ABSTRACT:
The invention comprises a quick disconnect apparatus for locking a tubular table leg to a table top. An insert plug extends downwardly below the table top and carries an annular resilient member which is inserted into the table leg. An actuator has a camming surface and is movable between two positions. In one position, it pulls the resilient member into forceful engagement with a ramped lower extension of the plug, causing the resilient member to expand and frictionally engage the inner surface of the leg, locking it in place. In its other position, the actuator releases the resilient member, causing it to relax and disengage from the leg.
