Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a folding table suitable for use in outdoor activities.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Conventionally, various types of folding tables have been in widespread use. For transportation, they are folded to make them compact, and when used, they are opened to secure a large area of the top board.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, since these conventional folding tables are often used for outdoor activities such as vehicles such as automobiles that are ordinary or small passenger cars, they are manufactured on the assumption that they will be as compact as possible when folded. Therefore, even if it is opened for use, the size of the top plate is limited to a square with a side of about 80 cm, assuming that it will be used by four people. Met.

Further, since the table is small, it is possible to cook on the table but not to perform the heating operation at the same time. Therefore, the cooking is performed on the table first, and then the heating is performed separately. The usual procedure was to do it on a stove with legs prepared at the location, and when heating was over, return to the table again and have a meal.

[0005] This situation has continued for a long time, simply because it is difficult to transport a large table, and at the same time, there is a stereotype that eating in outdoor activities usually involves various inconveniences. Because of its existence, when the so-called auto camp, which uses cars that have undergone special refurbishment as it is today, began to become widespread, it became apparent that conventional folding tables were truly inconvenient.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 First, set the size of the folding table to a size that can withstand a series of operations such as cooking, heating, and eating, and divide it into two parts that can be opened and closed by a hinge device. In this case, the dimensions of the top plate in the open state are, for example, about 60 cm in length and 170 cm in width. This is divided into two top plates measuring 60 cm in length and 85 cm in width, and an edge of about 7 cm is circulated around each point plate, and the edges of both 60 cm sides can be freely opened and closed by a hinge device. To wear.

Naturally, an edge portion is provided around the top plate to increase the strength of the top plate, and a space is formed inside when the two top plates are closed by the hinge device. Leave it. When these two top plates are closed and the table is folded, a scoop with a length of 60 cm, a width of 85 cm and a thickness of 14 cm is obtained.

The supporting legs for supporting these tops are screwed and fixed to the four corners of the lower surface of the top in an open state by a general method. The length of the supporting leg is about 70 cm, and four of the same length are used.

One of the two top plates is a cooking top plate and the other is a heating top plate. The cooking top plate is composed of an ordinary flat plate, and the heating top plate has an opening. The opening of the heating top plate is closed by a detachable lid when not in use, and when the lid is attached, the entire heating top plate can be used like the cooking top plate.

Currently, a large outdoor portable gas stove that is widely used is generally equipped with a two-port gas burner. The naked gas cylinder of the book is used in a suspended state, and simple legs are installed at the four corners of the stove to suspend the gas cylinder in the air.

This simple foot has a detachable structure so that the stove base can be easily housed, and is detached during transportation and is put on during use. There is also a form in which the bottom of the cylinder is used to point to the stove without installing feet.

In order to use such a stove stand in the most stable form, it is necessary to place the stove stand on an appropriate flat surface and directly support the stove stand on the outer periphery of the bottom surface having a large area. desirable. However, as described above, since the foot or the gas bomb is projected on the bottom surface of the stove, this direct mounting cannot be achieved.

In the present invention, as described above, the heating point plate is provided with an opening, and the upper surface of the heating point plate supports the vicinity of the outer periphery of the bottom of the stove allowance, and the gas cylinder attached to the stove base is opened from the opening. Suspend the stove top on the heating point plate in the most stable state by hanging it downward.

Further, when the top plate is folded, the necessary equipment or members are housed in the space formed by the two top plates and the edge portion, and in order to fix them, a surface fastener is provided on the back surface of the top plate. -Install a fixing device such as tape or belt. The equipment or members to be housed here may be a stove top, gas cylinders, table legs, cooking tools, etc.

In addition, a suitable buckle device is attached to the opposite edges of the two top plates connected by the hinge device, and the two top plates are fixed to each other by being joined together, and at the same time, the edge parts are appropriately attached. Attach a handle for transportation at the location.

When two tables are opened and legs are screwed and fixed to the four corners of the bottom surface of the table and various articles are placed on the table, the load on the table is four legs. However, it is predicted that a large load will also be applied to the hinged edges by the hinge devices on the two top plates.

Since the area of the conventional table is small even when opened, the articles to be placed are limited, and the load on the table is not a problem. This load problem needs to be solved as it is premised on daily use.

In order to effectively support the load near the center of the top of the table, it is sufficient to add one support leg near the center. However, the more legs of the table and other furniture, the more flat the table. In this invention, the top plates on both sides of the hinge device are strengthened by fixing them to each other by separate means, and the two are connected by the hinge device. We decided to make the connection condition of the two top plates stronger.

As a method of strengthening, a method of installing a Kanuki that penetrates the edge portion where the hinge device is installed, a method of attaching a metal fitting that integrally holds the edge portions of the two top plates, and the like can be arbitrarily selected. ..
