Definitions

  • This invention relates to a folding table assembly which is adapted to be mounted on a wall.
  • a desk In small houses or hotels the interior space is built to be very limited. Except for the necessary furniture such as beds and wash basins, the remainder is designed to have minimum space requirements.
  • the traditional writing table, desk, or dresser would occupy space as large as a small closet.
  • a desk In limited space interior room space, a desk may be considered necessary to increase an owner's convenience but it may also be treated as space-taking furniture and most families would prefer a dining table instead.
  • the present invention aims to provide a folding table which can be hung onto a wall without taking hardly any space in a folded position and which can be opened to form a table surface to be used as a writing table or dresser.
  • a folding table assembly adapted to be monitored on a wall and including:
  • the folding table according to the invention may further include a snapped-on unit for securing the table plate to the hanger body when the table plate is closed onto the hanger body.
  • the hanger body has a plurality of separated cabinets in the box.
  • the cabinets can accommodate documents, stationery or books.
  • the hanger body may have a mirror on the fixed unit.
  • the fixed unit could then be used to contain jewelry and cosmetics to fulfil the function of a dresser.
  • the hanger body includes an illumination set.
  • the illumination unit is desirably located at the upper part of the hanger body.
  • the folding table assembly according to the invention preferably further comprises a switch unit for supplying electric power automatically to the illumination unit when the table plate is opened from the hanger body and, when the table plate is closed back to the hanger body, for cutting off the electric power supply.
  • a battery may be connected to the illumination unit.
  • the illumination unit has a lampshade at least part of which has good transparency.
  • the hanger body has a lower part and said table plate has a lower edge; said lower edge of the table plate being arranged to contact the lower part of the hanger body when the table plate is opened.
  • holes are provided through which screws or pins can be passed.
  • the hanger body to have connected a side plate that connected to the outside of the fixed unit. There would be an inner deep space to be formed by the side plate and the fixed unit that form a shallow box hollow inside such as a flat rectangular box-shaped structure.
  • the hanger body inner has space to have several separated cabinets to contain documents, stationery or books etc.
  • the folding table assembly according to the invention may include a snapped-on unit, which could be snapped on the table plate and the hanger body.
  • This application of the invention to the interior of architectures would be much more space saving than the traditional type of writing table or desk, it would be open or closed according to the user's request. When it is closed, it could almost become part of the wall.
  • the manufacturing cost of a folding table assembly according to the invention would be much more less then the traditional type of writing table or desk and it is easier to produce and move.
  • a folding table assembly comprises a hanger body 10 that has a fixed unit 11 and a table plate 20.
  • the table plate 20 has a joint unit 30 to connect the table plate 20 to a fixed unit 11 of the hanger body 10 in a pivotal manner.
  • the joint unit 30, as shown in Figs. 1 to 6, is pivoted at each side of the table plate 20 and the hanger body 10 or, as shown in Figs. 7 and 8, is under the table plate 20 and the hanger body 10 which would make the table plate 20 foldable.
  • the table plate 20 can be pivoted with respect to the fixed unit 11 as indicated by the curved arrows in Figs. 3 and 8.
  • There is a support unit 40 such as an elbow connector as shown in Figs.
  • the support unit 40 could support the table plate 20 which maintains the table plate 20 in a level position as shown in Figs. 6 and 8.
  • the table plate 20 When the fixed unit 11 is fixed on a wall 50 as shown in Figs. 2 and 5, the table plate 20 would become selectively part of the hanger body 10 and serve as a door or a writing table, dresser or a table or cupboard etc. When the table plate 20 is in the closed position, it is a door in a sense but when it is opened downward it becomes a writing table etc.
  • the fixed unit 11 has preset holes 12 through which screws or pins can be passed in order to aid installation.
  • a snapped-on unit 70 which is pivoted on the hanger body 10 and enables the table plate 20 to be snapped onto the hanger body 10.
  • the snapped-on unit 70 can be varied as described.
  • One kind of spring snapped-on type could be considered as first priority and it must be set up along with the table plate's handle (not shown).
  • a finger is depressed to make the snapped piece and the wall 10 to separate while the table plate 20 is to be closed, the table plate 20 is pushed to close the table plate onto the wall 10. No matter the application, it is possible to open and close the table plate 20 by the snapped-on unit 70 easily.
  • Fig. 6 is a detailed view of the preferred embodiment for the support unit 40.
  • the table plate 20 by means of the joint unit 30 can be opened and let down as shown by the dotted line. After the table plate 20 has been lowered, the lower inside-edge 21 would make contact with the lower part 15 of the hanger body 10. The table plate 20 is thus formed as a free beam which is supported by the lower part 15 of the hanger body 10.
  • the fixed unit 11 of the hanger body 10 is surrounded by side plates 13.
  • an illumination unit 80 At the top of the side space for the hanger body 10 is installed an illumination unit 80.
  • the side plates 13 and the fixed unit 11 could be constructed together with an inner deep space to form a flat rectangular box-shaped structure.
  • the hanger body 10 inner deep space has several separated cabinets 60 such as hanging plates and /or bags in which to put documents, stationary, or books etc.
  • the illumination unit 80 has a light shield and part of the light shade should be designed to have good transparency. The light shade can be designed to be varied for different function requirements.
  • the light shield comprising an upper part 82, a front side 83 and a lower part 84 has its transparent light shade inside which is a light unit 85, which is preferably a furolence light or energy saving bulb etc.
  • a light unit 85 which is preferably a furolence light or energy saving bulb etc.
  • the embodiment of this invention is applied to a desk or writing table, it emphasises up/down lightning, so the light upper part 82 and the front side 83 could use thicker acrylic plate to shadow the light, and the lower part 84 of the light shield must use partially or fully transparent or translucent plate for brightness.
  • the upper part of the fixed unit 11 should have a mirror 14, as shown in Fig. 8.
  • the light supply would emphasise the front light to light up a user's face, so the shade transparency would change position, the upper part 82 and the lower part 84 using the thicker acrylic plate to shadow the light while the shade and the front side 83 use the partially or fully transparent or translucent plate to give better lighting.
  • an on/off switch unit 86 such as a limiter switch, push button switch, or infrared remote reflex switch can be provided which is arranged to switch off the power supply when the table plate 20 is closed up to the hanger body 10.
  • a series manual on/off switch 86 may be provided to control power supply.
