Abstract

A table device for a vehicle includes a table element positionable from a non-working position to a working position, where in the non-working position the table element is arrangeable vertically in a central console. The table element is disposed on a bracket and the bracket is electrically positionable by a rotary drive where the rotary drive is configured for swivelling the bracket about an axis running parallel to a transverse axis of the vehicle in a direction of a longitudinal axis of the vehicle from the non-working position to an operational position for assuming the working position of the table element. The table element has two parts which, in the non-working position, are folded-up and abut against one another and which, for converting to the working position, are hinged about an axis running horizontally such that respective faces of the two parts run at least essentially in a horizontal plane.

First claim

1 .- 9 . (canceled)

10 . A table device (T) for a passenger compartment of a vehicle, comprising:
a table element ( 1 ) positionable from a non-working position to a working position, wherein in the non-working position the table element ( 1 ) is arrangeable vertically in a central console of the vehicle; a bracket ( 2 ), wherein the table element ( 1 ) is disposed on the bracket ( 2 ); and a rotary drive (R), wherein the bracket ( 2 ) is electrically positionable by the rotary drive (R), wherein the rotary drive (R) is configured for swivelling the bracket ( 2 ) about an axis running parallel to a transverse axis (y) of the vehicle in a direction of a longitudinal axis (x) of the vehicle from the non-working position to an operational position for assuming the working position of the table element ( 1 ); wherein the table element ( 1 ) comprises two parts ( 1 . 1 , 1 . 2 ) which, in the non-working position, are folded-up and abut against one another and which, for converting to the working position, are hinged about an axis running horizontally such that respective faces of the two parts ( 1 . 1 , 1 . 2 ) run at least essentially in a horizontal plane.

11 . The table device (T) according to claim 10 , wherein the rotary drive (R) comprises a drive unit ( 4 ) which is securely fastenable to the vehicle by a retaining element ( 3 ).

12 . The table device (T) according to claim 11 , wherein the drive unit ( 4 ) is coupled mechanically to a spindle ( 5 ) running in a direction of a vertical axis (z) of the vehicle, wherein the spindle ( 5 ) is connected to a pinion ( 6 ) with a bevel gearing (K) mounted non-rotatably on the pinion ( 6 ), and wherein the pinion ( 6 ) with the bevel gearing (K) is connected operatively to a toothed element ( 8 ) coupled mechanically to the bracket ( 2 ).

13 . The table device (T) according to claim 10 , wherein the table element ( 1 ) is swivelable on the bracket ( 2 ) and is swivelable sideways, about the axis running horizontally, into the working position.

14 . The table device (T) according to claim 13 , further comprising a hinge disposed on the bracket ( 2 ) or on the table element ( 1 ) for sideways swivelling of the table element ( 1 ).

15 . The table device (T) according to claim 10 , wherein at least one of the two parts ( 1 . 1 , 1 . 2 ) of the table element ( 1 ) and the bracket ( 2 ), at least in a respective section, are hollow.

16 . The table device (T) according to claim 10 , wherein the table element ( 1 ) is a metal or a plastic.

17 . The table device (T) according to claim 10 , wherein a stowing area of the table element ( 1 ) has a non-slip coating.

18 . A vehicle, comprising:
the table device (T) according to claim 10 .
