Fold-in-half table having planar cross brace

A planar cross brace for stiffening a tabletop of a fold-in-half collapsible table includes an elongate rectangular planar portion having elongate opposing side edges and narrow opposing end edges that are perpendicular to the side edges. A pair of opposing tabs extend from the opposing end edges in a direction perpendicular to the rectangular planar portion. A pair of opposing ribs extend from the opposing side edges in a direction perpendicular to the rectangular planar portion, thereby forming an elongate channel having a U-shaped cross section. The planar cross brace stiffens the inner edge of the tabletop portion to which it is attached, and the stiffening is independent of any connection to the inner edge of the other tabletop portion. This eliminates any need for interlocking features on the inner edges of the tabletop portions, such as those required by prior art tables.

A foldable table may include a tabletop and legs that are movable between an extended position and a collapsed position. The tabletop may include a first section and a second section that are connected by a hinge assembly. A locking mechanism may be sized and configured to lock the hinge assembly in a fixed position. The locking mechanism may include a locking member, and the locking member may be a unitary, one-piece structure. The locking member may be rotatably connected to a connector of the hinge assembly. The locking member may be connected to a locking structure that is movable between a locked position and an unlocked position. The locking member may be sized and configured to bias the locking structure into the locked position.

Foldable table with auxiliary support
11533987 · 2022-12-27 · ·

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.

MULTI-PURPOSE PORTABLE PLATFORM STAGE

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.

Foldable table with auxiliary support

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.

Work Structure for Use with Modular Storage System
