Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a folding leg device that serves as a leg for a table or a stove used outdoors.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 The leg device, which is the leg of a table or stove used outdoors, has a folding structure that can be made compact so that it can be carried easily. Specifically, as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 6-178539, a connecting portion that is vertically slidable above and below four or six legs (usually only the lower connecting portion is up and down). There is known a device in which each end of the cross rod having the central part pivotally connected is pivotally connected to the above-mentioned connecting part so that the legs can be expanded or closed and freely folded. There is. In addition, in order to allow the height of the entire leg device to be adjusted, there is also known a device in which the leg rod is composed of two upper and lower leg rods, and the upper and lower leg rods are inserted so that the length can be adjusted. (No. 4-101629, No. 7-10697).

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 By the way, in the above-mentioned folding leg device, in order to maintain the opened and expanded state, it is indispensable to use a connecting lateral rod for connecting the tops of the leg rods. However, these connecting horizontal rods are separate members from the leg device and are carried separately. For this reason, if the connecting rod is forgotten, the leg device cannot be used. Therefore, the present invention proposes a folding leg device capable of simultaneously carrying a connecting horizontal rod.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The folding leg device according to the present invention is provided with a connecting body in which at least one of upper and lower sides is slidably mounted on the leg rod, and each end of the X-shaped cross rod is pivotally connected to the connecting body to open the leg. In the freely folding leg device, a storage unit for holding the connecting horizontal rod along with the leg rod is attached to the upper and lower connecting members facing the outer peripheral side in the closed state.

[0005]

[Action]

 The leg device puts the leg rod in a closed state when being carried, and in the closed state, the connecting body is located at the most distant position in the vertical direction. Therefore, when the connecting horizontal rod is attached to the storage section provided in the upper and lower connecting bodies, the connecting horizontal rod becomes a form that fits the leg rod and can be carried together with the leg device.

[0006]

【Example】

 Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. The folding leg device (with a connecting horizontal rod) shown in the embodiment includes a leg rod 1, upper and lower connecting members 2 and 3, a cross rod 4, and a connecting horizontal rod 5. The leg rod 1 is composed of an upper leg rod 11 and a lower leg rod 12 which are arranged on the upper and lower sides, and has a structure in which the lower leg rod 12 is inserted into the upper leg rod 11 and an appropriate fixing portion 13 at the insertion point is attached. The length is adjustable.

The upper connecting body 2 is made of resin and is fixed to the top of the upper leg rod 11. A connecting horizontal rod insertion hole 21 and a fixing mechanism 22 for the inserted connecting horizontal rod 5 are provided in the upper portion of the upper connecting body 2 and mounted. Corresponding to the arrangement of the leg rods 11, the projection 23 for pivoting the cross rod 4 and the retaining portion 24 of the connecting horizontal rod 5 are provided. The storage portion 24 is formed by integrally molding a connecting body in a shape in which the tip end portion is opened and the inside is expanded to form a U shape to impart elasticity.

The lower connecting rod 3 is slidably inserted in the lower leg rod 2, and is disposed at a position where the lower leg body 12 to be mounted, that is, the pivoting protrusion 23 and the connecting lateral portion of the upper connecting rod 2. A pivoting projection 31 and a storage section 32 having the same configuration are provided at locations corresponding to the storage section 24 of the rod 5, respectively.

The cross rod 4 has a middle portion pivotally connected to form an X shape, and an end portion of the cross rod 4 is attached to each of the adjacent leg rods 1. It was connected to 32. Further, the connecting horizontal rod 5 has a length corresponding to the extension of the leg rod 1, and if necessary, connecting portions (inserting projection and receiving recess) 51, 52 may be provided on the end face portion (Fig. 3. B) or a combination of the connecting bolt 53 and the screw hole 54 formed in the end surface of the horizontal rod 5 so as to be connected and separated. In the above-mentioned leg device, the distance between the leg rods 1 is adjusted to be wide or narrow depending on the cross angle of the cross rod 4 and the sliding position of the lower connecting rod 2. Therefore, at the time of use, the leg rod 1 is opened and expanded, the upper connecting body 2 is connected by the connecting horizontal rod 5 to stabilize the entire apparatus, and further, the length of the leg rod 1 is adjusted as necessary, and the upper surface of the device is The table board A is mounted and used, or a stove for barbecue is mounted and used. The greatest feature of the present invention is that it is in the state of form, and the connecting horizontal rod 5 is detached from the upper connecting body 2 from the leg device in use and separated into a predetermined length. After the body 12 is extended, the leg rods 1 are converged into a closed state, and when the connecting horizontal rods 5 are fitted and attached to the storage units 24 and 32, the connecting horizontal rods 5 are in a form to follow the leg rods 1 together with the leg device. It is ready to be carried.

[0010]

[Effect of device]

 INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY As described above, the present invention provides a folding leg device in which a slidable connecting body is attached to a leg rod and an end portion of a cross rod that pivotally connects an intermediate portion is pivotally connected to a connecting body of adjacent leg rods. In particular, the connecting body is provided with a storage part for the connecting horizontal rod, which is necessary for stability when the above-mentioned leg device is used, and the connecting horizontal rod can be kept together with the leg device when not in use. Since the horizontal rod is not lost or forgotten to be carried, and because it is stored in a form that fits the vertically long leg rod, there is an advantage that the storage of the horizontal rod is not an obstacle.
