  • Publication number: 20160270522
    Abstract: A folding table may include a tabletop, a frame, a truss support structure, and support structures. The tabletop may include a first tabletop section and a second tabletop section that are generally aligned in the same plane in the unfolded position and are disposed generally adjacent and parallel in the folded position. The frame is connected to the tabletop and may include a side rail with a first rail section connected to the first tabletop section and a second rail section connected to the second tabletop section. The truss support structure may be connected to the first rail section and the second rail section of the side rail. The truss support structure extends across an interface between the first and second tabletop sections in the unfolded position. The support structures may support the tabletop above a surface.
