  • Publication number: 20140299026
    Abstract: A table may be sized and configured to nest with another table to reduce a height of a plurality of stacked tables in a nested configuration. The table may include a nesting portion formed in an upper surface and sidewall of the table top. The table may also include a frame with one or more engaging portions sized and configured to be disposed in the nesting portion of an adjacent table when the tables are nested together. In addition, the table top may include a compression edge sized and configured to be disposed in a nesting portion of an adjacent table when the tables are nested together. The compression edge and engaging portions may be sized and configured to be simultaneously disposed in the nesting portion of the adjacent table when the table is nested with the adjacent table.

  • Patent number: 8555790
    Abstract: 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 movable between folded and unfolded positions. A first portion of a side rail may be connected to the first section of the table top and a second portion of the side rail connected to the second section of the table top. A hinge assembly may connect the first and second portions of the side rail in an offset configuration. When the table is in the folded position, an inner surface of the first portion of the side rail may be disposed at least proximate an outer surface of the second portion of the side rail.

  • Patent number: 8408146
    Abstract: A table may be sized and configured to nest with an adjacent table to reduce a height of a plurality of stacked tables in a nested configuration. The table may include a molded plastic table top that has a receiving portion disposed proximate an outer perimeter of the table top. The receiving portion is sized and configured to receive an engaging portion of an adjacent, nested table. The table may also include a frame with a first load bearing surface sized and configured to contact a generally planar upper surface of another adjacent, nested table. The table may further include an engaging portion sized and configured to be disposed in a receiving portion of the adjacent, nested table. The nested tables are preferably substantially identical and aligned in the stacked configuration.
