Folding table

A folding table, comprising:

• a table board,
• a support leg,
• a bracket connected between the table board and the support leg, and
• one or more snapping torsion springs, wherein:
• a top portion of the bracket is disposed with an upper crossbar,
• the upper crossbar is positioned on a rear portion of a bottom surface of the table board,
• the table board is configured to rotate about the upper crossbar,
• a bottom portion of the table board is disposed with one or more pawls,
• the upper crossbar is disposed with one or more lock plates,
• edges of the one or more lock plates comprise at least one ratchet wheel groove,
• when the folding table is in a folded state:
• the one or more pawls are separated from the at least one ratchet wheel groove, and
• the table board rotates downward to be vertically disposed, and
• when the folding table is in an unfolded state:
• the table board rotates upward,
• when the one or more pawls are disposed in the at least one ratchet wheel groove, the one or more snapping torsion springs are compressed to apply upward elastic forces on the one or more pawls to enable the one or more pawls to be fastened to the at least one ratchet wheel groove, so that the table board is locked to prevent the table board from rotating downward, and
• when the table board needs to be folded:
• the one or more pawls slide over an uppermost ratchet wheel groove of the at least one ratchet wheel groove,
• the upward elastic forces of the one or more snapping torsion springs are released to be uncompressed to enable arc end surfaces of the one or more snapping torsion springs to face the at least one ratchet wheel groove to be separated from the at least one ratchet wheel groove,
• the one or more snapping torsion springs are maintained to be uncompressed to enable the arc end surfaces to slide over the at least one ratchet wheel groove, and
• the table board then rotates downward to be folded.
