Fold-in-Half Table Having Planar Cross Brace
20230012143 · 2023-01-12 · ·

A planar cross brace for stiffening a tabletop of a fold-in-half collapsible table includes an elongate rectangular planar portion having elongate opposing side edges and narrow opposing end edges that are perpendicular to the side edges. A pair of opposing tabs extend from the opposing end edges in a direction perpendicular to the rectangular planar portion. A pair of opposing ribs extend from the opposing side edges in a direction perpendicular to the rectangular planar portion, thereby forming an elongate channel having a U-shaped cross section. The planar cross brace stiffens the inner edge of the tabletop portion to which it is attached, and the stiffening is independent of any connection to the inner edge of the other tabletop portion. This eliminates any need for interlocking features on the inner edges of the tabletop portions, such as those required by prior art tables

STRUCTURAL BOARD AND TABLE
20220408922 · 2022-12-29 ·

A structural board comprises a surface board and a bottom board. The bottom board comprises a first supporting surface and a second supporting surface, and the surface board is fixedly connected on the second supporting surface. The bottom board comprises a plurality of protruding cavities spaced apart from one another. Two end surfaces of each of the plurality of protruding cavities along a protruding direction of the plurality of protruding cavities respectively defines the first supporting surface and the second supporting surface. Each of a plurality of straight ribs is defined by two adjacent, spaced apart protruding cavities of the plurality of protruding cavities. Some of the plurality of straight ribs are connected together in an extending direction, and the plurality of straight ribs with different extending directions extend to be cross-connected to one another to form a polygonal mesh structure that defines the first supporting surface.

EXTENDABLE FRAME AND STRUCTURE HAVING SAME

A supporting frame includes a mounting assembly and a plurality of leg assemblies to support the mounting assembly. The mounting assembly includes first and second mounting units, at least one of which is extendable in a longitudinal or lateral direction of the mounting assembly. In some cases, the first and second mounting units are pivotally connected to each other and each of the leg assemblies is foldable relative to the first or second mounting unit, resulting in an extendable and foldable supporting frame. A supporting structure includes a supporting frame and first and second panels connected to the supporting frame. In some cases, the supporting structure is foldable in half.

TABLE TENNIS TABLE
20220401808 · 2022-12-22 · ·

The present disclosure provides a table tennis table. Compared with the existing design, according to the present disclosure, a whole table tennis table is divided into two table tennis table boards, and each table tennis table board can be folded into two plates. On one hand, the table board can be folded, which is convenient to transport. On the other hand, because of the setting of first articulation pieces, second articulation pieces, third articulation pieces, and fourth articulation pieces, the table board can be supported directly by folding and connection relationship without special installation of the supporting feet and the fixing feet. For each table tennis table board, a consumer only needs to rotate two fixing screws to use the table tennis table, which is more convenient and simpler than the traditional way to install the table legs.

Locking mechanism for a folding table

A foldable table may include a tabletop and legs that are movable between an extended position and a collapsed position. The tabletop may include a first section and a second section that are connected by a hinge assembly. A locking mechanism may be sized and configured to lock the hinge assembly in a fixed position. The locking mechanism may include a locking member, and the locking member may be a unitary, one-piece structure. The locking member may be rotatably connected to a connector of the hinge assembly. The locking member may be connected to a locking structure that is movable between a locked position and an unlocked position. The locking member may be sized and configured to bias the locking structure into the locked position.

STAND FOR PEAKED ROOF AND THE LIKE
20230054520 · 2023-02-23 ·

A stand providing a horizontal support surface upon a sloping peak includes a central support having a top surface and bottom surface with opposing end portions, and adjustably extendible legs attached in spaced relation to the bottom surface of the central support and end supports. The central support and end supports are connected by a hinge having a range of motion limiting upward movement of the end supports to a horizontal position with the central support. Each of the central and end supports have spaced adjustably extendible legs attached to the bottom surface whereby the central support and the respective end supports can be aligned to provide a horizontal support surface on a sloping peak by adjustment of said extendible legs, regardless of the angles of declination from the peak.

Adjustable table apparatus and method

An adjustable table apparatus and related method can include a table configured to adjust between an operative position and a collapsed position.

EXPANDABLE FOLDING TABLE ASSEMBLY WITH PANELS

The present subject matter discloses an expandable folding table with a first panel, a second panel, and a movable insert panel. The first panel is supported by a first frame, and the second panel is supported by a second frame. The first frame is expandable and is attached to a sliding rail device, which includes a fixed frame connected with a pivot device and a movable frame slidably arranged on the fixed frame. When it is in use, the movable insert panel can be arranged between the first panel and the second panel to extend the expandable folding table. When it is collapsed, the movable insert panel can be hidden under the first panel. The expandable folding table is convenient as it is foldable and extendable. Furthermore, the first panel can always be supported by the movable frame to enhance its bearing strength.

TABLE WITH MINIMIZED THICKNESS WHEN FOLDED
20220330691 · 2022-10-20 ·

A foldable table includes first and second panels, first and second mounting assemblies coupled respectively with the first and second panels, and first and second leg assemblies coupled respective with the first and second mounting assemblies. Each of the first and second panels is formed with upper and lower panel surfaces spaced apart at a first distance. Each of the first and second panels is also formed with a ridge or protrusions or both of the ridge and protrusions. A lower surface of the ridge is spaced apart from the upper panel surface at a second distance equal to or less than two times the first distance. A lower surface of each protrusion is spaced apart from the upper panel surface at a third distance equal to or less than 1.5 times the first distance. Thus, when folded, the table has a minimized thickness.
