop with respect to a plane perpendicular to the vertical direction is greater than that of the first orientation, and the tabletop structure is configured such that the orientation of the surface of the tabletop includes a second horizontal component perpendicular to the first horizontal direction. The top plate structure has a fascia support portion provided on its lower surface facing downward, and the fascia has an engaging portion that engages with the fascia support portion from above, and hangs downward from the fascia support portion, and the portion of the fascia support portion that the engaging portion engages with changes between a first engaged portion that the engaging portion engages with in the first position and a second engaged portion that the engaging portion engages with in the second position as the orientation of the top plate structure is switched between the first position and the second position, and the vertical position of the second engaged portion in the second position is the same as the vertical position of the first engaged portion in the first position, or higher than the vertical position of the first engaged portion in the first position. In this embodiment, the vertical position of the second engaged portion in the second posture is the same as, or higher than, the vertical position of the first engaged portion in the first posture. Therefore, even when the posture of the tabletop structure changes from the first posture to the second posture, the apron does not move downward. As a result, even if the lower end of the apron is located close to the floor in the first posture, when the tabletop structure is in the second posture, the lower end of the apron will not come into contact with the floor. Thus, constraints on the position of the lower end of the apron are suppressed. Furthermore, the apron is attached to a rotatable tabletop structure, and the part of the apron support that engages with it changes as the tabletop structure rotates. Therefore, unlike when the apron is fixed to a support structure, interference between the upper end of the apron and the rotatable tabletop structure is suppressed. Thus, constraints on the position of the upper end of the apron are suppressed. In summary, constraints on the vertical dimensions of the apron can be suppressed in a folding table. Therefore, the vertical dimension of the apron can be made sufficiently long. Consequently, the user's legs can be adequately concealed by the apron. Also, when two users use the folding table from the front and back respectively, the apron can easily prevent their legs from directly colliding with each other. Furthermore, the apron is suspended by engaging with the apron support. Therefore, even if the user's legs hit the apron when moving the folding table, the engaging part of the apron slides along the apron support, allowing the apron to move in accordance with the user's legs. As a result, even if the lower end of the apron is positioned close to the floor, it is possible to prevent, for example, the user's toes from getting caught between the apron and the floor, compared to when the apron is fixed to a support structure.

[0007] (2) In the folding table according to the embodiment of (1) above, the tabletop structure has a first reinforcing member attached to the lower surface of the tabletop, the first reinforcing member extends in the second horizontal direction in the first posture, and the position of the first engaged portion in the second horizontal direction in the first posture is a position between the position in the second horizontal direction at one end of the first reinforcing member in the second horizontal direction and the position in the second horizontal direction at the other end of the first reinforcing member in the second horizontal direction. According to this embodiment, in the first position, the apron support is easily provided in or near the central part of the second horizontal direction of the top plate structure. In this case, compared to the case where the apron support is provided at the second horizontal end of the top plate structure, the second engaged portion is less likely to move lower than the first engaged portion in the first position when the top plate structure changes from the first position to the second position. Therefore, it is easier to position the apron support so that the vertical position of the second engaged portion in the second position is higher than the vertical position of the first engaged portion in the first position.

[0008] (3) One embodiment of the folding table of the present invention comprises a support structure, a tabletop structure having a top plate and rotatably supported by the support structure around a pivot axis extending in a first horizontal direction, and a skirt plate attached to the tabletop structure, wherein the orientation of the tabletop structure is switchable between a first orientation in which the orientation of the surface of the tabletop includes a vertical component, and a second orientation in which the orientation of the surface of the tabletop includes a second horizontal component perpendicular to the first horizontal direction, and the inclination of the surface of the tabletop with respect to a plane perpendicular to the vertical direction is greater than that of the first orientation, wherein the tabletop structure comprises a skirt plate support portion provided on the lower surface of the tabletop that faces downward in the first orientation, and the lower surface of the tabletop The apron has a first reinforcing member and a skirting board, the skirting board having an engaging portion that engages with the skirting board support from above and hanging down from the skirting board support, the portion of the skirting board support that the engaging portion engages with changes between a first engaged portion that the engaging portion engages with in the first position and a second engaged portion that the engaging portion engages with in the second position as the position of the top plate structure is switched between the first position and the second position, the first reinforcing member extends in the second horizontal direction in the first position, and the position of the first engaged portion in the second horizontal direction in the first position is between the position in the second horizontal direction at one end of the first reinforcing member in the second horizontal direction and the position in the second horizontal direction at the other end of the first reinforcing member in the second horizontal direction. According to this embodiment, the amount of downward movement of the second engaged portion when changing from the first posture to the second posture is made smaller. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the vertical position of the second engaged portion in the second posture from becoming too low. This prevents constraints on the position of the lower end of the apron. Also, similar to embodiment (1) above, constraints on the position of the upper end of the apron are prevented. As a result, constraints on the vertical dimensions of the apron in the folding table can be prevented.

[0009] (4) In a folding table according to any one of the embodiments of (1) to (3) above, the tabletop structure may change from the first posture to the second posture by rotating the tabletop around the rotation axis in a direction such that the portion of the tabletop that is located on the first side in the second horizontal direction relative to the rotation axis in the first posture moves downward, and in the first posture the first engaged portion may be located on the second side opposite to the first side in the second horizontal direction relative to the rotation axis. According to this embodiment, when the top plate structure rotates around the pivot axis and changes from a first position to a second position, the first engaged portion is easily moved upward. As a result, when the top plate structure changes from a first position to a second position, the second engaged portion is also easily moved upward. Therefore, the apron support can be more favorably positioned so that the vertical position of the second engaged portion in the second position is higher than the vertical position of the first engaged portion in the first position.

[0010] (5) In a folding table according to any one of the embodiments of (1) to (4) above, the skirt support portion may have a support body portion having the first engaged portion and the second engaged portion, and the support body portion may be configured to be hook-shaped when viewed in the first horizontal direction. According to this embodiment, the engaging portion of the skirting plate can be easily engaged with the support body, and the skirting plate can be easily attached to the top plate structure. In addition, the skirting plate can be easily removed from the support body.

[0011] (6) In the folding table according to the embodiment of (5) above, the tabletop structure rotates around the rotation axis in such a way that the portion of the tabletop located on the first side in the second horizontal direction relative to the rotation axis in the first posture moves downward, thereby changing from the first posture to the second posture, and the support body portion has a curved portion that curves in such a way that it is convex downward when viewed in the first horizontal direction in the first posture, and an extended portion that extends upward from the first end of the curved portion in the first posture, wherein the curved portion has a first engaged portion, and the extended portion has a second engaged portion. According to this embodiment, because the support body has a hook shape with the curved portion and extended portion described above, when the top plate structure changes from a first position to a second position, the apron is prevented from coming off the support body, and the portion of the support body to which the engaging portion of the apron engages can be easily changed from the first engaged portion to the second engaged portion.

[0012] (7) In a folding table according to any one of the embodiments of (1) to (6) above, the tabletop structure may have a second reinforcing member attached to the lower surface of the tabletop, wherein the second reinforcing member is located below the skirt support in the second position, the lower end of the skirt is located below the second reinforcing member in the second position, and at least a part of the second engaged portion is located below the lower end of the second reinforcing member in the first position. According to this embodiment, in the second posture, the second horizontal position of the fascia plate that engages with the second engaged portion is more likely to be positioned further to the second side in the second horizontal direction than the second end of the second reinforcing member in the second horizontal direction. This makes it possible to suppress interference between the fascia plate and the second reinforcing member in the second posture and to suppress the fascia plate from being tilted in the vertical direction in the second posture.

[0013] (8) In the folding table according to the embodiment of (7) above, the tabletop structure may have a spacer attached to the lower surface of the tabletop, and the skirt support may be fixed to the tabletop via the spacer. According to this embodiment, in the first position, the apron support portion can be positioned away from the underside of the top plate by the vertical dimension of the spacer. This makes it easier to position the second engaged portion below the lower end of the second reinforcing member in the first position without increasing the vertical dimension of the apron support portion. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the enlargement of the apron support portion while suppressing the apron from being tilted in the vertical direction in the second position.

[0014] (9) In a folding table according to any one of the embodiments of (1) to (8) above, the skirting board may have a first through hole that penetrates the skirting board in the second horizontal direction, the skirting board support portion may be passed through the inside of the first through hole in the second horizontal direction, and the engaging portion may be the upper part of the inner edge of the first through hole. According to this embodiment, the apron can be easily engaged with the apron support by passing the apron support through the first through-hole. Therefore, the apron can be attached to the tabletop structure more easily. In addition, the apron can be removed from the tabletop structure more easily.

[0015] (10) In a folding table according to any one of the embodiments of (1) to (8) above, the skirt plate has a skirt plate body portion that hangs downward from the skirt plate support portion and a metal ring member, the skirt plate body portion has a second through hole that penetrates the skirt plate body portion in the second horizontal direction, the ring member is fixed in the second through hole and opens in the second horizontal direction, the skirt plate support portion passes through the inside of the ring member in the second horizontal direction, and the engaging portion is the upper part of the inner edge portion of the ring member. According to this embodiment, the engaging portion is made of metal, and the engaging portion can be easily slid against the apron support. This makes it easier for the part of the apron support that the engaging portion engages with to change when the tabletop structure changes between the first and second positions. In addition, wear of the engaging portion can be suppressed when the engaging portion slides against the apron support. These effects are particularly useful when the apron body is made of a flexible material such as felt.

[0016] (11) In a folding table according to any one of the embodiments of (1) to (10) above, the skirting board has a skirting board body that hangs downward from the skirting board support, and the skirting board body may be configured to be flexible. According to this aspect, when the apron main body part comes into contact with the user's body, the apron main body part can easily deform to conform to the shape of the user's body. Accordingly, when the user uses the folding table, when the user folds the folding table, and when the user moves the folding table, even if the user contacts the apron, the force the user receives from the apron can be easily reduced. This makes the apron less obstructive and improves user convenience. [Effects of the Invention]

[0021] <First Embodiment> The folding table 100 of this embodiment, shown in Figures 1 to 5, is a so-called flap-type folding table. As shown in Figure 1, the folding table 100 comprises a support structure 10, a tabletop structure 20, and a skirt 30. The support structure 10 is installed on the floor surface F. The support structure 10 has a pair of legs 11, 12 and a beam 13. The pair of legs 11, 12 are installed on the floor surface F. The pair of legs 11, 12 are spaced apart from each other in the left-right direction Y. The leg 11 has a leg column 11a, an arm 11b, and a mounting part 11c. The leg column 11a extends in the vertical direction Z. The arm 11b is connected to the lower end of the leg column 11a. The arm 11b extends in the front-rear direction X. The arm 11b protrudes from the leg column 11a on both sides in the front-rear direction X.

[0022] The mounting portion 11c protrudes inward (-Y side) in the left-right direction from the upper part of the leg column portion 11a. The top plate structure 20 is attached to the mounting portion 11c. As shown in Figure 2, the mounting portion 11c has a base portion 11d and a top plate support portion 11e. The base portion 11d protrudes inward (-Y side) in the left-right direction from the upper part of the leg column portion 11a. The top plate support portion 11e protrudes upward from the base portion 11d.

[0023] As shown in Figure 4, the top plate support portion 11e extends in the front-rear direction X. The top plate support portion 11e protrudes forward (towards the +X side) of the leg column portion 11a. The top plate support portion 11e has a first rotation axis portion 11f and a second rotation axis portion 11g. The first rotation axis portion 11f is cylindrical with the first rotation axis line AX1 as its center. The first rotation axis line (rotation axis line) AX1 is a virtual axis line extending in the left-right direction Y. In this embodiment, the first rotation axis portion 11f and the first rotation axis line AX1 are located forward of the leg column portion 11a. The second rotation axis portion 11g is cylindrical with the second rotation axis line AX2 as its center. The second rotation axis line AX2 is a virtual axis line extending in the left-right direction Y. In this embodiment, the second rotational shaft portion 11g and the second rotational shaft line AX2 are located behind (towards the -X side) the first rotational shaft portion 11f and the first rotational shaft line AX1.

[0024] The top plate support portion 11e supports the top plate structure 20 so as to be rotatable around the first rotation axis AX1. As shown in Figure 5, one end of the link portion 24 is attached to the second rotation axis portion 11g so as to be rotatable around the second rotation axis AX2. The other end of the link portion 24 is attached to the first reinforcing member 22a, which will be described later, so as to be rotatable around an axis extending in the left-right direction Y.

[0025] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the leg portion 12 is arranged symmetrically with respect to the leg portion 11 in the left-right direction Y. The leg portion 12 has the same configuration as the leg portion 11, except that it is arranged symmetrically in the left-right direction Y. Like the leg portion 11, the leg portion 12 has a leg column portion 12a, an arm portion 12b, and a mounting portion 12c. As shown in Figure 2, the mounting portion 12c of the leg portion 12 has a base portion 12d and a top plate support portion 12e, similar to the mounting portion 11c of the leg portion 11. One end of a link portion (not shown) is attached to the second pivot axis portion of the top plate support portion 12e. The other end of the link portion is attached to the first reinforcing member 22b, which will be described later.

[0026] The beam section 13 extends in the left-right direction Y. One end of the beam section 13 in the left-right direction Y is connected to the base 11d of the leg section 11. The other end of the beam section 13 in the left-right direction Y is connected to the base 12d of the leg section 12. The beam section 13 connects the mounting section 11c and the mounting section 12c in the left-right direction Y.

[0027] The tabletop structure 20 has a tabletop 21. The tabletop structure 20 is supported by a support structure 10 so as to be rotatable around a first rotation axis AX1 extending in the left-right direction Y. The orientation of the tabletop structure 20 can be switched between a first orientation S1 and a second orientation S2 by rotating the tabletop structure 20 around the first rotation axis AX1. As shown in Figure 4, the first orientation S1 is the orientation in which the surface of the tabletop 21 includes a component in the vertical direction Z. In the first orientation S1, the surface of the tabletop 21 faces in the vertical direction Z. In this embodiment, in the first orientation S1, the surface of the tabletop 21 is perpendicular to the vertical direction Z. The first orientation S1 is the orientation when the folding table 100 is used. As shown in Figure 5, the second posture S2 is a posture in which the orientation of the surface of the tabletop 21 includes a component in the front-to-back direction X that is perpendicular to the left-to-right direction Y, and the inclination of the surface of the tabletop 21 with respect to a plane perpendicular to the up-to-down direction Z is greater than that of the first posture S1. In the second posture S2, the surface of the tabletop 21 faces the front-to-back direction X that is perpendicular to the left-to-right direction Y. In this embodiment, in the second posture S2, the surface of the tabletop 21 is perpendicular to the front-to-back direction X. The second posture S2 is the posture when the folding table 100 is not in use.

[0028] Furthermore, "In the first posture S1, the orientation of the surface of the top plate 21 includes a component in the vertical Z direction" means that in the first posture S1, the direction perpendicular to the surface of the top plate 21 is any direction other than the direction perpendicular to the vertical Z direction. In other words, "In the first posture S1, the orientation of the surface of the top plate 21 includes a component in the vertical Z direction" also includes the case where the surface of the top plate 21 is inclined with respect to the plane perpendicular to the vertical Z direction in the first posture S1. Also, "In the second posture S2, the orientation of the surface of the top plate 21 includes a component in the front-rear X direction, and the inclination of the surface of the top plate 21 with respect to the plane perpendicular to the vertical Z direction is greater than in the first posture S1" means that in the second posture S2, the direction perpendicular to the surface of the top plate 21 is any direction other than the direction perpendicular to the front-rear X direction, and the inclination of the surface of the top plate 21 with respect to the plane perpendicular to the vertical Z direction is greater than in the first posture S1. In other words, "In the second posture S2, the orientation of the surface of the top plate 21 includes a component in the front-to-back direction X, and the inclination of the surface of the top plate 21 with respect to the plane perpendicular to the up-to-down direction Z is greater than that of the first posture S1" also includes the case in the second posture S2 where the surface of the top plate 21 is inclined with respect to the plane perpendicular to the front-to-back direction X within the range in which the inclination with respect to the plane perpendicular to the up-to-down direction Z is greater than that of the first posture S1.

[0029] In this embodiment, the inclination of the surface of the top plate 21 in the first position S1 with respect to a plane perpendicular to the vertical direction Z is 0°. In this embodiment, the inclination of the surface of the top plate 21 in the second position S2 with respect to a plane perpendicular to the vertical direction Z is 90°.

[0030] The top plate structure 20 changes from the first position S1 to the second position S2 by rotating around the first rotation axis AX1 such that the part of the top plate 21 located in the front-to-back direction X (+X side) relative to the first rotation axis AX1 in the first position S1 moves downward. When changing from the first position S1 to the second position S2, the top plate structure 20 rotates 90° around the first rotation axis AX1. In the following description, unless otherwise specified, the relative positional relationships of the parts of the top plate structure 20 when the position is the first position S1 will be described. Figures 1 to 4, 6, and 7 show the whole or a part of the top plate structure 20 in the first position S1. Figures 5 and 8 show the whole or a part of the top plate structure 20 in the second position S2.

[0031] As shown in Figures 1 and 3, in this embodiment, the surface of the top plate 21 is a rectangle that is elongated in the left-right direction Y. As shown in Figure 2, the top plate 21 has an upper surface 21a and a lower surface 21b. The upper surface 21a is the upper surface. The lower surface 21b is the lower surface. As shown in Figure 5, in the second position S2, the upper surface 21a faces forward (+X side). In the second position S2, the lower surface 21b faces backward (-X side). The upper surface 21a is the surface used by the user.

[0032] As shown in Figure 3, the top plate structure 20 includes a first reinforcing member 22a, 22b, a second reinforcing member 23a, and a third reinforcing member 23b. The first reinforcing members 22a, 22b, the second reinforcing member 23a, and the third reinforcing member 23b are attached to the lower surface 21b of the top plate 21. The first reinforcing members 22a, 22b, the second reinforcing member 23a, and the third reinforcing member 23b are members for reinforcing the top plate 21. The first reinforcing members 22a, 22b, the second reinforcing member 23a, and the third reinforcing member 23b are, for example, made of metal. The first reinforcing members 22a, 22b, the second reinforcing member 23a, and the third reinforcing member 23b are, for example, sheet metal members.

[0033] The first reinforcing members 22a and 22b extend in the front-rear direction X in the first posture S1. The front-rear dimension of the first reinforcing members 22a and 22b is smaller than the front-rear dimension of the top plate 21. The front (+X) ends of the first reinforcing members 22a and 22b are positioned further back (-X) than the front end of the top plate 21. The rear ends of the first reinforcing members 22a and 22b are positioned further forward than the rear end of the top plate 21. The first reinforcing members 22a and 22b are positioned apart in the left-right direction Y. The first reinforcing members 22a and 22b are positioned symmetrically to each other in the left-right direction Y. The first reinforcing members 22a and 22b are roughly rectangular box-shaped with an opening on the top side.

[0034] As shown in Figure 2, the first reinforcing member 22a has an opening 22c that opens downwards. The mounting portion 11c is passed through the opening 22c in the vertical direction Z. The top plate support portion 11e is positioned inside the first reinforcing member 22a via the opening 22c. The first pivot shaft portion 11f of the top plate support portion 11e is connected to the first reinforcing member 22a. The first reinforcing member 22a is rotatably attached to the top plate support portion 11e via the first pivot shaft portion 11f, around the first pivot axis AX1. Although not shown, the link portion 24 (see Figure 5) described above is located inside the first reinforcing member 22a.

[0035] The first reinforcing member 22b is the same as the first reinforcing member 22a, except that it is arranged symmetrically in the left-right direction Y. The top plate support 12e is located inside the first reinforcing member 22b. The first reinforcing member 22b is attached to the top plate support 12e via the first pivot axis of the leg portion 12 so as to be rotatable around the first pivot axis line AX1.

[0036] As shown in Figure 3, the second reinforcing member 23a extends in the left-right direction Y. The second reinforcing member 23a is located in front of (+X side of) the leg columns 11a and 12a. The second reinforcing member 23a is located between the front end of the first reinforcing member 22a and the front end of the first reinforcing member 22b in the left-right direction Y. The second reinforcing member 23a may be in contact with the front end of the first reinforcing member 22a and the front end of the first reinforcing member 22b, or it may not be in contact with at least one of these ends. As shown in Figure 4, the second reinforcing member 23a is a substantially U-shaped member that opens upward when viewed in the left-right direction Y.

[0037] As shown in Figure 3, the third reinforcing member 23b extends in the left-right direction Y. The third reinforcing member 23b is located behind (-X side) the leg column portions 11a and 12a. The third reinforcing member 23b is located between the rear end of the first reinforcing member 22a and the rear end of the first reinforcing member 22b in the left-right direction Y. The third reinforcing member 23b may be in contact with the rear end of the first reinforcing member 22a and the rear end of the first reinforcing member 22b, or it may not be in contact with at least one of these ends. As shown in Figure 4, the third reinforcing member 23b is a substantially U-shaped member that opens upward when viewed in the left-right direction Y.

[0038] In this embodiment, the vertical dimension Z of the second reinforcing member 23a and the vertical dimension Z of the third reinforcing member 23b are the same. The lower end of the second reinforcing member 23a and the lower end of the third reinforcing member 23b are located at the same position in the vertical direction Z. However, the vertical dimension Z of the second reinforcing member 23a and the vertical dimension Z of the third reinforcing member 23b may be different. The lower end of the second reinforcing member 23a and the lower end of the third reinforcing member 23b may be located at different positions in the vertical direction Z.

[0039] As shown in Figure 3, the tabletop structure 20 has operating parts 28a and 28b. The operating parts 28a and 28b are operated by the user to make the tabletop structure 20 rotatable around the first rotation axis AX1. The rotation of the tabletop structure 20 around the first rotation axis AX1 is locked when the folding table 100 is in use. More specifically, when the folding table 100 is in use, the rotation of the first reinforcing members 22a and 22b around the first rotation axis AX1 is locked. The lock on the rotation of the first reinforcing member 22a around the first rotation axis AX1 is released by operating operating part 28a. The lock on the rotation of the first reinforcing member 22b around the first rotation axis AX1 is released by operating operating part 28b. The user can make the tabletop structure 20 rotatable by simultaneously operating operating parts 28a and 28b.

[0040] The operating sections 28a and 28b are fixed to the lower surface 21b of the top plate 21. The operating sections 28a and 28b are located behind (-X side) the leg columns 11a and 11b. The operating sections 28a and 28b are spaced apart in the left-right direction Y. The operating section 28a is positioned side by side on the left-right outer side (+Y side) of the rear end of the first reinforcing member 22a. The operating section 28b is positioned side by side on the left-right outer side (-Y side) of the rear end of the first reinforcing member 22b.

[0041] As shown in Figure 4, the operating unit 28a has a cover portion 28c and a lever portion 28d. The cover portion 28c is fixed to the lower surface 21b. The lever portion 28d is attached to the cover portion 28c so as to be rotatable around the third rotation axis AX3. The third rotation axis AX3 is a virtual axis extending in the left-right direction Y. When not operated, the lever portion 28d extends in the front-rear direction X. When the lever portion 28d is moved upward around the third rotation axis AX3, a locking member (not shown) that locks the rotation of the first reinforcing member 22a is switched to a state where the rotation of the first reinforcing member 22a is not locked, in conjunction with the movement of the lever portion 28d. Therefore, the user can release the lock on the rotation of the first reinforcing member 22a by moving the lever portion 28d upward.

[0042] The operating section 28b is the same as the operating section 28a, except that it is arranged symmetrically with respect to the operating section 28a in the left-right direction Y. As shown in Figure 3, the operating section 28b, like the operating section 28a, has a cover section 28e and a lever section 28f. The user can release the lock on the rotation of the first reinforcing member 22b by moving the lever section 28f upward. Therefore, the user can make the top plate structure 20 rotatable by moving the two lever sections 28d and 28f upward. The structure for locking the rotation of the top plate structure 20 around the first rotation axis AX1, and the structure for releasing the locked state of the top plate structure 20, are not particularly limited and may be any structure.

[0043] The top plate structure 20 has a spacer 26. The spacer 26 is attached to the lower surface 21b of the top plate 21. The spacer 26 is, for example, made of metal. The spacer 26 is, for example, a sheet metal member. The spacer 26 is located between the second reinforcing member 23a and the third reinforcing member 23b in the front-rear direction X. The spacer 26 extends in the left-right direction Y. The spacer 26 is located between the first reinforcing member 22a and the first reinforcing member 22b in the left-right direction Y. The spacer 26 may be in contact with the first reinforcing member 22a and the first reinforcing member 22b, or it may not be in contact with at least one of the first reinforcing member 22a and the first reinforcing member 22b. The spacer 26 is attached to the central part of the lower surface 21b of the top plate 21 in the front-rear direction X.

[0044] As shown in Figure 6, in this embodiment, the spacer 26 has a substantially U-shape that opens upward when viewed in the left-right direction Y. The spacer 26 has a bottom wall portion 26a, side wall portions 26b, 26c, and fixed portions 26d, 26e. In this embodiment, the bottom wall portion 26a is plate-shaped with its surface facing the up-down direction Z. The bottom wall portion 26a extends in the left-right direction Y. A skirting plate support portion 27, which will be described later, is fixed to the lower surface of the bottom wall portion 26a. The side wall portion 26b protrudes upward from the front (+X side) end of the bottom wall portion 26a. The side wall portion 26c protrudes upward from the rear (-X side) end of the bottom wall portion 26a. The fixed portion 26d protrudes forward from the upper end of the side wall portion 26b. The fixed portion 26e protrudes rearward from the upper end of the side wall portion 26c. The fixed parts 26d and 26e are fixed to the lower surface 21b of the top plate 21.

[0045] As shown in Figure 4, in this embodiment, the center of the spacer 26 in the front-to-back direction X is located in front of (+X side of) the imaginary line IL1. The imaginary line IL1 is an imaginary line extending in the vertical direction Z. The position of the imaginary line IL1 in the front-to-back direction X is the same as the center of the leg column portions 11a and 12a in the front-to-back direction X. The position of the spacer 26 in the front-to-back direction X is between the position of the imaginary line IL2 in the front-to-back direction X and the position of the imaginary line IL3 in the front-to-back direction X. The imaginary lines IL2 and IL3 are imaginary lines extending in the vertical direction Z. The position of the imaginary line IL2 in the front-to-back direction X is the same as the center of the front-to-back direction X between the imaginary line IL1 and the front (+X side) end of the top plate 21. The position of the imaginary line IL3 in the front-to-back direction X is the same as the center of the front-to-back direction X between the imaginary line IL1 and the rear (-X side) end of the top plate 21.

[0046] The vertical dimension Z of the spacer 26 is smaller than the vertical dimension Z of the second reinforcing member 23a and the third reinforcing member 23b. The lower end of the spacer 26 is located above the lower end of the second reinforcing member 23a and the lower end of the third reinforcing member 23b. In this embodiment, the lower end of the spacer 26 is the lower surface of the bottom wall portion 26a. The lower end of the spacer 26 may be located at the same position as the lower end of the second reinforcing member 23a and the lower end of the third reinforcing member 23b in the vertical direction Z, or it may be located below the lower end of the second reinforcing member 23a and the lower end of the third reinforcing member 23b.

[0047] The top plate structure 20 has a skirting plate support portion 27. The skirting plate support portion 27 is provided on the lower surface 21b of the top plate 21 that faces downward in the first position S1. In this embodiment, the skirting plate support portion 27 is separate from the top plate 21. In this embodiment, the skirting plate support portion 27 is fixed to the top plate 21 via a spacer 26. As shown in Figure 6, the skirting plate support portion 27 is fixed to the lower surface of the bottom wall portion 26a with bolts 25. The skirting plate support portion 27 is, for example, made of metal. The skirting plate support portion 27 may be made of a material other than metal. The skirting plate support portion 27 has a fixed portion 27a, a support body portion 27b, and a projection portion 27e.

[0048] The fixed portion 27a is fixed to the spacer 26. The fixed portion 27a is plate-shaped with its surface facing the vertical direction Z. The upper surface of the fixed portion 27a is in contact with the lower surface of the bottom wall portion 26a. The fixed portion 27a has a through hole 27f that penetrates the fixed portion 27a in the vertical direction Z. The through hole 27f is formed in the rear (-X side) portion of the fixed portion 27a. More specifically, the through hole 27f is formed in the portion of the fixed portion 27a that is located behind the support body portion 27b. A bolt 25 is passed through the through hole 27f from below. The bolt 25 passed through the through hole 27f is tightened into a screw hole 26f formed in the bottom wall portion 26a. As a result, the fixed portion 27a is fixed to the spacer 26, and the skirt support portion 27 is fixed to the top plate 21 via the spacer 26.

[0049] The projection 27e protrudes upward from the upper surface of the fixed portion 27a. The projection 27e is located in front of (+X side of) the through hole 27f. When viewed in the vertical Z direction, the projection 27e is positioned to overlap with the first engaged portion 27h, which will be described later. The projection 27e is inserted from below into the positioning hole 26g formed in the bottom wall portion 26a. The projection 27e is fitted into the positioning hole 26g. This positions the fascia support portion 27 relative to the spacer 26 in the front-rear direction X and the left-right direction Y.

[0050] In this embodiment, the support body portion 27b protrudes downward from the front (+X side) end of the fixed portion 27a. The support body portion 27b is hook-shaped when viewed in the left-right direction Y. In this embodiment, the support body portion 27b is J-shaped when viewed in the left-right direction Y. The fascia plate 30 is hooked onto the support body portion 27b. The support body portion 27b has an extension portion 27c and a curved portion 27d. The extension portion 27c extends in the vertical direction Z. The upper end of the extension portion 27c is connected to the front end of the fixed portion 27a. In the first posture S1, the extension portion 27c extends upward from the front end of the curved portion 27d. As shown in Figures 6 and 7, the extension portion 27c is plate-shaped with its plate surface facing the front-rear direction X.

[0051] As shown in Figure 6, the curved portion 27d is connected to the lower end of the extended portion 27c. The curved portion 27d is curved in a direction that is convex downward when viewed in the left-right direction Y in the first posture S1. In this embodiment, the curved portion 27d is an arc shape that is convex downward when viewed in the left-right direction Y in the first posture S1. The rear (-X side) and upper tip portion 27g of the curved portion 27d is positioned below the fixed portion 27a with a gap in between. The tip portion 27g is positioned behind the lower part of the extended portion 27c with a gap in between.

[0052] The support body portion 27b has a first engaged portion 27h and a second engaged portion 27i. The first engaged portion 27h and the second engaged portion 27i are the portions to which the fascia plate 30 is engaged. In this embodiment, the first engaged portion 27h is the upper surface of the central part of the curved portion 27d in the front-rear direction X. That is, the curved portion 27d has the first engaged portion 27h. The first engaged portion 27h is the portion of the upper surface of the curved portion 27d that includes the lowest part and the peripheral part of that portion. In the first posture S1, the fascia plate 30 is engaged with the first engaged portion 27h from above.

[0053] In this embodiment, the second engaged portion 27i is a part of the rear (-X side) surface of the extended portion 27c. That is, the extended portion 27c has the second engaged portion 27i. As shown in Figure 4, in the first posture S1, at least a part of the second engaged portion 27i is located below the lower end of the second reinforcing member 23a. In this embodiment, the second engaged portion 27i is the portion of the rear surface of the extended portion 27c that is located below the lower end of the second reinforcing member 23a in the first posture S1. That is, in this embodiment, in the first posture S1, the entire second engaged portion 27i is located below the lower end of the second reinforcing member 23a. Note that in the first posture S1, a part of the second engaged portion 27i may be located at the same position as the lower end of the second reinforcing member 23a in the vertical direction Z, or above the lower end of the second reinforcing member 23a. As shown in Figure 8, in the second position S2, the fascia plate 30 is engaged with the second engaged portion 27i from above.

[0054] As shown in Figure 6, in the first posture S1, the first engaged portion 27h is located behind (-X side) the first rotation axis AX1 in the longitudinal direction X. In the first posture S1 of this embodiment, the first rotation axis AX1 is located above and in front (+X side) the first engaged portion 27h. The first rotation axis AX1 is positioned to overlap with the extension portion 27c when viewed in the left-right direction Y. More specifically, the first rotation axis AX1 is positioned to overlap with the rear surface of the extension portion 27c when viewed in the left-right direction Y. In the first posture S1 of this embodiment, the second engaged portion 27i is positioned at the same location as the first rotation axis AX1 in the longitudinal direction X. In the first posture S1, the second engaged portion 27i may be positioned at a different location from the first rotation axis AX1 in the longitudinal direction X. In the first posture S1 of this embodiment, the second engaged portion 27i is located below the first rotation axis AX1.

[0055] In the first posture S1 of this embodiment, the first engaged portion 27h and the second engaged portion 27i are located in the second region AR2 of the first region AR1 and the second region AR2, which are separated by a virtual line IL4 when viewed in the left-right direction Y. The virtual line IL4 is a virtual line that passes through the first rotation axis line AX1 and extends in a direction inclined at 45° with respect to the up-down direction Z when viewed in the left-right direction Y. The virtual line IL4 is located lower as it moves towards the front side (+X side). The first region AR1 is the region above and in front of the virtual line IL4 when viewed in the left-right direction Y. The second region AR2 is the region below and behind (-X side) the virtual line IL4 when viewed in the left-right direction Y.

[0056] As described above, when changing from the first posture S1 to the second posture S2, the top plate structure 20 rotates 90° around the first rotation axis AX1 so that the portion of the top plate 21 in front of the first rotation axis AX1 moves downward. Therefore, the portion of the top plate structure 20 located in the second region AR2 when viewed in the left-right direction Y in the first posture S1 is located above the position in the vertical direction Z of the same portion in the first posture S1 when it becomes the second posture S2. The portion of the top plate structure 20 located on the dashed line IL4 when viewed in the left-right direction Y in the first posture S1 is located at the same position in the vertical direction Z as the same portion in the first posture S1 when it becomes the second posture S2. In Figure 8, the support body portion 27b in the first posture S1 is shown by a dashed line. As shown in Figure 8, the position in the vertical direction Z of the second engaged portion 27i in the second posture S2 is above the position in the vertical direction Z of the first engaged portion 27h in the first posture S1.

[0057] As shown in Figure 4, in the first posture S1, the position of the first engaged portion 27h in the longitudinal direction X is between the position in the longitudinal direction X at one end (front end) of the first reinforcing members 22a, 22b and the position in the longitudinal direction X at the other end (rear end) of the first reinforcing members 22a, 22b. In other words, in the first posture S1, the first engaged portion 27h is located behind (-X side) the front (+X side) end of the first reinforcing members 22a, 22b and in front of the rear end of the first reinforcing members 22a, 22b. In this embodiment, the entire fascia support portion 27 is located behind the front end of the first reinforcing members 22a, 22b and in front of the rear end of the first reinforcing members 22a, 22b.

[0058] In the first posture S1, the position of the first engaged portion 27h in the front-rear direction X is between the position of the virtual line IL2 in the front-rear direction X and the position of the virtual line IL3 in the front-rear direction X. In other words, in the first posture S1, the first engaged portion 27h is located behind (-X side) the virtual line IL2 and in front (+X side) the virtual line IL3. In this embodiment, the entire apron support portion 27 is located behind the virtual line IL2 and in front of the virtual line IL3. In the first posture S1, the first engaged portion 27h is located in the center of the top plate structure 20 in the front-rear direction X. In the first posture S1, the first engaged portion 27h is located in front of the virtual line IL1. In this embodiment, the entire apron support portion 27 is located in front of the virtual line IL1.

[0059] In the first posture S1, the first engaged portion 27h is located below the lower end of the second reinforcing member 23a. As shown in Figure 5, the fascia support portion 27 is located above the second reinforcing member 23a in the second posture S2. In other words, the second reinforcing member 23a is located below the fascia support portion 27 in the second posture S2.

[0060] As shown in Figure 2, in this embodiment, multiple fascia support parts 27 are provided. The multiple fascia support parts 27 are arranged with spacing in the left-right direction Y. In this embodiment, there are five multiple fascia support parts 27. The multiple fascia support parts 27 are fixed to the lower surface of the bottom wall portion 26a of the spacer 26.

[0061] The apron 30 is attached to the tabletop structure 20. The apron 30 is a plate-shaped plate with its surface facing the front-to-back direction X. The apron 30 is a rectangle that is long in the left-to-right direction Y when viewed in the front-to-back direction X. The apron 30 is hooked onto a plurality of apron support parts 27. The apron 30 hangs down from the apron support parts 27. The apron 30 has an apron body part 31. In this embodiment, the apron 30 consists of an apron body part 31. The apron body part 31 is a plate-shaped plate with its surface facing the front-to-back direction X. The apron body part 31 is a rectangle that is long in the left-to-right direction Y when viewed in the front-to-back direction X. The apron body part 31 hangs down from the apron support parts 27. In this embodiment, the apron body part 31 is flexible. The apron body part 31 is formed of, for example, felt.

[0062] The fascia board 30 has a first through-hole 30a that penetrates the fascia board 30 in the front-to-back direction X. The first through-hole 30a penetrates the fascia board body 31 in the front-to-back direction X. In this embodiment, the first through-hole 30a is rectangular in shape, with a pair of sides extending in the vertical direction Z and a pair of sides extending in the left-to-right direction Y when viewed in the front-to-back direction X. Multiple first through-holes 30a are formed at intervals in the left-to-right direction Y. There are five first through-holes 30a. As shown in Figure 6, each fascia board support 27 passes through the inside of each first through-hole 30a in the front-to-back direction X. More specifically, the support body 27b of each fascia board support 27 passes through the inside of each first through-hole 30a in the front-to-back direction X.

[0063] The apron 30 has an engaging portion 30b that engages with the apron support portion 27 from above. In this embodiment, the engaging portion 30b is the upper part of the inner edge of the first through hole 30a. The engaging portion 30b is slidable along the support body portion 27b. The posture of the apron 30 is such that it hangs downward from the apron support portion 27 in both the first posture S1 and the second posture S2. The posture of the apron 30 is maintained such that it hangs downward from the apron support portion 27 by the engaging portion 30b sliding along the support body portion 27b due to the weight of the apron 30 when the top plate structure 20 rotates.

[0064] As shown in Figure 8, when the top plate structure 20 changes from the first posture S1 to the second posture S2, the engaging portion 30b slides on the support body portion 27b of the apron support portion 27 from the first engaged portion 27h to the second engaged portion 27i. When the top plate structure 20 changes from the second posture S2 to the first posture S1, the engaging portion 30b slides on the support body portion 27b of the apron support portion 27 from the second engaged portion 27i to the first engaged portion 27h. Thus, the portion of the apron support portion 27 that the engaging portion 30b engages with changes between the first engaged portion 27h, which the engaging portion 30b engages with in the first posture S1, and the second engaged portion 27i, which the engaging portion 30b engages with in the second posture S2, as the posture of the top plate structure 20 switches between the first posture S1 and the second posture S2.

[0065] In the second posture S2, the upper end of the fascia board 30 is located higher than the upper end of the fascia board 30 in the first posture S1. In the example in Figure 8, in the second posture S2, the fascia board 30 is located further back (-X side) than the fascia board 30 in the first posture S1. As shown in Figure 7, in the first posture S1 of this embodiment, the upper end of the fascia board 30 is located lower than the lower end of the spacer 26. The upper end of the fascia board 30 is the upper end of the fascia board body 31. In the first posture S1, the upper end of the fascia board 30 is located lower than the tip 27g of the curved portion 27d. In the first posture S1, the upper end of the fascia board 30 may be located at the same position as the tip 27g of the curved portion 27d in the vertical Z direction, or it may be located higher than the tip 27g.

[0066] As shown in Figure 4, in the first posture S1, the position of the apron 30 in the front-rear direction X is between the position in the front-rear direction X at one end (front end) of the first reinforcing members 22a and 22b and the position in the front-rear direction X at the other end (rear end) of the first reinforcing members 22a and 22b in the front-rear direction X. In other words, in the first posture S1, the apron 30 is located behind (-X side) the front (+X side) end of the first reinforcing members 22a and 22b, and in front of the rear end of the first reinforcing members 22a and 22b. In the first posture S1, the position of the apron 30 in the front-rear direction X is between the position in the front-rear direction X of the imaginary line IL2 and the position in the front-rear direction X of the imaginary line IL3. In other words, in the first posture S1, the apron 30 is located behind the imaginary line IL2 and in front of the imaginary line IL3. In the first posture S1, the apron 30 is located in the center of the top plate structure 20 in the front-rear direction X. In the first posture S1, the fascia plate 30 is positioned in front of the virtual line IL1.

[0067] As shown in Figure 5, in the second posture S2, the lower end of the apron 30 is located below the second reinforcing member 23a. The lower end of the apron 30 is the lower end of the apron body 31. In the second posture S2, the lower end of the apron 30 is located below the lower end of the top plate 21. In the second posture S2, the lower end of the apron 30 is located above the floor surface F. In the second posture S2, the lower end of the apron 30 is located below the beam 13 and above the arm sections 11b and 12b. As shown in Figure 2, the left-right dimension Y of the apron 30 is smaller than the left-right distance Y between the leg sections 11 and 12.

[0068] According to this embodiment, the folding table 100 comprises a support structure 10, a tabletop structure 20 having a tabletop 21 and rotatable around a first rotation axis AX1 extending in the left-right direction Y (first horizontal direction) and supported by the support structure 10, and a skirt 30 attached to the tabletop structure 20. The orientation of the tabletop structure 20 is switchable between a first orientation S1 in which the orientation of the surface of the tabletop 21 includes a component in the up-down direction Z, and a second orientation S2 in which the orientation of the surface of the tabletop 21 includes a component in the front-back direction X (second horizontal direction) perpendicular to the left-right direction Y, and the inclination of the surface of the tabletop 21 with respect to a plane perpendicular to the up-down direction Z is greater than that of the first orientation S1. The tabletop structure 20 has a skirt support portion 27 provided on the lower surface 21b of the tabletop 21 that faces downward in the first orientation S1. The apron 30 has an engaging portion 30b that engages with the apron support portion 27 from above, and hangs downward from the apron support portion 27. The portion of the apron support portion 27 that the engaging portion 30b engages with changes between the first engaged portion 27h that the engaging portion 30b engages with in the first posture S1 and the second engaged portion 27i that the engaging portion 30b engages with in the second posture S2, as the posture of the tabletop structure 20 is switched between the first posture S1 and the second posture S2. The position of the second engaged portion 27i in the vertical direction Z in the second posture S2 is higher than the position of the first engaged portion 27h in the vertical direction Z in the first posture S1. Therefore, even when the posture of the tabletop structure 20 changes from the first posture S1 to the second posture S2, the apron 30 does not move downward. As a result, even if the lower end of the apron 30 is located near the floor surface F in the first position S1, the lower end of the apron 30 will not come into contact with the floor surface F when the tabletop structure 20 is in the second position S2. Therefore, constraints on the position of the lower end of the apron 30 are suppressed. Furthermore, the apron 30 is attached to the rotatable tabletop structure 20, and the part of the apron support 27 that engages with it changes as the tabletop structure 20 rotates. Therefore, unlike when the apron 30 is fixed to the support structure 10, interference between the upper end of the apron 30 and the rotatable tabletop structure 20 is suppressed. Therefore, constraints on the position of the upper end of the apron 30 are suppressed.As described above, this embodiment makes it possible to suppress constraints on the vertical Z dimension of the apron 30 in the folding table 100. Therefore, it is easier to make the vertical Z dimension of the apron 30 sufficiently long. Consequently, it is easier to sufficiently conceal the user's legs with the apron 30. Furthermore, when two users use the folding table 100 from the front and the back respectively, the apron 30 makes it easier to prevent the legs of the two users from directly colliding with each other.

[0069] Furthermore, the skirting board 30 is suspended by engaging with the skirting board support 27. Therefore, even if the user's legs hit the skirting board 30 when moving the folding table 100, the engaging portion 30b of the skirting board 30 slides along the skirting board support 27, allowing the skirting board 30 to move in accordance with the user's legs. As a result, even if the lower end of the skirting board 30 is positioned close to the floor surface F, it is possible to suppress the risk of, for example, the user's toes getting caught between the skirting board 30 and the floor surface F, compared to when the skirting board 30 is fixed to the support structure 10.

[0070] According to this embodiment, the top plate structure 20 has first reinforcing members 22a and 22b attached to the lower surface 21b of the top plate 21. The first reinforcing members 22a and 22b extend in the front-rear direction X (second horizontal direction) in the first posture S1. In the first posture S1, the position of the first engaged portion 27h in the front-rear direction X is between the position in the front-rear direction X at one end of the first reinforcing members 22a and 22b in the front-rear direction X and the position in the front-rear direction X at the other end of the first reinforcing members 22a and 22b in the front-rear direction X. Therefore, in the first posture S1, the skirting plate support portion 27 is easily provided in the central portion or close to the central portion of the top plate structure 20 in the front-rear direction X. In this case, compared to the case where the apron support portion 27 is provided at the front-rear end of the top plate structure 20 in the front-rear direction X, the second engaged portion 27i is less likely to move lower than the first engaged portion 27h in the first position S1 when the top plate structure 20 changes from the first position S1 to the second position S2. Therefore, it is easier to position the apron support portion 27 such that the position of the second engaged portion 27i in the vertical direction Z in the second position S2 is higher than the position of the first engaged portion 27h in the vertical direction Z in the first position S1.

[0071] According to this embodiment, the top plate structure 20 changes from the first position S1 to the second position S2 by rotating around the first rotation axis AX1 such that the portion of the top plate 21 located on the front side (first side) in the front-rear direction X (second horizontal direction) relative to the first rotation axis AX1 in the first position S1 moves downward. In the first position S1, the first engaged portion 27h is located on the rear side (second side) opposite to the front side in the front-rear direction X relative to the first rotation axis AX1. Therefore, when the top plate structure 20 rotates around the first rotation axis AX1 and changes from the first position S1 to the second position S2, it is easy to move the first engaged portion 27h upward. As a result, when the top plate structure 20 changes from the first position S1 to the second position S2, it is also easy for the second engaged portion 27i to move upward. Therefore, the fascia support portion 27 can be more favorably positioned such that the position of the second engaged portion 27i in the vertical direction Z in the second posture S2 is higher than the position of the first engaged portion 27h in the vertical direction Z in the first posture S1. In this embodiment, in the first posture S1, the first engaged portion 27h and the second engaged portion 27i are located in the lower and rear second region AR2 of the region demarcated by a virtual line IL4 that extends at a 45° angle with respect to the vertical direction Z when viewed in the left-right direction Y. Therefore, in the second posture S2, the first engaged portion 27h and the second engaged portion 27i are each located higher than the position of each engaged portion in the vertical direction Z in the first posture S1.

[0072] According to this embodiment, the skirting plate support portion 27 has a support body portion 27b having a first engaged portion 27h and a second engaged portion 27i. The support body portion 27b is hook-shaped when viewed in the left-right direction Y (first horizontal direction). Therefore, the engaging portion 30b of the skirting plate 30 can be easily engaged with the support body portion 27b, and the skirting plate 30 can be easily attached to the top plate structure 20. In addition, the skirting plate 30 can be easily removed from the support body portion 27b.

[0073] According to this embodiment, the support body portion 27b has a curved portion 27d that curves downward in a direction convex to the left-right direction Y (first horizontal direction) when viewed in the first position S1, and an extended portion 27c that extends upward from the front (first side) end of the curved portion 27d in the first position S1. The curved portion 27d has a first engaged portion 27h. The extended portion 27c has a second engaged portion 27i. Because the support body portion 27b has a hook shape with such a curved portion 27d and an extended portion 27c, when the top plate structure 20 changes from the first position S1 to the second position S2, the apron 30 is prevented from coming off the support body portion 27b, and the portion of the support body portion 27b that engages with the engaging portion 30b of the apron 30 can be easily changed from the first engaged portion 27h to the second engaged portion 27i.

[0074] According to this embodiment, the top plate structure 20 has a second reinforcing member 23a attached to the lower surface 21b of the top plate 21. The second reinforcing member 23a is located below the skirt plate support portion 27 in the second posture S2. In the second posture S2, the lower end of the skirt plate 30 is located below the second reinforcing member 23a. In the first posture S1, at least a portion of the second engaged portion 27i is located below the lower end of the second reinforcing member 23a. Therefore, in the second posture S2, the position of the skirt plate 30 that engages with the second engaged portion 27i in the front-rear direction X is easily positioned behind the rear (-X side) end of the second reinforcing member 23a. This suppresses interference between the skirt plate 30 and the second reinforcing member 23a in the second posture S2, and suppresses the skirt plate 30 from being tilted with respect to the vertical direction Z in the second posture S2.

[0075] According to this embodiment, the top plate structure 20 has a spacer 26 attached to the lower surface 21b of the top plate 21. The skirt support portion 27 is fixed to the top plate 21 via the spacer 26. Therefore, in the first position S1, the skirt support portion 27 can be positioned away from the lower surface 21b of the top plate 21 by the dimension of the spacer 26 in the vertical direction Z. This makes it easier to position the second engaged portion 27i below the lower end of the second reinforcing member 23a in the first position S1 without increasing the vertical dimension Z of the skirt support portion 27. Thus, it is possible to suppress the skirt support portion 27 from becoming larger while suppressing the skirt 30 from being positioned at an angle with respect to the vertical direction Z in the second position S2.

[0076] According to this embodiment, the skirting board 30 has a first through-hole 30a that penetrates the skirting board 30 in the front-rear direction X (second horizontal direction). The skirting board support portion 27 is passed through the inside of the first through-hole 30a in the front-rear direction X. The engaging portion 30b is the upper part of the inner edge of the first through-hole 30a. Therefore, by passing the skirting board support portion 27 through the first through-hole 30a, the skirting board 30 can be easily engaged with the skirting board support portion 27. Consequently, the skirting board 30 can be attached to the tabletop structure 20 more easily. In addition, the skirting board 30 can be removed from the tabletop structure 20 more easily.

[0077] According to this embodiment, the skirting board 30 has a skirting board body portion 31 that hangs downward from the skirting board support portion 27. The skirting board body portion 31 is flexible. Therefore, when the skirting board body portion 31 comes into contact with the user's body, the skirting board body portion 31 can easily deform to conform to the shape of the user's body. As a result, when the user uses the folding table 100, when the user folds the folding table 100, or when the user moves the folding table 100, the force the user receives from the skirting board 30 is reduced even if the user comes into contact with the skirting board 30. As a result, the skirting board 30 is less likely to get in the way, improving the user's convenience.

[0078] The following describes embodiments that differ from those described above. In the following descriptions of each embodiment, components similar to those described in the section above may be omitted from the description by using the same reference numerals as appropriate. Also, for parts corresponding to the components described in the section above each embodiment, the same name and different reference numerals will be used to explain the differences from the above-described configuration, while the explanation of similar components may be omitted. Note that, within the scope of consistency, components similar to those described in the section above each embodiment may be adopted as components whose description is omitted.

[0079] <Second Embodiment> As shown in Figure 9, in the folding table 200 of this embodiment, the position of the first rotation axis portion 211f extending in the left-right direction Y, and the position of the first rotation axis (rotation axis) AX1a, which is the center line of the first rotation axis portion 211f, differ from that of the first embodiment. The orientation of the folding table 220 is switched between a first orientation S1 and a second orientation S2 by the folding table 220 rotating around the first rotation axis AX1a. Figure 9 shows a part of the folding table 200 when the orientation of the folding table 200 is the first orientation S1. Figure 9 shows the support body portion 27b and the skirt plate 30 of the skirt plate support portion 27 when the orientation of the folding table 220 is the second orientation S2, indicated by a dashed line. In the following description, unless otherwise specified, the relative positional relationships of each part when the orientation of the folding table 220 is the first orientation S1 will be described.

[0080] In this embodiment, the first rotation axis AX1a is located behind (-X side) the first rotation axis AX1 of the first embodiment. In this embodiment, the first engaged portion 27h and the second engaged portion 27i of the fascia support portion 27 are located in front of (+X side) the first rotation axis AX1a. The first rotation axis AX1a is located behind the support body portion 27b. The first engaged portion 27h is located in the second region AR2a of the first region AR1a and the second region AR2a, which are separated by the imaginary line IL4a when viewed in the left-right direction Y. The imaginary line IL4a is an imaginary line that passes through the first rotation axis AX1a and extends in a direction inclined at 45° with respect to the up-down direction Z when viewed in the left-right direction Y. The imaginary line IL4a is located lower as it moves towards the front. The first region AR1a is the region above and in front of the imaginary line IL4a when viewed in the left-right direction Y. The second region, AR2a, is the area below and behind the virtual line IL4a when viewed in the left-right direction Y.

[0081] In this embodiment, the second engaged portion 27i is located in the first region AR1a when viewed in the left-right direction Y. Therefore, in this embodiment, when the tabletop structure 220 changes from the first posture S1 to the second posture S2, the position of the second engaged portion 27i moves downward. In this embodiment, the vertical position Z of the second engaged portion 27i in the second posture S2 is the same as the vertical position Z of the first engaged portion 27h in the first posture S1. The tabletop structure 220 of this embodiment is the same as the tabletop structure 20 of the first embodiment, except that the positions of the first rotating shaft portion 211f and the first rotating axis line AX1a are different. The other configurations of the folding table 200 are the same as the other configurations of the folding table 100 in the first embodiment.

[0082] According to this embodiment, the position of the second engaged portion 27i in the vertical direction Z in the second posture S2 is the same as the position of the first engaged portion 27h in the vertical direction Z in the first posture S1. Therefore, even when the posture of the tabletop structure 220 changes from the first posture S1 to the second posture S2, the apron 30 does not move downward. As a result, similar to the first embodiment, constraints on the position of the lower end of the apron 30 are suppressed. Also, similar to the first embodiment, constraints on the position of the upper end of the apron 30 are suppressed. Thus, according to this embodiment, constraints on the vertical direction Z dimension of the apron 30 in the folding table 200 can be suppressed.

[0083] <Third Embodiment> As shown in Figure 10, in the folding table 300 of this embodiment, the shape of the apron support portion 327 differs from the shape of the apron support portion 27 of the first embodiment. Figure 10 shows a part of the folding table 300 when the posture of the tabletop structure 320 is the first posture S1. In Figure 10, the support body portion 327b of the apron support portion 327 and the apron 330 when the posture of the tabletop structure 320 is the second posture S2 are shown by a dashed line. In the following description, unless otherwise specified, the relative positional relationships of each part when the posture of the tabletop structure 320 is the first posture S1 will be described.

[0084] The fascia support portion 327 has a fixed portion 27a, a connecting portion 327j, and a support body portion 327b. The connecting portion 327j extends downward from the fixed portion 27a. The upper end of the connecting portion 327j connects to a portion of the fixed portion 27a that is located behind (-X side) the front (+X side) end. The support body portion 327b connects to the lower end of the connecting portion 327j. In this embodiment, the support body portion 327b is an annular shape surrounding the fourth rotation axis AX4. The fourth rotation axis AX4 is a virtual line extending in the left-right direction Y. In this embodiment, the fourth rotation axis AX4 is located below and behind the first rotation axis AX1. When viewed in the left-right direction Y, the support body portion 327b is an annular shape centered on the fourth rotation axis AX4. In this embodiment, the entire support body 327b is located below and behind the first rotation axis AX1. The entire support body 327b is located in the second region AR2 when viewed in the left-right direction Y.

[0085] The portion of the inner circumferential surface of the support body 327b that is located on the lower side in the first posture S1 is the first engaged portion 327h. The portion of the inner circumferential surface of the support body 327b that is located on the front side (+X side) in the first posture S1 is the second engaged portion 327i. In the second posture S2, the second engaged portion 327i is the portion of the inner circumferential surface of the support body 327b that is located on the lower side.

[0086] The fascia board 330 has a fascia board body portion 331 and an engaging portion 332. The fascia board body portion 331 has the same shape as the fascia board body portion 31 in the first embodiment, except that the first through hole 30a is not formed therein. The fascia board body portion 331 hangs down from the fascia board support portion 327. The engaging portion 332 is fixed to the upper end of the fascia board body portion 331. The engaging portion 332 is cylindrical and extends in the left-right direction Y. The engaging portion 332 is fitted inside the support body portion 327b. The engaging portion 332 is rotatable around the fourth rotation axis AX4 relative to the support body portion 327b.

[0087] When the top plate structure 320 rotates around the first rotation axis AX1, the engaging portion 332 rotates relative to the apron support portion 327 around the fourth rotation axis AX4. As a result, even when the top plate structure 320 rotates, the posture of the apron 330 is maintained in a position where it hangs downward from the apron support portion 327. The portion of the apron support portion 327 that the engaging portion 332 engages with changes between the first engaged portion 327h, which the engaging portion 332 engages with from above in the first posture S1, and the second engaged portion 327i, which the engaging portion 332 engages with from above in the second posture S2, as the posture of the top plate structure 320 switches between the first posture S1 and the second posture S2.

[0088] In the second posture S2, the position of the second engaged portion 327i in the vertical direction Z is higher than the position of the first engaged portion 327h in the vertical direction Z in the first posture S1. Therefore, when the top plate structure 320 changes from the first posture S1 to the second posture S2, the apron 330 moves upward. In the example in Figure 10, the position of the apron 330 in the front-rear direction X in the second posture S2 is further back (-X side) than the position of the apron 330 in the front-rear direction X in the first posture S1.

[0089] The other configurations of the tabletop structure 320 are the same as those of the tabletop structure 20 and other configurations in the first embodiment. The other configurations of the folding table 300 are the same as those of the folding table 100 in the first embodiment. In this embodiment as well, as in the first embodiment, it is possible to suppress constraints on the vertical Z dimension of the modesty panel 330 in the folding table 300.

[0090] <Fourth Embodiment> As shown in Figure 11, the folding table 400 of this embodiment differs from the folding table 100 of the first embodiment in the configuration of the skirting plate 430. The skirting plate 430 has a skirting plate body portion 431 and a ring member 433. The skirting plate body portion 431 has a second through hole 430a that penetrates the skirting plate body portion 431 in the front-rear direction X. The second through hole 430a is the same as the first through hole 30a of the first embodiment, except that its size when viewed from the left-right direction Y is larger than that of the first through hole 30a of the first embodiment. The skirting plate body portion 431 is the same as the skirting plate body portion 31 of the first embodiment, except that the second through hole 430a is formed instead of the first through hole 30a.

[0091] The ring member 433 is made of metal. The ring member 433 is fixed inside the second through hole 430a. The ring member 433 opens in the front-rear direction X. In this embodiment, the ring member 433 is rectangular in shape when viewed in the front-rear direction X. The outer edge of the ring member 433 is fixed to the inner edge of the second through hole 430a. The ring member 433 may also be circular in shape when viewed in the front-rear direction X. The apron support portion 27 of the top plate structure 20 passes through the inside of the ring member 433 in the front-rear direction X. The upper part of the inner edge of the ring member 433 is the engaging portion 433a. The engaging portion 433a engages with the support body portion 27b of the apron support portion 27 from above. Although not shown in the figures, multiple second through holes 430a and ring members 433 are provided at intervals in the left-right direction Y. The other configurations of the skirting board 430 are the same as those of the skirting board 30 in the first embodiment. The other configurations of the folding table 400 are the same as those of the folding table 100 in the first embodiment.

[0092] According to this embodiment, the skirting plate 430 has a skirting plate body portion 431 that hangs downward from the skirting plate support portion 27 and a metal ring member 433. The skirting plate body portion 431 has a second through hole 430a that penetrates the skirting plate body portion 431 in the front-rear direction X (second horizontal direction). The ring member 433 is fixed inside the second through hole 430a and opens in the front-rear direction X. The skirting plate support portion 27 passes through the inside of the ring member 433 in the front-rear direction X. The engaging portion 433a is the upper part of the inner edge of the ring member 433. Therefore, the engaging portion 433a is made of metal, making it easier for the engaging portion 433a to slide against the skirting plate support portion 27. As a result, when the top plate structure 20 changes between the first position S1 and the second position S2, the part of the skirting plate support portion 27 that the engaging portion 433a engages with can easily change. Furthermore, wear of the engaging portion 433a can be suppressed when the engaging portion 433a slides against the fascia support portion 27. These effects are particularly useful when the fascia body portion 431 is made of a flexible material such as felt.

[0093] <Fifth Embodiment> As shown in Figure 12, in the folding table 500 of this embodiment, the vertical Z dimension of the modesty panel 530 is larger than the vertical Z dimension of the modesty panel 30 in the first embodiment. Figure 12 shows the folding table 500 when the posture of the tabletop structure 20 is the first posture S1. In the following description, unless otherwise specified, the relative positional relationships of each part will be described when the posture of the tabletop structure 20 is the first posture S1.

[0094] The apron 530 has an apron body portion 531. The apron body portion 531 is the same as the apron body portion 31 of the first embodiment, except that its dimension in the vertical direction Z is larger than that of the apron body portion 31 of the first embodiment. The lower end of the apron 530 is located lower than the lower end of the apron 30 of the first embodiment. The lower end of the apron 530 is the lower end of the apron body portion 531. In the example in Figure 12, the lower end of the apron 530 is located lower than the upper surfaces of the arm portions 11b and 12b. In the example in Figure 12, the lower end of the apron 530 is located slightly above the floor surface F. The other configurations of the apron 530 are the same as the other configurations of the apron 30 in the first embodiment. The other configurations of the folding table 500 are the same as the other configurations of the folding table 100 in the first embodiment.

[0095] According to this embodiment, since the vertical dimension Z of the apron 530 is larger than that of the apron 30 in the first embodiment, the user's legs can be more effectively concealed by the apron 530. Also, similar to the first embodiment, the apron 530 does not move downwards even when the tabletop structure 20 of the folding table 500 is changed from a first position S1 to a second position S2. Therefore, even if the lower end of the apron 530 is brought close to the floor surface F, the lower end of the apron 530 will not come into contact with the floor surface F when the tabletop structure 20 changes from the first position S1 to the second position S2.

[0096] Although embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the configurations of the embodiments described above, and the following configurations and methods can also be adopted.

[0097] The position of the second engaged portion in the vertical direction Z in the second posture S2 may be lower than the position of the first engaged portion in the vertical direction Z in the first posture S1. Even in this case, if the position of the first engaged portion in the second horizontal direction (front-rear direction X) in the first posture is between the position in the second horizontal direction at one end of the first reinforcing member in the second horizontal direction and the position in the second horizontal direction at the other end of the first reinforcing member in the second horizontal direction, it is easier to reduce the amount of downward movement of the second engaged portion when changing from the first posture S1 to the second posture S2. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the position of the second engaged portion in the vertical direction Z in the second posture S2 from becoming too low. This suppresses constraints on the position of the lower end of the fascia board and suppresses constraints on the vertical direction Z dimension of the fascia board.

[0098] The apron support can have any structure as long as the portion to which the apron's engaging portion engages is variable between the first engaged portion and the second engaged portion. The apron can have any configuration as long as it has an engaging portion and hangs downward from the apron support. The apron body does not need to be flexible. The apron body may be made of resin or metal. The second horizontal position of the apron support and the apron is not particularly limited. The use of the folding table is not particularly limited.

[0099] The configurations and methods described herein can be combined as appropriate, within the bounds of non-inconsistency. [Explanation of Symbols]
