Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Purpose of the invention] "Industrial field of application" This invention relates to a table for an automobile that is installed inside an automobile.

``Prior Art'' For example, a passenger car commonly known as a one-box vehicle may have a table installed on the floor between the front and rear seats. This table is used as a table for eating and drinking or as an office desk, and its necessity is particularly high when it is used for leisure purposes. Conventionally,
A table installed for this purpose is made by drilling holes in the metal floor panel between the front and rear seats of a car, placing a back plate in contact with the back of the floor plate, and fixing the back plate and floor panel with bolts. The base of the table is fixed using internal screws provided on the back plate. Alternatively, a method of simply embedding blind nuts in the floorboard may be used.

``Problems that the invention attempts to solve'' With this method of mounting the table, (1) it is necessary to drill holes in the floorboard, and drilling holes in the floorboard in this way may damage equipment placed under the floorboard. In general, it is often difficult for a user to attach a table because it is necessary to make sure that there is no damage to the table, and it is also necessary to remove equipment under the floorboard in order to attach the back plate.

(2) This installation method requires drilling holes in the floorboard and cutting the floor carpet, which may damage the floorboard and floor carpet, so this installation method is not recommended for users who value their cars, especially new car users. There are times when there is great psychological resistance and people do not install a table even though they strongly feel the need.

(3) Conventional tables for automobiles are fixed, and even the most functional automobile has the problem of being a fixed table, for example, the a position is not appropriate. b Setting up a table makes it inconvenient to get on and off.
c Objects on the table fall while driving. In this regard, although the ride comfort of recent cars has been improved to the extent that it will not deteriorate on normal roads as long as you pay attention to the acceleration at curves, it is still possible to ride on a table when passing some bad spots on a good road. Something falls down. d It is not possible to decompose a table into appropriate parts. e It takes time to install. There are other problems.

In view of the problems of the prior art described above, the first object of this invention is to provide a table for an automobile that can be installed without any modification to the automobile. Other purposes of this invention are to be able to take a suitable table position, to be able to disassemble the table into appropriate sizes, and to have a table that can take various postures, etc. Solved in an aspect.
