A multi-tiered folding table, comprising:
- a first generally planar panel;
- a second planar panel pivotally secured along one side thereof to a side of said first panel for pivotal movement about a first axis in one direction between a first position extending generally normal to said first panel and a second folded position lying in a plane generally parallel to a plane containing said first panel;
- a third planar panel pivotally secured along one side thereof to a side of said second panel opposite to and remote from said first panel for pivotal movement about a second axis generally parallel to said first axis and in a direction opposite said one direction between a first position extending generally normal to said second panel and a second folded position lying in a plane generally parallel to a plane containing said second panel;
- said first panel having legs disposable in stored and supporting positions, said legs in said stored position extending generally parallel to said first panel and in said first panel supporting position extending from said first panel for supporting said first panel in a generally horizontal plane at a first elevation;
- said third panel having legs disposed in stored and supporting positions, said legs of said third panel in said stored position extending generally parallel to said third panel and in said third panel supporting position extending from said third panel for supporting said third panel in a generally horizontal plane at a second elevation different from said first elevation, said second panel in said first position, when said legs of said first and third panels lie in said first and third panel supporting positions, extending between and lying generally perpendicular to said first and third panels;
- said second and third panels being pivotal about said first and second axes, respectively, such that said first, second and third panels lie in generally parallel planes forming a compact portable folded multi-tiered table;
- each said first and third panels having a pair of legs pivotally connected thereto at respective opposite ends of said first and third panels for pivotal movement about axes extending generally normal to said first and second axes;
- each said first and third panels being generally rectilinear and having marginal flanges projecting therefrom about its perimeter, said legs of said first and third panels, when in said stored positions, lying within the peripheral confines of the respective panels and flanges, enabling the first, second and third panels to lie in generally parallel planes relative to one another when said legs lie in said stored positions, said legs of said third panel being longer than said legs of said first panel for supporting said third panel at said second elevation above said first elevation.
