Folding two-level table, bench or the like

Claim 1

A folding two-level table, bench or the like comprising a top having a top side and an underside and constituted by two top parts hinged to one another by hinge means along immediately adjacent edges thereof to be movable alternatively to one position in which they lie in the same plane and another position in which they lie in spaced parallel planes, two pairs of spaced leg assemblies, each pair being movably mounted to the underside of a respective top part to be movable alternatively to one or other of two operative positions, each leg assembly comprising a length of tube-like material bent to a general L-shape to provide a longer leg and a shorter leg disposed at least approximately at right angles to one another with one of the arms of the L-shape bent to a general U-shape to form the said shorter leg, in one of said operative positions the longer legs of the four assemblies are operative to support the top from the floor at a higher level, and in the other of which operative positions the shorter legs are operative to support the top from the floor at a lower level, with each longer leg in its said operative position the Ushaped shorter leg is engaged with the underside of the top to brace the respective longer leg in the said operative position, the said top parts being movable to the said another position with the leg assemblies in the said other position to provide a corresponding package in which the leg assemblies are enclosed between the two top parts with the said longer legs extending parallel to and braced against the undersides of the top parts, and with the said shorter legs in nesting engagement with one another to fix the said another parallel position of the top parts.
