Abstract
A one-piece table base of molded plastic includes at least three hollow upright legs extending outwardly from each other from a central portion. Each leg has at least one side wall. Each side wall has first and second wall portions which are offset from each other and joined together by a first upwardly arching ridge. An upper flange extends from upper portions of the legs for attachment to a table top.
Claims19
A table base comprising a one piece base form of molded material, the base form being of hollow construction with at least one radially extending side wall, said side wall having first and second wall portions joined together by a first upwardly arching ridge extending from a bottom wall, the first and second wall portions being laterally offset from each other with the first ridge having a width extending between the first and second wall portions.
A table base comprising a base form with a hollow central portion of tubular construction including hollow legs extending radially from the hollow central portion, each leg comprising two side walls positioned on opposite sides of the leg, each side wall having first and second wall portions joined together by an upwardly extending arching ridge, said ridge extending from a junction of the first wall portion, the second wall portion and a bottom wall on one side wall of each leg to the junction of the first wall portion, the second wall portion and the bottom wall on the opposite side wall, said ridge having a width extending between the first and second wall portions.
A one piece table base of molded material comprising:
- at least three hollow upright legs extending outwardly away from each other from a central portion, each leg having at least one side wall, each side wall having first and second wall portions which are laterally offset from each other and joined together by a first upwardly arching ridge, the first ridge having a width extending between the first and second wall portions;
- and
- an upper flange extending from upper portions of the legs for attachment to a table top.
A hollow one piece table leg of molded material comprising two side walls positioned on opposite sides of the leg and joined together by a bottom wall, each side wall having first and second wall portions which are laterally offset from each other and joined together by an upwardly extending arching ridge, said ridge extending from a junction of the first wall portion, the second wall portion and the bottom wall on one side wall of the leg to the junction of the first wall portion, the second wall portion and the bottom wall on the opposite side, said ridge having a width extending between the first and second wall portions.
A method of making a table base comprising the steps of:
- forming a hollow one piece base form of molded material, the base form having at least one side wall with first and second wall portions;
- and
- laterally offsetting the first and second wall portions from each other and joining said first and second wall portions together with a first upwardly arching ridge extending from a bottom wall, the first ridge having a width extending between the first and second wall portions.
