Abstract
A foldable table includes a tabletop and a table supporting frame substantially supporting the tabletop thereon. The tabletop has an upper utilizing portion which has a top resting edge peripherally encircling therearound, and a bottom bottom supporting surface for the table supporting frame to be mounted thereon. The tabletop further has an engaging rim downwardly protruded from the bottom supporting surface to form an outer edge thereof and to define a storage cavity within the engaging rim, wherein the engaging rim has an engaging edge groove formed thereon which is shaped and sized to fittedly receive the top resting edge. Whereby, one foldable table is capable of securely stacking on another foldable table by making the top resting edge of the lower foldable table to receive in the engaging edge groove of the upper foldable table.
Claims20
A foldable table, comprising:
- a tabletop, including an upper utilizing portion having a top resting edge integrally and peripherally extended around said upper utilizing portion and a lower supporting portion having a bottom supporting surface formed thereon, wherein said lower supporting portion has an engaging rim integrally and downwardly extended from said bottom supporting surface to form an outer edge of said lower supporting portion and to define a storage cavity within said engaging rim and has an engaging edge groove indently and peripherally formed along an inner surface of said engaging rim that defines a predetermined depth, wherein said engaging edge groove is shaped and sized corresponding to a shape and size of said top resting edge;
- and
- a table supporting frame which comprises:
- a pair of leg frames pivotally and spacedly affixed to said bottom supporting surface in such a manner that said leg frames are capable of folding between a folded position and an unfolded position, wherein in said folded position, each of said leg frames is pivotally folded inwardly to be received in said storage cavity;
- means for retaining said leg frames in said folded position, wherein a receiving cavity is defined between the leg frames being folded and received in said storage cavity and an outer covering edge of said engaging rim and surrounded by said engaging edge groove;
- and
- means for retaining said leg frames in said unfolded position, wherein in said unfolded position, each of said leg frames is pivotally folded out of said storage cavity to perpendicular to said tabletop;
- and;
- whereby said foldable table is adapted to overlappedly stack on another foldable table by receiving said upper utilizing portion of said another foldable table in said receiving cavity of said foldable table while said top resting edge of said upper utilizing portion of said another foldable table is engaged in said engaging edge groove and surrounded by said engaging rim of said foldable table so as to substantially retain said two foldable tables in position and avoid a lateral relative movement between said foldable table and said another foldable tables.
A foldable table, comprising:
- a tabletop having an upper utilizing portion and a lower supporting portion having a bottom supporting surface;
- and
- a table supporting frame which comprises:
- a pair of leg frames pivotally and spacedly supported by said bottom supporting surface in such a manner that said leg frames are capable of folding between a folded position and an unfolded position, wherein in said folded position, said leg frames are pivotally folded on said bottom supporting surface, wherein in said unfolded position, each of said leg frames is pivotally folded out from said bottom supporting surface at a predetermined unfolded angle between each of said leg frames with said bottom supporting surface;
- a handle frame substantially mounted on a middle portion of said bottom supporting surface of said tabletop;
- means for retaining said leg frames in said unfolded position;
- and
- means for retaining said leg frames in said folded position.
