Abstract
A folding table includes a pair of support pedestals, a longitudinal support rail, a pair of foldable support braces, and a table top. The longitudinal support rail extends in a longitudinal direction, and has opposite rail ends disposed respectively on top of intermediate segments of end rails of the support pedestals. Each of the support braces includes a pedestal connecting portion and a rail connecting portion. The pedestal connecting portion has a first end connected pivotally to a respective one of the support pedestals, and an opposite second end. The rail connecting portion has a first end connected pivotally to the support rail, and an opposite second end connected pivotally to the second end of the pedestal connecting portion. The support rail and the end rails against a bottom surface of the table top.

A folding table, comprising:
- a pair of support pedestals spaced apart from each other in a longitudinal direction, each of said support pedestals having a top end formed with an end rail that extends in a transverse direction transverse to the longitudinal direction, and a bottom end adapted to be placed on a ground surface, said end rail having distal end segments opposite to each other in the transverse direction, and an intermediate segment between said distal end segments;
- a longitudinal support rail that extends in the longitudinal direction and that has opposite rail ends disposed respectively on top of said intermediate segments of said end rails of said support pedestals;
- a pair of foldable support braces, each of which includes a pedestal connecting portion and a rail connecting portion, said pedestal connecting portion having a first end connected pivotally to a respective one of said support pedestals, and an opposite second end, said rail connecting portion having a first end connected pivotally to said support rail, and an opposite second end connected pivotally to said second end of said pedestal connecting portion;
- and
- a table top having a top surface and a bottom surface, said support rail abutting against said bottom surface of said table top, said end rails of said support pedestals being pivotally retained on said bottom surface of said table top wherein said bottom surface of said table top is formed with a longitudinal recess for receiving said support rail.
