Portable Drafting Table : Components and Structure Review
A top, a shelf and a base are the three main parts of a portable drafting table. The materials are so chosen that the table is as light weight and portable as possible. These may be light weight wood or light weight other materials. The construction of the table is such one can fix the components up and unfasten them in a jiffy. This does not require much effort either. The assembly and disassembly of the table is so designed that no tools like screwdrivers etc. are required. The three components of the table snugly fit into each other giving rise to the structure used as the drafting table. The table, when folded also has a handle for transportation.
The table can be set up wherever and whenever required. The table can be easily carried from place to place. The table is made portable by providing a folding three panel base. The base panels are so designed that they cover up the shelf between them. The top has grooves along its side for fixation. It can easily be separated. The grooves fit into the base panels and provide support to the top when the table is assembled. The table is thence easily folded and made into a small sized package, which is very easy to shift from place to place.
When it comes to disassembly of the table, one just needs to take the top off the base and then pull the shelf out. The side panels of the base are then aligned along the central base panel. The top and shelf of the table have carrying handles with a hand hole present on the base of the table. This provides grip while shifting the folded table. Now coming to the assembly of the table, try the vice versa approach. Firstly, unfold the base and straighten it out. Insert shelf part of the table between the two side panels. And then lastly, place the top on the shelf of the portable drafting table.
As stated earlier, the base of the table has three panels: One central panel and two side panels. The central panel has the shape of an elongated rectangle whereas the side panels have a trapezium like shape. The four sides of the panels are so made that the back edge is of the same vertical length as that of the central base panel. There is a notch present on the top edge of the left and right panels.
The side panels can be rotated on the central panel with the help of attachments. This helps in forming the base for the straightened out shelf. The attachments run for the entire vertical length of the central panel are present on the two sides, where the side panels are attached. These allow the limitation of the angular motion o the side panels.
The elongated rectangular top has rails and blocks along its side that help to fasten it to the shelf. Such a table is very convenient for people who need to carry their work board from one place to another. Also, if you need a change of ambience frequently, then the drafting table is the table for you.
