Abstract

An improved loading plane for tables and chairs comprises at least one loading element, one connecting element and one bordering element. A plurality of the connecting elements and a plurality of the loading elements are engaged to form a loading plane which may be wound in a roll or folded. After the loading elements and the connecting elements are engaged and assembled, the bordering elements may be bonded to the edges of the loading elements to provide ornamental effect to the loading elements and to protect people from injuring by the edges of the loading elements.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . An improved loading plane for tables and chairs comprising a plurality of loading elements to form a loading plane, each of the loading elements having a first coupling trough and two second coupling troughs symmetrically formed at two sides of the first coupling trough, the second coupling troughs having respectively a slot formed on a lateral side thereof.  
     
     
         2 . The improved loading plane for tables and chairs of  claim 1 , wherein the loading elements are selectively made of wood, metal or plastics.  
     
     
         3 . The improved loading plane for tables and chairs of  claim 1 , wherein the slot has a stopper located therein at a selected position.  
     
     
         4 . An improved loading plane for tables and chairs, comprising: 
 at least one loading element having a first coupling trough and two second coupling troughs symmetrically formed at two sides of the first coupling trough, the second coupling troughs having respectively a slot formed on a lateral side thereof; and    at least one connecting element for engaging with the second coupling troughs;    wherein a plurality of the connecting elements and a plurality of the loading elements are engaged to form a loading plane for supporting human weight and goods.    
     
     
         5 . The improved loading plane for tables and chairs of  claim 4 , wherein the connecting element is selectively made of rubber or plastics which has flexibility, toughness or elasticity.  
     
     
         6 . The improved loading plane for tables and chairs of  claim 4 , wherein the connecting element has a bridge section and two coupling elements located at two sides of the bridge section.  
     
     
         7 . The improved loading plane for tables and chairs of  claim 6 , wherein the engaged loading elements are spaced from each other for a selected distance by the bridge section.  
     
     
         8 . An improved loading plane for tables and chairs, comprising: 
 at least one loading element having a first coupling trough and two second coupling troughs symmetrically formed at two sides of the first coupling trough, the second coupling troughs having respectively a slot formed on a lateral side thereof;    at least one connecting element for engaging with the second coupling troughs; and    at least one bordering element bonded to one edge of the loading element;    wherein a plurality of the connecting elements and a plurality of the loading elements are engaged to form a loading plane for supporting human weight and goods, the bordering element being bonded to the edge of the loading elements to provide ornamental effect to the loading elements and to protect people from injuring by the edges of the loading elements.    
     
     
         9 . The improved loading plane for tables and chairs of  claim 8 , wherein the bordering element is selectively made of metal, plastics or rubber.  
     
     
         10 . The improved loading plane for tables and chairs of  claim 8 , wherein the bordering element has a side wall and a first plug element and two second plug elements located on the side wall.  
     
     
         11 . The improved loading plane for tables and chairs of  claim 10 , wherein the side wall of the bordering element has patterns, models number or company logos or trademarks disposed thereon.  
     
     
         12 . The improved loading plane for tables and chairs of  claim 11 , wherein the patterns, models number or company logos or trademarks are integrally formed with the bordering element.
