Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a foldable paper table, and more specifically, to an improved foldable paper table that is easy to carry due to its small volume, making it convenient to use, especially during outdoor leisure activities, and can be used in an eco-friendly manner without causing environmental pollution because it is made of paper, even when discarded after use. Background Technology

[0002] With the recent increase in socio-cultural trends seeking to enjoy cultural life alongside economic growth, leisure culture, particularly activities such as recreation, entertainment, camping, and picnics, is rapidly spreading.

[0003] Among these, leisure activities that are planned and carried out, such as camping, do not pose a significant problem because equipment is packed in advance; however, when engaging in leisure activities such as going on a spontaneous outing to a nearby place for a change of pace without a plan (also known as a picnic), most people end up traveling with only a mat because they do not have suitable equipment.

[0004] Given the situation, there is considerable inconvenience when spreading out a mat and eating on it.

[0005] However, purchasing and preparing an expensive table for simple outings that will only happen a few times is also a waste.

[0006] In addition, even if you purchase and set up a table, there is no suitable place to store it, and it has the disadvantage of only taking up space. Prior art literature

[0017] In addition, since embodiments according to the concept of the present invention may be subject to various modifications and may take various forms, specific embodiments are illustrated in the drawings and described in detail in this specification. However, this is not intended to limit the embodiments according to the concept of the present invention to specific disclosed forms, and it should be understood that they include all modifications, equivalents, and substitutions that fall within the spirit and scope of the present invention.

[0018] The foldable paper table according to the present invention is in the form of a cardboard, so it is easy to carry and store, and can be assembled and used quickly on-site. Moreover, because it is sturdy, it has the advantage of being durable even when used once, and of course, reusable, thus having excellent convenience of use.

[0019] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 11, the foldable paper table according to the present invention can be folded in half from an unfolded state, then a fixing piece (10) is inserted into a fixing slit (20), and then the fixing piece (10) that has passed through the fixing slit (20) is bent so that the folded state is maintained.

[0020] This allows the volume of the paper table to be significantly reduced, offering the advantages of being easy to store, taking up little space, and being convenient to carry.

[0021] That is, the present invention provides a foldable paper table comprising: first and second rectangular main bodies (100, 200) having the same size and connected to each other to form a table top; and first and second leg plates (110, 210) extending from each perimeter of the first and second main bodies (100, 200) and folded to form table legs.

[0022] More specifically, referring to FIG. 1 which shows the unfolded state of a foldable paper table, the present invention includes a first main body (100) and a second main body (200) having the same rectangular size.

[0023] And, a body folding line (L) is formed at the boundary between the first body (100) and the second body (200).

[0024] Therefore, they can be folded together along this main body folding line (L), allowing the volume to be reduced by half compared to the original size.

[0025] Additionally, a first leg folding line (102) is formed on the opposite side of the main body folding line (L) of the first main body (100), and a first leg plate (110) in the shape of a '∪' is extended from the first leg folding line (102).

[0026] At this time, the concave first groove (112) of the first leg plate (110) is made to communicate with the space under the table so that users can comfortably extend their legs.

[0027] In addition, the previously described fixing piece (10) is formed in the center of the width of the first leg plate (110) adjacent to the first groove (112).

[0028] In this case, the above-mentioned fixing piece (10) is configured such that the rest, excluding one side, is cut so that it can be folded based on the side that is not cut.

[0029] And, a second leg folding line (202) is formed on the opposite side of the main body folding line (L) of the second main body (200), and a second leg plate (210) in the shape of '∩' is extended from the second leg folding line (202).

[0030] At this time, the concave second groove (212) of the second leg plate (210) is made to communicate with the space under the table so that users can comfortably extend their legs.

[0031] In addition, the previously described fixed slit (20) is formed in the center of the width of the second leg plate (210) adjacent to the second groove (212).

[0032] Meanwhile, on one side of the first main body (100), a first-1 reinforcing folding line (104) is formed that vertically connects the main body folding line (L) and the first leg folding line (102), and a first-1 reinforcing plate (120) is formed by extending a certain width outward from the first-1 reinforcing folding line (104).

[0033] And, at the center of the plate surface of the first-1 reinforcing plate (120), a first-1 binding piece (122) is formed, which can be folded based on the uncut side, with the remaining sides excluding one side being cut.

[0034] In particular, the first-1 binding piece (122) is formed in a roughly 'A' shape so that the binding member (300) can be inserted laterally to bind it.

[0035] To this end, the above-mentioned binding member (300) is configured to be folded and used as shown in FIG. 10, with fitting grooves (310) formed at both ends.

[0036] In this case, the reason for folding it is to reinforce its strength.

[0037] Additionally, on the other side of the first main body (100), a first-2 reinforcing folding line (106) is formed that vertically connects the main body folding line (L) and the first leg folding line (102), and a first-2 reinforcing plate (130) is formed by extending a certain width outward from the first-2 reinforcing folding line (106).

[0038] And, at the center of the plate surface of the first-second reinforcing plate (130), the remaining sides excluding one side are cut, and a first-second binding piece (132) is formed that can be folded based on the uncut side.

[0039] In particular, the first and second binding pieces (132) are formed in a shape of approximately 'T' so that the binding member (300) can be inserted laterally to bind them.

[0040] Additionally, a second-1 reinforcing folding line (204) is formed on one side of the second main body (200) to vertically connect the main body folding line (L) and the second leg folding line (202), and a second-1 reinforcing plate (220) is formed by extending a certain width outward from the second-1 reinforcing folding line (204).

[0041] And, at the center of the plate surface of the above-mentioned second-1 reinforcing plate (220), a second-1 binding piece (222) is formed, in which the remaining sides excluding one side are cut and can be folded based on the uncut side.

[0042] In particular, the second-1 binding piece (222) is formed in a roughly 'a' shape so that the binding member (300) can be inserted laterally to bind it.

[0043] Additionally, on the other side of the second main body (200), a second-2 reinforcing folding line (206) is formed that vertically connects the main body folding line (L) and the second leg folding line (202), and a second-2 reinforcing plate (230) is formed by extending a certain width outward from the second-2 reinforcing folding line (206).

[0044] And, at the center of the plate surface of the above-mentioned second-2 reinforcing plate (230), a second-2 binding piece (232) is formed, in which the remaining sides excluding one side are cut and the uncut side is folded.

[0045] In particular, the second-2 binding piece (232) is formed in a shape of approximately 'ㅓ' so that the binding member (300) can be inserted laterally to bind it.

[0046] In addition, a first half-fold line (L1) is formed at the boundary between the first-1 reinforcing plate (120) and the second-1 reinforcing plate (220), and a second half-fold line (L2) is formed at the boundary between the first-2 reinforcing plate (130) and the second-2 reinforcing plate (230), so that they can also be folded together.

[0047] On the other hand, the first leg plate (110) is provided with a first-1 leg outer folding line (R11) that forms one side of the first leg plate (110) and extends from the first-1 reinforcing folding line (104), and a first-1 leg outer plate (114) that protrudes outward from the first-1 leg outer folding line (R11) and protrudes in a '┘' shape.

[0048] And, on the plate surface of the first-1 outer leg plate (114), a first-1 binding slit (S11) is further formed to which the first-1 binding piece (122) is fitted and fixed.

[0049] Additionally, the first leg plate (110) is provided with a first-2 leg outer folding line (R12) that forms the other side of the first leg plate (110) and extends from the first-2 reinforcing folding line (106), and a first-2 leg outer plate (116) that protrudes outward from the first-2 leg outer folding line (R12) and protrudes in a '└' shape.

[0050] Additionally, a first-second binding slit (S12) is further formed on the plate surface of the first-second leg outer plate (116) to which the first-second binding piece (132) is fitted and fixed.

[0051] In addition, the boundary where the first-1 leg outer plate (114) and the first-1 reinforcing plate (120) and the first-2 leg outer plate (116) and the first-2 reinforcing plate (130) meet is configured to be completely separated from each other by an incision line rather than a fold line.

[0052] In particular, the above-mentioned cut line must have a space spaced apart by at least the thickness of the first and second bodies (100, 200).

[0053] This is to ensure that the folds can be made smoothly vertically without interfering with each other.

[0054] Additionally, the second leg plate (210) is provided with a second-1 leg outer folding line (R21) that forms one side of the second leg plate (210) and extends from the second-1 reinforcing folding line (204), and a second-1 leg outer plate (214) that protrudes outward from the second-1 leg outer folding line (R21) and protrudes in a '┘' shape.

[0055] And, on the plate surface of the above-mentioned second-1 leg outer plate (214), a second-1 binding slit (S21) is further formed to which the second-1 binding piece (222) is fitted and fixed.

[0056] Additionally, the second leg plate (210) is provided with a second-2 leg outer folding line (R22) that forms the other side of the second leg plate (210) and extends from the second-2 reinforcing folding line (206), and a second-2 leg outer plate (216) that protrudes outward from the second-2 leg outer folding line (R22) and protrudes in a '└' shape.

[0057] Additionally, a second-2 binding slit (S22) is further formed on the plate surface of the second-2 outer leg plate (216) to which the second-2 binding piece (232) is fitted and fixed.

[0058] In addition, the boundary where the 2-1 outer leg plate (214) and the 2-1 reinforcing plate (220) and the 2-2 outer leg plate (216) and the 2-2 reinforcing plate (230) meet is configured to be completely separated from each other by an incision line rather than a fold line.

[0059] In particular, the above-mentioned cut line must have a space spaced apart by at least the thickness of the first and second bodies (100, 200).

[0060] This is to ensure that the folds can be made smoothly vertically without interfering with each other.

[0061] In addition, in the present invention, a protective coating layer coated with a protective coating liquid is formed on the surface of the first and second main bodies (100, 200), the first and second leg plates (110, 210), the first-1, first-2, second-1, second-2 leg outer plates (114, 116, 214, 216), and the first-1, first-2, second-1, second-2 reinforcing plates (120, 130, 220, 230).

[0062] The above protective coating layer is intended to provide water resistance, moisture resistance, water pressure resistance, discoloration resistance, antibacterial properties, and stain resistance, thereby preventing a decrease in durability and ensuring robust use.

[0063] At this time, the protective coating liquid forming the protective coating layer may be used by further adding and mixing 10 parts by weight of sodium methylsulfinylmethylide, 10 parts by weight of sodium erythorbate, 8.5 parts by weight of sebace acid, 10 parts by weight of DBNPA (2,2-Dibromo-3-nitrilopropionamide), and 5 parts by weight of alkyleneamide to 100 parts by weight of polypropylene resin.

[0064] In this case, sodium methylsulfinylmethylide is a substance corresponding to CAS No. 15590-23-5, and contributes to increasing the water pressure resistance, water resistance, moisture resistance, and antifouling properties of the coating layer.

[0065] In addition, sodium erythorbate increases antioxidant and photothermal resistance and increases resistance to discoloration against ultraviolet rays.

[0066] In addition, sebace acid contributes to strengthening adhesion through interface modification of the coating layer.

[0067] In addition, DBNPA (2,2-Dibromo-3-nitrilopropionamide) is a liquid antimicrobial agent with excellent antimicrobial properties even in alkaline environments, and is known to have particularly excellent antimicrobial properties against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Streptococcus pneumoniae, mites, and mold.

[0068] In addition, alkyleneamide contributes to enhancing the internal wall color resistance, anti-fouling properties, and water resistance of the coating layer.

[0069] The present invention, constructed in this manner, can be folded and used in the form shown in FIGS. 2 to 11.

[0070] For example, it is normally stored in the form shown in Fig. 2, and when it is to be used outdoors or at a place of use, it is unfolded and unfolded as shown in Fig. 3.

[0071] Next, as shown in Fig. 4, the 1-1, 1-2, 2-1, and 2-2 binding pieces (122, 132, 222, 232) are each folded up and set up vertically.

[0072] In that state, as shown in FIG. 5, the first and second leg plates (110, 210) are each folded up and set up vertically. Then, the first-1, 1-2, 2-1, and 2-2 outer leg plates (114, 116, 214, 216) are also folded and set up together.

[0073] Afterwards, as shown in FIG. 6, the first, first, second, second, and second leg outer plates (114, 116, 214, 216) are each bent vertically with respect to the first and second leg plates (110, 210).

[0074] Then, as shown in Fig. 7, the 1-1, 1-2, 2-1, 2-2 binding pieces (122, 132, 222, 232) are respectively inserted into the 1-1, 1-2, 2-1, 2-2 binding slits (S11, S12, S21, S22).

[0075] After that, the 1-1, 1-2, 2-1, 2-2 binding pieces (122, 132, 222, 232) may be folded vertically in multiple places to restrain the 1-1, 1-2, 2-1, 2-2 binding pieces (122, 132, 222, 232) so that they do not come off.

[0076] More preferably, the binding member (300) can be inserted to fix it as shown in Fig. 8, and when flipped over in this fixed state, the foldable paper table is completed in the form shown in Fig. 9.

[0077] Accordingly, the foldable paper table of the present invention has the advantage of being easy to carry due to its small volume, making it convenient to use, especially during outdoor leisure activities, and can be used in an eco-friendly manner without causing environmental pollution because it is made of paper even when discarded after use.
