  • Patent number: 6085669
    Abstract: A new and improved multi-purpose table includes a tabletop which may be rotated between a lowered, horizontal position for use and a raised vertical position for storage. A plurality of the multi-purpose tables in their raised storage position may be stacked together in a high density nested and stacked array. The table includes a load bearing structure including a vertical frame member having an underside portion and an opposed upside portion and a divergent V-shaped frame member having a pair of divergent angled leg portions. The vertical height of the V-shaped frame is less than the height of the vertical frame member to permit nested stacking. The tabletop is hingedly pivotally mounted to the upside of the vertical frame member. In a preferred embodiment, rollers are rotatably mounted to the underside portion of the vertical frame member.
