Hollow panel furniture

#A known plastic table top has a single thick plate or two layers of thin plates. These table tops are blow molding types and vacuum forming types. These hollow table tops have a top plate and a bottom plate stacked together. A metal frame is disposed at the inner side of the periphery of the stacked top plate and the bottom plate. Existing vacuum forming table tops need vertical flanges at the inner side of the periphery of the top and bottom plate to cover the metal frame. The joint of the top plate and the bottom plate is exposed. In use fingers or clothes may be caught or clamped by the vertical flanges, causing injury or damaging clothes or the vertical flanges. This kind of embedded metal frame only acts to increase strength and connect the support elements but it cannot protect the connecting points of the top plate and the bottom plate.

#A frame structure of a table top with stable structure and high security overcomes the disadvantages of the related art. A hollow table top has a top plate and a bottom plate, the bottom plate is disposed with projections or concave features. The edge of the bottom surface of the table top is disposed with a metal frame, the edge of the top plate extends downwardly. The metal frame is disposed with a protruding portion in the horizontal direction extending out of the top plate side.

#In another preferred embodiment, the protruding portion of the metal frame is a crimping bending upwardly and covers the bottom portion of top plate side.

#FIG. 1 illustrates a schematic diagram of a table.

#FIG. 2 illustrates a front view of the table of FIG. 1.

#FIG. 3 illustrates an enlargement diagram of area A of FIG. 2.

#Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the table comprises a table top 1 and table legs 2. The table legs 2 are foldable and connected to the bottom of the table top 1. The table top 1 comprises a top plate 11 and a bottom plate 12 being stackable together. The bottom plate 12 has concave features or projections 121. The edge of the bottom surface of the top plate 1 is disposed with a metal frame 13. The bottom plate 12 is supported on the metal frame 13. The metal frame 13 is detachably locked to the bottom plate 12. A screw 14 passes through the metal frame 13 to lock to the bottom plate 12 from end up.

#The edge of the top plate 11 is disposed with a downwardly extending top plate side 112. The bottom portion of the top plate side 112 bends towards the metal frame 13. The edge of the bottom plate 12 is disposed with a downwardly extending bottom plate side 12. The bottom portion of the bottom plate side 122 bends towards the metal frame 13. The top plate side 112 and the bottom plate side 122 are contacted together. The metal frame 13 has a protruding portion, which, in this embodiment is a crimping 132 bending upwardly from the bottom portion of the top plate side 112. The crimping 132 covers the bottom portion of the top plate side 112 and the bottom plate side 122.

#The bottom portion of the top plate side and the bottom plate side bend towards the metal frame so as to make space for the crimping and keep the crimping and the external edge of the crimping vertically aligned, so the side surface is in a plane and the table top attractive.
