11517105 · 2022-12-06 · ·

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.

Folding table with pull-out wheels and removable leaf
11478070 · 2022-10-25 ·

Disclosed is a folding table having a pair of frame ends that are pivotally connected together and first and opposite table top surfaces that are mounted on respective ones of the frame ends to be rotatable between a folded configuration at which the first and opposite table top surfaces lie face-to-face and an unfolded configuration at which the table top surfaces lie end-to-end. The folding table has a pair of pull-out wheels that are rotated between an inside position lying underneath the table top surfaces in the folded configuration and an outside position lying outside the table top surfaces in the unfolded configuration. The folding table also has a removable leaf pivotally connected to and rotatable around a pivot bar between a stowed position lying below one of the table top surfaces and a deployed position lying in end-to-end alignment with and between the table top surfaces to increase the length of the table.
