Abstract

An improved fastening structure for fastening a table top (1) and a leg frame (2) includes an anchor element (11) fixedly attached to the table top (1), and a displacement element (22) coupled to the leg frame (2) and movable thereon for engaging with the anchor element (11) through a fastener (3) such that the table top (1) is detachable from the leg frame (2) to form a smaller size to facilitate storing and transportation.

Claims

1. An improved fastening structure in combination with a table top (1), the fastening structure for fastening the table top (1) and a leg frame (2), comprising:

an anchor element (11) fixedly attached to the table top (1);

a displacement element (22) coupled to the leg frame (2) and movable thereon for engaging with the anchor element (11) through a fastener (3) such that the table top (1) is detachable from the leg frame (2) to form a smaller size to facilitate storing and transportation; and

wherein the anchor element (11) includes a body (110) fixedly fastened to the table top (1) through a fastener (4), a constraint section (111) extending from the body (110) for limiting movement of the displacement element (22) and a coupling section (112) extending from the constraint section (111) in a stepped manner for coupling with the displacement element (22).

2. An improved fastening structure in combination with a table top (1), the fastening structure for fastening the table top (1) and a leg frame (2), comprising:

an anchor element (11) fixedly attached to the table top (1);

a displacement element (22) coupled to the leg frame (2) and movable thereon for engaging with the anchor element (11) through a fastener (3) such that the table top (1) is detachable from the leg frame (2) to form a smaller size to facilitate storing and transportation; and

wherein the displacement element (22) has a displacement trough (220) formed therein through two ends thereof, the displacement trough (220) having an interior diameter no less than the exterior diameters of the transverse bars (21, 21′

) and the coupling section (112).

3. An improved fastening structure in combination with a table top (1), the fastening structure for fastening the table top (1) and a leg frame (2), comprising:

an anchor element (11) fixedly attached to the table top (1);

a displacement element (22) coupled to the leg frame (2) and movable thereon for engaging with the anchor element (11) through a fastener (3) such that the table top (1) is detachable from the leg frame (2) to form a smaller size to facilitate storing and transportation; and

wherein the displacement element (22) has a first aperture (221) passing to the displacement trough (220), the coupling section (112) having a second aperture (113) matching and engageable with the first aperture (221) through a fastener (3).
