  • Patent number: 5411314
    Abstract: A foldable table is disclosed that comprises three basic parts (a table top assembly, a bench assembly, and four leg assemblies) interactively coupled to form a sturdy table that is easily folded or unfolded. The leg assemblies are spring biased to swing out to the unfolded position and the bench assembly rests on the leg assemblies by the engagement of bench stops on the bench assembly with notches on the leg assemblies. The table is securable in either the folded or unfolded position so that the legs will not unfold when in the folded position unless securing means are released and so that the table will remain fixed in the unfolded position unless securing means are released.
