A foldable leg assembly adapted to permit a table top to be placed thereon, said assembly comprising:
- an adjacent pair of upright rail retaining legs, each of which has a rail accommodation chamber therein and an upper end provided with a fixed hollow rail retaining seat, each of said rail retaining seats having a vertical side wall, a horizontal top wall connected securely to an upper end of said side wall, and a retaining slot which extends from said top wall to said side wall and which is formed through said top and side walls, each of said hollow rail retaining seats having an interior space communicated with the rail accommodation chamber in a respective one of the rail retaining legs;
- an adjacent pair of upright rail positioning legs, each of which has an upper end provided with a fixed rail positioning seat, each of said rail positioning seats having a top surface formed with a generally straight positioning slot which has two open ends;
- four sliding blocks respectively and slidably sleeved on the rail retaining legs and the rail positioning legs, respectively;
- eight links each of which interconnects an adjacent pair of said rail retaining legs and said rail positioning legs and is pivoted to one of the sliding blocks at an end thereof and to one of said rail retaining legs and said rail positioning legs at the other end thereof, in such a manner that two of the links which are interposed between each adjacent pair of said rail retaining legs and said rail positioning legs are pivoted to each other at middle portions thereof so as to form an X-shape, thereby enabling said links to be folded on said legs by moving said blocks on said legs;
- and
- two parallel support rails, each of which has a first enlarged end and a second enlarged end that are sized so as not to pass through said retaining slot of a corresponding one of said rail retaining seats, thus confining said first enlarged ends of said rails within said rail retaining seats respectively while keeping said second enlarged ends of said rails outside of said rail retaining seats respectively, and each of which extends into said straight positioning slot in a corresponding one of said rail positioning seats so as to position said rails on said rail retaining legs and said rail positioning legs for placement of the table top on the rails, said second enlarged ends of said rails being capable of being removed manually from said rail positioning seats and then turned upward to erect said rails so as to permit said rails to fall into said rail accommodation chambers of said rail retaining legs, in order to fold said links on said rail retaining legs and said rail positioning legs for transportation and storage.
