Folding table brace lock assembly

A table brace lock assembly comprising:

• a clip base,
• a spring leaf, and
• a tube retainer;
• the clip base having an open front end and a closed rear end opposite the open front end;
• the spring leaf having a mounted end and a free end;
• the mounted end being mounted on the clip base at the closed rear end so that the free end points toward the open front end;
• the tube retainer being arranged at the free end;
• wherein a table brace bar entering the open front end between the clip base and the tube retainer causes the spring leaf to flex outward, allowing the table brace bar to pass enough of the tube retainer so as to contact the closed rear end, thereby allowing the spring leaf to flex back, releasably trapping the table brace bar between the clip base, the spring leaf, and the tube retainer.

A table brace lock assembly comprising:

• a clip base,
• a spring leaf, and
• a tube retainer;
• the clip base having a topside, a bottom side, an open front end, a closed rear end opposite the open front end, a slat between the closed rear end and the open front end, and a clip chamfer forming a top leading edge on the slat at the open front end;
• the spring leaf having a mounted end and a free end;
• the mounted end being mounted on the clip base at the closed rear end along the bottom side whereby the free end points toward the open front end;
• the tube retainer forming a bottom leading edge;
• and, the tube retainer being arranged at the free end so that the bottom leading edge is towards the open front end;
• wherein a table leg bar entering the open front end between the top leading edge and the bottom leading edge slides along the clip chamfer and the tube retainer, causing the spring leaf to flex outward and allowing the table leg bar to pass enough of the tube retainer so as to contact the closed rear end, thereby allowing the spring leaf to flex back, releasably trapping the table leg bar between the slat, the spring leaf, the tube retainer, and the closed rear end.
