  • Patent number: 6125771
    Abstract: A conformally folding table comprises a surface assembly and a support member adapted to pivotally attach the surface assembly to a structure such as a post or mast. The surface assembly comprises a plurality of surface members and is adapted, upon being pivoted into a stowed position, to fold or "wrap," by means of relative rotations between adjacent surface members, around the structure and into close conformance with it, so as to allow storage of the table in a minimum of space. When the table is to be used, the table is pivoted away from the structure into a deployed position and the surface members are unfolded or "unwrapped" to form a flat table surface. Preferred embodiments of the table also comprise one or more legs for stability and a lateral support member to help support the surface members in forming a flat table surface.
