Abstract
An anti-folding leg assembly for a tabletop includes a leg frame for pivotally coupling at a bottom side of the tabletop to pivotally move between a folded position and an unfolded position, and an anti-folding arrangement including a table support having has a table coupling end adapted for pivotally coupling at the bottom side of the tabletop, and a leg support having a leg coupling end pivotally coupled at the leg frame. A pivot point is defined at a pivot connection between the table support and the leg support, and a centerline is defined between the table coupling end of the table support and the leg coupling end of the leg support when the leg frame is moved in the unfolded position, wherein the pivot point is located below the centerline when the leg frame is moved in the unfolded position.
Claims22
An anti-folding leg assembly for a foldable table having a tabletop, comprising:
- at least a leg frame adapted for pivotally coupling at a bottom side of said tabletop to pivotally move between a folded position and an unfolded position;
- and
- at least an anti-folding arrangement for retaining said leg frame in said unfolded position, wherein said anti-folding arrangement comprises a table support having a table coupling end adapted for pivotally coupling at said bottom side of said tabletop, and a leg support having a leg coupling end pivotally coupled at said leg frame, wherein said table support and said leg support are pivotally coupled with each other and define a folding angle of said anti-folding arrangement greater than 180° to form a non-linear configuration of said anti-folding arrangement when said leg frame is moved from said folded position to said unfolded position.
An anti-folding arrangement for a foldable table having a tabletop and a leg frame pivotally coupled at a bottom side of said tabletop to pivotally move between a folded position and an unfolded position, wherein said anti-folding arrangement comprises:
- a table support having has a table coupling end adapted for pivotally coupling at said bottom side of said tabletop;
- and
- a leg support having a leg coupling end adapted for pivotally coupling at said leg frame, wherein said table support and said leg support are pivotally connected with each other to define a pivot point and a centerline between said table coupling end of said table support and said leg coupling end of said leg support when said leg frame is moved in said unfolded position, wherein said pivot point is located below said centerline to form a non-linear configuration of said anti-folding arrangement when said leg frame is moved in said unfolded position.
A foldable table, comprising:
- a tabletop having a bottom side;
- at least a leg frame pivotally coupled at said bottom side of said tabletop to pivotally move between a folded position and an unfolded position;
- and
- at least an anti-folding arrangement for retaining said leg frame in said unfolded position, wherein said anti-folding arrangement comprises a table support having a table coupling end pivotally coupled at said bottom side of said tabletop, and a leg support having a leg coupling end pivotally coupled at said leg frame, wherein said anti-folding arrangement has a pivot point defined at a pivot connection between said table support and said leg support, and a centerline between said table coupling end of said table support and said leg coupling end of said leg support when said leg frame is moved in said unfolded position, wherein said pivot point is located below said centerline to form a non-linear configuration of said anti-folding arrangement when said leg frame is moved in said unfolded position.
