a table and seat that disassemble and come together to make an enclosed case, briefcase sized or larger
a means of quickly attaching and detaching a leg from a leg receptacle whereby:
- a) the leg receptacle consists of a mounting bracket and a leg housing which works to selectively fix a leg, said leg housing comprised of a tube shaped leg recess of interior diameter equivalent to the external diameter of the leg.
- b) said leg receptacle has a spring held lever externally mounted to said leg housing. Said spring held lever has a button at one end that fits into a hole in the leg housing, and through that hole, a hole in the leg. A spring works to hold the button side of the level against the leg housing, and so the button in the hole placed in said housing to accommodate it.
- c) a hole in the side of the leg so positioned to align with the hole in said leg housing receives the button catch when the leg is fully inserted into its leg housing.
- d) a spring on said lever works to hold the button in position so as to lock said leg in said leg housing, or with pressing on said lever, to release it.
a means of quickly attaching and detaching a furniture leg to furniture via a leg receptacle whereby
- a) a leg of certain external diameter fits closely into a leg housing of same or near same interior diameter.
- b) said leg receptacle has, in addition to said fitted leg housing, a lever operated cam nut clamp positioned such that with the leg inserted into said leg housing, said clamp by means of a simple motion of the cam nut lever works to fix said leg into said leg receptacle, or, once fixed, to release it.
