Description

The present invention relates to a table leg and a table.

Conventionally, tables have been known that are configured with a top plate and support legs that hang down from the underside of the top plate. Such tables are designed to meet the convenience of users, such as allowing objects to be placed on them.

Some conventional tables have a leg frame mechanism below the tabletop. This table has a pair of legs connected to the leg frame mechanism by a connector, and this connector is rotatably fixed to the tabletop, making it foldable. This allows the table to be made compact, making it easier to transport and store (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

Below, a table according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. However, the scope of the invention is not limited to the illustrated examples. In the following description, parts having the same functions and configurations will be given the same reference numerals and their description will be omitted.

Figures 1 to 5 are diagrams explaining tables according to the first embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 1, the table 1 according to this embodiment is configured with a tabletop 10 and a leg unit 20 that supports the lower part of the tabletop 10.

The tabletop 10 shown in FIG. 1 is formed in a flat circular shape, and has recesses 101 at appropriate positions on the bottom surface. The recesses 101 are configured to fit the upper end portions of the support legs 21 of the leg units 20 described later, and to position and support the support legs 21. The configuration for supporting the support legs 21 is not limited to the above-mentioned one, and may be other forms. For example, the support legs 21 may be supported by engaging the support legs 21 with the tabletop 10. In addition, it is preferable that the number and positions of the recesses 101 are set in consideration of the center of gravity of the tabletop 10 so that the tabletop 10 is stably supported by the leg units 20 when supported by the leg units 20. In this embodiment, three recesses 101 are formed at equal intervals near the outer periphery of the tabletop 10.

The leg unit 20 is configured with a support shaft 23 extending in the vertical direction, a number of connection parts 22 attached so as to extend outward with the support shaft 23 as a support shaft, and a support leg 21 attached to the tip of the connection part 22 and attached so as to extend in a direction intersecting (perpendicular to) the connection part 22, i.e., in the vertical direction.

The support leg 21 is a cylindrical rod body, and has a support part 201 at its upper end that fits into the recess 101, and a grounding part 202 for placing the table 1 on the ground or the like. In this embodiment, the support leg 21 is provided to extend vertically, but it is not limited to the vertical direction and may be provided to form a predetermined angle with respect to the vertical direction. The support leg 21 is extendable and adjustable in length using a fixed pin 206 provided on the base 204 and a position adjustment hole 207 opened in the adjustment part 205, as will be described in detail later. It is to be noted that the support leg 21 may not be extendable.

The connection part 22 is a cylindrical rod body, and is attached to the upper and lower parts of the support leg 21 via the connection members 214. The connection member 214 is formed with an annular support leg insertion part 214b and a cylindrical connection part receiving part 214a that holds the adjustment part 209 of the connection part 22. The support leg insertion part 214b has openings at the top and bottom, and the base part 204 or the adjustment part 205 of the support leg 21 is inserted through the connection part receiving part 214a. The connection part 22 is attached to the support leg 21 by fitting the adjustment part 209 of the connection part 22 into the connection part receiving part 214a. Here, as shown in FIG. 1, the connection part 22 is attached in a direction perpendicular to the support leg 21, but it may be configured to be attached so as to form a predetermined angle with respect to the perpendicular direction. In addition, the connection part 22, which will be described in detail later, can be extended or retracted by adjusting its length using a fixing pin 210 provided on the base part 208 and a position adjustment hole 211 opened in the adjustment part 209. However, it is not necessary to have a configuration that allows it to be extended or retracted.

The support shaft 23 is a cylindrical rod body and is provided so as to extend in the vertical direction. Here, the connection part 22 is provided with a connection member 213 at the base end, and the connection part 22 is attached to the support shaft 23 via the connection member 213 so as to be rotatable around the support shaft 23. The connection member 213 is formed with an annular support shaft insertion part 213b and a cylindrical connection part receiving part 213a that holds the base 208 of the connection part 22. The support shaft insertion part 213b has openings at the top and bottom, and the support shaft 23 is inserted through it. The connection part receiving part 213a is adapted to attach the connection part 22 to the support shaft 23 by fitting the base 208 of the connection part 22 into it. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the multiple connection parts 22 provided above the support shaft 23 are arranged in parallel in the vertical direction along the support shaft 23, and the connection parts 22 are positioned relative to the support shaft 23 by providing stoppers 212 above and below them. The stopper 212 is wound around the support shaft 23 and is integrally formed with an annular portion 212a with both ends cut out and flanges 212b protruding from both ends of the annular portion 212a, and the pair of flanges 212b are fastened with screws 212c to fix the stopper 212 to the support shaft 23. The multiple connection portions 22 provided below the support shaft 23 are also attached to the support shaft 23 in the above-mentioned manner. Note that in this embodiment, the tabletop 10 is stably supported by the support legs 21, so that the support shaft 23 is not in contact with the tabletop 10 or the floor surface, but the support shaft 23 may be in contact with either one or both of the tabletop 10 and the floor surface. The support shaft 23 may be extended to increase the distance between the upper and lower connection parts 22 to increase the support force of the tabletop 10. For example, in the case where a rectangular tabletop is supported by four support legs 21 (for example, when applied to a table tennis table, etc.), the support shaft 23 may be made the same length as the support legs 21 so as to contact the tabletop and the floor, and the upper and lower connection parts 22 may be arranged near the tabletop at their upper and lower parts near the floor to increase stability. On the other hand, when the support shaft 23 is configured to be at least spaced apart from the floor as in this embodiment, a space can be provided at the user's feet when the user sits on a chair or the like to use the tabletop, which increases convenience. The thickness of the support shaft 23 may be increased to increase stability.

Next, with reference to FIG. 2, we will explain how to remove the support leg 21 and the connection part 22 from the support shaft 23 of the leg unit 20 configured as described above.

First, as shown in the partially enlarged view of FIG. 2(a), when the screw 212c of the stopper 212 is loosened using a driver DR, the clamping force of the annular portion 212a against the support shaft 23 is released, and the stopper 212 becomes slidable in the vertical direction relative to the support shaft 23.

2(b), the fixing pin 206 provided on the base 204 of the support leg 21 is operated to release the engagement of the adjustment part 205 with the position adjustment hole 207, and the adjustment part 205 of the support leg 21 is lifted upward as shown in FIG. 2(b), so that the adjustment part 205 or the base 204 of the support leg 21 can be separated from the support shaft 23 together with the connection part 22. In addition, when the adjustment part 205 or the base 204 is to be separated from the connection part 22, this can be achieved by supporting the connection part 22 while sliding the adjustment part 205 upward or the base 204 downward. In this way, by making it possible to separate the connection part 22 and the support leg 21 from the support shaft 23, the leg unit 20 can be made compact, making it easier to carry and saving storage space.

Next, we will explain how to change the height of the leg unit 20 with reference to Figure 3.

As shown in FIG. 3(a), the adjustment portion 205 of the support leg 21 has a plurality of position adjustment holes 207 arranged at equal intervals along the extension direction of the adjustment portion 205. The fixing pin 206 provided on the base 204 of the support leg 21 can be inserted into one of the plurality of position adjustment holes 207 by sliding the adjustment portion 205 in the vertical direction to position the height of the support leg 21.

When changing the height of the support leg 21, as shown in the partially enlarged view of FIG. 3(a), first, the fixing pin 206 fixed to the base 204 with a screw is rotated in a direction to loosen the screw, and the engagement state between the fixing pin 206 and the position adjustment hole 207 is released, and then the adjustment part 205 is slid up and down to change the height of the support leg 21. After the height of the support leg 21 is determined, the fixing pin 206 is rotated in a direction to tighten it at that position, and the fixing pin 206 is inserted into the position adjustment hole 207 corresponding to the changed height, and the height of the support leg 21 is positioned and fixed. In this way, by changing the height of the adjustment part 205 relative to the base 204, the height of the support leg 21 can be changed (in other words, the height of the leg unit 20 can be changed), and for example, the height of the table 1 can be changed depending on the usage situation, thereby improving convenience.

Next, we will explain how to change the lateral length of the leg unit 20 with reference to Figure 4.

As shown in FIG. 4(a), the adjustment portion 209 of the connection portion 22 has a plurality of position adjustment holes 211 arranged at equal intervals along the extension direction of the adjustment portion 209. The fixing pin 210 provided on the base 208 of the connection portion 22 can be inserted into one of the plurality of position adjustment holes 211 by sliding the adjustment portion 209 in the extension direction to position the length of the connection portion 22.

When changing the length of the connection part 22, as shown in the partially enlarged view of FIG. 4(a), first, the fixing pin 210 fixed to the base part 208 by screwing is rotated in a direction to loosen the screw, and the engagement state between the fixing pin 210 and the position adjustment hole 211 is released, and then the adjustment part 209 is slid in its extension direction to change the length of the connection part 22. After the length of the connection part 22 is determined, the fixing pin 210 is rotated in a direction to tighten it at that position, and the fixing pin 210 is inserted into the position adjustment hole 211 corresponding to the changed length, and the length of the connection part 22 is positioned and fixed. In this way, by changing the length of the adjustment part 209 relative to the base part 208 (for example, see FIG. 4(b)), the length of the connection part 22 can be changed (in other words, the width of the leg unit 20 can be changed), and for example, as shown in FIG. 5(a), the leg unit 20 can be adapted according to the size and shape of the tabletop 10 to be used, thereby improving convenience.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5(b), a level 24 may be provided at an appropriate position on the table 1 so that the inclination state of the table 1 can be confirmed. The ground contact portion 202 of the support leg 21 may be rotated relative to the base portion 204 to allow fine adjustment of the height of the support leg 21. The fine adjustment function of the ground contact portion 202 may be omitted, and the configuration can be simplified by applying the configuration to situations where it is assumed that the floor surface is level.

Next, we will explain the table according to the second embodiment with reference to Figures 6 to 11.

As shown in FIG. 6, the table 1001 according to this embodiment is configured with a top plate 1010 and a leg unit 1020 that supports the lower part of the top plate 1010.

The tabletop 1010 shown in FIG. 6 is formed as a flat plate in a substantially square shape, and has recesses 1101 near each of the four corners of the bottom surface. The recesses 1101 are configured to fit the upper end portions of the support legs 21 of the leg unit 1020, and to be able to position and support the support legs 21.

The leg unit 1020 is provided so that the support legs 21 are arranged in the recesses 1101 of the top plate 1010, and is configured with a support shaft 23 extending in the vertical direction, a plurality of connection parts 22 attached so as to extend outward with the support shaft 23 as a support shaft, and the support legs 21 attached to the ends of the connection parts 22 so as to extend in a direction intersecting (perpendicular to) the connection parts 22, i.e., in the vertical direction. Note that the support legs 21, connection parts 22, and support shafts 23 have the same configuration as those shown in the first embodiment, and therefore a description thereof will be omitted.

Next, the procedure for replacing the support leg 21 and the connection part 22 in the leg unit 1020 configured as described above will be described with reference to Figures 7 to 11. Note that the following description can also be applied to other embodiments.

First, as shown in the partially enlarged view of FIG. 7(a), use a driver DR to loosen the screws 212c of the pair of stoppers 212 located above.

Next, as shown in FIG. 7(b), the adjustment parts 205 of the four support legs 21 and the corresponding connection parts 22 arranged above them are removed together with the pair of stoppers 212. Here, when separating the adjustment parts 205 from the support legs 21, the adjustment parts 205 can be separated by operating the fixing pins 206 as shown in FIG. 2(b) to release the engagement of the adjustment parts 205 with the position adjustment holes 207. Then, as shown in FIG. 8(a), the connection parts 22 arranged above can be removed together with the adjustment parts 205.

After that, in the manner described above, two of the four lower-positioned connection parts 22 attached to the support shaft 23 are separated together with the corresponding base parts 204 of the support leg 21. Here, when removing the two connection parts 22, the screw 212c of the upper stopper 212 of the pair of lower-positioned stoppers 212 is loosened using a screwdriver DR to make it removable, while the lower-positioned stopper 212 is kept fixed, as shown in FIG. 7(a). After that, two of the four base parts 205 and the connection parts 22 connected thereto are removed from the support shaft 23. Then, as shown in FIG. 8(b), two of the four base parts 205 are left on the support shaft 23, while the remaining two base parts 205 are removed from the support shaft 23 together with the corresponding connection parts 22.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9(a), two connecting parts 1022 longer than the short connecting part 22 that remains attached to the support shaft 23 are attached to the support shaft 23. More specifically, the support shaft insertion part 213b of the connecting member 213 attached to the base end of the long connecting part 1022 is inserted from above the support shaft 23, and then the stopper 212 is inserted into the support shaft 23. Then, as shown in FIG. 9(b), the flange 212b is fastened using a driver DR to position and fix the connecting part 1022 rotatably relative to the support shaft 23. Note that the configuration of the connecting member 213 is the same as that shown in the first embodiment, so a description thereof will be omitted.

Then, as shown in FIG. 10(a), the two short connection parts 22 of the four upper connection parts 22 removed from the support shaft 23 in FIG. 7(b) are placed above the short connection part 22 provided below, and the adjustment part 205 attached to the connection parts 22 is attached to the base 204 attached to the short connection part 22 provided below, and the connection member 213 provided at the base of the connection part 22 is inserted into the support shaft 23. At this time, a stopper 212 is inserted into the lower part of the connection member 21 to fix it to the support shaft 23, and the connection part 22 attached above the support shaft 23 is positioned. In this way, the two short connection parts 22 can be placed above the support shaft 23 as shown in FIG. 10(b).

Next, as shown in Fig. 11(a), the two long connection parts 1022 are arranged above the two long connection parts 1022 attached below the support shaft 23 as shown in Fig. 9, and the adjustment part 205 attached to the long connection parts 1022 is attached to the base 204 attached to the long connection parts 1022 that are provided, and the connection member 213 provided at the base of the connection parts 1022 is inserted into the support shaft 23. After that, the flange 212b of the stopper 212 is fastened using a driver DR, and the connection parts 22, 1022 are rotatably positioned and fixed relative to the support shaft 23, and the four connection parts 22, 1022 provided above by inserting them into the support shaft 23 are prevented from coming off. In this way, by making the connection parts 22, 1022 interchangeable in various ways, it is possible to accommodate changes in the form of the tabletop 1010, 2010 used, as shown in FIG. 11(b), for example, so that it is possible to provide leg units 20, 1020, 2020 that can be used with various tabletops, thereby improving convenience. Note that the support legs 21 can be extended or retracted in the manner described above to adjust the height.

In the above-mentioned embodiment, the support legs are supported by attaching multiple connection parts to both the upper and lower parts of the support shaft, but the support legs may be supported only at the upper or lower parts by attaching multiple connection parts only to either the upper or lower parts. Also, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the support legs are made extendable and retractable to adjust the height, but the support legs may not be provided with a height adjustment means. In this case, the height may be adjusted by changing multiple types of support legs with different lengths, for example.
Also, although the connecting portion is stretchable to adjust the size in the width direction, it may be configured not to stretch.

Next, we will explain modified examples of tables that can be applied to the present invention with reference to Figures 12 and 13.

The table 3001 shown in FIG. 12(a) has a top plate 3010 in the shape of an approximately isosceles right triangle, and the leg units 3020 support the top plate 3010 from below. In the example shown in FIG. 12(a), the leg units 3020 are configured with four support legs 21 and connection parts 22, 1022, and support the top plate 3010. More specifically, two types of connection parts 22, 1022 of different lengths are used in pairs, and each of them supports the top plate 3010 at an appropriate position.

The table 4001 shown in FIG. 12(b) has a rectangular top plate 4010 with one side cut into a triangular shape, and the leg unit 4020 supports the top plate 4010 from below. In the example shown in FIG. 12(b), the leg unit 4020 is configured with four support legs 21 and a connection part 1022, and supports the top plate 4010. More specifically, four connection parts 1022 of the same length are used to support the top plate 4010 at an appropriate position so as to avoid the cutout part. In this embodiment, by appropriately adjusting the length of the connection part 1022 of the leg unit 4020, it is possible to adapt the shape of the top plate, thereby improving convenience.

The table 5001 shown in FIG. 13(a) has a rectangular top plate 5010 with a rectangular notch 5011 formed on one side, and the leg unit 5020 supports the top plate 5010 from below. In the example shown in FIG. 13(a), the leg unit 4020 is configured with four support legs 21 and connection parts 1022, 2022 to support the top plate 5010. More specifically, three connection parts 1022 of the same length and one connection part 2022 of a different length from the connection part 1022 are used to support the top plate 5010 at an appropriate position so as to avoid the notch 5011. In this embodiment, by appropriately adjusting the length of the connection part 1022 of the leg unit 5020, it is possible to adapt the shape of the top plate and improve convenience.

The table 6001 shown in FIG. 13(b) has a rectangular top plate 5010 with a substantially square cutout 6011 on one side, and the leg unit 6020 supports the top plate 6010 from below. In the example shown in FIG. 13(b), the leg unit 6020 is configured with four support legs 21 and connection parts 22, 1022 to support the top plate 6010. More specifically, two connection parts 22 of the same length and two connection parts 1022 of different lengths from the connection parts 22 are used to support the top plate 6010 at an appropriate position so as to avoid the cutout 6011. In this embodiment, by appropriately adjusting the length of the connection parts 22, 1022 of the leg unit 6020, it is possible to adapt the shape of the top plate and improve convenience.

In the above-described embodiment, examples have been shown in which the tabletop is formed into a circular, triangular or rectangular shape, but other shapes (for example, polygonal shapes such as pentagons, or shapes with various designs) may be used. In this case, it is preferable to set the position of the recess formed on the bottom surface of the tabletop taking into account the center of gravity, and this allows the leg units to function as a table by adjusting the length of the connection parts.

Next, with reference to FIG. 14, we will explain another aspect of the fixing means between the base and the adjustment part in the support leg and the connection part that can be applied to the above-mentioned embodiment.

14(a) shows an embodiment of the fixing means in which a pair of position adjustment holes 204a, 204b are opened facing each other in the base 204A, and multiple pairs of the position adjustment holes 204a, 204b are arranged at equal intervals in the extension direction of the base 204A. A pair of spring plungers 205Aa, 205Ab are provided inside the adjustment part 205A with their back faces facing each other. The spring plungers 205Aa, 205Ab are each configured to include a main body 253, a spring 254 housed in the main body, and a pin 252 that is biased outward by the spring 254. When the pin 252 is aligned with the position adjustment holes 204a, 204b, it protrudes outward from the position adjustment holes 204a, 204b to fix the position of the support leg or the connection part. When adjusting the length of the support leg or connection part, the pin 252 is pressed and sinks into the position adjustment holes 204a and 204b, disengaging the base 204A from the adjustment part 205A, and the adjustment part 205A becomes slidable relative to the base 204A. After that, when the pin 252 is adjusted to an appropriate position and aligned with the other position adjustment holes 204a and 204b, the spring 254 causes the pin 252 to protrude from the position adjustment holes 240a and 204b, thereby fixing the position of the adjustment part 205A.

The embodiment of the fixing means shown in FIG. 14(b) is a fixing member 261 attached to the base 204B. The fixing member 261 is configured with a lever 261a, a rotating cam 261c that is integrally formed with the base of the lever 261a and has a center that is rotatable by a shaft 261b, a case 261d that houses the fixing member 261, and a pressure member 261e that is biased outward and is pressed against the adjustment part 205B by the rotating cam 261c to fix the position of the adjustment part 205B, and a through hole 261f through which the pressure member 261e passes is opened in the base 204B. When adjusting the length of the support leg or the connection part, the lever 261a of the fixing member 261 is operated to rotate the rotating cam 261c, thereby releasing the pressure contact state of the pressure member 261e against the adjustment part 205B. This allows the adjustment part 205B to slide relative to the base part 204B. After sliding the adjustment part 205B to an appropriate position, the lever 261a is operated to press the pressure contact member 261e against the adjustment part 205B, and the adjustment part 205B is positioned and fixed relative to the base part 204A.

Figure 14 (c) shows the configuration of the fixing means using the fixed pin 206 shown in the first embodiment described above. The fixed pin 206 is configured with a knob portion 206a that can be rotated by the user and a screw portion 206b provided at the tip of the knob portion 206a. In addition, the adjustment portion 205 has a plurality of position adjustment holes 205c arranged at equal intervals in the extension direction of the adjustment portion 205. The position adjustment holes 205c are formed with screw holes and are screwed with the screw portion 206b of the fixed pin 206.
