Variable height table

摘要

A folding table movable between a folded position and a plurality of upright positions is disclosed. Each of the upright positions corresponds to a different table height. The folding table includes a table top and a scissor-folding table base assembly having first and second legs. The second leg is slidably retained adjacent a lower surface of the table top, and the first and second legs are pivotably connected to one another to form an X-shape. A clamp having a plurality of retaining notches retains the second leg against the lower surface of the table top. Movement of the second leg from a first retaining notch to a second notch causes the table to move from a first to a second upright position, having a different tabletop height. The table legs may also be collapsed into a folded position.

主权项

1. A variable height table, comprising:
a table top having an upper surface and a lower surface and a table top height; a pair of tracks attached to the lower surface of the table top, each of the tracks having a gap; a scissor-folding table base assembly including a first leg and a second leg, the first and second legs each having an elongate diagonal member, an upper cross-member attached to a first end of the elongate diagonal member, and a lower foot member attached to a second end of the elongate diagonal member,
wherein the first leg upper cross-member is fixedly rotatably connected to the lower surface of the table top, the second leg upper cross-member having ends which are slidably retained within the pair of tracks adjacent the lower surface of the table top, and the first and second legs are pivotably connected to one another, at a position on each leg between the first and the second ends of the legs, so as to form an X-shape; and a clamp, having a plurality of retaining notches for retaining the second leg upper cross-member, and biased against the lower surface of the table top by a spring, wherein the ends of the second leg upper cross-member may be inserted or removed from the pair of tracks through the gaps in the tracks, and wherein movement of the second leg upper cross-member from a first of the retaining notches to a second of the retaining notches causes the legs to pivot relative to one another and varies the table top height from a first height to a second height.
