DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

The present invention will be further described below in combination with the figures and the embodiments.


As illustrated in FIG. 1, a movable worktable according to one particular embodiment of the present invention comprises wheels 2 and a support 3 provided on the wheels 2, and a worktable top 1 provided on the support 3. A closed storage space 4 is provided below the table top 1 (also refer to FIG. 6), an open storage space 7 is further provided between the support 3 and the table top 1, and the open storage space 7 is provided with a bottom plate 8. In this embodiment, two drawers 5 are further provided between the open storage space 7 and the closed storage space 4. In other embodiments, only one drawer or no drawer may be provided.


As illustrated in FIG. 2, in this embodiment, the total height h1 of the movable worktable is smaller than or equal to 48 inches, the height h2 of the open storage space is greater than or equal to 10 inches, such an arrangement can allow the open storage space to store some larger objects, and the total height of the movable worktable 100 allows the worktable to be placed under most of commercially available tables and platforms 200, as illustrated in FIG. 4, thereby facilitating storage and saving space.


As illustrated in FIG. 3, in this embodiment, the wheels are at least two mecanum wheels 21 at the same side, the wheels on the other side may be two common wheels 22 and the wheels 20 are fixed to the support through bolts.


In addition, as illustrated in FIG. 1 and FIG. 5, the side of the movable worktable may be provided with a hanging plate with meshes 9 or storage grooves 91 for hanging tools.


As illustrated in FIG. 6 and FIG. 9, one side of the table top 1 is provided with a hinging member such that the table top 1 may be opened and turned over around the hinging device, and folded and hung down from one side of the worktable, as illustrated in FIG. 7, so as to expose the closed storage space 4. In this way, on one hand, taking and storing tools from and in the closed storage space are facilitated; and on the other hand, as compared with drawers, by using the height of transverse bars 31 for the support, the closed storage space 4 is enabled to be larger. FIG. 8, FIG. 9 and FIG. 11 illustrate a hinging member used in this embodiment, a pin shaft hole is provided in a side of an end of the table top 1, an L-shaped plate 13 is welded onto the support 3, an L-shaped plug pin 11 is inserted through an insertion hole in the L-shaped plate 13, a spring 12 is disposed over a pin shaft, one end of the spring 12 is in contact with the support 3, and the other end is in contact with the L-shaped plate 13, thereby achieving a quick-detach function.


As illustrated in FIGS. 10 and 11, in another embodiment, sliding grooves 32 are provided in the support 3, sliding groove 32 is provided with a hinging member and the table top 1 may be slid along the sliding grooves 32 and opened and turned over to a state as illustrated in FIG. 7.


In addition, as illustrated in FIG. 1, the edge of the table top 1 is further provided with a raised edge 10 to prevent objects from falling from the worktable. The drawer 5 is further provided with broached grooves to facilitate the opening of the drawer.
