Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a foldable table that can be set in a folded state and an assembled state, and includes a rectangular top plate composed of two plate materials, a pair of legs swingably connected to opposite edge portions of the top plate via hinges, and two plate members swingably connected to each other via hinges at edge portions of the legs, and the two plate members are connected by a hinge and are folded and stored between the pair of legs in the folded state.

Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, as such a foldable table, there is, for example, the one shown in Patent Document 1 (see

[0005] to

[0008] ,

[0028] to

[0030] , FIG. 3).

[0003] This prior art relates to a step ladder that can be folded when not in use and can be easily unfolded and assembled when in use. This step ladder includes two top plate materials 2b and 2c, front and rear long side plates 4, and two short side plates 3 connected between the long side plates 4. When not in use, the members swing relative to each other by hinges connecting the respective members and are folded into a substantially planar shape.

[0004] The top plate materials 2b and 2c are rotatably connected via a top plate hinge 2a provided along the long side edge direction of the top plate from the central position of the short side edge of the top plate. Each of the pair of short side plates 3 is rotatably connected inward via a short side plate hinge 3c extending downward from the central position of the short side edge of the top plate materials 2b and 2c.

[0005] Each of the pair of long side plates 4 has its long side rotatably connected to the long side edge of the top plate materials 2b and 2c via a long side hinge, and its short side rotatably connected to the short side plate via a short side hinge 4a. This foldable step ladder further has a reinforcing member 5 locked to the back surfaces of the top plate materials 2b and 2c. This reinforcing member 5 has its bottom edge in contact with the installation surface when the foldable step ladder is in use.

[0006] In this configuration, it is characterized in that the reinforcing member 5 is particularly provided. The reinforcing member 5 is composed of a pair of reinforcing plates 5a and 5b respectively locked to the two top plates 2b and 2c. The edges of this pair of reinforcing plates 5a and 5b on the side of the top plates 2b and 2c are rotatably supported on the top plates 2b and 2c along the long side edge direction of the top plates 2b and 2c. On the other hand, the other edges of the reinforcing plates 5a and 5b are rotatably connected via a hinge 5c for the reinforcing plate. The reinforcing member 5 has a V-shaped vertical cross-section in the assembled state.

[0007] The reinforcing member 5 is arranged at the central position (or substantially central position) on the back surface of the top plate 2. With this configuration, it is said that the reinforcing member 5 can support the center of the back surface of the top plate 2 and increase the load-bearing capacity.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0009] However, in the above conventional configuration, the connecting portion of the V-shaped assembled reinforcing plates 5a and 5b may not contact the installation surface. For example, when installed on an uneven ground, the connecting portion of the reinforcing plates may be in a lifted state, or conversely, when contacting the installation surface, other long side plates 4 etc. may be lifted. In this case, there may be inconveniences such as the step not being stable, or the long side plate 4 and the short side plate 3 being forced to contact the installation surface, causing each member to bend and deform, and the hinge part to come off.

[0010] Even if the hinge does not come off, as a result of the long side plate 4 and the short side plate 3 bending and deforming, the expected strength may not be exerted, and the load-bearing capacity may decrease.

[0011] Furthermore, providing the reinforcing plates 5a and 5b increases the number of parts, resulting in an increase in the cost of part manufacturing and the number of assembly steps.

[0012] Thus, in the conventional folding table, there are still problems to be solved, and there has been a demand for a folding table with a simple structure but increased load-bearing capacity.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0013] (Characteristic Configuration) The characteristic configuration of the folding table according to the present invention is a first tabletop and a second tabletop, both of which are rectangular and swingably connected by a tabletop hinge so as to form a tabletop, to receive the load from the tabletop, a first leg portion swingably connected by a first leg hinge to an edge portion of the first tabletop parallel to the tabletop hinge, a second leg portion swingably connected by a second leg hinge to an edge portion of the second tabletop parallel to the tabletop hinge, a folding leg portion swingably connected by a leg hinge to each of a pair of edge portions of the first leg portion that intersect the first leg hinge and each of a pair of edge portions of the second leg portion that intersect the second leg hinge, and connected via a folding hinge substantially parallel to the leg hinge so as to be able to abut near an edge portion of the tabletop where the first leg hinge and the second leg hinge are not provided, a first reinforcing rib protruding toward the back side beyond the thickness of the first tabletop is formed on a part of the back surface of the first tabletop, and a second reinforcing rib protruding toward the back side beyond the thickness of the second tabletop is formed on a part of the back surface of the second tabletop.

[0014] (Effect) The first tabletop and the second tabletop are swingably connected by a tabletop hinge, and there is a slight gap between members at the connection portion of the tabletop hinge. Therefore, when a large load acts on the center of the tabletop, the vicinity of the center of the tabletop that is not supported by other members on the back side may bend downward.

[0015] However, with this configuration, the strength of each top plate is increased by the first reinforcing rib that exceeds the thickness of the first top plate and the second reinforcing rib that exceeds the thickness of the second top plate. Therefore, the bending deformation of the top plate under load is suppressed, and the load acting on the top plate is efficiently transmitted to the surrounding legs, enabling the obtainment of a folding table with high load-bearing capacity.

[0016] (Characteristic configuration) In the folding table according to the present invention, when the first top plate and the second top plate are in a folded state, the first reinforcing rib and the second reinforcing rib are formed at different positions from each other in a direction perpendicular to the first top plate or the second top plate as viewed, a space for accommodating the second reinforcing rib is formed on the back side of the first top plate, and a space for accommodating the first reinforcing rib may be formed on the back side of the second top plate.

[0017] (Effect) With this configuration, even when the protruding lengths of the first reinforcing rib and the second reinforcing rib are configured to be large beyond the thicknesses of the first top plate and the second top plate, the two reinforcing ribs overlap and fit inside the thicknesses of the first top plate and the second top plate in the folded state. Therefore, a reinforcing structure for the first top plate and the second top plate can be obtained without increasing the volume occupied by the first top plate and the second top plate in the folded state.

[0018] (Characteristic configuration) In the folding table according to the present invention, a first opening is formed in the first top plate, a second opening is formed in the second top plate, and when the first top plate and the second top plate are in a folded state, the first opening and the second opening overlap to form a first handle. The first reinforcing rib is formed in a region near the first opening and along the direction along the top plate hinge and longer than the length of the first opening. It is advantageous that the second reinforcing rib is formed in a region near the second opening and along the direction along the top plate hinge and longer than the length of the second opening.

[0019] (Effect) Since the formation position of the first reinforcing rib or the second reinforcing rib is formed longer than the length of the first opening or the length of the second opening in the direction along the top plate hinge, the strength reduction of the top plate due to the provision of the opening can be sufficiently compensated, and a top plate with high strength can be obtained.

[0020] (Characteristic configuration) In the folding table according to the present invention, a third opening is provided near the edge of the first leg portion that is spaced apart from and opposed to the first top leg hinge. A fourth opening is provided near the edge of the second leg portion that is spaced apart from and opposed to the second top leg hinge. When the first leg portion and the second leg portion are in a folded state, the third opening and the fourth opening overlap to form a second handle.

[0021] (Effect) By providing a third opening in the first leg portion and a fourth opening in the second leg portion to form the second handle, a handle that is easy to hold can be configured.

[0022] For example, when a handle is configured by providing a first opening near the top plate hinge of the first top plate and a second opening near the top plate hinge of the second top plate, when the first top plate and the second top plate are folded and the handle is gripped, the components of the top plate hinge will be gripped simultaneously. In this case, since the top plate hinge requires a predetermined strength, the top plate hinge will have a predetermined volume. Therefore, in the configuration of gripping this part, the handle will be thick.

[0023] On the other hand, in this configuration, since the third opening and the fourth opening are formed near the edges where no hinge is formed in the first leg portion and the second leg portion, the volume of the member to be gripped becomes small. Therefore, an extremely easy-to-hold handle can be obtained.

[0024] (Characteristic configuration) In the folding table according to the present invention, it is advantageous that the entire area of the edge of the folding leg that does not contact the top plate and where neither the leg hinge nor the folding hinge is provided overlaps, in the folded state, with the edge of the first leg that faces away from the first top leg hinge and the edge of the second leg that faces away from the second top leg hinge.

[0025] (Effect) With the present configuration, since the edges of the first leg, the edges of the second leg, and the edges of the two folding legs all overlap when in the folded state, even if an external object contacts these edges in the folded state, the edges will immediately contact each other and it is difficult for unexpected bending deformation to occur. Therefore, even if a heavy external object is placed on the edge, the possibility of damage to the first leg etc. is reduced.

[0026] Also, since all the edges such as those of the first leg overlap in the folded state, the design quality in the folded state is enhanced. Therefore, a folding table with extremely high texture can be obtained.

Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0028] 〔First Embodiment〕 (Overview) The first embodiment of the folding table according to the present invention is shown in FIGS. 1 to 4. As shown in FIG. 1, the folding table D according to the present invention has a top plate A in which a rectangular first top plate 1 and a second top plate 2 are swingably connected using a top plate hinge H1. In the folded state, the first top plate 1 and the second top plate 2 are in surface contact with each other via the top plate hinge H1.

[0029] To receive the load from the top plate A, a first leg portion 3 and a second leg portion 4 are swingably connected to a pair of opposing edge portions of the top plate A. The first leg portion 3 is swingably connected to the edge portion of the first top plate 1 parallel to the top plate hinge H1 by a first top leg hinge H2, and the second leg portion 4 is swingably connected to the edge portion of the second top plate 2 parallel to the top plate hinge H1 by a second top leg hinge H3.

[0030] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, folding leg portions 5 and 6 are connected across the edge portions on both sides of the first leg portion 3 and the edge portions on both sides of the second leg portion 4. That is, the folding leg portions 5 and 6 are swingably connected via leg hinges H4 to a pair of edge portions of the first leg portion 3 that intersect the first top leg hinge H2 and a pair of edge portions of the second leg portion 4 that intersect the second top leg hinge H3, respectively. The folding leg portions 5 and 6 are each composed of plate-like members, and in a state where these two members are assembled to form a single planar shape, they can be abutted in the vicinity of the edge portion of the top plate A where the first top leg hinge H2 and the second top leg hinge H3 are not provided.

[0031] More specifically, a concave receiving portion H5a is formed at the end of the portion connected by the folding hinge H5 of the pair of folding leg portions 5 and 6. The top plate hinge H1 of the top plate A is fitted into this receiving portion H5a, and the load from the top plate hinge H1 is transmitted to the end of the folding hinge H5. Further, the load is transmitted to the installation surface via the plane of the pair of folding leg portions 5 and 6.

[0032] With this configuration, since the lower surface of the top plate A in the assembled state is supported by the pair of first legs 3 and second legs 4 as well as the folding legs 5 and 6, the deflection of the top plate A when a load acts on the top plate A can be suppressed as much as possible. Therefore, a folding table D with high rigidity can be obtained.

[0033] Protrusion pieces F are integrally formed on the upper edges of each of the pair of folding legs 5 and 6. This protrusion piece F engages with a recess G formed on the lower surface of the first top plate 1 or the second top plate 2 when the table is in the assembled state. Thereby, a situation where the folding legs 5 and 6 are unexpectedly folded during use of the table can be prevented.

[0034] (First reinforcing rib and second reinforcing rib) Reinforcing ribs for enhancing the strength of each are formed on the first top plate 1 and the second top plate 2 of the present embodiment. Specifically, in the present embodiment, a first opening TA is formed in the first top plate 1, and a second opening TB is formed in the second top plate 2. These overlap each other to form the first handle T when the first top plate 1 and the second top plate 2 are in the folded state.

[0035] However, providing these first opening TA and second opening TB reduces the strength of the first top plate 1 and the second top plate 2. Further, the first top plate 1 and the second top plate 2 are swingably connected by a top plate hinge H1, and there is a slight gap between members at the connection portion of the top plate hinge H1. Therefore, when a large load acts on the center of the top plate A, the vicinity of the center of the top plate A that is not abutted and supported by other members on the back side may bend downward.

[0036] Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 4(a) and 4(b), a first reinforcing rib R1 is formed near the first opening TA, and a second reinforcing rib R2 is formed near the second opening TB. The first reinforcing rib R1 is formed on a part of the back surface of the first top plate 1. In particular, the region indicated by the thick line in FIG. 4(a) protrudes toward the back surface side beyond the thickness of the first top plate 1. In FIG. 4(a), the part indicated by the dashed line parallel to the first reinforcing rib R1 is a normal rib, and the height of this rib is the same and is within the thickness of the first top plate 1. Similarly, the second reinforcing rib R2 is formed on a part of the back surface of the second top plate 2. The region indicated by the thick line is the second reinforcing rib R2, and the dashed lines on both sides thereof are normal ribs. The second reinforcing rib R2 protrudes toward the back surface side beyond the thickness of the second top plate 2.

[0037] With this configuration, the first reinforcing rib R1 and the second reinforcing rib R2 improve the bending rigidity of the first top plate 1 and the second top plate 2, and increase the strength of the top plate A. Therefore, the load acting on the top plate A is efficiently transmitted to the surrounding legs, and a folding table D with high load resistance can be obtained.

[0038] The first top plate 1 and the second top plate 2 preferably overlap each other so that the gap between them is minimized in the folded state. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4(b), in the folded state, the first reinforcing rib R1 and the second reinforcing rib R2 are formed so as to be at different positions from each other in the direction perpendicular to the first top plate 1 or the second top plate 2. Further, a space is formed on the back side of the first top plate 1 to accommodate the second reinforcing rib R2 in a state where it protrudes, and a space is formed on the back side of the second top plate 2 to accommodate the first reinforcing rib R1 in a state where it protrudes.

[0039] With this configuration, even when the heights of the first reinforcing rib R1 and the second reinforcing rib R2 are configured to be greater than the thicknesses of the first top plate 1 and the second top plate 2, both reinforcing ribs overlap and are accommodated inside the thicknesses of the first top plate 1 and the second top plate 2 in the folded state. Therefore, the first top plate 1 and the second top plate 2 can be reinforced without increasing the volume occupied by the first top plate 1 and the second top plate 2 in the folded state.

[0040] The first reinforcing rib R1 and the second reinforcing rib R2 are formed in the following regions. Since a first opening TA is formed in the first top plate 1 and a second opening TB is formed in the second top plate 2 in order to form the first handle T for conveyance, it is preferable to reinforce the peripheries of these openings. Specifically, the first reinforcing rib R1 is formed in the vicinity of the first opening TA and in a region longer than the length of the first opening TA along the direction along the top plate hinge H1. The second reinforcing rib R2 is formed in the vicinity of the second opening TB and in a region longer than the length of the second opening TB along the direction along the top plate hinge H1.

[0041] With this configuration, the strength reduction of the top plate A due to the provision of the first opening TA and the second opening TB is sufficiently compensated, and a top plate A with high strength can be obtained. Incidentally, on the back surfaces of the first top plate 1 and the second top plate 2, in addition to the first reinforcing rib R1 and the second reinforcing rib R2, a large number of wall portions having a hexagonal honeycomb shape are erected, ensuring the strength of the members.

[0042] In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, at the edges of the folding leg portions 5 and 6, which do not contact the top plate A and where the leg hinge H4 and the folding hinge H5 are not provided, the entire region of the edges is formed so as to overlap, in the folded state, the edge of the first leg portion 3 that is spaced apart and opposed to the first top leg hinge H2, and the edge of the second leg portion 4 that is spaced apart and opposed to the second top leg hinge H3. In this part, the four members overlap each other, and for example, when viewed in a direction orthogonal to the first leg portion 3, all the edges can be seen overlapping.

[0043] With this configuration, even when an external object contacts the first leg portion 3 or the second leg portion 4 located outside in the folded state, since the edges of the four members contact in the overlapping direction, a situation where only one of the members undergoes bending deformation does not occur. Therefore, even when a heavy object is placed on the first leg portion 3 in the folded state, etc., the first leg portion 3 and the like are less likely to be damaged.

[0044] In addition, when the edges of the first leg portion 3 overlap completely in the folded state, the design property in the folded state is enhanced, and a folding table D with extremely high texture can be obtained.

[0045] In addition, a long convex portion C is formed in a region along the leg hinge H4 in the first leg portion 3 and the second leg portion 4. This convex portion C is configured such that the surface of the first leg portion 3 and the like is convex and the corresponding back surface is concave. Therefore, while suppressing an increase in the weight of the first leg portion 3, the strength is improved. As a result, even when a large load acts on the top plate A, out-of-plane deformation of the first leg portion 3 and the second leg portion 4 is suppressed, and the possibility that the leg hinge H4 accidentally comes off is reduced. Therefore, a folding table D with a large load-bearing capacity can be obtained.

[0046] As shown in FIG. 1, a second handle t is formed on the first leg portion 3 and the second leg portion 4. Specifically, a third opening ta is formed near an edge portion of the first leg portion 3 that is spaced apart and opposed to the first top leg hinge H2, and similarly, a fourth opening tb is formed near an edge portion of the second leg portion 4 that is spaced apart and opposed to the second top leg hinge H3. When the first leg portion 3 and the second leg portion 4 are in the folded state, the third opening ta and the fourth opening tb overlap each other to form the second handle t.

[0047] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the edge portions near the portions where the second handle t is formed on the first leg portion 3 and the second leg portion 4 are retracted toward the side of the top plate A with respect to the tip of the leg portion with respect to the installation surface. In addition, the position where the second handle t is formed is such that only the first leg portion 3 and the second leg portion 4 exist in the folded state, and there is no overlap of the folded leg portions 5 and 6. Therefore, the second handle t is a very easy-to-hold handle.

[0048] For example, the first top plate 1 and the second top plate 2 are respectively provided with a first opening TA and a second opening TB to form a first handle T. However, when the first top plate 1 and the second top plate 2 are in the folded state and the handle is gripped, the constituent members of the top plate hinge H1 need to be gripped at the same time. Since the top plate hinge H1 requires a predetermined strength, its size becomes large. Therefore, in the configuration of gripping the top plate hinge H1, the handle becomes thick.

[0049] On the other hand, in the configuration related to the second handle t, third openings ta and fourth openings tb are formed near the edges where no hinges are formed on the first leg portion 3 and the second leg portion 4. For this reason, the physical size of the portion to be gripped becomes smaller, and an extremely easy-to-hold handle can be obtained.

[0050] Furthermore, the presence of the second handle t at this position improves the transportability. When carrying the folded platform using the first handle T, a member obtained by summing the lengths of the first top plate 1 and the first leg portion 3 hangs down below the first handle T. For this reason, the gap from the ground decreases, and for example, when placing it on the loading platform of a vehicle or when walking up stairs, it is necessary to lift the entire platform slightly.

[0051] On the other hand, when transporting the platform D using the second handle t, the top plate hinge H1 moves downward, and the distance from the second handle t to the top plate hinge H1 becomes significantly shorter than the distance from the previous first handle T to below the first leg portion 3. Therefore, the possibility of interference with other objects is reduced.

[0052] Also, when using the second handle t, it is near the center of gravity of the entire folded platform D, and even when the platform D sways, it is difficult to feel the rotational inertia. Therefore, the transport force is felt to be small.

[0053] 〔Second Embodiment〕 As shown in FIGS. 6(a) and 6(b), regarding the fixing of the folding leg portions 5 and 6 in the assembled state, a stepped portion H1a with which the receiving portion H5a at the upper end of the folding hinge H5 engages can be provided on the top plate hinge H1 instead of the protruding piece F.

[0054] When assembling the table D, when the first top plate 1 and the second top plate 2 are opened, the first leg portion 3 and the second leg portion 4 are separated, and the folding leg portions 5 and 6 are deployed so as to form one surface. As shown in FIG. 6(b), at the end of this deployment, the upper edges of the folding leg portions 5 and 6 approach the first top plate 1 and the second top plate 2 that have descended. In this configuration, at this time, a stepped portion H1a formed so that the receiving portion H5a at the end of the folding hinge H5 engages is formed at the end of the top plate hinge H1.

[0055] As shown in FIG. 6(a), by inclining the side surface of the stepped portion H1a, even when the folding leg portions 5 and 6 are not fully deployed in a planar shape, the receiving portion H5a of the folding hinge H5 is guided to the stepped portion H1a by the inclined portion, whereby the first top plate 1 and the second top plate 2 are fully deployed in a planar shape, and while the pair of folding leg portions 5 and 6 are also being deployed in a planar shape, the receiving portion H5a of the folding hinge H5 and the stepped portion H1a of the top plate hinge H1 engage. As a result, it is possible to avoid a situation where the protruding piece F sometimes bends and deforms without engaging with the predetermined recess G when using the protruding piece F, and it is necessary to manually guide the protruding piece F to the position of the correct recess G every time it is deployed.

[0056] 〔Third Embodiment〕 As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, as the first handle T, for example, a U-shaped handle TC can be formed to protrude from the edge of the first top plate 1, and a recess TD into which the handle TC fits can be formed in one of the second top plates 2. Even in this case, the member strength particularly decreases in the vicinity of the recess TD of the second top plate 2. In addition, since the top plate hinge H1 is interrupted on both the first top plate 1 and the second top plate 2 at the portion where the handle TC is formed, the strength of the portion decreases.

[0057] Therefore, it is preferable to form a second reinforcing rib R2 on the back surfaces of the first top plate 1 and the second top plate 2, particularly in the vicinity of the recess in the second top plate 2, and to form a first reinforcing rib R1 on the first top plate 1 at a position offset from the second reinforcing rib R2 in the folded state.
