Abstract
A dismantlable table includes a tabletop that is fastened by a fastening component to a structure forming a frame, the structure having a lip that lies flat under the tabletop. Each fastening component includes a latch that is rotatable about a vertical axis, having at least one laterally protruding boss, and includes a recess formed under the tabletop that has at least one protrusion facing the axis. In a mounting position, the bosses pass into the recess next to the protrusions, and in a locking position following rotation, the bosses fit above the protrusions, a lower bearing plane of the latch lying under the lip of the structure.
Claims15
A dismountable table comprising:
- a tabletop fastened by a plurality of fasteners on a structure forming a frame, wherein the structure includes a flange bearing against a lower face of the tabletop, each fastener comprising a latch, rotatable along an axis of rotation which is vertical, provided with an upper portion having at least one boss projecting laterally, and comprising a recess, provided on the tabletop and emerging in the lower face of the tabletop, having a bottom and at least one protrusion oriented towards the axis of rotation, the upper portion of each latch being configured to be inserted in the respective recess, in a mounting position the at least one boss of each latch being received into the respective recess and being angularly offset from the respective at least one protrusion, and in a blocking position, after rotation, the at least one boss of each latch fitting above the respective at least one protrusion and a lower bearing plane of each latch coming under the flange of the structure in order to ensure an axial clamping of the tabletop on the frame.
A method for assembling a dismountable tabletop on a structure by a plurality of fasteners, wherein the structure comprises a flange bearing against a lower face of the tabletop, for each fastener the method includes the following steps:
- inserting an upper portion of a latch, rotatable along an axis of rotation which is vertical, comprising at least one boss projecting laterally, in a recess, provided on the tabletop and emerging in the lower face of the tabletop, having a bottom and at least one protrusion oriented towards the axis of rotation, such that the at least one boss of the latch is angularly offset from the respective at least one protrusion,
- rotating the latch towards a blocking position, inserting the least one boss above the respective at least one protrusion, and
- sliding a lower bearing plane of the latch under the flange of the structure in order to ensure an axial clamping of the tabletop on the frame.
A dismountable table comprising:
- a tabletop fastened by a plurality of fasteners on a structure forming a frame, wherein the structure has a rectangular shape and includes two longitudinal members connected by two cross members, at least one of the longitudinal members and of the cross members including a flange bearing against a lower face of the tabletop, each fastener comprising a latch, rotatable along an axis of rotation which is vertical between a mounting position and a blocking position, provided with an upper portion having at least one boss projecting laterally, and comprising a recess, provided on the tabletop and emerging in the lower face of the tabletop, having a bottom and at least one protrusion oriented towards the axis of rotation, the upper portion of each latch being configured to be inserted in the respective recess, in the mounting position the at least one boss of each latch being received into the respective recess and being angularly offset from the respective at least one protrusion and a lower bearing surface of each latch being angularly offset from the flange of the structure, and in the blocking position, after rotation, the at least one boss of each latch fitting above the respective at least one protrusion and the lower bearing surface of each latch coming under the flange of the structure and exerting a bearing force against said flange in order to ensure an axial clamping of the tabletop on the frame.
