  • Locking mechanism for a folding table
    Patent number: 9277808
    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 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.

  • Folding table
    Patent number: 9192230
    Abstract: A folding table may include a table top and legs that are movable between an extended position and a collapsed position. The table top may be divided into a first section and a second section, and a hinge assembly may connect the first and second sections of the table top to allow the table to be selectively moved between folded and unfolded positions. In addition, a support frame may be connected to the first and second table top sections. The table top may include a downwardly extending lip with one or more engaging portions and receiving portions. The engaging portions may be at least partially disposed within corresponding receiving portions when the table is in the folded position. The engaging portions and receiving portions may be spaced apart when the table is in the unfolded position.

  • Folding table with locking member
    Patent number: 9101209
    Abstract: A table may include a table top and a leg assembly. The leg assembly may be moved between use and storage positions, and the movement of the leg assembly may move a cross member between a first position in which the cross member resists folding of the table top and a second position in which the cross member facilitates folding and unfolding of the table top. The table top may include first and second sections with portions that overlap and/or interlock when the table top is unfolded. When the table top is in the unfolded position, movement of the leg assembly towards the use position may move the cross member towards the overlapping and/or interlocking portions, which may move the overlapping and/or interlocking portions towards each other. When moved towards each other, the overlapping and/or interlocking portions may be securely connected.
