Abstract: A folding picnic table includes a foldable table top and two or more seats. The foldable table top is preferably supported by a table top supporting assembly that is movable between an extended position and a collapsible position. Advantageously, the table top supporting assembly can be stored in the foldable table top when the picnic table is in the collapsed position. Desirably, each seat is supported by a seat supporting assembly that is movable between an extended position and a collapsible position. Preferably the seat supporting assembly is stored in a seat when the picnic table is in the collapsed position. The table top supporting assembly can further be folded into a fully folded position when the table top is folded to further reduce the size and dimensions of the picnic table when the picnic table is in the collapsed position.

Abstract: A utility table preferably includes a substantially planar table top with a generally flat top surface and a bottom portion. The table top is preferably constructed from blow-molded plastic and a lip may be formed on the bottom surface of the table top. The lip is preferably located along the outer periphery of the tabletop, but the lip could be located in any desired location. A plurality of connecting apertures is preferably formed in the lip. A first bushing or sleeve is configured to be disposed in each connecting aperture and a second sleeve may be disposed in an opposing connecting aperture. A table leg can be secured to the table top by connecting the table leg to a cross bar, inserting a sleeve into a connecting aperture and disposing an end of the cross bar into the sleeve. The lip may include other structures such as grooves or recesses which serve to distribute the weight of the table top.

Abstract: A table includes a table top and a table frame. The table frame preferably includes one or more side rails, end rails, table legs, and support braces. The table also includes a mounting structure that is provided on the underside of the table top. At least a portion of a support assembly is connected to the mounting structure. Preferably, one end of the support braces is pivotally attached to the support assembly and the other end is pivotally attached to a table leg.

Abstract: A table includes a table top that is preferably constructed from blow molded plastic. The table top includes a top surface, a bottom surface and a pair of spaced apart generally L-shaped brackets. The generally L-shaped brackets can be attached to or integrally formed with the bottom surface of the table top, and the generally L-shaped brackets are preferably sized and configured to attach a drawer to the table top. In greater detail, the generally L-shaped brackets may have a vertical portion and a bottom portion that is sized and configured to support the drawer. Additionally, generally L-shaped angle irons may be connected to the brackets to reinforce the brackets or the angle irons may be used to form the bottom portion of the L-shaped bracket.

Abstract: An adjustable dumbbell, comprises a primary section including a plurality of end structures, a handle and a weight selection structure configured to be advanced from the primary section and having a weight selection mark showing the amount of weight selected; and a plurality of nested weights each constructed from a pair of corresponding attached plates arranged in a longitudinal stack and each plate having a corresponding structure configured to accept the weight selection structure. In one embodiment, the weight selection structure includes a gear attached to the primary section for rotation by a user and a toothed rod coupled to the gear which is displaced into the nested weights a distance corresponding to the mark showing the amount of weight selected.

The lip is preferably disposed about the periphery of the table top, but the lip may be located in any desired location. A plurality of connecting apertures may be formed in the lip and the table legs can be directly connected to the connecting apertures. In addition, a first bushing or sleeve may be configured to be disposed in each connecting aperture and a second sleeve may be disposed in an opposing connecting aperture. A table leg can be secured to the table top by connecting the table leg to a cross bar, inserting a sleeve into a connecting aperture and disposing an end of the cross bar into the sleeve. The lip may also include other structures such as grooves or recesses which serve to distribute the weight of the table top.
