DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a folding small table that also serves as a chair, that is, a folding small table that can be used as a chair.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Chairs and tables greatly improve the comfort of meals at campsites, but it is important to reduce the size of luggage for touring and walking using motorcycles. It is common to not bring chairs or tables. It is common to use a large stone, a stump of a standing tree, a piece of board or the like instead of a chair or a table. Even if there are small chairs and tables, it is difficult to carry both.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a folding table which also serves as a chair which is easy to carry, that is, a small table which also serves as a folding chair.

[0004]

According to the present invention, there is provided a folding small table which also serves as a folding chair, comprising: a pair of substantially U-shaped frames connected to each other so as to be openable and closable in a substantially X-shape when viewed from the side; A sheet material stretched between upper edges of the frame, and a top plate portion detachably bridged between the upper edges of the frame from above the sheet material.

[0005]

FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view of a folding chair and small table according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG.
FIG. 3 is a schematic bottom view showing a state in which only one joint member is attached to a top plate portion of the folding chair and small table according to the embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is also a folding chair and dual chair according to the embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 4 is a schematic side view showing a procedure for assembling the small table; FIG. 4 is a schematic side view showing a folded state of the folding chair and small table according to the embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 5 is a schematic perspective view of a top plate part of a folding chair and small table according to another embodiment of the present invention.

[0006] The folding chair and small table according to the embodiment of the present invention comprises a pair of substantially U-shaped frames 110.
A leg portion 100 which is connected to be openable and closable in a substantially X-shape in side view;
A sheet material 200 stretched between the upper edges 111 of the pair of frames 110, and a top plate portion 300 detachably mounted between the upper edges 111 of the frames 110 from above the sheet material 200. And

First, the leg portion 100 can open and close a pair of frames 110 formed by bending a pipe made of a light alloy such as duralumin or aluminum into a substantially U-shape with an open lower side in a substantially X-shape when viewed from the side. And a cap-shaped butt 112 made of synthetic resin or the like at a portion that contacts the ground.
Is fitted. For example, the frame 110 constituting the leg 100 has a height of 350 mm and a width of 280 m.
m. The upper edge 111 of the frame 110 has a round cross section.

The frame 110 is connected to another frame 110 by a pin 113 at an intermediate portion or slightly below the intermediate portion so as to be openable and closable.

The upper edges 111 of the pair of frames 110
Between them, a thick sheet material 200 such as a cotton cloth is stretched. That is, at the end of the sheet material 200, the frame 1
The sheet material 200 is attached to the leg 100 by wrapping around the upper edge 110 of the 10 and sewing the sheet material 200.

As described above, the leg 100 to which the sheet member 200 is attached can be used as a chair.

On the other hand, the top plate section 300 has two plate members 310.
Are foldably connected by two hinges 320. Further, the top plate 300 has a pair of joint members 330 for connecting the top plate 300 and the legs 100. The joint member 330 is connected to the seat plate 3.
31 and an angle portion 332 formed substantially integrally with the seat plate portion 331 and having a substantially C-shape in side view.

The seat plate 331 has a through hole 333 through which a bolt 350 passes. The angle portion 332 is set to a size that allows the upper edge portion 111 of the frame 110 to be press-fitted.

The joint member 330 is connected to the top plate 30.
Since the nut 360 is detachably attached to the back surface of the top plate 300, the nut 360 embedded in the back surface of the top plate 300
And a bolt 350 adapted thereto. That is, on the back side of the top plate 300, the top plate 3
The nut 360 is embedded so as not to hinder the folding of the 00. Note that the space between the pair of joint members 330 is set so that the upper edge 111 of the leg 100 is slightly narrower than the most widened state.

The joint member 330 is attached to the top plate 300 along a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the top plate 300 is folded. Moreover, the joint member 3302 can be attached across the connecting portion of the two plate members 320. Therefore, when the joint member 330 is attached to the top plate 300, the top plate 300 cannot be folded.

The bolt 350 is suitable because a so-called butterfly bolt as shown in FIG. 1 does not require a tool. As shown in FIG. 4, the top plate 300 is set to a size that can be inserted between the frames 110 of the legs 100 in a folded state.

Next, the operation of the folding chair / compact table constituted by such members will be described.
First, when the legs 100 are expanded and the user sits down on the sheet material 200, the seat 100 can be used as a chair. In this case, it is possible to place a cup or the like on the sheet material 200 and use it as a table, but it is not desirable because the frame 110 constituting the leg portion 100 may be closed depending on the weight of the placed material. In addition, the top plate 300 can be used as a storage table, a place, etc. in an expanded state. In addition, at the time of bedtime or the like, both the top plate portion 300 and the portion serving as a chair can be used as a storage table.

A top plate 300 is attached to the legs 100 in the expanded state.
Can be used as a small table. That is, a pair of joint members 330 is attached to the expanded top plate 300 such that the open sides of the angle portions 332 face each other, and the upper edge 111 of the frame 110 is attached to the angle portions 332 of the joint members 330 as shown in FIG. Fit it. That is, the joint member 3
The upper edge 11 of the frame 100 is attached to the 30 angle portions 332.
When the frame 110 is expanded in the direction of arrow A in a state where 1 is applied, the upper edge portion 111 is pressed into the angle portion 332.

With this configuration, if a downward force is applied to the top plate 300, the force in the direction in which the leg portion 100 expands is applied, so that the top plate portion 300 is less likely to come off from the leg portion 100. is there.

At the time of folding, as shown in FIG. 4, it is possible to reduce the size by inserting the folded top plate 300 between the frames 110 of the legs 100.

In the above-described embodiment, the bolt 350 and the nut 360 are used to attach the joint member 330 to the back surface of the expanded top plate 300. However, as shown in FIG. A dovetail groove 370 may be formed on the back side of the part 300, and the joint member 330 may be fitted into the groove 370. In this case, since there is no need to use separate parts of the bolt 350 and the nut 360, the problem of loss does not occur.

[0021]

According to the present invention, there is provided a folding table which also serves as a folding chair, comprising a pair of substantially U-shaped frames which are connected to be openable and closable in a substantially X-shape when viewed from the side, and upper edges of the pair of frames. And a top plate detachably mounted between the sheet material and the upper edge of the frame.

For this reason, the chair can be used as a chair if it is used with the legs expanded, and it can be used as a table if it is attached to the legs with the top plate expanded, so that the chair can be used as a table. . Therefore, it is possible to provide a folding chair and a small table which is most suitable for touring or the like where it is desired to reduce luggage even a little.

If the top plate is foldable, it can be made more compact and easy to carry.
