A connecting device includes a case (1), a first rod (2), a second rod (3), and a third rod (4) that are connected to the case (1). Two first connecting members (5) connect the second rod (3) and the third rod (4) to the case (1). A second connecting member (6) connects the first rod (2) to the case (1). The case (1) includes an upper housing (101) and a lower housing (102) that define a first receiving hole (10), a second receiving hole (11), and a third receiving hole (9), the second connecting member (6) and the two first connecting members (5) are received in the first receiving hole (10), the second receiving hole (11), and the third receiving hole (9), respectively.

A table is provided. The table defines a cutout region such that the table may be placed closely to a tree trunk or other upright element, with the table partially surrounding the element via the cutout region. The table may be particularly useful to provide enhanced decorative ability for decorative Christmas displays, decorative store displays, and the like.

Disclosed herein are foldable tables and methods for using the same. The foldable table can include at least one support member having a first and a second elongate support segments. The first support segment can be attachable to a platform. The second support segment can be slidably coupled to the first support segment along an elongate direction. The support member can be extendable between a contracted configuration and an extended configuration. In one example, at least one adjustable leg can be coupled to the support member and can be movable between a storage position and a support position. In one example, the foldable table includes a plurality of hingedly coupled tabletop panels. The first and second tabletop panels can be movable between a folded configuration and a deployed configuration.

A locking mechanism that is configured to automatically secure a first object to a second object when the objects are adjacent one another is disclosed. The locking mechanism selectively releases the objects from one another in response to the movement of a third object. The locking mechanism includes a latch having a base, a pivoting portion attached to the base, with the pivoting portion configured to pivotally secure the latch to the first object about an axis (A). The latch also includes a securing portion attached to the base. A receiving surface is configured to contact the second object as it comes into proximity with the first object and pivot the latch about the axis (A) in a first direction. The securing portion also includes a hook configured to automatically secure the second object to the first object when said objects are adjacent to one another.

A table has a bottom plate having a bottom plate channel and an outer wall. A bottom plate lip is perpendicular to the outer wall. A top plate has a top plate lip overlying and parallel to the bottom plate lip. A lower end of a frame is in the bottom plate channel and an upper end of the frame is in contact with the top plate. An edge piece clamps the top plate lip and the bottom plate lip together. The edge piece extends entirely around a perimeter of the top plate.

A foldable table includes a table top, a table top elevator configured to support the table top above an underlying floor, and a leg motion-control unit. The table top includes a left panel and a right panel pivotably coupled together to change between an expanded position and a collapsed position. The table top elevator includes left legs pivotably coupled to the left panel of the table top and right legs pivotably coupled to the right panel of the table top. The leg motion-control unit configured to control motion of the left and right legs.

A table is provided. The table defines a cutout region such that the table may be placed closely to a tree trunk or other upright element, with the table partially surrounding the element via the cutout region. The table may be particularly useful to provide enhanced decorative ability for decorative Christmas displays, decorative store displays, and the like.

A folding table has two table tops. A connecting piece of one table top is rotatably pivoted to a facing connecting piece of the other table top, wherein the connecting piece and the facing connecting piece are respectively disposed with a lock hole, the lock hole of the connecting piece is aligned with the lock hole of the facing connecting piece when the two table tops are unfolded; further comprising a lock element synchronously inserted to the lock hole of the connecting piece and the lock hole of the facing connecting piece to lock the connecting piece and the facing connecting piece and an elastic element to apply elastic force on the lock element to keep the lock element in the lock holes. The elastic element forces the lock element to be synchronously inserted to the two lock holes to lock the connecting piece and the facing connecting piece.

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.

An adjustable table apparatus and related method can include a table configured to adjust between an operative position and a collapsed position.
