ABSTRACT:
A folding table for storage in an automobile and used in combination with the trunk of the automobile comprises an upper surface configured for holding items as the table is removed from or returned to the trunk, two adjustable, foldable legs for supporting the front of the table, the back resting on the trunk rim, and a ramp for removal of the table from and return of the table to the trunk. In the preferred embodiment, the ramp is a frame having two tracks that engage and guide two wheels fitted to the back of the table, the frame resting on the rim when being used and laying flat on the trunk floor under the table when being stored. In an alternative embodiment, the ramp comprises two tube carried in the sides of the table, a rod slidably carried within each tube but protruding a short distance from the back of the table and having ends that frictionally engage the trunk floor to maintain position of the rods relative to the floor as the table is slid from and to the trunk.
