Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a table mounting structure for freely mounting a table to an object to be mounted, such as a counter or a cupboard.

(Prior art and its problems) Conventionally, when a table was installed on a counter or cupboard, the table was generally installed and fixed so that it was approximately perpendicular to the counter, etc., which caused the table to get in the way in the kitchen. However, the drawback was that the kitchen space could not be used effectively.

For this reason, recently, as shown in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 58-212410, a counter has been devised in which a table is rotatably and slidably attached to a counter so that the table can be moved appropriately.

However, the one shown in JP-A No. 58-212410 has a guide rail on the counter, but
The table is attached to the counter by attaching a spindle member to the table plate and fitting this spindle member to the guide rail of the counter.Rotation relative to the counter is achieved using the spindle member attached to the table plate as a fulcrum. Since the table is only rotated as shown in FIG.
Further, the slide relative to the counter can only be slid laterally within the length of the guide rail, and the table cannot be moved over a wide range for use.

(Objective of the Invention) This invention was made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it is possible to easily rotate the table at an appropriate position relative to the counter, and also to rotate the table in the lateral and longitudinal directions. The purpose of the table is to allow the table to be moved over a wide range of positions relative to the counter.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The table mounting structure according to the present invention provides a guide groove on the mounting surface of an object to be mounted, such as a counter, on which the table is mounted, which is located at approximately the same height as the table plate. An engagement groove is provided in the facing part of the table plate facing the mounting surface, and a spherical coupling tool is interposed between the guide groove and this engagement groove, and the table can be freely moved relative to the object to be attached by this coupling tool. It must be installed.

(Function) A table mounted in this manner on an object to be mounted such as a counter can be rotated horizontally using the spherical connector as a fulcrum at any position in the engagement groove provided on the table plate. Also, when sliding the table laterally relative to the object to be attached, the table should be slid so that the guide groove provided on the mounting surface of the object to be attached and the engagement groove of the table plate are on the same line. In addition to the length of the guide groove, it is possible to slide in the lateral direction by approximately twice the length of the engagement groove, and furthermore, when the guide groove and the engagement groove are made to be approximately at right angles, This also makes it possible to slide the table back and forth relative to the object to which it is attached.

(Example) Next, an example of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings.

In this embodiment, a counter 1 is used as the object to be mounted.
The case where table 2 is attached to this counter 1 is shown, but the object to be attached is counter 1.
However, it is also possible to use a cupboard or the like.

Here, the counter 1 has a storage space 13 that stores the table board 20 at a position approximately at the same height as the table board 20 of the table 2 on the back side opposite to the front side where the drawers 10 and the open cabinet 11 are provided. is formed by opening the back and both sides of the counter 1, and the lower surface of this storage space 13 is connected to the table board 2.
It serves as a mounting surface 14 for attaching 0. and,
A guide groove 15 of a required length is recessed along the longitudinal direction of the counter 1 in the rear edge of the mounting surface 14 .

On the other hand, the table 2 is provided with a pair of table legs 21 that support the table board 20, and a shelf 22 is installed between these table legs 21, 21, and at the lower ends of these table legs 21, Casters 23 with stoppers are attached so that the table 2 can move freely and stand still at an appropriate position. In addition, in the table plate 20 of this table 2, the mounting surface 14 of the counter 1
An engagement groove 25 of a required length is recessed in the facing portion 24 of the lower surface of the table plate 20 that faces the table plate 20 . This engagement groove 25 and the guide groove 1 of the counter 1
A spherical connector 3 is fitted between the guide groove 15 and the engagement groove 25 at the location where the two match with each other, and the table 2 is attached to the counter 1 by the connector 3.

The table 2 attached to the counter 1 in this manner can be horizontally rotated in any direction using the connector 3 as a fulcrum at any position where the guide groove 15 and the engagement groove 25 match, and the table 2 can be If not, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, rotate the table 2 toward the counter 1 at an appropriate position and store the long side of the table board 20 in the storage space 13 of the counter 1. . Furthermore, when the table plate 20 is stored in the storage space 13 in this manner, the engagement groove 20 of the table plate 20 is arranged at a substantially right angle to the guide groove 15 of the counter 1, so the table 2 is The table 2 can be slid in the lateral direction of the counter 1 along the guide groove 15, and the table 2 can be slid in the longitudinal direction of the counter 1 along the engagement groove 25.

On the other hand, when using the table 2, the table 2 is rotated using the connector 3 as a fulcrum so that the long side of the table board 20 stored in the storage space 13 is pulled out as described above, and the table 2 is placed on the counter 1. It is used by sliding it to an appropriate position. Further, when the table 2 is made to be approximately perpendicular to the counter 1 in this way, the guide groove 15 and the engagement groove 25 are approximately on the same line as shown in FIG. In addition to the length, it can be slid laterally by a distance approximately twice the length of the engagement groove 25.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the engagement groove 25 of the table plate 20 is disengaged from the connector 3, the table 2 is removed from the counter 1, and the table 2 and counter 1 are separated. It can also be used separately.

(Effects of the Invention) As described in detail above, the table mounting structure according to the present invention is provided between the guide groove provided on the mounting surface of the object to be mounted such as a counter and the engagement groove provided on the facing part of the table plate. A spherical connector is interposed between the table and the table, and the table is attached to an object such as a counter using the connector. Therefore, the table can be rotated horizontally using the connector as a fulcrum at any position where the guide groove of the counter and the engagement groove of the table plate overlap, and the guide groove and the engagement groove are on the same line. By sliding the table in the direction of these grooves in this way, it will be able to slide horizontally with respect to the object to be attached by a length approximately twice the length of the engagement groove in addition to the length of the guide groove, and If you slide the table in the direction of the engagement groove so that the guide groove and the engagement groove are at right angles, it will also slide forward and backward relative to the object to be attached.
It becomes possible to move the table over a very wide range relative to the object to which it is attached, and
The table can be easily moved, and the table does not get in the way and narrow the space.

Furthermore, if a storage space is provided in the object to be mounted such as a counter, and the table is installed in this storage space, the table board can be stored in this storage space when the table is not in use. This allows the table to be used without getting in the way.
