Folding table

Claim 1

A folding table comprising: a table top of synthetic plastic material having an upper working surface and an underside, said underside having at least one rearwardly located leg retainer and at least one forwardly located strut retainer, a leg assembly comprising an elongated connecting member and a pair of straight legs extending from opposite ends of the connecting member, each straight leg having a foot member extending perpendicularly from a lower end thereof remote from the connecting member whereby in use the straight legs are vertical and the foot members extend forwardly therefrom, and an angularly movable strut pivotally secured at the rear to at least one of the legs and releasably engageable at the front with the strut retainer, said strut being angularly movable between a working position in releasable engagement with the strut retainer to maintain the tabletop in a working position and a retracted position between the legs when released from the strut retainer, each leg retainer retaining the connecting member in engagement therewith while permitting angular movement of the table top between a working position and a folded position in which the table top is substantially parallel to the legs, said legs each having upper and lower portions in telescoping engagement, the lower leg portions being securable at different longitudinal positions relative to the upper portions to vary the length of the legs, the lower leg portions being angularly movable relative to the upper leg portions about the longitudinal axes of the legs to enable the lower leg portions to be securable in working positions in which the foot members are parallel to one another and folded positions in which the foot members extend in opposite directions side-by-side one another.
