Sawhorse table with a quick lock-release mechanism

Abstract

A sawhorse table that includes a table top plate includes a pair of longitudinal sides and a top plate, two trestles legs that each of them include a top horizontal beam, and a quick lock-release mechanisms that enables a user to lock and release the table top plate onto and from the trestles legs. The quick lock-release mechanisms include four longitudinal profiles wherein each of them has a bottom slope, and four resilient locking tabs and each of them has an upper slope. The resilient locking tabs are assembled and connected to the top horizontal beams.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention refers to a sawhorse table that include a Quick Lock-Release mechanisms for a quick locking and releasing the table top plate from the trestles legs.

BACKGROUND ART

Standard sawhorse table comprises a table top plate and trestles legs, which are designed to be assembled together for use and disassembled after use. Another kind of sawhorse table comprises a table top plate that is fixed permanently to the legs, and this kind is not the issue of the present invention. The invention subject matter of the present patent application discloses a sawhorse table that includes Quick Lock-Release mechanisms for locking the table top plate onto the trestles legs and releasing the table top plate from the trestles legs in a quick and simple manner.

THE INVENTION

The main objective of the present invention is to provide a sawhorse table (1) that includes a table top plate (10), trestles legs (20), and a quick Lock-Release mechanisms (30) for locking the table top plate (10) onto the trestles legs (20) and releasing the table top plate (10) from the trestles legs (20) in a quick and simple manner.

The table top plate (10) includes a pair of longitudinal sides (11) and a top plate (12). The trestles legs (20) include a top horizontal beam (21). FIG. 1 depicts the sawhorse table (1). FIG. 2 depicts the sawhorse table (1) without the top plate (12).

In general, the sawhorse table (1), i.e. the table top plate (10) and the trestles legs (20), may be designed in the same manner as standard sawhorse tables, and the innovative aspect of the sawhorse table (1) subject matter of the present invention is the quick Lock-Release mechanisms (30). The trestles legs (20) may be designed in general as standard known trestles legs, for example, they may be collapsible.

The quick Lock-Release mechanisms (30) include four longitudinal profiles (31) that each of them has a bottom slope (311), and four resilient locking tabs (32) that each of them has an upper slope (321). FIG. 3 depicts the longitudinal profile (31). FIGS. 4A and 4B depict a top frame (13) of the table top plate (10) with the pair of longitudinal sides (11) that to their internal sides (111) the longitudinal profiles (31) are attached.

The resilient locking tabs (32) are assembled and connected to the top horizontal beams (21). The first and the second resilient locking tabs (32a) and (32b) are connected to the first beam (21a) and the third and fourth resilient locking tabs (32c) and 32(d) to the second beam (21b). The first tab (32a) near the first end of the first beam (211) and a second tab (32b) near the second end of the first beam (212) and the same in the second beam (21b), as depicted for example in FIGS. 5A and 5B which is an exploded illustration of the sawhorse table (1). Each resilient locking tab (32) is enclosed within a frame (322) with a spring (323) in a way that the spring pushes the tab (32) outwardly.

FIG. 6 is a cross sectional view of part of the sawhorse table (1) that depicts the longitudinal profile (31) with the bottom slope (311), the tope horizontal beam (21), the resilient locking tab (32) with the upper slope (321), the frame (322) and the spring (323). FIG. 6 depicts the situation when the user is going to put the table tope plate (10) on the trestles legs (20) and before the tabs (32) are locked and positioned onto the longitudinal profiles (31). When the plate (10) in putted down on the legs (20) the bottom slopes (311) of the profiles (31) press on the upper slopes (321) of the tabs (32) and push them inward as depicted in FIG. 7 for example.

FIG. 8 depicts the situation when the table top plate is locked onto the trestles legs (20). In this position, the user can lift all the table (1) including the legs (20) simply by holding and lifting the table top plate (10), this since the legs (20) are combined with the table top plate (10). Thus, the user can move the table (1) from one place to another easily even when placed on it food or other things. This is in opposite to the standard sawhorse tables that the user needs to move the top plate separately from the legs.

FIG. 9 illustrated the tope view of the table (1), without the top plate (12), when the table top plate (10) is locked on the legs (20). To release the table top plate (10) from the trestles legs (20) the user can rotate a bit the legs as depicted in FIG. 10 until the position as depicted in FIG. 11 in which the tabs (32) are no longer on the profiles (31) and then the user can simply lift the table top plate (10) from the trestles legs (20).

Claims
