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.

The present invention provides a table arrangement comprising a table moveably mounted to a table mounting structure, a compensation arrangement connected between the table and table mounting structure for reducing the force required to lift the table from a lowered position to a raised position, and a damper arrangement for reducing the speed of the table as it moves from the raised position to the lowered position, wherein the compensation arrangement is mounted on a shaft, such that as the table is lowered, the shaft rotates about its longitudinal axis and wherein the damping arrangement is arranged to act on the shaft to reduce the speed of its rotation about its longitudinal axis. The invention also provides an aircraft seat module and a method of deploying or stowing a table arrangement.

An open-top cargo box transformable into a picnic table with attached benches releaseably attaches to a skeleton carrier equipped with a draw bar that engages a vehicle receiver hitch. When configured as a cargo box, a first bench functions as a floor of the box, the centrally-folded table top functions as a rear wall, and the second bench functions as the front wall. Four side panels, each of which is rigidly secured to one end of a bench and pivotally secured to a corner of a table top half, function as side walls. When transformed into a table with attached benches, the first bench and its attached side panels are lifted upwardly and rotated rearwardly 270 degrees, while unfolding the table top. Detachable end braces interconnect the ends of both benches, forming a rigid structure. Two folding leg assemblies beneath each bench support the entire structure.

A portable desk apparatus that allows a user to enjoy a complete office experience is provided for. In a preferred embodiment, the portable desk is comprised of a separably attached desk portion and seat portion. The desk portion is preferably constructed out of a desk member, a slip light, a foldable cup holder, a desk support member, a desk attachment mechanism, a desk extension member, and at least one ground support member. The chair portion is preferably constructed out of a seat member, two pairs of legs equipped with two support members, and a foldable seat back member. The entire apparatus may be collapsed for each transportation or storage, and may be extended to be used as an office.

A collapsible desk system is provided. The desk system may include first and second elongate members having a common central pivot and being pivotal relative to one another in a scissor-like manner. A seat may be attached to one of the elongate members. A support member may be cooperable with the elongate members to selectively retain the elongate members in one or more orientations. A desk top may be pivotally attached to a column. The members, seat, column, and desk top may be arranged with one another to transition between at least a collapsed and an expanded position. A knee support may be mounted to one of the elongate members. The desk top may define a side face having a groove extending about at least a portion of a perimeter of the desk top and the groove may be sized to receive a first fastener tab of an accessory.

An integrated collapsible table and stool, comprising two table plates (10), two bench boards (20) and a hinging frame (30), wherein the table plates (10) are rotatably hinged to the hinging frame (30), the hinging frame (30) is movably connected to the table plates (10) and the bench boards (20) on the same side of the hinging frame (30) by a pair of supporting frames (40); the supporting frames (40) are symmetrically arranged at the front and rear ends of a fixing panel (36); the supporting frames (40) comprise vertical shafts (42), table plate supporting rods (44) connected to the upper end portions of the vertical shafts (42) and bench board supporting rods (46) connected to the lower end portions of the vertical shafts (42); the vertical shafts (42) are rotatably connected to the hinging frame (30); the bottoms of the bench board supporting rods (46) are used for support on the ground, and the tops of the bench board supporting rods (46) are connected to a cross bar (48); the cross bar (48) is rotatably and slidably connected to the bench boards (20) by a connecting member (50); the connecting member (50) is slidably connected to the bench boards (20), and the connecting member (50) is rotatably connected to the cross bar (48). The supporting frames (40) may stably support and connect the bench boards (20). In an opened state, two cross bars (48) at the bottom of the bench boards (20) are switched from the transverse direction to the longitudinal direction so as to support the bench boards (20) together and to make the bench boards (20) stable to use.
