Abstract
A simple combination of materials and machining that allows the assembly of four separate folding tables into a combined table tennis (i.e., ping pong) table. An edgebanding that is machined into a tongue and groove assembly on opposing table edges allows for the creation of a smooth and uniform playing surface when drawn together by a bolt and wing-nut assembly, This bolt and wing-nut assembly is designed to attach outside legs of the combining tables and create a tight juncture between the tongue and groove edges of the tables and provide the smooth and uniform playing surface This invention may be applied to tables of various thicknesses and materials.

A plurality of tables which may be joined to form a larger table, comprising:
- a first table having an edge banding on at least one side, the edge banding having a groove formed on a vertical side thereof;
- a second table having an edge banding on at least one side, the edge banding having a tongue formed on a vertical side thereof;
- a fastening means, for fastening the first table and second table together so that the tongue on the second table fits into the groove in the first table so as to form a substantially seamless table surface.
A table which may be joined with like tables to form a larger table, the table comprising:
- a first edge on at least one side, the first edge having a groove formed on a vertical side thereof;
- a second edge on at least one other side, the second edge banding having a tongue formed on a vertical side thereof;
- a fastening means, for fastening the table to another like table together so that the tongue on the second edge fits into a groove in a first edge of a like table so as to form a substantially seamless table surface.
