A foldable leg frame arrangement of a foldable table includes two runners extended along two longitudinal sides of a tabletop, a leg frame including a leg folding member, and a reinforcement unit. Each runner has a fastening hole formed at an inner side thereof. The leg folding member has two end portions rotatably inserted into the fastening holes of the runners respectively. The reinforcement unit includes two reinforcing shafts transversely extended from the runners respectively, wherein when the end portions of said leg folding member are rotatably inserted into the fastening holes of the runners respectively, the reinforcing shafts are inserted into the end portions of the leg folding member respectively. Therefor, the reinforcement unit not only forms a double lock configuration to securely mount the leg frame between the runners but also guides the leg frame to be rotated between a folded position and an unfolded position.

A folding table and seating arrangement includes a pair of table tops, each of the table tops having a table top frame. A folding framework supports the table tops and facilitates folding the table tops between a first position and a second position, the folding framework defining a rotational axis with each of the table tops. A folding assist system offset forces during folding and includes a mechanical strut assembly attached to the folding framework and providing a biasing force. Cap elements have a receiving portion inserting into an orifice in the table top frame and aligned with the rotational axis to receive a tubular cross. The cap elements provide low friction and have tabs that clip into corresponding slots in the table top frame.

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 large, thin, generally planar panel constructed from blow-molded plastic may include a first surface, a second surface, and a hollow interior portion disposed between the first and second surfaces. The panel may include a nominal panel thickness (PT), which may be the distance between the first surface and the second surface, and a nominal wall thickness (WT), which may be the thickness of the outer wall of the blow-molded plastic structure. A plurality of depressions may be integrally formed in the second surface and a nominal distance (D) separating adjacent depressions may be measured from an edge of one depression to an edge of the adjacent depression. The relationship between the nominal panel thickness, the nominal wall thickness, and the nominal distance between adjacent depressions is shown by the equation WT.Math.PT.Math.D≦0.030.

A folding table having first and opposite ends that are rotatable relative to one another to lie either face-to-face when the folding table is in a folded configuration or end-to-end when the folding table is in an unfolded configuration. The table includes a pair of pull-out wheels on which the table can roll in its folded configuration. A retractable chair rack can be pulled outwardly from one of the table ends to engage a stack of folding chairs to be transported when the table is in its folded configuration and functioning as a cart. The pair of pull-out wheels are pivotally coupled to the table and rotatable between a first position lying outside and adjacent opposite sides of the table when the table is in its folded configuration and a second position lying below the bottom of the table when the table is in its unfolded 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.
