Abstract
A foldable table has a plastics table plate, a hoop-shaped frame, four corner seats disposed on four corners of the hoop-shaped frame, and four leg tubes. Each leg tube is disposed on the corresponding corner seat. A center panel is disposed on the plastics table plate. The plastics table plate has a periphery flange and a periphery channel. Four square blocks are disposed on four corners of the plastics table plate. Each corner seat has a groove and an elastic blocking angle bar. At least a connection bar is connected to the corresponding corner seat and the corresponding leg tube. At least a connection plate is connected to the corresponding elastic blocking angle bar and the corresponding leg tube. The hoop-shaped frame is inserted in the plastics table plate. Each square block is inserted in the corresponding groove of the corner seat.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a foldable table. More particularly, the present invention relates to a foldable table which has a plastics table plate made by a blow molding method.
A conventional foldable table is very heavy. Thus it is difficult to carry the conventional foldable table to walk a long distance for a user.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
An object of the present invention is to provide a foldable table which has a plastics table plate to receive four leg tubes so that the foldable table will be in a compact configuration while the leg tubes are folded.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a foldable table which has a plastics table plate made by a blow molding method in order to reduce a weight of the plastics table plate.
Accordingly, a foldable table comprises a plastics table plate, a hoop-shaped frame, four corner seats disposed on four corners of the hoop-shaped frame, four leg tubes, and a plurality of fastening members. Each of the leg tubes is disposed on the corresponding corner seat. A center panel is disposed on the plastics table plate. The plastics table plate has a periphery flange and a periphery channel. Four protrusions are disposed on the center panel. Four protruded blocks are disposed on the plastics table plate. Four square blocks are disposed on four corners of the plastics table plate. A plurality of nuts are implanted in the periphery channel of the plastics table plate. The hoop-shaped frame has a plurality of through holes. Each of the corner seats has a groove and an elastic blocking angle bar. At least a connection bar is connected to the corresponding corner seat and the corresponding leg tube pivotally. At least a connection plate is connected to the corresponding elastic blocking angle bar and the corresponding leg tube pivotally. The hoop-shaped frame is inserted in the plastics table plate and confined by the periphery flange of the plastics table plate. Each of the square blocks is inserted in the corresponding groove of the corner seat.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Referring to
FIGS. 1
to
7
, a foldable table comprises a plastics table plate
1
, a hoop-shaped frame
21
, four corner seats
22
disposed on four corners of the hoop-shaped frame
21
, four leg tubes
25
, and a plurality of fastening members
27
. Each of the leg tubes
25
is disposed on the corresponding corner seat
22
.
A center panel
11
is disposed on the plastics table plate
1
.
The plastics table plate
1
has a periphery flange
12
and a periphery channel
10
.
Four protrusions
15
are disposed on the center panel
11
.
Four protruded blocks
14
are disposed on the plastics table plate
1
.
Four square blocks
16
are disposed on four corners of the plastics table plate
1
.
A plurality of nuts
13
are implanted in the periphery channel
10
of the plastics table plate
1
.
The hoop-shaped frame
21
has a plurality of through holes
211
.
Each of the corner seats
22
has a groove
26
and an elastic blocking angle bar
221
.
At least a connection bar
23
is connected to the corresponding corner seats
22
and the corresponding leg tube
25
pivotally.
At least a connection plate
24
is connected to the corresponding elastic blocking angle bar
221
and the corresponding leg tube
25
pivotally.
The hoop-shaped frame
21
is inserted in the plastics table plate
1
and confined by the periphery flange
12
of the plastics table plate
1
.
Each of the square blocks
16
is inserted in the corresponding groove
26
of the corner seat
22
.
Each of the fastening members
27
passes through the corresponding through hole
211
of the hoop-shaped frame
21
and the corresponding nut
13
.
The plastics table plate
1
is made by a blow molding method.
Referring to
FIGS. 5 and 7
again, the leg tubes
25
are extended.
Referring to
FIG. 3
again, the leg tubes
25
are folded.
Each of the leg tubes
25
is confined by the corresponding protrusion
15
and the corresponding protruded block
14
.
The invention has the following advantages. The plastics table plate is made by a blow molding method in order to reduce a weight of the plastics table plate. The nuts are implanted in the periphery channel of the plastics table plate in advance, so it is easy to assemble the foldable table. The corner seats reinforce a strength of the plastics table plate. The connection bar and the connection plate stabilize the corresponding leg tube. The plastics table plate receives the leg tubes so that the foldable table will be in a compact configuration while the leg tubes are folded.
The invention is not limited to the above embodiment but various modification thereof may be made. Further, various changes in form and detail may be made without departing from the scope of the invention.
