LOCKING MECHANISM FOR A FOLDING TABLE

摘要

A foldable table may include a table top and legs that are movable between an extended position and a collapsed position. The table top may include a first section and a second section that are connected by a hinge assembly. A locking member may be sized and configured to lock the hinge assembly in a fixed position. Advantageously, moving the legs between the extended and collapsed positions may cause the locking mechanism to move between the locked and unlocked positions. Thus, when the legs are in the extended position and the locking mechanism is in the locked position, the table top may be secured in the unfolded position.

1. A locking mechanism for a folding table, the folding table including a table top and at least one support structure sized and configured to support the table top above a surface, the support structure movable between a use position and a collapsed position, the locking mechanism comprising:
a rotatable member connected to the table top, the rotatable member rotatable between a first position and a second position; a cross brace sized and configured to connect the rotatable member to a support structure, the rotatable member sized and configured to move between the first and second positions when the support structure is moved between the use and collapsed positions; a connecting member rotatably coupled to the rotatable member; and a locking member connected to the connecting member, the locking member movable between a locked position to secure the folding table in a fixed position and an unlocked position to allow the table to be folded and unfolded.
