ABSTRACT:
A foldable table may include a table top and legs that are movable between an extended position and a collapsed position. The table top may be divided into a first section and a second section, and a hinge assembly may connect the first section of the table top to the second section of the table top to allow the table top to be selectively moved between a folded position and an unfolded position. The hinge assembly may include a locking member that may be sized and configured to lock the hinge assembly in a fixed position. In addition, the hinge assembly may include a lever that is sized and configured to move the locking member between a locked and unlocked position.
