Abstract: A table top with a flip mechanism has a frame of two spaced apart legs, each leg having two pivoting wheels, a spine connecting each leg, and a table top hingedly connecting to the spine for rotation off the center of the table. The spine and table top extend upon the longitudinal axis of the table. The spine has generally two parallel spaced apart members. The table top hingedly connects to one member and rests upon the other member when the table top is flat. Lifting the table from a longitudinal edge opposite the hinges, the table top pivots upon the hinges and rotates about the spine until upright. The upright table is then parallel to the legs and occupies a minimum footprint. Alternatively, the legs have wheels for easy movement of the table.

Abstract: A flip top table includes a table surface which is hingedly connected to a pedestal leg so that the table surface may be pivoted between a generally vertical storage position and a generally horizontal use position. The hinge which connects the table surface to the pedestal leg includes a lock mechanism which holds the table surface down when in its horizontal and usable position, a release which releases the lock and a latch or arm which will prevent the table surface from falling when it is in its vertical storage position.
