Abstract
The invention relates to a knock down table suitable for food preparation that includes extension legs and terminal legs that are interconnected with a threaded connector and threaded receiving plugs in the connecting ends of the extension and terminal legs. One of the receiving plugs in each connection protrudes from the end of its legs and is configured to extend into the connecting leg and abut with the receiving plug in the other leg.
Claims12
A knock down food preparation table that comprises:
- a. a rectangular table top with a top side, an underside and four corners,
- b. four receiving sockets secured to the underside of said table top and located near each corner thereof,
- c. four tubular, extension legs of the same length and external dimensions, wherein each extension leg exhibits:
- i. a first leg portion end that fits into one of the receiving sockets on the underside of said table top, and
- ii. a second leg portion end having a first plug that is secured within said second leg portion end, each said first plug exhibiting an axially-extending, threaded, central bore, and
- d. a lower support frame comprising four, tubular, terminal legs that extend from front and back of a top side of said frame to a lower side of said frame, wherein each top end of each terminal leg comprises a second plug fit therein and that exhibits an axially-extending, threaded, central bore to receive a threaded rod so that a second leg portion end of an extension leg can be secured together with said threaded rod, whereby the second leg portion of an extension leg abuts a corresponding top side of a terminal leg around a first plug or a second plug, wherein one of said first plug or said second plug protrudes from its leg portion and extends into a tubular leg segment of the other leg when the first and second leg portions are fully twisted together.

A knock down table that comprises:
- a. a table top having a working top side and an underside having leg receiving sockets secured to the underside of the table top;
- b. a rigid, lower support frame comprising at least four, tubular, terminal legs that are welded to said support frame, each terminal table leg exhibiting a top end having a terminal leg plug fit therein and protruding from said top end, each terminal leg plug having a threaded, central bore dimensioned to receive a threaded rod;
- and
- c. four extension legs that each removably interconnect the table top and the support frame between a leg receiving socket on said table top and a threaded central bore of a corresponding terminal leg plug recessed in the leg that forms an annular space between said terminal leg plug and the end of the extension leg, each extension leg having an upper end that is dimensioned to fit within a receiving socket on the underside of said table top and a lower end having a threaded rod extending from the recessed plug to releasably engage the threaded bore of the protruding terminal leg plug of said lower support frame whereby the protruding portion of the terminal leg plug is drawn into the annular space of the extension leg as the threaded connection is made tight, thereby connecting the table top with the lower support frame.
