Table frame and table

Abstract

A table frame for a table has a first column and a second column for supporting a table top, a cross member of hollow profile construction by which the first column and the second column are interconnected with each other and a first cantilever support mounted on the top end of the first column and a second cantilever support mounted on the top end of the second column. The first and the second column each have two projections at respective top ends thereof. The cross member, at each end section thereof, has a pair of oblong holes disposed on its lower side and through which the two projections of the respective column extend into the cross member. Each cantilever support has a first and a second flange which are arranged spaced-apart from one another, each of the flanges abutting the cross member on a lateral side portion thereof.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to table frames and tables for both private and commercial use.[0002]A table is a furniture with a table top forming a flat or essentially flat upper surface used to support objects, for storage, show, and / or manipulation. A common type of table is a desk, which is typically used to hold items that one would need to do work, such as papers, textbooks, or computers. The surface is usually supported from below by several vertical columns or “legs,” which may be adjusted to set the table top of the workstation at a desired height. The legs are usually interconnected at their upper ends by a crossbeam for reason of stability.[0003]The connection between the legs and the crossbeam or cross member is crucial for keeping the table top stable even under load. This is why the connection is usually of a rather complex construction and which may comprise many parts that have to be welded or screwed together. Further, as the tables ...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention is a table frame that is suitable for use in both private and commercial settings. The frame is made up of two columns that support a table top. The columns have cross members that connect them at their upper ends, creating a strong and stable connection. The frame also has cantilever supports that form connections to the columns, allowing for the table to be mounted on the columns without tilting over. The frame can be easily assembled and is cost-effective to manufacture and transport. Additionally, the frame has a tongue and recess mechanism that prevents disconnection between the columns and cross member, making assembly safer. The columns have screw-in threads for attachment, reducing the number of parts needed. The material thickness of the columns and projections can also be chosen more independently. Overall, the table frame is an improved design for stable and secure use in various settings.

Problems solved by technology

Thereby, a time-consuming and costly screw connection is unnecessary.
