Pivot connector for modular platform assemblies

A modular platform assembly, comprising:

• a base;
• a first tubular leg connected to the base;
• a second tubular leg connected to the base;
• a third tubular leg connected to the base;
• a fourth tubular leg connected to the base;
• a first pivot connector having a first connecting part having a first male pivot member including a first engagement surface and a first set of plurality of tabs that extend outward from the first engagement surface, and a first mounting member that is connected to the first male pivot member, and a second connecting part having a first female pivot member including a first wall that includes a first interior surface, a second engagement surface, and a first set of plurality of arcuate slots that extend through the first wall from the second engagement surface to the first interior surface, and a second mounting member that is connected to the first female pivot member, wherein the first connecting part is connectable to the second connecting part such that the first engagement surface of the first male pivot member is in engagement with the second engagement surface of the first female pivot member, each tab of the first set of plurality of tabs is receivable in a respective slot of the first set of the plurality of arcuate slots such that the first connecting part is pivotable with respect to the second connecting part around a first pivot axis over a limited range of motion, and each tab from the first set of plurality of tabs is engagement with the first interior surface of the first wall of the first female pivot member to restrain movement of the first male pivot member away from the first female pivot member along the first pivot axis, wherein the first connecting part is connected to the first tubular leg, the second connecting part is connected to the second tubular leg, and the first connecting part and the second connecting part cooperate to define a first bore that extends along the first pivot axis of the first pivot connector;
• a second pivot connector having a third connecting part having a second male pivot member including a third engagement surface and a second set of plurality of tabs that extend outward from the third engagement surface, and a third mounting member that is connected to the second male pivot member, and a fourth connecting part having a second female pivot member including a second wall that includes a second interior surface, a fourth engagement surface, and a second set of plurality of arcuate slots that extend through the second wall from the fourth engagement surface to the second interior surface, and a fourth mounting member that is connected to the second female pivot member, wherein the third connecting part is connectable to the fourth connecting part such that the third engagement surface of the second male pivot member is in engagement with the fourth engagement surface of the second female pivot member, each tab of the second set of plurality of tabs is receivable in a respective slot of the second set of the plurality of arcuate slots such that the third connecting part is pivotable with respect to the fourth connecting part around a second pivot axis over a limited range of motion, and each tab from the second set of plurality of tabs is engagement with the second interior surface of the second wall of the second female pivot member to restrain movement of the second male pivot member away from the second female pivot member along the second pivot axis, wherein the third connecting part is connected to the third tubular leg, the fourth connecting part is connected to the fourth tubular leg, and the third connecting part and the fourth connecting part cooperate to define a second bore that extends along the second pivot axis of the second pivot connector;
• a support rod that extends between and is supported by the first pivot connector and the second pivot connector, wherein the support rod is disposed in the first bore of the first pivot connector and is disposed in the second bore of the second pivot connector.
