Abstract
Description
L'invention concerne une table pliante perfectionnée, du type comprenant un plateau et un piètement articulé au plateau et repliable contre celui-ci. Ce type de table est largement utilisée pour l'extérieur (jardin, camping ...) ou comme table d'appoint. De la sorte, il n'est pas utile de la décrire ici en détail.The invention relates to an improved folding table, of the type comprising a tray and a base articulated to the tray and foldable against it. This type of table is widely used for outdoors (garden, camping ...) or as a side table. In this way, it is not useful to describe it here in detail.
Dans une première forme de réalisation la plus répandue, le plateau est réalisé en matière agglomérée fibres/résine, et le piètement tubulaire, fait appel à des compas pour pouvoir être déplié, puis maintenu en position ouverte. Cette solution présente toutefois des risques non négligeables de pincement lors du dépliage, qui reste en outre une opération complexe. En outre, ce type de table présente également des risques de repliage intempestifs si les compas sont mal verrouillés.In a first most common embodiment, the plate is made of fiber / resin agglomerated material, and the tubular base uses compasses to be able to be unfolded, then held in the open position. However, this solution presents significant risks of pinching during unfolding, which also remains a complex operation. In addition, this type of table also presents risks of inadvertent folding if the compasses are incorrectly locked.
On a proposé récemment de réaliser le plateau par moulage de matière plastique. Toutefois, le piètement à compas présente toujours les mêmes inconvénients que ci-dessus.It has recently been proposed to produce the plate by molding of plastic material. However, the compass base still has the same drawbacks as above.
Dans le document US-A-2 690 368, on a proposé une table dont le piètement est constitué de quatre pieds élémentaires disposés dans chaque coin. Ici, chaque pied est articulé et clipsable contre la face inférieure du plateau au moyen d'une lame de ressort coopérant avec un pied au voisinage de son point d'articulation contre le plateau. Cette solution, bien que fort ancienne, n'a jamais été commercialisée, sans doute par suite de l'instabilité et de l'insécurité du système de verrouillage en position ouverte.In document US-A-2 690 368, a table has been proposed, the base of which consists of four elementary legs arranged in each corner. Here, each leg is articulated and clipable against the underside of the plate by means of a spring leaf cooperating with a leg in the vicinity of its point of articulation against the plate. This solution, although very old, has never been marketed, probably due to the instability and insecurity of the locking system in the open position.
Dans le document US-A-2 875 972, on a proposé d'articuler le piètement en forme de U en ménageant la portion de raccordement de ce jambage en U en forme de manivelle, coopérant avec des lames de ressort coulissant le long de la face inférieure du plateau. Cette solution est encore mécaniquement difficile et coûteuse à réaliser et délicate à manoeuvrer.In document US-A-2 875 972, it has been proposed to articulate the U-shaped base by providing the connection portion of this U-shaped leg in the form of a crank, cooperating with spring blades sliding along the underside of the tray. This solution is still mechanically difficult and costly to carry out and difficult to maneuver.
Dans le document UK-A-1 162 884, la portion de raccordement des deux jambages du piètement épouse la forme d'un cavalier en U disposé dans le plan du jambage, qui coopére avec une lame de ressort libre en venant se positionner dans un logement prévu à cet effet dans la lame de ressort. Là encore, le piètement, qui est directement et fermement fixé au plateau et est bloqué en position par la lame de ressort, est mal verrouillé, donc souvent instable.In document UK-A-1 162 884, the connection portion of the two legs of the base takes the form of a U-shaped jumper arranged in the plane of the leg, which cooperates with a free spring leaf by positioning itself in a housing provided for this purpose in the leaf spring. Again, the base, which is directly and firmly fixed to the plate and is locked in position by the leaf spring, is poorly locked, therefore often unstable.
L'invention pallie ces inconvénients. Elle vise une table pliante du type en question qui soit économique à fabriquer, facile à déplier et à replier, même par des enfants, et qui ne présente pas les risques de pincement et d'instabilité évoqués ci-dessus.The invention overcomes these drawbacks. It is aimed at a folding table of the type in question which is economical to manufacture, easy to unfold and fold, even by children, and which does not present the risks of pinching and instability mentioned above.
L'invention vise également une table pliante du type en question qui puisse être entièrement fabriquée en matière plastique injectée par moulage, ce qui permet d'atteindre des coûts de fabrication attractifs et d'obtenir des produits faciles d'entretien.The invention also relates to a folding table of the type in question which can be entirely made of plastic material injected by molding, which makes it possible to achieve attractive manufacturing costs and to obtain products which are easy to maintain.
Cette table pliante, qui comprend un plateau et un piètement articulé repliable contre le plateau, dans lequel le piètement est constitué de deux jambages en forme de U, dont la portion horizontale de raccordement des deux branches est fixée et est articulée sur la face inférieure du plateau et présente au moins un cavalier en U disposé dans le plan du jambage, fixé à la portion de raccordement, et dans laquelle chaque piètement est clipsable en position ouverte sensiblement orthogonale au plan du plateau, et dans laquelle le moyen d'articulation et de clipsage qui est fixé sur la face inférieure du plateau, comprend une lame de ressort fixée sur la face inférieure du plateau, se caractérise en ce que le moyen d'articulation et de clipsage est fixé sur la face inférieure du plateau dans l'alignement du cavalier et comprend :
- la lame ressort déformable, dont l'autre extrémité est fixée à la portion de raccordement des deux branches du cavalier en U;

- the deformable leaf spring, the other end of which is fixed to the connection portion of the two arms of the U-shaped jumper;
- a yoke, also fixed to the underside of the plate and aligned with the blade, the section of which takes an oblong shape, in which slides between the two ends the connection portion of the U-shaped leg, section whose height is substantially greater than the diameter of this U-shaped connecting portion, the end of this oblong shape disposed closest to the spring leaf having a lug intended to block the connecting portion when the U-shaped leg is unfolded, while the opposite end is intended to receive this connection portion when the leg is folded against the plate, the top of the yoke further having a transverse slot arranged on a circular arc whose radius corresponds to the length of the leaf spring to allow, during deployment of the U-shaped jamb, the passage of the connection portion of the jumper attached to the end of the blade, when the connection portion t U-shaped jamb goes from one end to the other of the oblong lumen.
Avantageusement, en pratique :
- la lame de ressort déformable et la chape caractéristiques sont en matière plastique moulée;
- chaque jambage en U présente deux moyens d'articulation et de clipsage symétriques, coopérant chacun avec un cavalier disposé sur la portion de raccordement du jambage;

- . une première portion disposée au voisinage d'une des deux branches du cavalier et la plus éloignée de la lame;
- . une seconde portion la plus rapprochée de la lame formée de deux sections destinées à former l'extrémité présentant l'ergot, disposées de part et d'autre de la lame.
- the deformable leaf spring and the characteristic fork are made of molded plastic;
- each U-shaped leg has two symmetrical articulation and clipping means, each cooperating with a jumper disposed on the connecting portion of the leg;
- the deformable spring leaf is fixed to the plate by clipping into a reinforcement rib on the underside of the plate;
- the other end of the deformable leaf spring is clipped onto the connection portion of the U-shaped jumper;

La figure 8 est une représentation sommaire d'une forme d'exécution particulière du plateau.Figure 8 is a summary representation of a particular embodiment of the plate.
En se référant aux figures, la table selon l'invention comprend essentiellement un plateau (1), par exemple en plastique moulé, et deux piètements en U désignés par la référence (2) et (3), articulés et repliables (voir figure 2) contre le dessous ou la face inférieure du plateau (4). Chaque piètement (2,3) est formé d'un jambage en forme de U comprenant deux branches (5,6) et (7,8) terminées par des embouts (9,10) appropriés. Chaque paire de branches (5,6) est reliée par une portion horizontale de raccordement respectivement (11,12), fixée et articulée sur la face inférieure (4) du plateau (1), pour être clipsable en position ouverte sensiblement orthogonale au plan du plateau (1).Referring to the figures, the table according to the invention essentially comprises a tray (1), for example of molded plastic, and two U-shaped legs designated by the reference (2) and (3), articulated and foldable (see Figure 2 ) against the underside or underside of the plate (4). Each base (2,3) is formed by a U-shaped jamb comprising two branches (5,6) and (7,8) terminated by suitable end pieces (9,10). Each pair of branches (5,6) is connected by a horizontal connection portion respectively (11,12), fixed and articulated on the lower face (4) of the plate (1), to be clipped in the open position substantially orthogonal to the plane of the plate (1).
Les références (70) et (71) désignent des nervures de renforcement de face inférieure (4) du plateau.The references (70) and (71) designate reinforcing ribs on the lower face (4) of the plate.
Chaque jambage (2,3) formant piètement comprend, sur la portion de raccordement (11,12), deux cavaliers en U respectivement (15,16,17,18), représentés à la figure 2, disposés dans le plan de chaque jambage (2,3) et à l'intérieur du U, fixés à la portion de raccordement (11) ou (12) par les extrémités (20) des branches (21,22) liées entre elles par une autre portion de raccordement (23).Each leg (2,3) forming a base comprises, on the connection portion (11,12), two U-shaped jumpers respectively (15,16,17,18), shown in Figure 2, arranged in the plane of each leg (2,3) and inside the U, fixed to the connection portion (11) or (12) by the ends (20) of the branches (21,22) linked together by another connection portion (23 ).
Selon une caractéristique essentielle de l'invention, le moyen d'articulation et de clipsage, montré en détail aux figures 2 à 7, comprend une lame de ressort déformable (30) (cintrable) directement injectée, dont une extrémité (31) présente deux fourchettes souples (32,33) permettant de la fixer par clipsage dans des nervures (34,35) venues de moulage pour renforcer le plateau (1). De la sorte, la lame (30) disposée dans l'alignement du cavalier (15) est fermement fixée sur la face inférieure (4) du plateau (1). L'autre extrémité (36) de la lame (30) épouse la forme d'une gorge en U pour recevoir par clipsage la portion de raccordement (23) du cavalier (15) (voir figures 4 à 6). De la sorte, le cavalier en U (15-18) est fermement clipsé à l'extrémité (36) de la lame de ressort (30) qui peut se déformer en se cintrant.According to an essential characteristic of the invention, the means of articulation and clipping, shown in detail in Figures 2 to 7, comprises a deformable leaf spring (30) (bendable) directly injected, one end (31) of which has two flexible forks (32,33) allowing it to be fixed by clipping into ribs (34,35) coming from molding to reinforce the plate (1). In this way, the blade (30) arranged in alignment with the rider (15) is firmly fixed on the underside (4) of the plate (1). The other end (36) of the blade (30) follows the shape of a U-shaped groove to receive by clipping the connection portion (23) of the jumper (15) (see Figures 4 to 6). In this way, the U-shaped jumper (15-18) is firmly clipped to the end (36) of the spring leaf (30) which can deform by bending.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le moyen d'articulation et de clipsage comporte également une chape, désignée par la référence générale (40), située à la face inférieure (4) du plateau (1) et alignée avec la lame (30). Dans le plan transversal, cette chape épouse une forme oblongue, pour permettre le coulissement de la portion de raccordement (11) entre ces deux extrémités, respectivement (41) et (42). La hauteur H de cette section oblongue (40) est légèrement supérieure au diamètre D de la portion de raccordement (11) pour autoriser le coulissement. L'extrémité (41) de la forme oblongue (40) disposée le plus près de la lame de ressort (30), présente un ergot (43) venu de moulage, destiné à bloquer la portion de raccordement (11) lorsque le jambage en U (2) est déplié pour le maintenir dans cette position par blocage contre les parois respectivement (44) et (45). Dans la forme d'exécution pratique montrée à la figure 4, cette extrémité de clipsage (41) est formée de deux portions, respectivement (41) et (41'), disposées de part et d'autre de la lame (30), pour bien permettre le passage et le cintrage de celle-ci lors du dépliage.According to another characteristic of the invention, the articulation and clipping means also comprises a yoke, designated by the general reference (40), located at the lower face (4) of the plate (1) and aligned with the blade ( 30). In the transverse plane, this yoke follows an oblong shape, to allow the sliding of the connection portion (11) between these two ends, respectively (41) and (42). The height H of this oblong section (40) is slightly greater than the diameter D of the connection portion (11) to allow sliding. The end (41) of the oblong shape (40) disposed closest to the leaf spring (30), has a lug (43) molded, intended to block the connection portion (11) when the jamb in U (2) is unfolded to hold it in this position by locking against the walls respectively (44) and (45). In the practical embodiment shown in FIG. 4, this clipping end (41) is formed of two portions, respectively (41) and (41 '), arranged on either side of the blade (30), to allow the passage and the bending thereof during unfolding.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, la chape (40) présente sur le dessus une fente transversale (50) disposée sur un arc de cercle dont le rayon correspond à la longueur de la lame de ressort (30) montée en son point fixe (31), pour permettre le passage de la portion de raccordement (23) du cavalier (15) lors du déploiement du jambage.According to another characteristic of the invention, the yoke (40) has on the top a transverse slot (50) arranged on an arc of a circle whose radius corresponds to the length of the spring leaf (30) mounted at its fixed point (31), to allow the passage of the connection portion (23) of the jumper (15) during the deployment of the jamb.
Les deux lèvres en regard (51,52) de la fente (50) sont inclinées vers l'extérieur, par exemple de l'ordre de 15 degrés, pour faciliter le passage de (23) lors du dépliage (voir figure 7).The two facing lips (51, 52) of the slot (50) are inclined towards the outside, for example of the order of 15 degrees, to facilitate the passage of (23) during unfolding (see FIG. 7).
En position repliée (figure 6), la portion de raccordement (11) est repliée contre l'extrémité (42) où elle vient simplement se loger.In the folded position (Figure 6), the connection portion (11) is folded against the end (42) where it is simply housed.
Le plus généralement, lorsque les piètements sont repliés, la lame (30) est légèrement cintrée.Most generally, when the legs are folded, the blade (30) is slightly curved.
Dans une forme de réalisation pratique, le plateau (1) est formé de deux plateaux élémentaires (60,61) présentant chacun sur le côté des entailles (62,63) permettant d'une part, de les accoler par une face commune (64) en définissant ainsi une ouverture (65) apte à recevoir l'extrémité (66) d'un mât (67) de parasol.In a practical embodiment, the plate (1) is formed by two elementary plates (60,61) each having on the side of the notches (62,63) allowing on the one hand, to attach them by a common face (64 ) thus defining an opening (65) capable of receiving the end (66) of a parasol mast (67).
La table selon l'invention est facile à fabriquer, puisqu'elle peut l'être entièrement en matière plastique, facile à stocker et à manipuler, même par des enfants et ce sans risque de pincement.The table according to the invention is easy to manufacture, since it can be entirely made of plastic, easy to store and to handle, even by children and without the risk of pinching.
Elle peut donc être utilisée avec succès pour toutes les applications connues des tables pliantes.It can therefore be used successfully for all known applications of folding tables.
