Scissor Table with Safety Spacer and Tabletop Locking System

A table, comprising:

• a) a stand configured to be disposed on a support surface;
• b) a tabletop removably coupled to and disposable upon the stand;
• c) the tabletop and the stand being coupled together with a snap-fit comprising detents between the tabletop and the stand;
• d) locking brackets coupled to an underside of the tabletop and each receiving a different portion of the stand;
• e) each bracket having a slot to receive a respective portion of the stand therein:
• f) each bracket having a detent carried by the bracket on one side of the slot, and biased into the slot, and into a hole in a side of the respective portion of the stand;
• and
• g) each bracket having an angled side wall on one side of the bracket opposite the detent, the angled side wall forming an acute angle with respect to the tabletop to allow the tabletop to pivot with respect to the portion of the stand when being removed or installed on the stand.

A table, comprising:

• a) a stand configured to be disposed on a support surface;
• b) a tabletop removably coupled to and disposable upon the stand;
• c) the stand comprising a pair of leg frames pivotally coupled together at an intersection between the pair of leg frames, the pair of leg frames comprising adjacent spars with each of the spars associated with a different one of the pair of leg frames, and with the adjacent spars pivotally coupled together at the intersection, the leg frames pivoting about a pivot axis perpendicular to the tabletop when disposed on the stand;
• d) the leg frames pivoting between an open use configuration in which the pair of leg frames traverse one another substantially perpendicularly, and a closed storage configuration in which the pair of leg frames are adjacent one another;
• e) a safety spacer disposed between the adjacent spars of the pair of leg frames and separating the adjacent spars;
• f) the safety spacer having a thickness so that the adjacent spars are spaced-apart by a gap greater than ¾″ to resist pinching a user's fingers in a scissor effect between the adjacent spars as the leg frames pivot between the open use configuration and the closed storage configuration;
• g) the tabletop and the stand being coupled together with a snap-fit comprising detents between the tabletop and the stand;
• h) each detent being biased into a respective hole along an axis between the detent and the respective hole;
• and
• i) each detent having a tapered head with a reduced diameter engageable with and bearable against a perimeter of the respective hole such that a lesser applied force applied transverse to the axis maintains the tapered head in the respective hole, while a greater applied force applied transverse to the axis displaces the tapered head along the axis out of the respective hole;
• j) locking brackets coupled to an underside of the tabletop and each receiving a different portion of the stand;
• k) each bracket having a slot to receive a respective portion of the stand therein;
• l) each detent carried by a respective locking bracket on one side of the slot;
• and
• m) each bracket having an angled side wall on one side of the bracket opposite the detent, the angled side wall forming an acute angle with respect to the tabletop to allow the tabletop to pivot with respect to the portion of the stand when being removed and/or installed on the stand.
