ABSTRACT:
A collapsible table for use on motor vehicles such as conversion vans, motorhomes and other recreational vehicles. The collapsible table of the present invention is mounted to the floor of the vehicle and includes a lower frame, an intermediate frame pivotally attached to the lower frame, and an upper frame pivotally attached to the intermediate frame. Both the intermediate frame and the upper frame pivot between a folded position in which the frame is next to its adjacent frame and an extended position in which each frame is spaced from its adjacent frame. The collapsible table includes a latch mechanism for latching the frames in their folded or extended positions. Accordingly, a table surface attached to the upper frame can be placed in a lower position adjacent the floor, an intermediate positions, and a raised position. The lower frame of the collapsible table includes slotted mounting brackets designed to mount to the standard base plate used to mount passenger seating to the floor of vehicles, which allows the table to be placed in a variety of locations throughout the vehicle.
