Table with swingable bow foot

Abstract

The invention relates to a table comprising a table top and at least one bow foot which is swingable between a transportation position in which it is swung in so as to rest against a surface of the table top, and a swung out utilization position, said bow foot having a base limb and at least one table leg, the bow foot experiencing an offset between its transportation position and its utilization position axially to its base limb, which offset is controlled by a control tenon guided in a control track, wherein the control track is formed on the circumference of the base limb and the control tenon is firmly attached to the table top.

1 . A table comprising a table top ( 12 ) and at least one bow foot ( 14 A,  14 B) which is swingable between a transportation position in which it is swung in so as to rest against a surface of the table top ( 12 ), and a swung out utilization position, said bow foot having a base limb ( 143 A,  143 B) and at least one table leg ( 141 A,  141 B,  142 A,  142 B), the bow foot ( 14 A,  14 B) experiencing an offset between its transportation position and its utilization position axially to its base limb ( 143 A,  143 B), which offset is controlled by a control tenon ( 36 ) guided in a control track ( 34 ), wherein the control track ( 34 ) is formed on the circumference of the base limb ( 143 A,  143 B) and the control tenon ( 36 ) is firmly attached to the table top. 
     
     
         2 . A table according to  claim 1 , wherein the control track ( 34 ) is formed in a control shell ( 30 ), which is fixed to the base limb ( 143 A,  143 B). 
     
     
         3 . A table according to  claim 2 , wherein the control track ( 34 ) abuts concentrically on the base limb ( 143 A,  143 B). 
     
     
         4 . A table according to  claim 3 , wherein the control shell ( 30 ) comprises a fastening tenon ( 38 ), which reaches through the base limb ( 143 A,  143 B). 
     
     
         5 . A table according to  claim 3 , wherein the control shell ( 30 ) comprises at least two bar elements ( 42 A,  42 B), which are aligned radially relative to the axis of the base limb ( 143 A,  143 B), which cooperate with a locking device ( 46 ), and of which one defines the transportation position and the other the utilization position of the bow foot ( 14 A,  14 B). 
     
     
         6 . A table according to  claim 4 , wherein the fastening tenon ( 38 ) forms one of the bar elements ( 42 B) at its free end side. 
     
     
         7 . A table according to  claim 5 , wherein the locking device ( 46 ) is formed by a swingable bar arm which comprises in the end section facing away from the swing axis a recess ( 52 ) for one of the bar elements ( 42 A,  42 B) to engage with. 
     
     
         8 . A table according to  claim 7 , wherein the swingable bar arm is of a plate-like design. 
     
     
         9 . A table according to  claim 7 , wherein the bar arm ( 46 ) is pre-tensioned by means of a spring device in the blocking direction. 
     
     
         10 . A table according to  claim 9 , wherein the spring device ( 56 ) is formed by an elastomer body, which acts on a tongue ( 54 ) of the bar arm ( 46 ). 
     
     
         11 . A table according to  claim 9 , wherein the pre-tension of the spring device ( 56 ) is adjustable. 
     
     
         12 . A table according to  claim 7 , comprising an actuation element ( 62 ) for the locking device ( 46 ). 
     
     
         13 . A table according to  claim 12 , wherein the actuation element ( 62 ) is an actuation lever with a handle ( 64 ). 
     
     
         14 . A table according to  claim 13 , wherein the actuation lever ( 62 ) is provided in the area of its swing axis with a cam element ( 70 ) by means of which the locking device ( 46 ) is adjustable between a release position and a blocking position. 
     
     
         15 . A table according to  claim 5 , wherein the locking device ( 46 ) is swingably mounted in a housing ( 18 ), which is firmly attached to the table top. 
     
     
         16 . A table according to  claim 14 , wherein, in the blocking position of the locking device ( 46 ), one of the bar elements ( 42 A,  42 B) engages in a locking manner with the recess ( 52 ) for locking the bow foot ( 14 A,  14 B), while in the release position of the locking device ( 46 ), the bar elements ( 42 A,  42 B) are disengaged from the recess ( 52 ) for releasing the bow foot ( 14 A,  14 B). 
     
     
         17 . A table according to  claim 4 , wherein the fastening tenon ( 38 ) fixes the control shell ( 30 ) in a rotationally fixed manner to the base limb ( 143 A,  143 B) and furthermore defines a position of the bow foot ( 14 A,  14 B).
