RETRACTABLE TABLE FOR VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240246470 titled 'RETRACTABLE TABLE FOR VEHICLE
The abstract describes a patent application for a retractable table with a post link mechanism and a table plate mechanism. In the retracted state, the post link mechanism is folded into a bellows shape in a plan view, while the table plate mechanism follows suit in a front view. In the expanded state, the post link mechanism expands in the plan view, and the table plate mechanism horizontally expands following the post link mechanism.
- Post link mechanism folded into bellows shape in retracted state
- Table plate mechanism folded into bellows shape in retracted state
- Post link mechanism expands in plan view in expanded state
- Table plate mechanism horizontally expands in expanded state
- Innovative design allows for compact storage and easy expansion of the table
Potential Applications: - Space-saving furniture design for small living spaces - Portable tables for outdoor events or picnics - Adjustable tables for various uses such as dining, working, or crafting
Problems Solved: - Lack of space for large furniture in small living areas - Inconvenience of transporting and setting up bulky tables - Limited functionality of fixed-size tables for different activities
Benefits: - Versatile and adaptable table design - Easy to store and transport - Efficient use of space in compact environments
Commercial Applications: Title: Innovative Retractable Table Design for Modern Living Spaces This technology could be marketed to furniture manufacturers, interior designers, event planners, and outdoor equipment retailers. The compact and versatile nature of the retractable table makes it suitable for a wide range of commercial applications.
Questions about Retractable Table Design: 1. How does the post link mechanism contribute to the functionality of the table? The post link mechanism allows for the smooth expansion and retraction of the table, ensuring stability and ease of use. 2. What materials are typically used in the construction of retractable tables? Retractable tables are commonly made from durable materials such as metal, wood, or plastic to ensure longevity and stability.
Original Abstract Submitted
a retractable table has a post link mechanism and a table plate mechanism. in a retracted state of the table, the post link mechanism is folded into a bellows shape in a plan view. in the retracted state, the table plate mechanism is folded, following the post link mechanism, in a bellows shape in a front view. in an expanded state of the table, the post link mechanism in the bellows shape is expanded in the plan view. in the expanded state, the table plate mechanism is horizontally expanded, following the post link mechanism.
