ABSTRACT:
An adjustable latching mechanism for securing together first and second leg support members on an institutional folding table. The latching mechanism comprises a first latching member slidably mounted to the first leg support member and a second latching member mounted to the second leg support member. The first latching mechanism can be extended and retracted between limits so as to permit a multiplicity of positions where the second latching member can engage the first latching member. The first latching member may either be an adjustable latch or an adjustable catch. The latching mechanism is preferably used on a center leg support to maintain the table in a substantially unfolded position.
