ABSTRACT:
A leg design for a folding table with rotationally attached leg segments. The folding table includes a table top with a pivoting leg, a pivoting top segment, at least one leg segment and a free standing leg. The number of pivoting legs and free standing legs can vary according to the table shape. The pivoting legs are connected to the table top by hinges. The free standing legs are connected to a leg segment by a crossbar and the leg segments rotationally interconnect with the pivoting top segment. The pivoting top segment and the leg segment or segments form a segmented leg when connected. The rotational connection allows for a free standing leg to rotate with respect to the segmented leg and the connection prevents the leg segments from separating. The free standing legs can be locked into a position that a fixed leg would normally be positioned. During disassembly, the pivoting legs are pivoted towards the table and the free standing legs are rotated towards the pivoting legs. As a result the free standing legs lay adjacent to the pivoting legs and the table top rests on top of the legs.
