of one of the two table tops
12
is provided with an inner tube
66
which is fastened by a fastening bolt
64
. The fastening bolt
64
is apt to complicate the fixation of the support legs
54
. The prior art foldable table is not securely constructed.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a foldable table free from the shortcomings of the prior art foldable table described above.
The foldable table of the present invention comprises two table tops, two support legs, two support frames, and one retaining member. The two support legs are fastened pivotally with the undersides of the table tops. The two support frames are mounted in the undersides of the table tops and are pivoted together to enable the table tops to swivel on the pivoting portions. The retaining member serves to locate the support frames at such time when the two table tops are unfolded.
