Folding table with locking member

A table comprising:

• a foldable table top including a first section and a second section, the first and second sections being moveable between an unfolded position and a folded position, the first and second sections being generally aligned in the same plane in the unfolded position, the first and second sections being generally disposed adjacent and parallel to each other in the folded position;
• a lower surface of the first section of the table top;
• a lower surface of the second section of the table top, the lower surface of the first section of the table top and the lower surface of the second section of the table top being generally aligned and disposed at least adjacent to each other when the table top is in the unfolded position;
• a hinge connecting the first section of the table top and the second section of the table top, the hinge providing an axis of rotation for the table top between the folded and the unfolded positions;
• and
• a cross member movable relative to the lower surfaces of the first and second sections between a locked position in which the table top is disposed in a fixed position and an unlocked position in which the table top is movable between the folded and unfolded positions, the cross member being a first distance from the lower surface of the first and second sections of the table top in the locked position, the cross member being a second distance from the lower surface of the first and second sections of the table top in the unlocked position, the first and second distances being different to allow the cross member to move between the locked and unlocked positions.

A method of using a table, the table including a first section and a second section, the first and second sections being moveable about an axis of rotation between an unfolded position in which the first and second sections of the table top are generally aligned in the same plane and an unfolded position in which the first and second sections are generally disposed adjacent and parallel to each other, a frame including a first portion connected to the first section and a second portion connected to the second section, the first portion of the frame rotatably connected to the second portion of the frame connected by a hinge, a locking member movable relative to the hinge, the locking member movable between a locked position in which the locking member is not aligned with the axis of rotation and an unlocked position in which the cross member is aligned with the axis of rotation, the locking member extending across a portion of the table top, a first leg and a second leg, the first and second legs movable between an extended position and a collapsed position relative to the table top, and a support connected to the first leg and the locking member, the method comprising:

• moving the first leg from the collapsed position towards the extended position relative to the table top,
• wherein the movement of the first leg from the collapsed position towards the extended position moves the locking member towards the locked position.
