Expandable and foldable mayo stand

Abstract

An expandable and foldable mayo stand has a support column having first and second ends and a longitudinal axis. A table top is connected to the first end of the support column, and a base is connected to the second end of the support column. The table top is formed in two halves having a hinge connection extending along a hinge axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, whereby the table top halves can be pivoted between an open position in which they are coplanar and a collapsed position in which they are substantially parallel. The base has a central portion with wings hinged thereto; each wing has a plurality of legs connected to it by respective pin connections, so that the legs can be folded from a deployed configuration to a compact storage configuration.
