Abstract
A folding utility table includes a table top having a pair of support pedestals pivotally attached. A first pivotal support brace includes a distal end and a proximal end attached to the first support pedestal. A second pivotal support brace includes a distal end and a proximal end attached to the second support pedestal. In addition, the support pedestals may comprise at least one support leg, and each support leg of the first and second support pedestals may be laterally offset from each other so as to permit an offset displacement of the support legs when the support pedestals are disposed in a collapsed position.
Claims20
A table top constructed from molded plastic, the table top comprising:
- an upper surface;
- a lower surface spaced apart from the upper surface by a distance, at least a portion of the upper surface and at least a portion of the lower surface enclosing at least a portion of the hollow interior portion of the table top;
- a lip extending downwardly from the lower surface of the table top, the lip disposed at least proximate a first side of the table top;
- an elongated frame member disposed at least proximate an interior surface of the lip;
- and
- a channel disposed between at least a portion of the interior surface of the lip and the elongated frame member;
- wherein the lip, the elongated frame member and the channel are disposed in a generally parallel configuration.
A molded plastic table top comprising:
- an upper surface;
- a lower surface spaced apart from the upper surface by a distance;
- a hollow interior portion, at least a portion of the upper surface and at least a portion of the lower surface enclosing at least a portion of the hollow interior portion of the table top, the upper surface, the lower surface and the hollow interior portion being integrally formed as part of a unitary, one-piece structure;
- a lip extending downwardly from the lower surface of the table top, the lip disposed at least proximate a first side of the table top;
- an elongated frame member disposed at least proximate an interior surface of the lip;
- and
- a plurality depressions including a generally uniform configuration and being integrally formed in the lower surface as part of a unitary, one-piece structure, the depressions being disposed in a generally uniform pattern that covers at least a substantial portion of the lower surface, the depressions sized and configured to increase the strength of the table top, at least five depressions of the plurality of depressions generally aligned with and disposed parallel to an inner surface of the elongated frame member.
