Abstract
Disclosed is a folding table, which comprises table legs and support bars, the table legs are pivoted at the bottom portion of a table top, one end of the support bar is pivoted to the table leg, the other end of the support bar is disposed with a sliding hook, the sliding hook is slidable along the side edge of the table top in the table leg, the side edge of the table top is disposed with a lock groove with an opening; when the table leg is unfolded, the sliding hook is embedded in the lock groove; when the table leg is being folded, the external force is acted on the support bar to make the sliding hook separating from the lock groove and then the table leg is folded.

A folding table, comprising:
- at least one table leg,
- at least one support bar,
- at least one sliding hook, and
- at least one elastic stop element, wherein:
- each of the at least one table leg is pivoted at a bottom portion of a table top,
- a first end of each of the at least one support bar is pivotably coupled to a corresponding one of the at least one table leg,
- a second end of each of the at least one support bar is disposed with a corresponding one of the at least one sliding hook,
- each of the at least one sliding hook slides synchronously with a rotation of a corresponding one of the at least one table leg along a corresponding one of at least one side edge of the table top,
- each of the at least one side edge of the table top is disposed with at least one lock groove,
- each of the at least one lock groove comprises an opening,
- each of the at least one elastic stop element is configured to stop a corresponding one of the at least one sliding hook from sliding in and out of a corresponding one of the at least one lock groove,
- when the at least one table leg is unfolded, each of the at least one sliding hook presses a corresponding one of the at least one elastic stop element down and enters a corresponding one of the at least one lock groove,
- when the at least one table leg is folded, an external force acts on each of the at least one support bar to make a corresponding one of the at least one sliding hook press a corresponding one of the at least one elastic stop element down and exit a corresponding one of the at least one lock groove,
- each of the at least one elastic stop is a torsion spring with two torsion arms and a spring ring connecting the two torsion arms,
- a first torsion arm of the two torsion arms is positioned in a corresponding one of the at least one side edge of the table top, and
- a second torsion arm of the two torsion arms is aligned with the opening of the lock groove.
