[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2020-146426 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 7-303530 [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0005] However, the conventional assembly-type tables described in Patent Document 1 and other documents mentioned above had the following problems.

[0006] Firstly, in the case of modular tables, an assembly process is required to join (connect) and fix the components together. In particular, in the case of frame-type tables that combine multiple tabletop members, the number of parts increases, which cannot be ignored as it increases the overall cost. Furthermore, since the assembly process requires tools such as screwdrivers, it has the drawback of being time-consuming to assemble when used outdoors, such as for camping.

[0007] Secondly, because the components used tend to include many small metal parts such as bolts, hinges, and screws, when used outdoors, it lacks a natural feel and parts are easily lost. Moreover, a simple configuration limits it to just one function as a table, making it difficult to add multi-functionality and resulting in a lack of versatility and convenience.

[0008] The present invention aims to provide an assembly-type table that solves the problems present in the background technology described above. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] To solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides an assembly-type table 1 comprising a table top section 2 formed by sequentially connecting and combining a plurality of table top members 2m..., and a plurality of leg sections 3... that support the lower surface of the table top section 2, characterized in that the table top members 2m... have upper plate sections 2mu... and lower plate sections 2md... of the same length, and the upper plate sections 2mu... and lower plate sections 2md... are overlapped with a predetermined length Lo offset in the longitudinal direction Fe, and the same number of leg sections 3... are provided as well as offset surfaces 2os, 2os... protruding from both sides of the table top member 2m, leg mounting holes 2xu, 2xd that penetrate the upper and lower surfaces, and a table top fixing part 4 that is inserted into the leg mounting holes 2xu, 2xd formed by overlapping the offset surfaces 2os, 2os of adjacent table top members 2m, 2m to fix the upper end 3u of the leg section 3 to the table top member 2m.

[0010] In this case, according to a preferred embodiment of the invention, a stepped locking portion 2ub, which widens at the top, can be formed on the inner wall surface 2uw of the leg mounting hole 2xu. The leg portion 3 can be constructed by stacking a pair of leg halves 3p and 3q, and a wide locking portion 16 can be provided at the upper end to lock into the stepped locking portion 2ub in the leg mounting hole 2xu. Furthermore, the tabletop fixing portion 4 can be constructed by first holes 31p and 31q formed through the leg portion 3, and a first wedge member 11 that is inserted into these first holes 31p and 31q and presses against the lower surface of the tabletop member 2m. On the other hand, below the tabletop member 2m, a table shelf portion 12 can be provided, which is a combination of the leg portions 3 and shelf members 12m... arranged between them, and a shelf fixing portion 13 can be provided to fix the shelf members 12m... to the leg portions 3.... In this case, the leg portion 3 can be provided with support slits 33p, 33q to support the short side portion 12ms of the shelf member 12m. The shelf fixing portion 13 can be configured with a connecting member 14 that is inserted into second holes 32p, 32q formed through the leg portion 3 and engages with adjacent shelf members 12m to connect them. Furthermore, the table top portion 2 and / or the table shelf portion 12 can be provided with wide locking portions 2e and / or 12e that protrude inward, and can be configured to support one or more auxiliary plates 17c… that close the inner openings 2o and / or 12o of the table top portion 2 and / or the table shelf portion 12. [Effects of the Invention]

[0011] The assembly-type table 1 according to the present invention, having such a configuration, provides the following remarkable effects.

[0012] (1) Even though it is a frame-type table made by combining multiple tabletop members 2m..., it can be constructed with relatively simple component shapes and a minimum number of parts, thus reducing overall costs. Moreover, since no tools such as screwdrivers are required for assembly, it can be assembled easily and quickly, even when used outdoors such as camping. Furthermore, because the tabletop section 2 is made by connecting offset surfaces 2os, 2os..., the flatness and rigidity (strength) of the entire tabletop can be dramatically increased.

[0013] (2) Since all components can be made from wooden parts, the natural feel when used outdoors can be enhanced, and in particular, small metal parts such as screws are not required, thus eliminating the problem of parts being easily lost.

[0014] (3) In a preferred embodiment, if a stepped locking portion 2ub that widens at the top is formed on the inner wall surface 2uw of the leg mounting hole 2xu, then when fixing the leg portion 3 to the top plate member 2m, the top plate member 2m and the leg portion 3 can be easily fixed by simply providing a top plate fixing portion 4 using simple restricting means such as a wedge.

[0015] (4) In a preferred embodiment, the leg portion 3 is constructed by stacking a pair of leg halves 3p and 3q, and a wide locking portion 16 is provided at the upper end to lock into the stepped locking portion 2ub in the leg mounting hole 2xu. This not only increases the strength of the leg portion 3 by stacking two pieces, but also makes it easy and reliable to fix and position the locking portion 16.

[0016] (5) In a preferred embodiment, when constructing the top plate fixing part 4, if first holes 31p, 31q formed through the leg part 3 and first wedge members 11 that are inserted into these first holes 31p, 31q and press against the lower surface of the top plate member 2m are provided, then the first wedge members 11 can be fixed simply by inserting (driving in) the first holes 31p, 31q, and can be easily assembled even without tools.

[0017] (6) In a preferred embodiment, if a table shelf section 12 is provided below the tabletop member 2m, consisting of shelf members 12m... positioned between the legs 3, and shelf fixing sections 13... are provided to fix the shelf members 12m... to the legs 3, then in addition to the tabletop section 2, a shelf function section (table shelf section 12) on which dishes, food, etc. can be placed can be provided below it, thereby increasing multifunctionality (versatility) and convenience even in a simple configuration, and the rigidity and strength of the entire assembly table 1 can be dramatically increased in combination with the tabletop section 2.

[0018] (7) In a preferred embodiment, if support slits 33p, 33q are provided in the leg portion 3 to support the short side portions 12ms, etc. of the shelf members 12m, the vertical (up and down) support strength for the shelf members 12m can be further increased.

[0019] (8) In a preferred embodiment, when configuring the shelf fixing portion 13, if second holes 32p, 32q are formed through the leg portion 3, and connecting members 14 are inserted into these second holes 32p, 32q to lock adjacent shelf members 12m together and connect them, then adjacent shelf members 12m together can be connected by the connecting members 14, thereby increasing the rigidity and strength in the horizontal direction (left-right direction).

[0020] (9) In a preferred embodiment, a wide locking portion 2e and / or 12e protruding inward is provided on the table top plate portion 2 and / or the table shelf plate portion 12, and one or a plurality of auxiliary plates 17c... for closing the inner openings 2o and / or 12o of the table top plate portion 2 and / or the table shelf plate portion 12 are configured to be supported. In this way, it is possible to easily switch between the first use mode without using the auxiliary plates 17c..., that is, the first use mode in which a space for a campfire is provided inside the table top plate portion 2, and the second use mode using the auxiliary plates 17c..., that is, the second use mode in which a flat table without an opening or a wider storage space is obtained, thereby further enhancing the functionality (diversity) and convenience.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0022] Next, preferred embodiments according to the present invention will be given and described in detail based on the drawings.

[0023] First, the components used in the assembly-type table 1 according to this embodiment will be described based on Figure 2, with reference to each figure.

[0024] Figure 2 shows the smallest unit components used in the assembly table 1. In the assembly table 1 according to this embodiment, metal parts such as screws, washers, bolts and nuts are not used, and it can be formed from a wood board material having a predetermined thickness, specifically about 10-20 mm.

[0025] As shown in Figure 2, the components consist of upper plate sections 2mu (6 pieces), lower plate sections 2md (6 pieces), shelf members 12m (6 pieces), leg halves 3p and 3q (6 pieces each), auxiliary plate 17c (1 piece), auxiliary plate 17s (2 pieces), first wedge members 11 (6 pieces), connecting members 14 (6 pieces), second wedge members 15 (6 pieces), locking parts 16 (6 pieces), and connecting pins 21 (12 pieces). The numbers in parentheses for each component indicate the number of pieces or units to be prepared per assembly table 1.

[0026] In Figure 2, 2mu represents the upper plate portion and 2md represents the lower plate portion. The top plate member 2m can be formed by the upper plate portion 2mu and the lower plate portion 2md.

[0027] The upper plate portion 2mu is cut from the center outwards on both sides of one of its rectangular short sides to form a triangular V-shaped portion 2up, and cut from the center outwards on both sides of the other short side to form a triangular Valley-shaped portion 2uq. In this case, the angle at the center of the triangular V-shaped portion 2up and the angle at the center of the triangular Valley-shaped portion 2uq are both 120°. In addition, a rectangular elongated hole for attaching legs 2xu is formed near the triangular V-shaped portion 2up on the upper plate portion 2mu, and as shown in Figure 8, a stepped locking portion 2ub that widens at the top is formed on the inner wall surface 2uw of this leg attachment hole 2xu. As a result, when fixing the legs 3, which will be described later, to the top plate member 2m, the top plate member 2m and the legs 3 can be easily fixed by simply preparing a top plate fixing portion 4 using simple restricting means such as wedges. Furthermore, pin attachment holes 22u and 23u are formed at two predetermined spaced locations on the upper plate portion 2mu.

[0028] As shown in Figure 2, the lower plate portion 2md is provided with a wide locking portion 2e that protrudes inward on a part of the inner long side in the longitudinal direction Fe. Therefore, the outer shape of the lower plate portion 2md when this wide locking portion 2e is not provided is the same as that of the upper plate portion 2mu. This wide locking portion 2e allows the three auxiliary plates 17c, 17s, and 17s, which will be described later, to be arranged and supported, namely, one auxiliary plate 17c placed in the center and two auxiliary plates 17s, 17s placed on both sides of this auxiliary plate 17c. Furthermore, as will be described later, when the upper plate portion 2md is stacked offset from other upper plate portions 2mu, a leg mounting hole 2xd is formed that coincides with the leg mounting hole 2xu of the upper plate portion 2mu. Note that the stepped locking portion 2ub described above is not formed in this leg mounting hole 2xd. Furthermore, when the upper plate portion 2mu and the lower plate portion 2md are stacked, pin mounting holes 22d and 23d are formed in the overlapping portion of the lower plate portion 2md, which are positioned to coincide with the pin mounting holes 22u and 23u of the upper plate portion 2mu.

[0029] On the other hand, 12m represents a shelf member. The shelf member 12m is formed in a trapezoidal shape overall and is made to a length that can be spanned between adjacent legs 3, which will be described later. In this case, a notch 12mp with a width Lw equivalent to half the thickness of the leg 3 is formed on one short side 12ms of the shelf member 12m, and a notch 12mq with a similar width Lw is formed on the other short side 12ms.

[0030] Furthermore, a mounting groove 24p for the fixing part is formed on the lower surface of the shelf member 12m, perpendicular to the center of one notch 12mp, and a mounting groove 24q for the fixing part is formed perpendicular to the center of the other notch 12mq. In this case, the length of the mounting groove 24p for the fixing part is approximately twice the length of the mounting groove 24q for the fixing part, as it serves as an insertion groove for the U-shaped connecting member 14. Locking recesses 25p and 25q for accommodating both ends of the connecting member 14 are formed inside each wedge mounting portion 24p and 24q (see Figure 7).

[0031] On the other hand, 3p and 3q represent leg halves. These leg halves 3p and 3q are superimposed and a locking portion 16 is attached to their upper ends to form the leg 3. In Figure 2, one leg half 3p shows the outer surface when forming the leg 3, and the other leg half 3q shows the inner surface when superimposed. Therefore, the leg halves 3p and 3q have the same shape except that they are symmetrical. As shown in Figure 8, the leg halves 3p and 3q have a stepped convex end portion 34p and 34q on the inner surface of their upper ends, and as shown in Figure 2, vertically elongated first holes 31p and 31q are formed near the upper ends, and vertically elongated second holes 32p and 32q are formed below these first holes 31p and 31q. Furthermore, horizontal support slits 33p and 33q are formed at intermediate vertical positions on the outer surface of each leg half 3p and 3q (upper ends of the second holes 32p and 32q), which are capable of accommodating the short side portion 12ms (notches 12mp and 12mq) of the shelf member 12m.

[0032] Thus, by providing support slits 33p and 33q in the leg portion 3 (leg portion halves 3p and 3q) to support the short side portions 12ms of the shelf board members 12m, the vertical (up and down) support strength for the shelf board members 12m can be further increased.

[0033] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 8, the locking portion 16 comprises a locking body portion 41 formed in a wide manner on both the left and right sides, and a pair of gripping portions 42p and 42q provided on the lower surface of the locking body portion 41. These gripping portions 42p and 42q can grip the convex ends 34p and 34q formed by overlapping the leg halves 3p and 3q, and both sides of the locking body portion 41 can be locked into the stepped locking portions 2ub provided in the leg mounting holes 2xu.

[0034] In this way, when constructing the leg portion 3, by stacking a pair of leg halves 3p and 3q and providing a wide locking portion 16 at the upper end that engages with the stepped locking portion 2ub in the leg mounting hole 2xu, the strength of the leg portion 3 can be increased by stacking two portions, and the locking portion 16 can be fixed and positioned easily and reliably.

[0035] Label 11 indicates a first wedge member that is inserted into the first holes 31p and 31q and presses against the lower surface of the top plate member 2m. This first wedge member 11 and the first holes 31p and 31q constitute a top plate fixing part 4 that fixes the upper end portion 3u of the leg portion 3, which is inserted into the aforementioned leg mounting holes 2xu and 2xd, to the top plate member 2m. By providing such a top plate fixing part 4, the top plate can be easily assembled even without tools, for example, by simply inserting (driving in) the first wedge member 11 into the first holes 31p and 31q.

[0036] 14 indicates a connecting member that is inserted into the second holes 32p and 32q and locks adjacent shelf members 12m together to connect them, while 15 indicates a second wedge member that is inserted into the second holes 32p and 32q and presses the connecting member 14 in the direction of locking it to the shelf members 12m.... These second holes 32p and 32q, the connecting member 14 (and the second wedge member 15) constitute a shelf fixing part 13 that fixes the shelf member 12 to the leg part 3. By providing such a shelf fixing part 13, adjacent shelf members 12m can be connected to each other by the connecting member 14, thereby increasing the rigidity and strength in the horizontal direction (left-right direction).

[0037] Next, the assembly method and usage method of the modular table 1 according to this embodiment will be explained in accordance with the assembly process diagram shown in Figure 3, with reference to each figure.

[0038] The example assembly table 1 assumes that the components shown in Figure 2 are sold as a set product. Therefore, users can purchase the set product of components and assemble it themselves.

[0039] In this case, the assembly of the modular table 1 can be carried out through a preparation step A1 in which some components are manufactured in advance, and an assembly step A2 in which the modular table 1 is assembled, as shown in Figure 3.

[0040] First, let's explain preparation step A1. Preparation step A1 involves manufacturing the top plate member 2m... and the leg parts 3.... First, the user prepares the components (step S1). Then, as shown in Figure 4(a), the top plate member 2m is manufactured by bonding the lower surface of the upper plate part 2mu and the upper surface of the lower plate part 2md with adhesive (step S2).

[0041] In this process, the upper plate portion 2mu and the lower plate portion 2md are bonded together facing opposite directions, so that they are in the same positional relationship as shown in Figure 2. Furthermore, a connecting pin 21 is inserted between one pin mounting hole 22u of the upper plate portion 2mu and one pin mounting hole 22d of the lower plate portion 2md to position them, and another connecting pin 21 is inserted between the other pin mounting hole 23u of the upper plate portion 2mu and the other pin mounting hole 23d of the lower plate portion 2md to position them. The grid-like hatched area Za drawn on the upper surface of the lower plate portion 2md in Figure 4(a) indicates the adhesive bonding surface.

[0042] This yields the top plate member 2m shown in Figure 4(b). The fabricated top plate member 2m is constructed with the upper plate portion 2mu and the lower plate portion 2md overlapping with a predetermined length Lo offset in the longitudinal direction Fe, and the offset surfaces 2os of the upper plate portion 2mu and the lower plate portion 2md that protrude on both sides form a regular hexagon. The pin mounting holes 22u, 22d... and the connecting pins 21... may be fixed by press-fitting or by adhesive.

[0043] Then, the remaining upper plate sections 2mu... and lower plate sections 2md... are manufactured as top plate members 2m... using the same procedure. Once a total of six sets of top plate members 2m... have been manufactured, the production of top plate members 2m... is complete (steps S3, S2...).

[0044] Next, the leg portion 3 is manufactured. In this case, as shown in Figure 5(c), a pair of leg halves 3p and 3q and one locking portion 16 are prepared. First, the leg halves 3p and 3q are bonded together with adhesive (step S4). In Figure 5(c), the grid-like hatched area Zb drawn on the back surface of one of the leg halves 3q indicates the adhesive bonding surface. Next, the pair of gripping portions 42p and 42q of the locking portion 16 are attached to the convex ends 34p and 34q at the upper ends of the bonded leg halves 3p and 3q (step S5). In this case, the positional relationship between the convex ends 34p and 34q of the leg halves 3p and 3q and the gripping portions 42p and 42q of the locking portion 16 is as shown in the enlarged cross-sectional view of line XX in Figure 8. The convex ends 34p and 34q and the gripping portions 42p and 42q are bonded and fixed together with adhesive. This results in the leg portion 3 shown in Figure 5(d).

[0045] The remaining leg halves 3p, 3q, etc., and the locking parts 16, etc., are manufactured using the same procedure to produce the leg parts 3, etc. Once a total of six sets of leg parts 3, etc. have been manufactured, the production of the leg parts 3, etc. is complete (steps S6, S4, S5, etc.). This completes the preparation process A1.

[0046] Next, we will explain assembly process A2. Each component, including the components obtained in preparation process A1, can be taken to the location where the assembly table 1 will be used, such as a campsite, and assembled on-site.

[0047] First, two tabletop members 2m, 2m, one leg 3, and one first wedge member 11 are prepared. Then, as shown in Figure 6, with the lower end of the leg 3 facing upward, the leg mounting hole 2xu of the offset surface 2os on the upper plate portion 2mu of one tabletop member 2m is attached to the leg 3 from the lower end side (from above in Figure 6), and then the leg mounting hole 2xd of the offset surface 2os on the lower plate portion 2md of the other tabletop member 2m is attached to the leg 3 from the lower end side (step S7).

[0048] Next, the first wedge member 11 is inserted into the first holes 31p and 31q of the leg portion 3 in this state from the direction of arrow F1 and attached (step S8). In this case, it is desirable to leave it in a state of temporary fixation so that it does not fully insert but has some movement. Furthermore, one top plate member 2m, one leg portion 3 and one first wedge member 11 are prepared, and the next prepared leg portion 3 is inserted from the top side (bottom in Figure 6) into the leg mounting hole 2xu of the offset surface 2os of the upper plate portion 2mu of the other top plate member 2m of the intermediate assembly obtained in step S7, from the bottom end side, and the leg mounting hole 2xd of the offset surface 2os of the lower plate portion 2md of the next prepared top plate member 2m is attached from the bottom end side of the leg portion 3.

[0049] Then, the first wedge members 11 are attached to the first holes 31p and 31q in the leg portion 3 in this state. The assembly procedure described above is performed similarly for the remaining top plate members 2m... and the leg portions 3 (steps S9, S7, S8...). Once all the top plate members 2m... have been assembled, the first wedge members 11... that were temporarily fixed in six places are fully inserted and permanently fixed (step S10).

[0050] Next, as shown in Figure 7(e), the first shelf member 12m is attached between a support slit 33p formed on one outer surface of any leg 3 and a support slit 33q formed on the other surface of the other leg 3 facing the outer surface of this leg 3. Then, the second shelf member 12m is attached between the support slit 33q formed on the other outer surface of the aforementioned leg 3 and a support slit 33p formed on one surface of the other leg 3 facing the other outer surface of this leg 3 (step S11). The positional relationship between the shelf members 12m... and the leg 3 in this state is shown in the enlarged YY cross-sectional view of Figure 8.

[0051] Furthermore, in this state, as shown in Figure 7(f), the connecting member 14 is fitted into the wedge mounting portion 24p provided on one shelf member 12m and moved by arrow F2 to insert it into the second holes 32p and 32q, and both ends of the connecting member 14 are fitted into the locking recess 25p of one shelf member 12m and the locking recess 25q of the other shelf member 12m (step S12). Next, as shown in Figure 7(g), the second wedge member 15 is inserted into the second holes 32p and 32q from the direction of arrow F3 and fitted (step S13). In this case, it is desirable to leave it in a state of temporary fixation where it does not fully insert but has some movement.

[0052] The same procedure described above is followed for the remaining shelf members 12m, connecting members 14..., and second wedge members 15... (steps S14, S11, S12, S13...). Once all shelf members 12m... have been assembled, the second wedge members 15... that were temporarily fixed in six places are fully inserted and permanently fixed (step S15). This completes the assembly table 1 shown in Figure 1.

[0053] Thus, in this embodiment, the assembly table 1 can be provided with a table shelf section 12, which consists of shelf members 12m... positioned between the legs 3, below the tabletop member 2m, and shelf fixing parts 13... that fix the shelf members 12m... to the legs 3. In addition to the tabletop section 2, a shelf function section (table shelf section 12) can be provided below it, where dishes, food, etc. can be placed. Therefore, even with a simple configuration, multifunctionality (versatility) and convenience can be enhanced, and the rigidity and strength of the entire assembly table 1 can be dramatically increased by combining it with the tabletop section 2.

[0054] Incidentally, the assembly table 1 according to this embodiment, as shown in Figure 9, can be used in two selectable modes, and is equipped with optional auxiliary plates 17c, 17s, and 17s. That is, when the auxiliary plates 17c, 17s, and 17s are not used, it can be used in the first usage mode, as shown in Figure 1, with the inner opening 2o of the table top 2 open. This allows firewood or the like to be placed inside the table top 2 for making a bonfire or the like.

[0055] In contrast, as shown in Figure 9, by using auxiliary plates 17c, 17s, and 17s, it can be used in a second mode of use, which is a general table, i.e., a single flat table without openings. In this case, as shown in the enlarged cross-sectional view along the ZZ line in Figure 9, the edges of the auxiliary plates 17s... are placed on the wide locking portions 2e provided on the lower plate portions 2md... of each top plate member 2m..., and the inner openings 2o of the table top portion 2 are closed in the order of auxiliary plates 17s, 17c, and 17s.

[0056] As described above, the assembly table 1 according to this embodiment is provided with a wide locking portion 2e that protrudes inward on the lower plate portion 2md, and is configured to support one or more auxiliary plates 17c... that close the inner opening 2o of the table top portion 2. Therefore, it can be easily switched between a first usage mode without using the auxiliary plates 17c..., i.e., a first usage mode in which a space for a bonfire is provided inside the table top portion 2, and a second usage mode in which the auxiliary plates 17c... are used, i.e., a second usage mode in which a single flat table without an opening or a second usage mode that provides a larger storage space. Thus, its multi-functionality (versatility) and convenience can be further enhanced.

[0057] Therefore, according to the assembly table 1 of this embodiment, the basic configuration includes a top plate member 2m... having upper plate sections 2mu... and lower plate sections 2md... of the same length, with the upper plate sections 2mu... and lower plate sections 2md... overlapping with a predetermined length Lo offset in the longitudinal direction Fe, and the same number of legs 3... as the top plate members 2m..., as well as leg mounting holes 2xu, 2xd that penetrate the upper and lower surfaces on offset surfaces 2os, 2os... protruding from both sides of the top plate member 2m, and top plate fixing parts 4 that are inserted into the leg mounting holes 2xu, 2xd formed by overlapping the offset surfaces 2os, 2os of adjacent top plate members 2m, 2m to fix the upper end 3u of the legs 3 to the top plate member 2m. As a result, even a frame-type table made by combining multiple top plate members 2m... can be constructed with relatively simple part shapes and a minimum number of parts, thus achieving overall cost reduction. Moreover, since no operating tools such as screwdrivers are required for assembly, it can be assembled easily and quickly even when used outdoors such as camping. Furthermore, because the tabletop section 2 is constructed by connecting offset surfaces 2os, 2os…, the overall flatness and rigidity (strength) of the tabletop can be dramatically improved. In addition, since all components can be made from woodworking parts, the natural feel when used outdoors can be enhanced, and in particular, the problem of easily losing small metal parts such as screws can be eliminated.

[0058] Although preferred embodiments have been described in detail above, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and the details of the configuration, shape, materials, quantity, numerical values, etc. can be arbitrarily changed, added, or deleted without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0059] For example, although the connecting member 14 and the second wedge member 15 are shown as being provided on the lower side of the shelf member 12m..., they may also be provided on the upper side. If they are provided on the upper side, it is less aesthetically pleasing, but it prevents the connecting member 14 and / or the second wedge member 15 from falling due to vibration, and the locking is maintained by the weight or insertion of the connecting member 14, so the second wedge member 15 can be made unnecessary. In the embodiment, an example was given in which a hexagon-type table was constructed by sequentially connecting six sets of tabletop members 2m..., but it is also possible to construct circular or elliptical shapes by using various polygons such as triangles and squares, as well as curved tabletop members 2m.... Furthermore, when constructing the leg portion 3, an example was shown in which a pair of leg halves 3p and 3q are stacked and a wide locking portion 16 is provided at the upper end to lock into the stepped locking portion 2ub in the leg mounting hole 2xu, but this does not preclude the case where these are formed as a single unit. On the other hand, although a table shelf section 12 is shown, it is not an essential component. Similarly, although a configuration with multiple auxiliary plates 17c... is shown, it is not an essential component. [Industrial applicability]
