FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE

The present disclosure relates to a foldable table.


BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE

Although there are many styles of foldable tables, a structure of a table board of the foldable tables is basically unchanged. The main difference lies in a structure of table legs. Some table legs adopt an X-shaped cross structure, some adopt a left-right symmetrical U-shaped structure, and other table legs adopt a T-shaped structure. Obviously, most of the current foldable tables are relatively old-fashioned and not unique enough. When consumers choose to buy, they hope to have more style options, especially more unique styles to choose from.


BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE

The present disclosure provides a foldable table to solve the deficiencies in the background.


In order to solve the technical problem, a first technical solution of the present disclosure is as follows.


A foldable table comprises a table board and a foot supporting frame. A rear portion of a bottom surface of the table board is rotatably connected to a top portion of the foot supporting frame. The foot supporting frame comprises two supporting rods disposed symmetrically on a left side and a right side of the foldable table and a U-shaped fixed rod. Lower ends of the two supporting rods are respectively rotatably connected to two ends of an opening of the U-shaped fixed rod. When the table board and the foot supporting frame are opened to be in an opened state, the U-shaped fixed rod is supported on ground with the opening of the U-shaped fixed rod facing forward, the two supporting rods are disposed obliquely with respect to the ground, and a side view of the folding table is Z-shaped.


The table board is rotatably connected to the foot supporting frame, and the table board can be rotated to be in the opened state or a folded state. The two supporting rods are rotatably connected to the two ends of the U-shaped fixed rod, the U-shaped fixed rod can be rotated to be in the opened state or the folded state, and the opening of the U-shaped fixed rod faces forward to be supported on the ground when the U-shaped fixed rod is in the opened state. The two supporting rods are disposed obliquely with respect to the ground, and the table board and the foot supporting frame form a Z-shape, which has the advantage of a unique structure.


In a preferred embodiment, when the table board and the foot supporting frame are opened to be in the opened state, a projection surface of a top view of the table board substantially overlaps with the U-shaped fixed rod. The table board extends forward at the upper ends of the two supporting rods, and the U-shaped fixed rod extends rearward at the lower ends of the two supporting rods.


In a preferred embodiment, when the table board is in a folding process, the table board is rotated downward around a first connection point at which the table board is connected to the foot supporting frame, and the table board is folded on the two supporting rods. When the U-shaped fixed rod is in the folding process, the U-shaped fixed rod is rotated downward around a second connection point at which the U-shaped fixed rod is connected to the two supporting rods, and the U-shaped fixed rod is folded on the two supporting rods or on a top surface of the table board. When the U-shaped fixed rod is folded, the U-shaped fixed rod is rotated downward and then pressed against the two supporting rods or the top surface of table board, and the folding method is novel.


In a preferred embodiment, each of the two ends of the opening of the U-shaped fixed rod is disposed with a position-limiting structure. When the foot supporting frame is opened to be in the opened state, each of the two supporting rods is obliquely disposed on the position-limiting structure with respect to the ground. One or more oblique linking bars are connected between the table board and the two supporting rods. When the table board is opened to be in the opened state, the table board is supported on the one or more oblique linking bars. The position-limiting structure is used to more stably block the two supporting rods, and the oblique linking bar is used to more stably support the table board, so that when the foldable table is opened for use, the force acting on the foldable table is stronger and the stability of the foldable table is better.


In a preferred embodiment, the position-limiting structure is a U-shaped block in which an end portion of each of the two supporting rods is disposed, and the end portion of each of the two supporting rods is rotatably connected to the U-shaped block through a rivet. The U-shaped block can not only surround the end portion of each of the two supporting rods from two sides of each of the two supporting rods to make the connection between the two easier, but also a bottom edge of the U-shaped block can be directly used to inhibit movement of the two supporting rods, which has the advantage of simple structure.


In a preferred embodiment, each of the two ends of the opening of the U-shaped fixed rod is disposed with an outer plastic member, and the outer plastic member is wrapped around the U-shaped block. Each of the lower ends of the two supporting rods is disposed with an inner plastic member, and the outer plastic member is sleeved outside of the inner plastic member. The outer plastic member and the inner plastic member can not only avoid the rigid friction of the metal during the folding process of the foot supporting frame but also can directly act as a plastic foot pad.


In a preferred embodiment, the foldable table further comprises a table foot locking mechanism connected to at least one of the outer plastic members, and the U-shaped fixed rod is locked to the table foot locking mechanism when the U-shaped fixed rod is opened to be in the opened state. When the U-shaped fixed rod is locked to the table foot locking mechanism, the foot supporting frame cannot be folded, and the use safety is good. When the U-shaped fixed rod needs to be folded, the table foot locking mechanism can be released, and the use is convenient.


In a preferred embodiment, the one or more oblique linking bars are two oblique linking bars respectively corresponding to the two supporting rods. An upper end of each of the two oblique linking bars is rotatably connected to a rear portion of a side of the table board, and a lower end of each of the two oblique linking bars is rotatably connected to a sliding sleeve slidably sleeved on each of the two supporting rods. Therefore, the sliding sleeve slides on each of the two supporting rods, and the oblique linking bar is linked with the table board, so that an opening angle of the table board can be adjusted.


In a preferred embodiment, at least one of the sliding sleeves is disposed with a table board locking mechanism, and the at least one of the sliding sleeves is locked to the table board locking mechanism when the table board is opened to be in the opened state. When the sliding sleeve is locked to the table board locking mechanism, the table board cannot swing during use. The foldable table has good bearing capacity and good stability, and when the foldable table needs to be folded, the table board locking mechanism can be unlocked, which is convenient to use.


In a preferred embodiment, the foldable table further comprises a cup holder. A side of the cup holder is disposed with a C-shaped buckle, and the C-shaped buckle is buckled to one of the two supporting rods. The cup holder can be buckled on one of the two supporting rods through the C-shaped buckle and can be removed at any time when not in use, which is convenient to use.


In a preferred embodiment, upper ends of the two supporting rods are connected by a cross rod, and the two supporting rods are telescopic. At least one buckle member is sleeved on the cross rod and is connected to the bottom surface of the table board, and a side wall of the cup holder comprises a hanging groove. The at least one buckle member comprises a hanging lug, and the hanging lug is configured to be locked to the hanging groove. The cup holder can be hung on the at least one buckle member when not in use, which is convenient to use.


In a preferred embodiment, when the table board is in a folding process, the table board is rotated downward around a first connection point at which the table board is connected to the foot supporting frame, and the table board is folded on the two supporting rods. When the U-shaped fixed rod is in the folding process, the two supporting rods are rotated rearward around a second connection point at which the U-shaped fixed rod is connected to the two supporting rods, and the two supporting rods are folded on the U-shaped fixed rod. The table board and the U-shaped fixed rod are respectively folded on an upper side and a lower side of the two supporting rods, so that a thickness of the foldable table is small after being folded.


In a preferred embodiment, each of the two ends of the opening of the U-shaped fixed rod is disposed with an outer hinge, the lower end of each of the two supporting rods is disposed with an inner hinge, and the outer hinge and the inner hinge are rotatably connected to each other through a rivet. An inside of the inner hinge is disposed with one or more position-limiting tooth grooves, an inside of the outer hinge is rotatably connected with a swinging tooth, and the inside of the outer hinge is further disposed with a torsion spring. When the U-shaped fixed rod is opened to be in the opened state, the swinging tooth is disposed in the one or more position-limiting tooth grooves due to an elastic force of the torsion spring so that the two supporting rods are locked to the U-shaped fixed rod. When in use, since the swinging tooth is locked to the one or more position-limiting tooth grooves, the foot supporting frame is in the opened state and has a stable structure.


In a preferred embodiment, the foldable table further comprises a pushing piece rotatably sleeved on the rivet. A first side of the pushing piece facing the swinging tooth comprises a protrusion, and a second side of the pushing piece facing away from the swinging tooth comprises an arc-shaped position-providing groove. The inside of the inner hinge is disposed with a pushing block, and the pushing block is located in the arc-shaped position-providing groove. The two supporting rods are configured to be rotated frontward to drive the pushing block to rotate about the rivet to correspond to a lower end of the arc-shaped position-providing groove to push the pushing piece to rotate together, so that the swinging tooth is pushed away from the one or more position-limiting tooth grooves. The one or more position-limiting tooth grooves are configured to be misaligned with the swinging tooth before the two supporting rods are rotated rearward to drive the pushing block to rotate about the rivet to correspond to an upper end of the arc-shaped position-providing groove. Through the pushing piece and the pushing block on the inner hinge, rotating the two supporting rods can drive the swinging tooth to be separated from the one or more position-limiting tooth grooves, and the unlocking and folding operations are very convenient.


In a preferred embodiment, one or more oblique linking bars are connected between the table board and the two supporting rods. When the table board is opened to be in the opened state, the table board is supported on the one or more oblique linking bars. The one or more oblique linking bars are two oblique linking bars respectively corresponding to the two supporting rods. An upper end of each of the two oblique linking bars is rotatably connected to a rear portion of a side of the table board, and a lower end of each of the two oblique linking bars is rotatably connected to a sliding sleeve slidably sleeved on each of the two supporting rods. At least one of the sliding sleeves is disposed with a table board locking mechanism, and the at least one of the sliding sleeves is locked to the table board locking mechanism when the table board is opened to be in the opened state.

Referring to FIGS. 7-10, in this embodiment, steps of opening the foldable table are preferably: the first step is to open the U-shaped fixed rod 24, the second step is to open the table board 10, and finally the two supporting rods 22 are adjusted to extend and retract as required.


Embodiment 2

Referring to FIGS. 11-18, FIG. 11 and FIG. 12 are respectively a first perspective view of the foldable table and a first cross-sectional view of the foldable table illustrated in the first perspective view, FIG. 13 and FIG. 14 are respectively a second perspective view of the foldable table and a second cross-sectional view of the foldable table illustrated in the second perspective view, FIG. 15 and FIG. 16 are respectively a third perspective view of the foldable table and a third cross-sectional view of the foldable table illustrated in the third perspective view, and FIG. 17 and FIG. 18 are respectively a fourth perspective view of the foldable table and a fourth cross-sectional view of the foldable table illustrated in the fourth perspective view.


The difference between embodiment 1 and embodiment 2 is the connecting structure between each of the two supporting rods 22 and the U-shaped fixed rod 24. In Embodiment 2, the connecting structure between each of the two supporting rods 22 and the U-shaped fixed rod 24 is as described below. When the foot supporting frame 20 is in the folding process, the two supporting rods 22 are rotated rearward about the connection point at which the U-shaped fixed rod 24 is connected to the two supporting rods 22 and are folded on the U-shaped fixed rod 24. It is understandable that movement between the two supporting rods 22 and the U-shaped fixed rod 24 is relative, and a rearward rotation of the two supporting rods 22 is equivalent to a frontward rotation of the U-shaped fixed rod 24.


Preferably, each of the two ends of the opening of the U-shaped fixed rod 24 is disposed with an outer hinge 243, the lower end of each of the two supporting rods 22 is disposed with an inner hinge 223, and the outer hinge 243 and the inner hinge 223 are rotatably connected to each other through a rivet 28. An inside of the inner hinge 223 is disposed with one or more position-limiting tooth grooves 224, and an inside of the outer hinge 243 is rotatably connected with a swinging tooth 244. The inside of the outer hinge 243 is further disposed with a torsion spring 245. When the U-shaped fixed rod 24 is opened to be in the opened state, the swinging tooth 244 is inserted into the one or more position-limiting tooth grooves 224 due to an elastic force of the torsion spring 245 so that the two supporting rods 22 are locked to the U-shaped fixed rod 24. That is to say, when the U-shaped fixed rod 24 is opened to be in the opened state, the inner hinge 223 and the outer hinge 243 are locked to each other through the one or more position-limiting tooth grooves 224 and the swinging tooth 244, so that the two supporting rods 22 can be stably, obliquely placed with respect to the ground.


Preferably, the foldable table further comprises a pushing piece 29 rotatably sleeved on the rivet 28. A first side of the pushing piece 29 facing the swinging tooth 244 comprises a protrusion 291, and a second side of the pushing piece 29 facing away from the swinging tooth 244 comprises an arc-shaped position-providing groove 292. The inner hinge 223 is disposed with a pushing block 225, and the pushing block 225 is located in the arc-shaped position-providing groove 292.


When the U-shaped fixed rod 24 is in the folding process, referring to FIG. 12, the two supporting rods 22 can be rotated frontward first. When the pushing block 225 is rotated around the rivet 28 to correspond to a lower end of the arc-shaped position-providing groove 292, the pushing piece 29 is pushed to rotate together, referring to FIG. 14, so that the swinging tooth 244 is lifted by the protrusion 291 of the pushing piece 29 to be separated from the one or more position-limiting tooth grooves 224. Next, referring to FIG. 16, the two supporting rods 22 are rotated rearward, and the pushing block 225 is rotated around the rivet 28. Before the pushing block 225 is moved to correspond to an upper end of the arc-shaped position-providing groove 292, the one or more position-limiting tooth grooves 224 and the swinging tooth 244 are staggered from each other. Finally, the pushing block 225 is moved to the upper end of the arc-shaped position-providing groove 292 and drives the pushing piece 29 to rotate together, referring to in FIG. 18, until the two supporting rods 22 are folded on the U-shaped fixed rod 24. In the folding process, it can be understand that after the protrusion 291 of the pushing piece 29 is separated from the swinging tooth 244, since the one or more position-limiting tooth grooves 224 and the swinging tooth 244 have been misaligned with each other, the swinging tooth 244 can be driven by the torsion spring 245 to abut the inner hinge 223, which is still free to rotate for folding.


The aforementioned embodiments are merely some embodiments of the present disclosure, and the scope of the disclosure is not limited thereto. Thus, it is intended that the present disclosure cover any modifications and variations of the presently presented embodiments provided they are made without departing from the appended claims and the specification of the present disclosure.
