Folding table system with removable extension and rigidification element, and aircraft including such a system

摘要

A folding table system includes a table and a removable extension, together with a rigidification element slidably mounted within a cavity made in the table such that a portion of the rigidification element can be inserted in a housing made in the removable extension so as to rigidify the assembly formed by the table and the removable extension. The removable character of the removable extension in particular allows the system to be deployed by passing around possible obstacles by an appropriate conformation of at least one edge of the abovementioned assembly.

主权项

1. A folding table system, comprising:
a bracket, a table including a first end rotationally mounted on said bracket such that said table is movable between a storage position in which said table covers a first side of said bracket, and a deployment position in which said table is separated from said first side of said bracket, a removable extension having a first end connectable to a second end of the table opposite said first end of the table, such that said removable extension extends the table when the table is in the deployment position, a first retainer maintaining the table in said storage position and releasable to allow said table to rotate to said deployment position, and at least one rigidification element slidably mounted within a cavity provided within said table, and extendable from an opening at said second end of said table, such that an end portion of said rigidification element is movable outside the cavity, and is insertable into a portion of said removable extension and housed therein, when said first end of said removable extension is connected to said second end of said table in said deployment position.
