Table, Particularly a Bar or Bistro Table

Abstract

Disclosed is a table with a table top which is connected via a table leg to a pedestal which can be placed on the ground. Between the table top and the pedestal is arranged a swivel joint, by means of which the table top is pivotable relative to the pedestal about at least one swivel axis aligned perpendicular to the lengthwise extension of the table leg. The table has a catch device adjustable between an open position and a closed position for the swivel joint by means of which the table top is fixable in different swivel positions relative to the pedestal. The table top is connected so that it is rotatable about a rotation axis oriented more or less perpendicular to its horizontal plane and is drive connected to the catch device so that said catch device is adjustable between the open position and the closed position by turning the table top about the rotation axis.

1 . A table with a table top which is connected via a table leg to a pedestal which can be placed on the ground, wherein between the table top and the pedestal is arranged a swivel joint, by means of which the table top is rotatable relative to the pedestal about at least one swivel axis aligned perpendicular to the lengthwise extension of the table, and with a catch device for the swivel joint adjustable between an open position and a closed position, by means of which the table top is fixable in different swivel positions relative to the pedestal, wherein the table top is connected to the pedestal so that it is rotatable about a rotation axis oriented more or less perpendicular to its horizontal plane and is drive connected to the catch device so that the latter is adjustable between the open position and the closed position by turning the table top about the rotation axis. 
   
   
       2 . The table of  claim 1 , wherein a blocking device is allocated to the catch device, which is capable of being brought into a release position and a blocking position and which coactively operates with the catch device so that the latter is adjustable between the open position and the closed position and further characterized in that adjustment of the catch device is blocked in the blocking position. 
   
   
       3 . The table of  claim 1 , wherein the swivel joint is arranged between the table leg and the pedestal. 
   
   
       4 . The table of  claim 1 , wherein the swivel joint is pivotable relative to the pedestal about at least two swivel axes running perpendicular to each other and is preferably configured as a ball joint. 
   
   
       5 . The table of  claim 1 , wherein the swivel bearing has a first bearing element connected to the pedestal and a second bearing element pivotable relative to the first bearing element and connected to the table leg, wherein the catch device has a joint gripping mechanism with a first gripping element and a second gripping element, wherein the first gripping element and the second gripping element are screw-connected to each other via a threaded fitting concentrically aligned to the rotation axis of the table top, wherein the first gripping element is connected at a first abutment site to the first bearing element and the second gripping element is connected at a second abutment site to the table top, and wherein the abutment sites are aligned so that a straight connecting line between the first abutment site and/or the center of area of the first abutment site and the second abutment site and/or the center of area of the second abutment site intersects the at least one swivel axis. 
   
   
       6 . The table of  claim 1 , wherein the first bearing element and the second bearing element have openings, and in that the joint gripping mechanism is fed through these openings. 
   
   
       7 . The table of  claim 1 , wherein the table leg is configured as a stanchion with a hollow center, and in that the joint gripping mechanism is fed through said hollow center. 
   
   
       8 . The table of  claim 1 , wherein the first bearing element is configured as a bearing seat with a spherical outer surface facing toward the second bearing element and with a spherical inner surface facing away from the second bearing element, wherein the second bearing element is a bearing cup superficially resting on the outer surface, wherein the first gripping element is a nut and the second gripping element is a threaded rod screw-connected thereto, and wherein the nut has a spherical outer envelope surface which comes into superficial contact with the inner surface of the first bearing element. 
   
   
       9 . The table of  claim 1 , wherein the joint gripping mechanism has a device for acoustic and/or optical signaling of a torque acting on said joint gripping mechanism when the table top is turned about the rotation axis. 
   
   
       10 . The table of  claim 1 , wherein the table top on its underside has a bearing sleeve, which is rotatably mounted on the table leg. 
   
   
       11 . The table of  claim 1 , wherein a bubble level is embedded in the top side of the table top. 
   
   
       12 . The table of  claim 1 , wherein the table top is connected to the pedestal so that it is tiltable between an operative position and an inoperative position about a tilting axis aligned more or less perpendicular to the lengthwise extension of the table leg, and in terms of the tilting movement, is lockable at least in the operative position.
