S-Shaped Folding Pet Dining Table with Staggered Legs
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional pet dining tables are large, inconvenient for storage and transportation, and may lead to health issues for pets due to their size and design, which can cause instability and discomfort during feeding.
Innovation Solution
An S-shaped folding pet dining table with plastic construction, featuring two pairs of table legs that fold into a staggered position, increasing height without extending length, and a locking mechanism using rotating shafts and elastic buckles for stability and ease of use.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If conventional pet dining tables are made large to provide stable feeding surface, then feeding stability is improved, but storage and transportation convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The tabletop is divided into multiple detachable components that can be assembled and disassembled. During use, components are assembled to form a stable feeding surface; during storage, they are disassembled into smaller segments that occupy less space
Solution Approach 2:
The table legs are designed with folding mechanisms that allow dynamic transformation between extended (stable feeding) and retracted (compact storage) positions. The legs can be folded against the tabletop to reduce overall dimensions for storage and transportation
2Ease of operation
If pet dining table is made high to provide comfortable feeding height, then feeding comfort is improved, but packaging size increases
Solution Approach 1:
The table height is achieved through vertical extension of folding legs rather than increasing the horizontal footprint. The legs fold parallel to the tabletop surface, maintaining compact packaging dimensions while providing adequate feeding height when extended
3Stability of the object's composition
If pet dining table is made large to ensure stability, then stability is improved, but transportation cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The table is segmented into modular components that can be packed efficiently in compact containers. This reduces the volume requiring transportation while ensuring that assembled components form a stable structure during use
Solution Approach 2:
The folding leg mechanism allows the table to transition between compact transportation configuration and stable usage configuration, optimizing both transportation efficiency and operational stability

AI summary
The disclosure provides an S-shaped folding pet dining table, which includes a tabletop made from a plastic material and two pairs of table legs mounted at bottoms of left and right ends of the tabletop respectively, wherein top of the tabletop is lying on a horizontal plane, the tabletop is bent in an S shape in plan view, and at least two feeding bowl placement holes are formed in a staggering manner according to bending of the S shape of the tabletop; and the two pairs of table legs are both positioned outside front and rear side edges of the tabletop after being oppositely folded, and the two pairs of table legs are staggered according to the bending of the S shape of the tabletop. The dining table reaches a height comfortable for a large/medium dog, the height may be maximized by virtue of a finite space, the structure is simple, and convenience for operation is achieved.
