  • Patent number: 6120397
    Abstract: An apparatus useful for playing table tennis. The apparatus includes a table top with a first pair of T-shaped legs. The first pair of legs are pivotally mounted to the bottom surface of the table top and are capable of pivoting about two axes. A second pair of legs capable of pivoting about one axis are also attached to the bottom surface of the table top. All four legs have a first position folded against the bottom surface of the table top. All four legs have a position unfolded from the table top that supports the weight of the table top when table tennis is being played. The pair of T-shaped legs also have a position in which they are pivoted such that the crossmember of the T-shape extends beyond an edge of the table top. The T-shaped legs are thus capable of supporting the table top when the table top is substantially vertical.
