Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This application claims priority to Taiwanese Utility Model Patent Application No. 111206429, filed on Jun. 17, 2022.

FIELD

The present disclosure relates to a table, and more particularly to an assembly table.

BACKGROUND

A conventional assembly table comprises a plurality of inclined table legs intersecting each another, a table plate disposed on top ends of the table legs, and a plurality of screws securing the table legs to each other.

However, since the number of the components of the conventional assembly table is relatively large, the procedure of assembly and/or disassembly is complicated. In addition, the screws may protrude out of the table legs, which diminishes aesthetics, and increases the risk of scratching when moving or touching the table legs.

SUMMARY

Therefore, an object of the disclosure is to provide an assembly table that can alleviate at least one of the drawbacks of the prior art.

According to the disclosure, the assembly table includes a table plate, a table leg unit, a first connecting unit, a first mounting unit and a fastening unit. The table leg unit includes a first leg, a second leg and a third leg that are inclined with respect to the table plate, that intersect one another, and that are detachably mounted to a bottom surface of the table plate. The first connecting unit is detachably connected between the first leg and the second leg. The first mounting unit is detachably connected between the first leg and the third leg. The fastening unit includes a through hole formed through the third leg, and a penetrating fastener removably inserted through the through hole to fix the third leg to the second leg.
