Foldable Container and Foldable Supporting Frame Thereof, and Folding Method
20230133686 · 2023-05-04 ·

A foldable container includes a foldable supporting frame, at least one operation switch arranged on the foldable supporting frame, and a container body supported on the foldable supporting frame. The operation switch is actuated through a pulling operation to move the foldable supporting frame between an unfolded mode and a folded mode. The container has an edge and an opening formed within the edge. At the unfolded mode, the opening is opened. At the folded mode, the opening is closed. The container body is automatically folded as the foldable supporting frame is moved from the unfolded mode to the folded mode. Via a folding method, the foldable supporting frame is folded to reduce an overall size for occupying less storage space when it is not in use.

Frame with minimized thickness when folded

A foldable frame includes first and second mounting assemblies pivotally coupled with each other at their proximal sides. The foldable frame also includes first, second and third leg assemblies, each having an upper member coupled with one or more of the first and second mounting assemblies and a base member abutting a ground when in use. The upper members of the first, second and third leg assemblies are substantially parallel to each other, with a distance between the upper members of the first and third leg assemblies different than a distance between the upper members of the second and third leg assemblies. As a result, when folded, the base members of the first, second and third leg assemblies are disposed side by side along a longitudinal direction of the foldable frame.

A foldable banquet table and bench set includes a panel unit, a support unit, and an attachment frame. The panel unit includes a tabletop and at least a bench top. The support unit includes a table leg frame foldably coupled at the tabletop to form a foldable table, and a bench leg frame foldably coupled at the bench top to form a foldable bench, wherein the table leg frame is longer than the bench leg frame. The table leg frame and the bench leg frame are detachably and spacedly coupled at the attachment frame, such that the attachment frame not only retains a distance between the foldable table and the foldable bench but also interlocks the foldable table and the foldable bench at their unfolded positions by different leg heights.

EASY FOLD LOCKING MECHANISMS
20220053924 · 2022-02-24 · ·

The present disclosure relates to a support system for a gaming table including a first support bar of a gaming-table support, a second support bar of a gaming-table support, a third support bar of a gaming-table support, and a gaming-table support locking apparatus. The third support bar has an arcuate shape and is in a pivotable connection with the second support bar. The gaming-table support locking apparatus includes a first locking bar and a second locking bar. The second locking bar is configured to be in one of two states of being: a first state that allows the third support bar to rotate with respect to the second support bar; and a second state that prevents the third support bar to rotate with respect to the second support bar.

FOLDING TABLE WITH INCREASED SEATING SPACE
20220053923 · 2022-02-24 ·

Methods for producing a folding table with increased seating space are provided. A method may include affixing a plurality of legs to an underside of a tabletop, and configuring the legs to be movable, bi-directionally, between an unfolded position and a folded position via multiple folding mechanisms. Installing each of the folding mechanisms may include affixing a central support bar to the underside of the tabletop via a hinged bracket, and securing a central portion of a transverse support bar assembly against the central support bar such that the central portion is configured to slide along the central support bar. A method may also include attaching one end of a first side support bar to the central portion, and another end to one of the legs, and attaching one end a second side support bar to the central portion, and another end to another one of the legs.

FOLDABLE LEG FRAME ARRANGEMENT OF FOLDABLE TABLE
20170290414 · 2017-10-12 ·

A foldable leg frame arrangement of a foldable table includes two runners extended along two longitudinal sides of a tabletop, a leg frame including a leg folding member, and a reinforcement unit. Each runner has a fastening hole formed at an inner side thereof. The leg folding member has two end portions rotatably inserted into the fastening holes of the runners respectively. The reinforcement unit includes two reinforcing shafts transversely extended from the runners respectively, wherein when the end portions of said leg folding member are rotatably inserted into the fastening holes of the runners respectively, the reinforcing shafts are inserted into the end portions of the leg folding member respectively. Therefor, the reinforcement unit not only forms a double lock configuration to securely mount the leg frame between the runners but also guides the leg frame to be rotated between a folded position and an unfolded position.

FOLDABLE TABLE
20170238696 · 2017-08-24 ·

Disclosed herein are foldable tables and methods for using the same. The foldable table can include at least one support member having a first and a second elongate support segments. The first support segment can be attachable to a platform. The second support segment can be slidably coupled to the first support segment along an elongate direction. The support member can be extendable between a contracted configuration and an extended configuration. In one example, at least one adjustable leg can be coupled to the support member and can be movable between a storage position and a support position. In one example, the foldable table includes a plurality of hingedly coupled tabletop panels. The first and second tabletop panels can be movable between a folded configuration and a deployed configuration.

BLOW-MOLDED PLASTIC STRUCTURES

A large, thin, generally planar panel constructed from blow-molded plastic may include a first surface, a second surface, and a hollow interior portion disposed between the first and second surfaces. The panel may include a nominal panel thickness (PT), which may be the distance between the first surface and the second surface, and a nominal wall thickness (WT), which may be the thickness of the outer wall of the blow-molded plastic structure. A plurality of depressions may be integrally formed in the second surface and a nominal distance (D) separating adjacent depressions may be measured from an edge of one depression to an edge of the adjacent depression. The relationship between the nominal panel thickness, the nominal wall thickness, and the nominal distance between adjacent depressions is shown by the equation WT.Math.PT.Math.D≦0.030.

Adjustment mechanism and structure having same

Disclosed are adjustment mechanisms and structures including one or more adjustment mechanisms. An adjustment mechanism comprising a casing, first and second arms, a second arm, a button, and an elastic member. The first and second arms are movably disposed in a channel of the casing. The button is operably coupled with the first and second arms and selectively pushes a first end of the first arm out of a first side of the casing and a second end of a second arm out of a second side of the casing. The elastic member abuts the casing and button such that the button is held at a desired position and consequently the first and second arms are held at a desired state under normal conditions. The adjustment mechanisms of the present disclosure provide an easy, convenient and safe means for height or length adjustment.
