ABSTRACT:
A lightweight, high strength folding table having a top assembly which includes a novel high strength, plastic reinforcing core. Pivotally connected to the top assembly are supporting legs. Interconnecting the supporting legs with the top assembly are novel folding leg mechanisms which include top assembly engaging links and leg engaging links pivotally connected both to the top assembly engaging links and also to the supporting legs. A locking rod extends between the top assembly engaging links, the end portion of which is slidably received within a slot formed in each of the leg engaging links. When the rod resides within the locking portion of the slot, the top assembly engaging links and the leg engaging links are locked against relative pivotal movement. However, when the locking rod is lifted slightly, the rod ends move into the channel portion of the slot permitting free pivotal movement of the cooperating links.
