Definitions

  • This disclosure relates to folding tables. More particularly, this disclosure relates to folding tables which may be configured for use at a variety of differing table top heights.
  • a small table may be useful for eating, reading, writing, or working with a computer.
  • the optimal table top height for the performance of each of these tasks may not be the same.
  • Certain tasks may be more preferably performed on a taller table while other tasks are more preferably carried out using a somewhat shorter table.
  • FR-A-1123709 discloses improvements to height adjustment devices for tables and the like, consisting in supporting the horizontal plate by means of a system of two articulated frames, one of which pivots at its upper horizontal side at a fixed point of the length of said tray. The upper horizontal side of the other engages in one of a series of open slots provided in the upper edge of a member held pressed against the lower wall of the tray by a spring and lowerable by a lever during adjustment in height of said table.
  • variable height table includes a table top having an upper surface and a lower surface and a table top height.
  • the variable height table also includes a scissor-folding table base assembly having a first leg and a second leg.
  • the first and second legs each have an elongate diagonal member, an upper cross-member attached to a first end of the elongate diagonal member, and a lower foot member attached to a second end of the elongate diagonal member.
  • the first leg upper cross-member is fixedly rotatably connected to the lower surface of the table top
  • the second leg upper cross-member is slidably retained adjacent the lower surface of the table top
  • the first and second legs are pivotably connected to one another, at a position on each leg between the first and the second ends of the legs, so as to form an X-shape.
  • the variable height table also include a clamp, having a plurality of retaining notches for retaining the second leg upper cross-member, and biased against the lower surface of the table top by a spring.
  • Movement of the table's second leg upper cross-member from a first of the retaining notches to a second of the retaining notches causes the legs to pivot relative to one another and varies the table top height from a first height to a second height.
  • the first leg is fixedly rotatably connected to the lower surface of the table top by one or more retainers that are molded into the lower surface of the table top.
  • the present disclosure provides a folding table which is movable between a folded position and a plurality of upright positions. Each of the upright positions corresponds to a different table height.
  • the folding table includes a table top having an upper surface and a lower surface and table top height.
  • the folding table also includes a scissor-folding table base assembly having a first leg and a second leg. The first and second legs each have an elongate diagonal member, an upper cross-member attached to a first end of the elongate diagonal member, and a lower foot member attached to a second end of the elongate diagonal member.
  • the first leg upper cross-member is fixedly rotatably connected to the lower surface of the table top
  • the second leg upper cross-member is slidably retained adjacent the lower surface of the table top
  • the first and second legs are pivotably connected to one another, at a position on each leg between the first and the second ends of the legs, so as to form an X-shape.
  • the folding table also include a clamp, having a plurality of retaining notches for retaining the second leg upper cross-member, and biased against the lower surface of the table top by a spring.
  • Movement of the folding table's second leg upper cross-member from a first of the retaining notches to a second of the retaining notches causes the table to move from a first upright position, having a first tabletop height, to a second upright position, having a second tabletop height. Removal of the folding table's second leg upper cross-member from all of the retaining notches allows the legs of the table base assembly to collapse into a folded position.
  • the table top preferably includes a blow-molded plastic member.
  • the table top upper surface preferably has a D-shape.
  • each foot member preferably includes a first end and a second end and is attached to the diagonal member only at the first end of the foot member.
  • each foot member preferably includes a first end and a second end and is attached to the diagonal member at a point located between the two ends of the foot member.
  • first and second legs are preferably each formed from tubular metal.
  • the foot members preferably each have a width which is greater than the width of the tabletop.
  • a variable-height, folding table is provided.
  • the folding table is movable between a folded position and a plurality of upright positions. Each of the upright positions corresponds to a different table height.
  • the folding table 10 includes a table top 12 having an upper surface 14 and a lower surface 16 and a table top height.
  • the upper surface 14 is generally smooth, but a pattern or texture may be formed in the upper surface 14 if desired.
  • the table top 12 is generally sized for personal use by a single individual.
  • the table top 12 may in preferably have length of from about 24 to about 30 inches and a width of from about 18 to about 20 inches.
  • the table top upper surface 14 is generally "D-shaped" when viewed from above.
  • one side of table top 12 may be curved along its outer edge, with the remaining sides of the table having generally straight edges.
  • the table top 12 is preferably provided as a blow-molded plastic member 18. More preferably, substantially the entire table top 12 is provided by as a single blow-molded plastic member.
  • This blow-molded plastic member 18 will generally have a substantially hollow interior in order to reduce the overall weight of the folding table. In order to provide additional strength and rigidity to the hollow, molded plastic member 18, a pattern of ribs or other shapes may be formed into the molded lower surface 16 of the table top 12.
  • the variable height table also includes a scissor-folding table base assembly 20.
  • This base assembly 20 includes a first leg 22 and a second leg 24.
  • the first and second legs 22, 24 each have elongate diagonal members 26a, 26b and each of the elongate diagonal members 26a, 26b have first ends 28a, 28b and second ends 30a, 30b.
  • Upper cross-member 32a, 32b are attached to respective first ends 28a, 28b of each of the elongate diagonal member 26a, 26b.
  • a bracket or other bracing may also be included in order to reinforce the connection between the respective diagonal members 26a, 26b and the upper cross-members 32a, 32b.
  • first and second legs 22, 24 are preferably each formed from tubular metal. In general, the first and second legs 22, 24 each preferably have an overall length of from about 42 to about 45 inches.
  • the first leg upper cross-member 32a is fixedly rotatably connected to the lower surface 16 of the table top 12.
  • the first leg 22 is fixedly rotatably connected to the lower surface 16 of the table top 12 by one or more retainers 36 which are molded into the lower surface 16 of the table top 12.
  • the second leg upper cross-member 32b is slidably retained adjacent the lower surface 16 of the table top 12.
  • the ends of the second leg upper cross-member 32b may be held within a pair of tracks 38 which are attached to the lower surface 16 of the table top 12, as shown in FIG. 5 .
  • each of the tracks 38 includes a gap 40 through which the ends of the second cross-member 32b may be inserted or removed from the tracks 38, as also shown in FIG. 5 .
  • the first and second legs 22, 24 are also pivotably connected to one another by a pin 42, at a position on each leg between the first and the second ends of the legs, generally approximately midway along the length of each of the first and second legs 22, 24. Being pivotably connected in this matter, the first and second legs 22, 24 together form an X-shape.
  • the foot members 34a, b of each leg also include first ends 44a, 44b and second ends 46a, 46b.
  • the foot members 34a, 34b are generally attached to the diagonal members 26a, 26b of the legs only at the first ends 44a, 44b of the respective foot members 34a, 34b.
  • each of the foot members 34a, 34b may be attached to the respective diagonal members 26a, 26b at a point located between the two ends of the foot members.
  • the foot members are each preferably formed from tubular metal.
  • the foot members 34a, 34b preferably each have a width which is greater than the width of the table top 12 in order to improve the stability of the table 10.
  • the variable height table 10 also include a clamp 48, having a plurality of retaining notches 50 for retaining the second leg upper cross-member 32b, as seen in FIGS. 3-5 .
  • the clamp 48 includes two generally parallel arms 52a, 52b each having a plurality of retaining notches 50.
  • the retaining notches 50 of the two arms 50a, 50b are arranged in corresponding pairs.
  • the clamp 48 may be pivotably connected to the lower surface 16 of the table top 12 by a rod 54 which passes through the clamp 48 and which is fastened to the underside of the table top 12.
  • a spring 56 may also be included to bias the clamp 48 against the lower surface 16 of the table top 12.
  • the second leg 24 is removably held in place by inserting the cross-member 32b of the second leg 24 into one of the pairs of retaining notches 50, with the spring 56 holding the clamp 48 against the table top 12 so as to secure the second cross-member 32b in the retaining notches 50.
  • a handle 58 connected to the rod 54, allows the clamp 48 to be pivoted away from lower surface 16 of the table top 12, in order to allow the second leg cross-member 32b to be removed from the retaining notches 50.
  • the table 10 In use, movement of the table's second leg upper cross-member 32b from a first of the retaining notches 50 to a second of the retaining notches 50 causes the legs 22, 24 to pivot relative to one another. This in turn causes the table top 12 to move from a first upright position, having a first tabletop height, to a second upright position, having a second tabletop height.
  • the table 10 may for instance vary from a first use height of about 23 inches to a second use of height of about 25 inches. Additional tabletop heights may also be provided by providing further retaining notches 50 in the clamp 48.
  • a single personal table may be used for a variety of tasks, each of which may be best accomplished by a table top of a different height.
  • the same personal table may be useful for eating, reading, writing, or working with a computer.
  • the same table may be adapted for personal use by multiple persons of different heights.
  • the table 10 of the present disclosure may also be folded away for storage when not in use.
  • the table 10 is folded by first removing the table's second leg upper cross-member 32b from all of the retaining notches of the clamp and second removing the ends of the second cross-member 32b from the sliding tracks 38 via the gaps 40.
  • the legs 22, 24 of the table base assembly may then be collapsed into a folded position, so that table 10 folds nearly flat for storage.
