FOLDING TABLE WITH LOCKING MEMBER

摘要

A table may include a table top and a leg assembly. The leg assembly may be moved between use and storage positions, and the movement of the leg assembly may move a cross member between a first position in which the cross member resists folding of the table top and a second position in which the cross member facilitates folding and unfolding of the table top. The table top may include first and second sections with portions that overlap and/or interlock when the table top is unfolded. When the table top is in the unfolded position, movement of the leg assembly towards the use position may move the cross member towards the overlapping and/or interlocking portions, which may move the overlapping and/or interlocking portions towards each other. When moved towards each other, the overlapping and/or interlocking portions may be securely connected.

主权项

1. A table comprising:
a foldable table top including a first section and a second section, the first and second sections being moveable about an axis of rotation 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 frame including a first portion connected to the first section of the table top and a second portion connected to the second section of the table top, the first and second portions of the frame rotatably connected about the axis of rotation; and a 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 locking member is aligned with the axis of rotation, the locking member preventing the rotating of the first and second portions of the frame about the axis of rotation in the locked position, the locking member allowing the rotation of the first and second portions of the frame about the axis of rotation in the unlocked position; wherein the locking member locks the first and second portions of the frame in a fixed position to prevent folding of the table top when the locking member is in the locked position; and wherein the locking member facilitates folding of the table top when the locking member is in the unlocked position.
