发明名称 Foldable table
摘要 A foldable table that provides a stable operational position in which the table legs may extend beyond the footprint of the table, and a folded, storage position in which the table legs may be tucked within the footprint of the table. An aspect provides table legs that may slide and pivot within sockets of a table top, to enable the legs to lock into the extended position and to also pivot flat against a horizontal undersurface of the table top.

主权项 1. A foldable table comprising: a table top comprising a plurality of sockets, wherein a first socket of the plurality of sockets defines a first rotational axis and a first radial direction that is radial to the first rotational axis; a plurality of legs, wherein a first leg of the plurality of legs is attached to the first socket, wherein the first leg comprises a first head portion and a first extension portion, wherein the first head portion rotates around the first rotational axis and along the first radial direction of the first socket, from a folded position to an extended position, wherein the first head portion of the first leg comprises a first post, wherein the first socket defines a first slot extending generally radial to the first rotational axis, wherein the first slot has a first lower end and a second upper end when the foldable table is viewed from a side view, wherein the first post of the first head portion is disposed in and slidable within the first slot, wherein in the folded position the first post is disposed at the first lower end of the first slot and the first head portion is rotatable within the first socket, wherein in the extended position the first post is disposed at the second upper end of the first slot and the first head portion is rotationally fixed within the first socket, wherein the first socket defines a first opening having a first ledge, wherein the first head portion has a first resilient tab, wherein in the extended position the first resilient tab is disposed within the first opening and against the first ledge to prevent movement of the first head portion within the first socket, wherein the first slot and the first ledge of the first socket and the first post and the first resilient tab of the first head portion are configured such that the first post is disposed at an uppermost position in the first slot when the first resilient tab engages the first ledge, wherein the first socket comprises a first face generally perpendicular to the first rotational axis, anda second face opposite to the first face and generally perpendicular to the first rotational axis,wherein the first face defines the first opening and the second face defines a second opening having a second ledge, wherein the first head portion of the first leg further comprises a second resilient tab that, when in the extended position, is disposed within the second opening and against the second ledge of the second opening, wherein the first resilient tab and the second resilient tab are temporarily deflectable such that, from the extended position, a first force applied to the first resilient tab deflects the first resilient tab such that the first resilient tab clears the first ledge, anda second force applied to the second resilient tab deflects the second resilient tab such that the second resilient tab clears the second ledge,at which point the first head portion of the first leg is movable in a direction away from the first socket, and wherein the first socket comprises a third face disposed generally in between the first face and the second face and wherein the first opening and the second opening are disposed at a narrowed section of an upper portion of the third face.
