A table with a seamless tippable tabletop and a method of its use are configured for ease of maneuvering between the deployed and stowed position and compact stacking. A latch assembly may have a first latch that releasably retains the tabletop in the deployed position and a second latch that releasably retains the tabletop in the stowed position. The first latch may utilize a pin selectively engaging a corresponding catch to latch the tabletop in position and a manually operated handle to unlatch the tabletop from position. The second latch may utilize a pin selectively engaging a corresponding catch to latch the tabletop in position and unlatch the tabletop from position under a tilting force tending to move the tabletop from the stowed position to the deployed position. Counterweights may be mounted on or in the bottom surface of the tabletop to control movement of the tippable tabletop.

There is provided a hinge including a first hinge member that is L-shaped. The hinge includes a second hinge member hingedly coupled to the first hinge member and L-shaped at least in part.

There is also provided a folding table with a tabletop. The folding table includes at least one leg. The folding table includes a hinge mechanism coupled to the tabletop and the leg so as to enable the leg to move from a stored position to a deployed position. The folding table includes one or more of: i) a brace configured to support the leg in the deployed position and integrally connected to and formed with the hinge mechanism; and ii) a locking mechanism which when actuated is configured to inhibit movement of the leg from the deployed position to the stored position, with the locking mechanism being integrally connected to and formed with the hinge mechanism.

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.

A frame of a furniture is disclosed, comprising a bearing, which is provided for rotatably mounting of a foldable pillar about an axis, and a fixation which is provided for receiving and fixing the foldable pillar. The frame is designed in a way, that fixing can be realized by clamping of a fixation equipped with an eccentric. Moreover a securing element is disclosed, which can be brought in a securing position by a lever, whereby the lever thereby simultaneously causes the pillar to be clamped in the frame.

An articulated support bracket for a table and a table containing the support bracket. The support bracket includes a first arm having a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end being rotationally attached to a frame of a table or bench; a second arm having a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end being rotationally attached to a leg of the table and the distal end being rotationally attached to the distal end of the first arm; and a locking ring slidably disposed on the first arm between the proximal end and the distal end of the first arm for engaging a locking portion of the second arm when the locking ring is in a locking position. The locking portion has a first edge that increasingly diverges from a second edge when moving from the distal end toward the proximal end of the second arm.

A work surface for a vehicle includes an actuator plate that engages with a locking plate. Actuation of the actuator plate in a first direction induces actuation of the locking plate in a second direction, thereby actuating the locking plate between a locked and an unlocked configuration.

The invention discloses a workbench, comprising: a folding base comprising a left support frame and a right support frame cross connected with each other by a pivot and a handle rod connected with tops of the left support frame and the right support frame; a movable plate fixed on the left support frame and provided with at least one first fixing hole; a fixed plate fixed on the right support frame and provided with at least one second fixing hole; the movable plate and the fixed plate are spread out on the upper surface of the folding base as the left support frame and right support frame are unfolded; and the movable plate and the fixed plate are folded downwards along both sides of the handle rod as the left support frame and the right support frame are furled. The present invention allows the workbench to be folded by folding downwards the movable plate and the fixed plate, such that the workbench occupies less space and the folded workbench is more secure. The additional first fixing hole and second fixing hole on the workbench effectively stabilize workpieces.

A convertible vehicle having a transportation mode and a fixation mode is disclosed. The convertible vehicle includes a framework assembly, a plurality of wheels connected to the framework assembly, and a carrier member pivotally connected to the framework assembly. The framework assembly includes a first framework unit and a second framework unit pivotally connected to each other. In the fixation mode of the convertible vehicle, the first framework unit and the second framework unit are folded to form a horizontal platform, each of the wheels is located at a lower surface of the first framework unit or the second framework unit and located at a horizontal plane for transportation, and the carrier member is placed on the horizontal platform for carrying objects. In the fixation mode of the convertible vehicle, the first framework unit and the second framework unit are unfolded to be inclined and to form an X-shape structure, each of the wheels is located at the lower surface of the inclined first framework unit or the inclined second framework unit, and the carrier member is placed on the framework for carrying objects.

A liftable table foot frame (1) that is easily assembled includes a horizontal frame body (10), a post (20), a side wing (30) and a linking mechanism (40). The horizontal frame body (10) includes a horizontal rod (11). One end of the post (20) pivotally connects to the horizontal rod (11). The side wing (30) includes a plate body (31) and inserting blocks (32) connected to the plate body (31). The inserting blocks (32) separately couple with an end of the horizontal rod (11). The linking mechanism (40) connects the post (20) and the side wing (30). When the post (20) is turned out relative to the horizontal rod (11), the inserting blocks (32) are driven toward the horizontal rod (11) through the linking mechanism (40) to tense and position. Thus, easiness and convenience of assembling can be increased.

A tabletop having a first half and a second half that rotate about a central axis between an extended position and a storage position. The table includes a hinge disposed between first and second beams attached to the underside of the tabletop adjacent to the central axis. A first support rod is rotatably attached to the underside of the tabletop and has a proximal end attached to a first leg and a distal end having at least two first fingers projecting therefrom. A second support rod is rotatably attached to the underside of the tabletop and has a proximal end attached to a second leg and a distal end having one or more second fingers projecting therefrom. Upon rotation of the first and second legs between extended and collapsed positions, the at least two first fingers engage and disengage with the one or more second fingers.
