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 comprising:
- a molded plastic table top, the molded plastic table top comprising:
- an upper portion of the table top forming a working surface of the table top;
- a lower portion of the table top forming a mounting surface of the table top, the lower portion of the table top spaced apart from the upper portion of the table top by a distance so that a hollow interior portion is at least partially disposed between the upper portion of the table top and the lower portion of the table top;
- and
- a plurality depressions in the lower portion of the table top, the depressions extending towards the upper portion of the table top, the depressions substantially covering the lower portion of the table top, the plurality of depressions comprising:
- a first row of at least ten depressions generally aligned parallel and disposed at least proximate a first side of the table top;
- a second row of at least ten depressions generally aligned parallel and disposed at least proximate the first side rail of the table top;
- a first row of at least ten depressions generally aligned parallel and disposed at least proximate a second side of the table top;
- and
- a second row of at least ten depressions generally aligned parallel and disposed at least proximate the second side rail of the table top;
- a first support pedestal connected to the table top, the first support pedestal movable between a collapsed position and an extended position relative to the table top;
- and
- a second support pedestal connected to the table top, the second support pedestal movable between a collapsed position and an extended position relative to the table top.

A table comprising:
- a table top constructed from molded plastic, the table top comprising:
- a working surface;
- a mounting surface;
- a plurality depressions including a generally uniform configuration and being integrally formed in the mounting surface of the table top, the depressions being disposed in a generally uniform pattern that covers at least a substantial portion of the mounting surface, each of the plurality of depressions extending towards the working surface of the table top, the depressions sized and configured to add support and structural integrity to the table top, the plurality of depressions comprising:
- a first row of at least ten depressions generally aligned parallel to a first side of the table top and extending along a length of the table top;
- a second row of at least ten depressions generally aligned parallel to the first side of the table top and extending along the length of the table top;
- a first row of at least ten depressions generally aligned parallel to a second side of the table top and extending along the length of the table top;
- and
- a second row of at least ten depressions generally aligned parallel to the second side of the table top and extending along the length of the table top;
- a first support pedestal movable between a collapsed position and an extended position relative to the table top;
- and
- a second support pedestal movable between a collapsed position and an extended position relative to the table top, the second support pedestal comprising a first support leg and a second support leg.
