Abstract

A table including a tabletop and numbers of legs. A number of connecting positions for connecting with the legs are arranged in a bottom surface of the tabletop. The legs are connected with the connecting positions and extend transversely from the tabletop. The connecting positions and the upper ends of the legs are connected together by screw threads. Each of the legs include a recessed tool receptacle for receiving a tool to rotate the legs.

Claims (23)

1. A table with combined and upstanding legs comprising:

a tabletop and a plurality of legs, each of said legs including an upper end and a lower end; and

a plurality of connecting positions for connecting said plurality of legs to said tabletop are arranged in a bottom surface of said tabletop, said plurality of legs are connected with said connecting positions of said tabletop such that said plurality of legs extend transversely from said tabletop, said connecting positions and said upper ends of said plurality of legs are connected together by screw threads;

said lower ends of said plurality of legs each including a plug defining a through-hole and a slice spaced from said plug and secured to an inside surface of said legs, each of said slices including a tool receptacle configured for receiving a tool that is aligned with said through-hole, wherein the tool is inserted through said through-hole and into direct engagement with said tool receptacle of said leg, and wherein rotation of the tool in each of said receptacles directly rotates a respective one of said plurality of legs.

2. The table with combined and upstanding legs according to claim 1 , wherein said recessed tool receptacle has a cross section shape that is non-circular.

3. The table with combined and upstanding legs according to claim 1 , wherein the table is further equipped with a tool comprising a handle and an insert part fixed on the handle, the insert part can be inserted in said recessed tool receptacle moveably but non-rotatably.

4. The table with combined and upstanding legs according to claim 3 , wherein the bottom surface of the tabletop has an equal number of first holders to the number of the legs, the legs are removably connected in the first holders, and the bottom surface of the tabletop having second holders, wherein at least one tool is removably connected in the second holders.

5. The table with combined and upstanding legs according to claim 1 , wherein said recessed tool receptacle has a cross section shape in the form of a triangle, quadrangle, pentagon or hexagon.

6. The table with combined and upstanding legs according to claim 5 , wherein each of the legs is a pipe fitting, and a connected slice is fixed on a lower end of each leg, the connected slice including the recessed tool receptacle.

7. The table with combined and upstanding legs according to claim 1 , wherein the connection positions comprise a nut embedded in the tabletop, a screw hole of the nut is exposed in the bottom surface of the tabletop; the upper ends of said plurality of legs having an embedded bolt with a threaded end, said threaded end protruding out from said upper ends of said plurality of legs; wherein said threaded ends engage the nuts.

8. The table with combined and upstanding legs according to claim 7 , wherein the tabletop is a composite plate, comprising:

a top plate and a bottom plate;

a honeycomb plate between the top plate and the bottom plate;

an inner lining for strengthening the tabletop, which is arranged in positions where needed between the top plate and bottom plate;

and the nut being fixed on the inner lining, and the bottom plate having a first hole which corresponds to the thread hole of the nut.

9. The table with combined and upstanding legs according to claim 8 , wherein the inner lining covers a honeycomb core completely around the honeycomb plate, the cross section of the inner lining having a U-shape; the nut being welded on the top surface of a cross plate of the U-shaped inner lining, and the cross plate having a second hole which corresponds to the thread hole of the nut.

10. The table with combined and upstanding legs according to claim 7 , wherein the leg is a pipe fitting, and a stator is fixed on the upper end of the leg, the stator having a connecting hole; wherein the bolt includes a head and a shank extending from the head, the head being fixed on a bottom side of the stator, and the bolt shank extending through the connecting hole and protruding out the top surface of the leg.

11. The table with combined and upstanding legs according to claim 1 , wherein each of said recessed tool receptacles include a connecting slice spaced from a bottom end of said leg and the plug is positioned adjacent to said connecting slice, said plug defining a first hole at said bottom end of said leg and said connecting slice defining a second hole configured to receive the tool, wherein said first hole is spaced from and aligned with said second hole.

12. A table with combined and upstanding legs comprising:

a tabletop and a plurality of legs, each of said legs including an upper end and a lower end; and

a plurality of connecting positions for connecting said plurality of legs to said tabletop are arranged in a bottom surface of said tabletop, said plurality of legs are connected with connecting positions of said tabletop such that said plurality of legs extend transversely from said tabletop, said connecting positions and upper ends of said legs are connected together by screw threads;

said lower ends of said plurality of legs each including a plug defining a through-hole and a slice spaced from said plug and secured to an inside surface of said legs, each of said slices including a tool receptacle configured for receiving a tool, wherein the tool is inserted through said through-hole and into direct engagement with said tool receptacle of said leg, and wherein rotation of the tool in each of said recessed tool receptacles directly rotates a respective one of said plurality of legs, said bottom surface of said tabletop including at least one tool holder wherein the tool is removably connected to the tool holder.

13. The table with combined and upstanding legs according to claim 12 , wherein each of said recessed tool receptacles include a connecting slice spaced from a bottom end of said leg and the plug is positioned adjacent to said connecting slice, said plug defining a first hole at said bottom end of said leg and said connecting slice defining a second hole configured to receive the tool, wherein said first hole is spaced from and aligned with said second hole.
