Definitions

  • the invention relates to a folding table according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Foldable tables have already become known between a horizontal opened working position and a stowage position are adjustable.
  • the two table top halves from their horizontal working position to one vertical position adjusted so that the entire table only a comparatively low stowage position is required.
  • folding tables are for example from the US 3,861,325 or EP 0 064 365 A2.
  • On generic folding table is from DE 43 34 276 A1.
  • At least one tabletop half is adjusted so that when swiveling from the stowed position to the use position between the two tabletop halves sufficiently large spacing gap remains, so that fingers can never be squeezed here.
  • the Table opened into a horizontal position of use then, in a second step, the at least one adjustable worktop half on the other worktop half be moved until both table top halves lie against each other at the front and the one before existing gap is closed.
  • a stop is also provided for this purpose, the adjustment movement of the at least one tabletop half limited away from the other tabletop half.
  • the stop is preferably implemented such that when it is set up of the table automatically one half of the table top due to the dead weight in this stroke-limited End position while maintaining the clearance gap held to the adjacent second half of the table becomes. This will cause the table to move when it is being raised always the desired safety gap automatically realized between the two table top halves.
  • a work table is also from DE-U-297 13 827 known.
  • this previously known work table comprises two table top halves, in the final horizontal use position only positioned at a predeterminable distance can be. This distance can then no longer be used further reduce or bridge. From this position of use the table can be in a folded position can be adjusted using the two tabletop halves then pushed further apart and around overhead pivot axes hanging downwards be pivoted.
  • the corresponding stop is realized on the table base construction, preferably on a horizontal pivot axis around which the table top halves are rotatably arranged.
  • At least one adjustable tabletop half in folded position of the table is higher and during the raising of the table, during the Swiveling in a horizontal position, now increasingly further from the vertical median transverse plane comes, with the formation of the desired security gap.
  • This can preferably be done by a fixed, non-rotatable stop can be realized.
  • the table described in the drawing points in the longitudinal direction of the table A stand device 1 is staggered based on the center of the table rather the outside Frontal area is assigned.
  • the stand device 1 each comprises a pair of feet 1 ', which to their on the floor movable rollers 5 slightly diverging are implemented in a curved design.
  • the shape and type of the base can vary widely also deviating from the embodiment shown be implemented.
  • the table top 3 consists of two table top halves 3 ', being on the underside of each tabletop 3 'assigned a pair of mounting rails 7 is provided are in the parallel longitudinal direction of the table arranged and offset transversely to the longitudinal direction and on the underside of the respective tabletop half 3 ' are mounted.
  • each tabletop half is a support device 11 assigned, each from a table top in the longitudinal direction extending double tube arrangement 11 '.
  • the design includes several Swivel-tilt axes, all of them parallel and transverse to Table top longitudinal direction are arranged. These axes are also aligned horizontally.
  • This pedestal tilt axis 15 is thereby held over the mounting rail 7, that is to say indirectly connected to the respective tabletop half 3 '.
  • the two support devices 11 are over the middle one, which runs transverse to the longitudinal direction of the table Vertical plane of symmetry 19 extended. Longitudinal view the two cut the table mutually extending support devices 11 in Area of the middle vertical plane of symmetry 19, namely on a transverse and horizontal axis line 21, along which a connecting axis 23 is formed, the double pipe devices 11 'of the two support devices 11 articulates with each other.
  • a hinge axis 27 is formed, via which the Support device 11 articulated with a spacer 29 is connected, which is firmly attached to the underside of the table Table top 3 'and / or on the mounting rails 7 is held and supported.
  • the adjustment process between the stowed position and the set up position Position and vice versa are also easier still spring devices provided that part of the Take up weight and thereby facilitate the adjustment movement.
  • This spring device 37 is supported at least indirectly on both sides near the separation level 19 on the tabletop halves, i.e. in the embodiment shown on the supports.
  • external spring devices 39 are provided which the upper pedestal tilt axis 15 sit ( Figure 7).
  • the cam 43 ' an outside and facing upwards Stop section 43 ", with a counter stop 45 interacts.
  • the counter stop 45 consists of a Recess 45 'in the underside of the table top in the Sliding plate 3 'is incorporated and through a transverse to Recess limitation 45 "running at table top level is limited.
  • the adjustment limitation 42 i.e. in particular the stop 43 in the form of the stop cam 43 'is in schematic perspective representation in FIG. 9 shown.
