Abstract
A foldable frame with enhanced stability includes a mounting assembly, a first leg assembly and a second leg assembly. Each of the first and second leg assemblies are pivotally coupled with the mounting assembly and rotatable with respect to the mounting assembly between a use position and a storage position. Each of the first and second leg assemblies includes a substantially straight first leg and a substantially straight second leg. The first and second legs are slanted outwardly to increase the supporting area and thus enhance the stability of the foldable frame and stability of other structures supported by the foldable frame.
Claims20
A frame comprising:
- a mounting assembly;
- and
- first and second leg assemblies, each pivotally coupled with the mounting assembly and rotatable with respect to the mounting assembly between a use position and a storage position, wherein:
- each of the first and second leg assemblies comprises a first leg and a second leg;
- at least a majority portion of each of the first and second legs is substantially straight;
- the first and second legs of the first or second leg assembly are slanted outwardly relative to each other at a first angle;
- in the use position, the first legs of the first and second leg assemblies or the second legs of the first and second leg assemblies are slanted outwardly relative to each other at a second angle;
- and
- in the storage position, the first and second assemblies are folded toward the mounting assembly.
A frame comprising:
- a mounting assembly comprising a first lateral mounting member, a second lateral mounting member and a third lateral mounting member spaced apart in a first direction, wherein the third lateral mounting member is disposed between the first and second lateral mounting members;
- first and second leg assemblies, each pivotally coupled with the mounting assembly and rotatable with respect to the mounting assembly between a use position and a storage position, wherein each of the first and second leg assemblies comprise:
- a substantially straight first leg having an upper end portion pivotally coupled with the first or second mounting member at a first position;
- a substantially straight second leg having an upper end portion pivotally coupled with the first or second mounting member at a second position;
- and
- a lateral leg bar coupled with the first leg and coupled with the second leg,
- wherein the lateral leg bar has a length greater than a distance between the first and second positions such that the first and second legs of the first or second leg assembly are slanted outwardly relative to each other at a first angle;
- and
- first and second supporting assemblies, wherein
- the first supporting assembly is pivotally coupled with the third lateral mounting member of the mounting assembly and first leg assembly;
- the second supporting assembly is pivotally coupled with the third lateral mounting member of the mounting assembly and second leg assembly;
- and
- the first supporting assembly has a length greater than a distance between the first and third lateral mounting members and the second supporting assembly has a length greater than a distance between the second and third lateral mounting members such that when in the use position, the first legs of the first and second leg assemblies or the second legs of the first and second leg assemblies are slanted outwardly relative to each other at a second angle.
A table comprising:
- a table panel;
- a frame coupled with the table panel to support the table panel when in use, the frame comprising:
- a mounting assembly;
- and
- first and second leg assemblies, each pivotally coupled with the mounting assembly and rotatable with respect to the mounting assembly between a use position and a storage position, wherein:
- each of the first and second leg assemblies comprises a first leg and a second leg, wherein at least a majority portion of each of the first and second legs is substantially straight;
- the first and second legs of the first or second leg assembly are slanted outwardly relative to each other at a first angle;
- in the use position, the first legs of the first and second leg assemblies or the second legs of the first and second leg assemblies are slanted outwardly relative to each other at a second angle;
- and
- in the storage position, the first and second assemblies are folded toward the mounting assembly.
