[0018] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.
[0019] The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular forms “a” and “an” as used herein are also intended to include the plural. It should also be understood that the terms “comprising” and / or “including” as used herein specify the presence of the stated features, integers, steps, operations, units, and / or components, without excluding the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, units, components, and / or combinations thereof.
[0020] Please refer to Figures 1, 2, and 3. Figure 1 is a perspective view of a table 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 is a front view of the table 10 shown in Figure 1, and Figure 3 is a rear view of the table 10 shown in Figure 1. To achieve at least one or more of the aforementioned advantages, an embodiment of the present invention provides a table 10 for a vehicle, the vehicle having door handles and a center console armrest. Typically, the door handles are mounted on the doors, and the center console armrest is located between the driver's seat and the passenger seat. The table 10 is a foldable table 10. Specifically, the table 10 may include a first panel 21 and a second panel 22.
[0021] The first panel 21 is used to connect the door handle armrest. The second panel 22 is movably connected to the first panel 21 and is used to connect the central control armrest. The first panel 21 can be flipped from a first position to a second position relative to the second panel 22 to form a foldable tabletop 10, which is convenient for setting up and storage. The first panel 21 can be folded from 0° to 180° relative to the second panel 22. When in the first position, the back of the first panel 21 and the back of the second panel 22 are close to each other, that is, the tabletop 10 is folded up; when in the second position, as shown in the figure, the front of the first panel 21 and the front of the second panel 22 are on the same horizontal plane, which can meet the user's needs for dining, entertainment, office work and other aspects.
[0022] For example, taking a Tesla vehicle as an example, the door handle and center console armrest are at the same height. Therefore, after connecting the first panel 21 to the door handle and the second panel 22 to the center console armrest, the first panel 21 and the second panel 22 are on the same horizontal plane. When not in use, the table 10 can be folded away to save space. However, this case is not limited to this. When the door handle and center console armrest are not at the same height, the height can be adjusted by the telescopic device 28 so that the front of the first panel 21 and the second panel 22 are on the same horizontal plane, avoiding tilting of the panels. Specifically, the telescopic device 28 can be connected only to the second panel 22, and the height of the second panel 22 can be adjusted to ensure that the front of the first panel 21 and the second panel 22 are on the same horizontal plane; or another telescopic device can be added to connect to the first panel 21 to adjust the height of the first panel 21, and the front of the first panel 21 and the second panel 22 can be adjusted simultaneously to ensure that the front of the first panel 21 and the second panel 22 are on the same horizontal plane. The telescopic device 28 can be a telescopic rod device, a telescopic foot device, or a telescopic bolt device, etc., as long as it can adjust the height.
[0023] In some embodiments, the first panel 21 and the second panel 22 are connected by a hinge so that the first panel 21 can be flipped relative to the second panel 22.
[0024] In some embodiments, when in the second position, the first panel 21 and the second panel 22 form an arc-shaped groove 24. The arc-shaped groove 24 adopts an ergonomic arc design, which is convenient for users of various body shapes. For example, users with large bellies can also use the table board 10 conveniently through the arc-shaped groove 24.
[0025] In some embodiments, the corners of the first panel 21 have positioning grooves 26 for engaging the door handle armrest and strengthening the fixation. Preferably, the corners of the second panel 22 may also be provided with positioning grooves 26.
[0026] In some embodiments, the back of both the first panel 21 and the back of the second panel 22 are provided with an anti-slip layer to prevent the tabletop 10 from moving and to facilitate use. The material of the anti-slip layer may include silicone.
[0027] In some embodiments, when in the second position, the outer contour of the table 10 matches the shape of the storage pad in the vehicle's storage compartment, facilitating access to the table 10.
[0028] For example, when the table 10 is placed on the driver's seat, the first panel 21 is the left panel, which is connected to the door handle armrest on the driver's side, and the second panel 22 is the right panel; when the table 10 is placed on the passenger seat, the first panel 21 is the right panel, which is connected to the door handle armrest on the passenger side, and the second panel 22 is the left panel.
[0029] In summary, by using the table 10 for vehicles provided by this invention, the table 10 can be conveniently accessed and stored in the vehicle through the combination of the first panel 21 and the second panel 22, which facilitates the user's needs for eating, entertainment, office work and other aspects, and meets the user's usage needs.
