ABSTRACT:
A folding device for a tabletop includes a pivot, a first bracket, and a latch mechanism. The pivot is fixed with a pedestal and a base is mounted on the pivot. An opening is defined in the base and extends therethrough longitudinally. The first bracket connects to the pivot rotatably for adapting to the tabletop. The latch mechanism includes a fixed mount, a sliding block, and a paw. The fixed mount is secured to the first bracket and includes a passage corresponding to the opening in the base. The sliding block moves in the passage and includes a groove. The paw connects to the fixed mount pivotally and elastically and includes a first end selectively engaging with the sliding block. The tabletop is un-rotatable when the sliding block extends into the opening in the base.
