Abstract
The invention relates to a folding table including: two tabletop members that are coupled to each other pivotably with one edges of the tabletop members serving as an axis, and are able to be folded; leg members that are disposed on a lower surface of a tabletop formed by unfolding the two tabletop members; a separation biasing unit that causes two leg members to move away from each other; and a movably coupling unit that couples the leg members to the tabletop members in such a manner as to be moveable from the one edge side to the other edge side. When the tabletop members are pivoted to unfold the tabletop, the separation biasing unit and the movably coupling unit cause the leg members to be unfolded along the lower surface of the tabletop.

A folding table comprising:
- two tabletop members that are pivotally coupled a pivot and are able to be folded such that each of lower surface sides thereof face each other, each of the two tabletop members comprising one edge and other edge, the one edge and the other edge being disposed parallel to an axis of the pivot;
- a plurality of leg members that are disposed on a lower surface of a tabletop formed by unfolding the two tabletop members with respect to the axis of the pivot, in order to support the tabletop;
- a separation biasing unit that biases two of the plurality of leg members with elastic force and causes the two leg members to move away from each other so that the two leg members are positioned opposite each other with respect to the axis of the pivot;
- and
- a movably coupling unit that couples the leg members to the tabletop members in such a manner that each of the two leg members are moveable from a side of the one edge to a side of the other edge, wherein
- when the tabletop members are unfolded to form the tabletop, the separation biasing unit and the movably coupling unit cause each of the two leg members to be unfolded from the side of the one edge to the side of the other edge along the lower surface of the tabletop, as the tabletop members pivot.
