Abstract
The table includes tubular legs and nodes or technical pieces having a bottom arm to be plugged into the tubular legs and lateral slots for the tongued and grooved coupling of pieces at the end of arms constituted in pairs and connected to each other, those of one pair to the ones of the other pair by means of an intermediate tensor rod so as to configure a horizontal structure associated to the legs. A board is screwed both to the nodes and to the intermediate frame, particularly to plates connecting each pair of arms to the intermediate tensor rod.
Claims5
A table comprising:
- a working board comprising a bottom side with cylindrical inserts fixed to the bottom side, each of the cylindrical inserts having a perimetral groove;
- a plurality of tubular legs with hollow interiors;
- a plurality of nodes, each of the nodes connecting one of the legs to the bottom side of the board;
- wherein each of the nodes comprises a lower arm, an upper base and a lateral surface;
- the lower arm plugged into the hollow interior of one of the legs;
- holes on the upper base coupling each of the nodes to one of the cylindrical inserts fixed to the bottom side of the board, each of the holes comprising diametrical slots having a width corresponding to a diameter of the perimetral groove of the insert so that relative displacement of the node and the connected leg achieves locking of the leg to the board;
- and
- a frame attached to the nodes and the bottom side of the board, the frame having a variable length;
- the frame length being varied to displace and lock the nodes.
