This is achieved according to the invention in that the second fixing element (16) is arranged, as a second fixing element (16) formed separately from the base frame (2), so as to be fixedly connectable to the base frame (2).

A utility table in accordance with the present disclosure includes a tabletop and a tabletop-support frame arranged to support the tabletop in an upright spaced-apart relation to a floor.

A tabletop for a table that can rotate between a use position and a stowed position. The table may include at least one rotation mechanism. The rotation mechanism may comprise: a housing pivotally connected to a cross-bar, an activation rod connected to a deadbolt and a hook plate and a grip bar connected to the activation rod. When the table is in a use position, the hook plate engages an opening in the primary cross-bar, where the use position is defined as when the tabletop is oriented substantially parallel to a surface supporting the table, and when the table is in a stowed position, the deadbolt receives an engaging member that is connected to the primary cross-bar, where the stowed position is defined as when the tabletop is oriented substantially perpendicular to the surface supporting the table.

The invention relates to a games table including a base structure having an upper frame on which a table top is mounted via a mechanism for tilting about a longitudinal axis, the base structure including a floor support frame and a rolling carriage which are connected by an articulation mechanism, the table including at least one member connecting the table top and the articulation mechanism, the member being moved by the tilting of the table top while being designed to place the base structure in a stable configuration in which the support frame is arranged on the floor below the rolling carriage or in a movement configuration in which the rolling carriage is arranged on the floor below the support framewhen the table top is in a horizontal use positionor in a raised configuration for storage.

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 rotary engaging assembly includes a first fixed seat, a second fixed seat, a movable rotatable block, and an engaging block. The second fixed seat is fixedly connected with the first fixed seat and has a protruding portion facing the first fixed seat, and the protruding portion has an engaging block accommodating space. The movable rotatable block has a perforating hole and is sleeved on the protruding portion, and the movable rotatable block has a first groove and a second groove formed at an edge of the perforating hole. The engaging block is restricted within the engaging block accommodating space and movable within the engaging block accommodating space. The engaging block can be engaged with the first groove or the second groove, and the engaging block move within the engaging block accommodating space to be engaged or disengaged with the movable rotatable block.

Disclosed are mobile tables and table assemblies having a selectively rotating table top relative to the table frame. A mobile table including a selectively rotatable table top that is configured to securely rotate about an axis in an unlocked position and to be secured in a predetermined plane in a locked position; and two spaced apart frame members securely connected to the selectively rotatable table top positioned on a first end of each spaced apart frame member and movement members attached to a second end of each spaced apart frame members that are configured to selectively move the mobile table to and from desired locations.

A desk has a base that rests on an underlying floor surface, a work surface that is supported by the base, and a seat that is rotatably connected to the base for rotation between a first position, located in a conventional position behind the desk so a person may sit at the desk, and a second position, located to one side of the desk so that a person may instead stand at the desk. The seat is adjustable radially relative to its axis of rotation, vertically up and down relative to the floor surface, and angularly toward its axis of rotation.

A flip-top table has a tabletop attached to a frame through a pivoting assembly. The tabletop is made from a ballistic resistant material and serves as a ballistic shield, rotating from its horizontal working position to a vertical shielding position. A front modesty panel is also ballistic-resistant and is mounted on the frame's front side with either a fixed connected to the frame or a hinged connection to the tabletop. A lift speed restrictor is connected between the tabletop and the frame, preventing the tabletop from being lifted too quickly and toppling the table, and it includes a biasing mechanism that provides a lifting force and helps to hold the tabletop in the shielding position. Visual markings on the table indicate to persons that the table can be used as a ballistic shield. Casters allow one or more tables to be quickly moved and repositioned into a defensive arrangement.

The invention discloses a pedestal apparatus for an article of furniture. The pedestal apparatus has an elongate post formation defining a first end and a second end and having a longitudinal axis. The post formation immovably supports a fixed foot arrangement and also movably supports a variable foot arrangement. The variable foot arrangement is selectively movable along and around the longitudinal axis for varying a longitudinal and angular proximity between the variable foot arrangement and the fixed foot arrangement. Biasing means are provided for controlling movement of the variable foot arrangement whereby, in use, the biasing means causes both the fixed foot arrangement and the variable foot arrangement to abut an underlying surface and thereby provide a substantial stabilization of the pedestal apparatus.
