ABSTRACT:
The folding leg structure of a folding table is journalled for rotation in a cylindrical journal formed in a bracket which is bent-up from a strip of metal and secured to the bottom of a table. A downwardly-extending portion of the bracket has a flat horizontal surface containing an aperture in which a resilient bumper member having a high-friction surface is held. Four such brackets are used, one near each corner of the table, and the bumpers extend downwardly beyond all other portions of the table, when in its folded condition, so that a plurality of such tables can be stacked with the top of each table top contacted only by the bumpers of an adjacent folded table, thus avoiding marring and sideways slippage. An additional bracket and bumper may be mounted near the center of the underside of the table for additional support.
