Abstract
Furniture with a foldable support is provided. The furniture includes a top plate constituting an upper surface of the furniture, a support hinged to support the top plate, a folding part including first and second folding parts hinged to fold the support, and a resilient part for resiliently supporting the second folding part in an unfolding direction. Therefore, it is possible to reduce a volume of the furniture by folding the support into a lower space of the top plate during storage, and improve an unfolding support force of the support by installing the resilient part for applying a resilient force to the folding part upon unfolding of the support.
Claims1
Furniture with a foldable support comprising:
- a top plate constituting an upper surface of the furniture;
- supports hinged to both ends of a lower surface of the top plate at upper ends thereof to support the top plate;
- folding parts each including a first folding part hinged to the inside of the support at its one end, and a second folding part hinged to the other end of the first folding part at its one end and hinged to a center of the top plate at the other end;
- and
- resilient parts installed at a coupling part between the top plate and the second folding part to resiliently support the second folding part in an unfolding direction,
- wherein a hinge coupling part between the first and second folding parts is spaced apart from the other end of the first folding part such that one end of the second folding part is inserted into a lower part of the other end of the first folding part to support the top plate in contact with the inside of the other end of the first folding part when the folding parts are unfolded,
- wherein, when the folding parts are unfolded, an internal angle α of the hinge coupling part between the first and second folding parts is 172° to 178°.
