ABSTRACT:
A mechanism for folding the T-leg of a table is contained within a tubular housing carried by the end of the pedestal portion of the leg. Spring-loaded cams at each end of the housing slide in slotted frames mounted to the underside of the table. A locking shoulder at one end of each slot retains its cam in a locking position and a lever associated with each cam unlocks it and allows the leg to fold.
