Abstract
A modular table, such as a conference table is constructed of a plurality of detachable, connected modules. Each module has a three-sided top formed by connecting three three-sided sections. Each three-sided section has a base side forming an outer edge of the module top, a first side and a second side. The first and second sides are joined at an angle of 120°, and are preferably of different lengths, so that a central opening is formed in the top of each module. The base side of at least one section of each module is convex. A base supporting each module preferably has an opening so that utilities can be connected from a floor beneath the table to the table top through openings in the modules and base.
Claims20
A table module comprising:
- a) a three-sided top having an upper surface and a lower surface, said top being formed of three three-sided sections, each of said sections having a base side forming an outer edge of said top, a first side and a second side, said first and second sides being joined at an angle of 120°, the base side of at least one of said sections being convex;
- and
- b) a base supporting said top.
A module with a three-sided modular top having an upper surface and a lower surface, said top being formed of a total of three sections selected from
- a) first section having straight first, second and base sides, the first and second sides of said first section being joined at an angle of 120°;
- and
- b) second section having straight first and second sides, and a convex base side, the first and second sides of said second section being joined at an angle of 120°, the first and second sides of all sections being of the same length, with the second sides being longer than the first sides, said first sides abutting second sides of adjacent sections, whereby an opening is formed in the center of said top.
A table comprised of:
- a) a plurality of connected three-sided modular tops with upper and lower surfaces, each of said modular tops being formed of three three-sided sections, each of said sections having a base side forming an outer edge of said top, a first side and a second side, said first and second sides being joined at an angle of 120°, the base side of at least one of said sections being convex;
- and
- b) bases beneath each of said modular tops.
A table comprised of a plurality of connected three-sided modular tops with upper and lower surfaces, each of said tops being formed of a total of three adjacent sections selected from
- a) first section having straight first, second and base sides, the first and second sides of said first section being joined at an angle of 120°;
- and
- b) second section having straight first and second sides, and a convex base side, the first and second sides of said second section being joined at an angle of 120°, the first and second sides of all sections being of the same length, with the second side of each section being longer than the first side of each section, the first side of each section abutting the second side of an adjacent section, whereby an opening is formed in the center of each of said tops.
