Abstract: Disclosed are pivoting mechanisms, sliding mechanisms, frames and tables. A pivoting mechanism includes a first coupling piece, a second coupling piece and a rod. The first and second coupling pieces are pivotally coupled with each other. The rod is operated by gravity to automatically lock or unlock the first and second coupling pieces. A sliding mechanism generally includes a slider and a locking member. The slider includes a sleeve to be slidably coupled with a bar. The locking member includes a restriction piece, operated by an elastic piece to be disposed inside of the bar, to automatically lock the sleeve at a certain position of the bar.

Abstract: A foldable table includes first and second panels, first and second mounting assemblies coupled respectively with the first and second panels, and first and second leg assemblies coupled respective with the first and second mounting assemblies. Each of the first and second panels is formed with upper and lower panel surfaces spaced apart at a first distance. Each of the first and second panels is also formed with a ridge or protrusions or both of the ridge and protrusions. A lower surface of the ridge is spaced apart from the upper panel surface at a second distance equal to or less than two times the first distance. A lower surface of each protrusion is spaced apart from the upper panel surface at a third distance equal to or less than 1.5 times the first distance. Thus, when folded, the table has a minimized thickness.

Abstract: A blow-molded unitary structure includes a panel having first and second panel walls and a generally hollow interior between the first and second panel walls. The structure also includes one or more different types of strengthening elements monolithically formed with the panel and across a substantial portion of the panel to enhance the strength of the structure. A strengthening element can be a depression recessing from the second panel wall toward an interior of the panel, a protrusion protruding from the second panel wall toward an exterior of the panel, a rib protruding outwardly toward the exterior of the panel and a trench formed by side walls of adjacent protrusions.

Abstract: A table includes a tabletop and a frame supporting the tabletop. The frame includes a mounting assembly, first and second leg assemblies coupled with the mounting assembly, and first and second supporting assemblies to control rotation of the first and second leg assemblies. The frame also includes one or more couplers disposed at a mounting member of the mounting assembly to connect the mounting assembly with the first and second supporting assemblies or to connect the mounting assembly with the tabletop.

Abstract: A foldable frame includes first and second mounting assemblies pivotally coupled with each other at their proximal sides. The foldable frame also includes first, second and third leg assemblies, each having an upper member coupled with one or more of the first and second mounting assemblies and a base member abutting a ground when in use. The upper members of the first, second and third leg assemblies are substantially parallel to each other, with a distance between the upper members of the first and third leg assemblies different than a distance between the upper members of the second and third leg assemblies. As a result, when folded, the base members of the first, second and third leg assemblies are disposed side by side along a longitudinal direction of the foldable frame.

Abstract: A foldable frame includes first and second mounting assemblies pivotally connected to each other and rotatable with respect to each other between a folded position and an unfolded position. A foldable frame also includes one or more retainers. A retainer has a first coupler and a second coupler, with one disposed at the first mounting assembly and the other at the second mounting assembly. When the first and second mounting assemblies are in the folded position, the first and second couplers of each retainer engage with each other, and thus retain the first and second mounting assemblies in the folded position and prevent the foldable frame from accidental unfolding.

Abstract: A foldable table includes a supporting frame, tabletop and auxiliary support. The supporting frame includes first and second mounting assemblies pivotally connected to each other. The tabletop includes first and second panels coupled with the first and second mounting assemblies such that the first and second panels are rotatable with respect to each other between a folded position and an unfolded position. The auxiliary support includes an auxiliary bar and one or more linking assemblies. The auxiliary bar is coupled with the supporting frame, and each of one or more linking assemblies is coupled with the first and second panels. When the first and second panels are in the unfolded position, each of the one or more linking assemblies abuts the auxiliary bar toward the first and second panels. As such, the auxiliary support provides support to the first and second panels and enhances stability of the foldable table.

One of the first and second structures is a table and the other of the first and second structures is a bench. A linking assembly includes a linking member, which has a first end portion connected to the first structure and a second end portion detachably connected to the second structure. When the second end portion is disconnected from the second structure, the linking member is retractable or rotatable toward the first structure.

Abstract: A foldable frame with enhanced stability includes a mounting assembly, a first leg assembly and a second leg assembly. Each of the first and second leg assemblies are pivotally coupled with the mounting assembly and rotatable with respect to the mounting assembly between a use position and a storage position. Each of the first and second leg assemblies includes a substantially straight first leg and a substantially straight second leg. The first and second legs are slanted outwardly to increase the supporting area and thus enhance the stability of the foldable frame and stability of other structures supported by the foldable frame.

Abstract: A foldable table includes a tabletop, first and second table leg assemblies, and first and second supporting assemblies. Each of the first and second table leg assemblies is pivotally coupled with the tabletop and rotatable with respect to the tabletop between a use position and a storage position. The first supporting assembly is pivotally coupled with the tabletop and first table leg assembly, and the second supporting assembly is pivotally coupled with the tabletop and second table leg assembly. Each of the first and second supporting assemblies includes first and second supporting members slidably and rotatably coupled with each other such that sliding and rotating movement between the first and second supporting members of a respective supporting assembly allows a corresponding table leg assembly to rotate with respect to the tabletop between the use and storage positions.

Abstract: A picnic table includes a table panel, one or more bench panels, and first and second supporting assemblies. Each supporting assembly includes a table support and one or more bench supports. The table support is connected to the table panel and rotatable with respect to the table panel in a first direction. Each bench support is connected to a corresponding bench panel and rotatable with respect to the corresponding bench panel in the first direction. Each bench support is also connected to the table support and rotatable with respect to the table support in a second direction that is different than the first direction. As a result, each supporting assembly is foldable to the table and bench panels, and each bench panel is foldable to the table panel. When folded, the picnic table is compact and portable.

Abstract: A foldable table includes a supporting frame, a tabletop and an auxiliary support. The supporting frame includes first and second mounting assemblies pivotally connected to each other at their proximal sides. The tabletop includes a first panel coupled with the first mounting assembly and a second panel coupled with the second mounting assembly such that the first and second panels are rotatable with respect to each other between a folded position and an unfolded position. The auxiliary support includes an auxiliary bar coupled with the supporting frame or the tabletop. When the first and second panels are in the unfolded position, the auxiliary bar is disposed between and coupled with the proximal sides of the first and second panels. As such, the auxiliary support helps align the first and second panels or prevent the proximal sides of the first and second panels from warping, sagging, dislocation or misalignment.

Abstract: A mounting structure for a bedstead includes a side rail and a cross rail of the bedstead. The side rail and the cross rail are connected by a connecting member and an inserting member. The connecting member includes a body. The body is provided with a U-shaped groove in which the cross rail is clamped and a first hole located in a middle part of the U-shaped groove. The side rail is provided with a second hole matching with the first hole; and the inserting member is connected to the cross rail after sequentially passing through the second hole and the first hole. The use of the connecting member and the inserting member allows a quick and detachable connection between the side rail and the cross rail, facilitating storage and transportation.

The body is fixedly connected with an end of the first or second outer lateral bar unit, and the supporting piece is rotatably connected with an adjacent first or second longitudinal bar unit. The collapsible bed frame can contract and expand while the lateral and longitudinal bar units are connected with each other.

Abstract: Disclosed are adjustable supports and bedsteads. An adjustable support includes an inner bar with one or more cuts and an outer tubular bar with a slot. The inner and outer bars are movably coupled with each other. The adjustable support also includes a mechanism coupled with the outer bar at a position corresponding to the slot of the outer bar. When a cut of the inner bar is aligned with the slot of the outer bar, the mechanism engages with both the cut of the inner bar and the slot of the outer bar, and thus restricts the inner and outer bars from moving with respect to each other.
