Abstract
A table may include a table top and one or more support members that are sized and configured to support the table top above a support surface. The support members may be connected to the table top by a connecting member, which may have a generally L-shaped configuration, and a plurality of brackets. The brackets are preferably spaced away from the side rails of a frame, but the brackets are preferably spaced near or contact the end rails of the frame. If desired, the brackets may be formed integrally with or be securely connected to the end rails of the frame.
Claims20
A table comprising:
- a table top constructed from molded plastic and including a hollow interior portion that is formed during the molding process;
- a frame including a first side rail and a second side rail, the frame disposed at least proximate an outer portion of the table top;
- a first bracket connected to the table top, the first bracket being spaced apart from the side rails of the frame;
- a second bracket connected to the table top, the second bracket being spaced apart from the side rails of the frame;
- a connecting member movably connected to the first bracket and the second bracket, the connecting member being at least partially disposed between the side rails, the connecting member being spaced apart from the side rails;
- and
- a support member connected to the connecting member, the support member being movable relative to the table top between an extended position in which the support member generally extends outwardly from the table top and a collapsed position in which the support member is generally positioned between the side rails of the frame.

A table comprising:
- a table top constructed from molded plastic and including a hollow interior portion that is formed during the molding process;
- a support member movable relative to the table top between an extended position in which the support member generally extends outwardly from the table top and a collapsed position in which the support member is generally positioned adjacent the table top;
- a first bracket connected to the table top;
- a second bracket connected to the table top;
- and

A table comprising:
- a table top constructed from blow-molded plastic, the table top including a generally planar lower surface with no outwardly extending projections, the table top including a hollow interior portion that is formed during the blow-molding process;
- a frame connected to the generally planar lower surface of the table top, the frame including a first side rail, a second side rail, a first end rail and a second end rail;
- a first bracket disposed proximate the first end rail and spaced apart from the side rails;
- a second bracket disposed proximate the first end rail and spaced apart from the side rails;
- a third bracket disposed proximate the second end rail and spaced apart from the side rails;
- a fourth bracket disposed proximate the second end rail and spaced apart from the side rails;
- a first support member connected to the first bracket and the second bracket, the first support member movable relative to the table top between an extended position in which the first support member generally extends outwardly from the table top and a collapsed position in which the first support member is generally positioned between the side rails of the frame;
- and
- a second support member connected to the third bracket and the fourth bracket, the second support member movable relative to the table top between an extended position in which the second support member generally extends outwardly from the table top and a collapsed position in which the second support member is generally positioned between the side rails of the frame.
