Abstract
A folding table with crossed legs is provided. The table comprises a tabletop board, first leg shelf and second leg shelf. The two leg shelves support the tabletop board under the tabletop board. The two leg shelves also cross and pivot with each other at their central locations. The top of the first leg shelf is pivoted on the one side of the undersurface of the tabletop board. A fastening device is fixed on the other side of the undersurface of the tabletop board. A transverse supporting rod is fixed on the top of the second leg shelf. The transverse supporting rod is fastened on the undersurface of the tabletop board by the fastening device. The top of the second leg shelf is not directly fixed on the undersurface of the tabletop board. When the table is unfolded, the undersurface of the tabletop board and the transverse supporting rod are fixed oppositely by the fastening device. When the table is folded, the transverse supporting rod is disengaged from the fastening device.
Description
- The invention concerns a folding table, specifically a folding table with crossed legs, which is stable in structure and easily folded.
- Folding tables are frequently used on many occasions, like in offices or at homes. In offices, they can be employed for placement of some commonly-used small items, or as tea-tables, or for temporary placement of manuscripts, drawings and charts, pens, etc during discussions; at homes, they can be employed as work or study tables, or for placements of some daily-used small items. Therefore, as a conclusion, folding tables should be designed as small and handy, easily-folded and stored and easily-moved.
- In order to save space while not being used, ordinary folding tables adopt crossed-leg structures, which mainly include two types: 1) table legs are fixed straightly on both sides of the bottom of table top by two table-leg brackets, which can be folded to the center of the table top and placed under the table top; 2) the table-leg bracket consists of intercrossed table legs, forming a foldable structure. In term of folding procedure, the aforementioned first structure is obviously less easy than the second one which is thus particularly suitable for temporary personal use.
- Among the current folding structures of folding tables with crossed legs, since the top of intercrossed table-leg brackets are fixed to the bottom of table top, the brackets can only rotate relative to the table top but not move away from the top. Therefore, in order to be foldable, one of the brackets should be divided into two foldable parts, and a locking device should be fixed at the fold, so that it can lock the folding structure to be unfolded. These are some disadvantages concerning the aforementioned structures: 1) since one brackets is divided into two foldable parts, despite of the locking device for fixation, the stability of the table leg are greatly reduced when the bracket is unfolded; 2) some folding disorders easily appears at the fold of the table-leg bracket; 3) the folding procedure is not convenient.
