Abstract
A folding table includes a table top and a table top elevator. A hinge unit is coupled between panels of the table top to allow the folding table to be folded.
Claims21
A folding table comprising
- a table top including a first panel and a second panel,
- a hinge unit arranged to extend between and interconnect the first panel and the second panel to cause the first panel to pivot about a pivot axis relative to the second panel between an expanded-use position in which the first and second panel are arranged in generally co-planar relation to one another and a collapsed-storage position in which the first and second panels are arranged in confronting relation to one another, and
- a table top elevator including a support leg coupled to the first panel to move there with and relative thereto from a stowed position in which the support leg is arranged to extend along the table top to a support position in which the support leg is arranged to extend away from the table top and a table-locker leg coupled to the second panel to move there with and relative thereto from an unlocked position in which the table-locker leg is arranged to extend along the table top and located within a perimeter of the second panel to a locked position in which the table-locker leg is arranged to extend away from the table top and extend past the perimeter of the second panel to engage and mate with the support leg to establish lock means for blocking movement of the table top from the expanded-use position to the collapsed-storage position when the table-locker leg is in the locked position so that the table top remains in the expanded-use position.
