Disclosed are pivoting mechanisms, sliding mechanisms, frames and tables. A pivoting mechanism includes a first coupling piece, a second coupling piece and a rod. The first and second coupling pieces are pivotally coupled with each other. The rod is operated by gravity to automatically lock or unlock the first and second coupling pieces. A sliding mechanism generally includes a slider and a locking member. The slider includes a sleeve to be slidably coupled with a bar. The locking member includes a restriction piece, operated by an elastic piece to be disposed inside of the bar, to automatically lock the sleeve at a certain position of the bar.

A two-stage lock assembly comprising a multi-element lock tab configured for disposition in a lateral structure of a lock device. The multi-element lock tab may include a body that includes an end on which a first element and a second element are disposed. The first element may extend from the body farther than the second element to enable the first element to be introduced into a receiver prior to the second element. The multi-element lock tab may be configurable in a disengaged configuration in which the first element and the second element are not positioned in a receiver, a first engaged configuration in which the first element is positioned in the receiver and the second element is not, and a second engaged configuration in which the first and the second elements are positioned in the receiver.

The present disclosure relates to a support system for a gaming table including a first support bar of a gaming-table support, a second support bar of a gaming-table support, a third support bar of a gaming-table support, and a gaming-table support locking apparatus. The third support bar has an arcuate shape and is in a pivotable connection with the second support bar. The gaming-table support locking apparatus includes a first locking bar and a second locking bar. The second locking bar is configured to be in one of two states of being: a first state that allows the third support bar to rotate with respect to the second support bar; and a second state that prevents the third support bar to rotate with respect to the second support bar.

A foldable frame with enhanced stability includes a mounting assembly, a first leg assembly and a second leg assembly. Each of the first and second leg assemblies are pivotally coupled with the mounting assembly and rotatable with respect to the mounting assembly between a use position and a storage position. Each of the first and second leg assemblies includes a substantially straight first leg and a substantially straight second leg. The first and second legs are slanted outwardly to increase the supporting area and thus enhance the stability of the foldable frame and stability of other structures supported by the foldable frame.

A plastic molded lip structure may extend along a perimeter of a planar element and may include an outer wall, an inner wall, structural portions, and protruded features. The outer wall may extend in a normal direction from the planar element. The inner wall may be disposed in an inward direction relative to the outer wall. The structural portions may be disposed along structural sections of the perimeter and may include first portions of the inner wall and of the outer wall. The first portions may be disposed parallel to the inner wall and separated from the first portions by a first distance along the structural sections. The protruded features may be interposed between two structural portions and an inner wall may be separated from second portions of the outer wall by a second distance that is greater than the first distance.

A collapsible picnic table having a tabletop and table supports that extend downward from the bottom surface of the tabletop in a use position and are adjacent the bottom surface of the tabletop in a stored position. Seat supports, pivotally attached to a first seat, rotate simultaneously with and in the same direction as the table supports. In a use position, the seat supports extend downwards from the first seat and are adjacent the bottom surface of the first seat and extend outwards from the table supports in a first stored position. The seat supports are pivotally attached to the table supports and rotate orthogonally to the rotation of the table supports from the first stored position to a second stored position, where the seat supports are adjacent the bottom surface of the first seat and are adjacent the bottom of the tabletop and table supports.

Disclosed are pivoting mechanisms, sliding mechanisms, frames and tables. A pivoting mechanism includes a first coupling piece, a second coupling piece and a rod. The first and second coupling pieces are pivotally coupled with each other. The rod is operated by gravity to automatically lock or unlock the first and second coupling pieces. A sliding mechanism generally includes a slider and a locking member. The slider includes a sleeve to be slidably coupled with a bar. The locking member includes a restriction piece, operated by an elastic piece to be disposed inside of the bar, to automatically lock the sleeve at a certain position of the bar.

A table assembly may include a tabletop member having a lateral sidewall and a longitudinal sidewall. A cover may be pivotally connected to the tabletop member about a cover pivot. The cover may be configured to move from a closed position to a display position and may include a cover cavity having an interior wall. An adjustable length arm may include a first arm portion and a second arm portion. The first arm portion may be pivotally connected to the lateral sidewall of the tabletop member. The second arm portion may be pivotally connected to the interior wall of the cover. The cover may be configured to receive the tabletop member in the cover cavity when the cover is in the closed position. The cover pivot may be located nearer the longitudinal sidewall of the tabletop member than the first arm end portion.

A collapsible table has first and second tabletop portions. A pair of first side rails is attached to the first tabletop portion, and a pair of second side rails is attached to the second tabletop portion. First and second leg assemblies are pivotally connected between the first and second side rails. A pair of hinges rotatably connect the first side rails to the second side rails along a hinge axis. A serpentine central support tube includes one or more first tubular portions disposed to one side of the hinge axis toward the first tabletop portion, and one or more second tubular portions disposed to an opposing side of the hinge axis toward the second tabletop portion. The one or more first tubular portions support the first tabletop portion at its inner edge, and the one or more second tubular portions support the second tabletop portion at its inner edge.

A banquet table includes a reinforcing tabletop frame and a supporting frame. The reinforcing tabletop frame includes a reinforcing tabletop panel, which is made of mold-injected material, having two surrounding rims extended along two longitudinal sides of the reinforcing tabletop panel respectively, and a plurality of reinforcing arrangements spacedly embedded in the surrounding rims of the reinforcing tabletop panel respectively. The supporting frame includes two runners attached along the surrounding rims of the reinforcing tabletop panel via the reinforcing arrangements, and two leg frame pivotally attached at a bottom side of the reinforcing tabletop panel.
