Abstract
The modular folding table includes a collapsible truss framework that supports a folding table top and a folding utility shelf, and includes legs that can be connected horizontally or vertically to the legs of one or more similar modular folding tables, to provide desired table and shelf space with a structure that is foldable, strong and stable.
Claims14
A modular folding table, comprising:
- a plurality of vertically disposed legs, each of said legs having an upper end and a lower end, each said lower end of said legs including a telescoping leg extension movable between a retracted position and an extended position, each telescoping leg extension being reversibly latchable in said retracted position and said extended position;
- a truss framework connected to each of said legs, said truss framework including a plurality of truss pairs of link members, each of said truss pairs including first and second link members having upper and lower ends, said first and second link members being pivotally connected together, said first end of said first link member being pivotally connected to the upper end of one of said legs, and said second end of said first link member being slidably connected to an adjacent one of said legs, said first end of said second link member being pivotally connected to the upper end of one of said legs, and said second end of said first link member being slidably connected to an adjacent one of said legs, and said first and second link members being pivotally connected together in a scissors configuration so as to be extendable horizontally from a collapsed configuration to an extended configuration, and each of said first and second link members including a table top support bracket mounted to said first and second link members between said upper and lower ends of said link members;
- a plurality of slider members slidably mounted to each of said plurality of vertically disposed legs, respectively, and said second ends of said link members being connected to corresponding slider members, respectively, for slidably connecting adjacent second link members of adjacent sides to corresponding vertically disposed legs, respectively;
- and
- a table top removably disposed on the upper ends of said legs and resting on said table top support brackets of said truss pairs of link members in said extended configuration.
