Abstract

A storage device for storing plates forming a dinner tray for a pool table includes a support frame arranged to carry the dinner tray plates, and stops for fixing the support frame to a chassis of the pool table. The stops are arranged to enable a vertical movement of the support frame between a returned position, in which the support frame is intended to extend horizontally to the proximity of the chassis, and a deployed position, in which the support frame is intended to extend horizontally at a distance from the chassis. The stops support the support frame in the deployed position and retain the support frame in the returned position.

Claims (6)

1 . A storage device for storing plates forming a dinner tray for a pool table, comprising a support frame arranged to carry the dinner tray plates, and stops for fixing the support frame to a chassis of the pool table, the stops being arranged to enable a vertical movement of the support frame between a returned position, in which the support frame is intended to extend horizontally to the proximity of the chassis, and a deployed position, in which the support frame is intended to extend horizontally at a distance from the chassis, the stops being provided with means for supporting the support frame in the deployed position and, above the support means, means for retaining the support frame in the returned position, wherein the support frame comprises a wired framework comprising two first wires connected to one another by second wires, the first wires comprising end sections forming tenons intended to be received in a groove provided in the stops.

2 . The storage device according to claim 1 , wherein the end sections of the first wires extending along one same direction.

3 . The storage device according to claim 2 , wherein the end sections of each of the first wires extending along one same axis.

4 . The storage device according to claim 1 , wherein each of the stops comprises a body comprising side walls delimiting the groove, the side walls each comprising a window inside which a tab extends, which is formed integrally with the side wall and which is provided with a raised element rotated towards the inside of the groove to form the retaining means, the tabs being elastically deformable between a rest state in which the raised elements define a passage cross-section less than a diameter of the end sections of the first wires of the support frame, and a deformed state in which the raised elements define a passage cross-section equal to or slightly greater than the diameter of said end sections.

5 . The storage device according to claim 4 , wherein the raised elements of the tabs are rounded.

6 . A Pool table comprising a chassis, under which a storage device is fixed, according to claim 1 via the stops.
