Abstract
A foldable table includes a top plate, two leg units, and a telescopic support unit. Each leg unit includes two legs connected to and pivotable relative to the top plate. The telescopic support unit includes two support members, a first telescopic subunit, and a lock subunit. The support members are respectively mounted on the leg units. The first telescopic subunit is connected between the support members, and has an inner tube and an outer tube that is sleeved on and is slidable along the inner tube. The lock subunit is operable between a lock state and an unlock state for locking or unlocking sliding movement between the inner and the outer tubes.
Claims10
A foldable table comprising:
- a top plate;
- two leg units spaced apart from each other in a longitudinal direction, each of said leg units including two legs that are connected to said top plate and that are pivotable relative to said top plate between an unfolded position, where free ends of said legs are distal from said top plate, and a folded position, where said free ends of said legs are proximate to said top plate;
- and
- a telescopic support unit including
- two support members that are respectively mounted on said leg units and that are spaced apart from said top plate, each of said support members being connected between said legs of the respective one of said leg units,
- a first telescopic subunit that is directly connected between said support members, and that has
- an inner tube having an inner space that extends in said longitudinal direction, and
- an outer tube sleeved on and slidable along said inner tube, and
- a lock subunit that is mounted in said inner space of said inner tube, and that is operable between a lock state, where said lock subunit extends through said inner tube and said outer tube in a radial direction which is perpendicular to said longitudinal direction, so that said legs are maintained in the unfolded position, and that relative sliding movement between said inner tube and said outer tube is not allowed, and an unlock state, where said lock subunit is entirely retracted into said inner space to thereby allow relative sliding movement between said inner tube and said outer tube.
