ABSTRACT:
A portable table consists of four flat planar pieces that can be assembled and disassembled without fasteners, but which may include optional fasteners. The portable table consists of a pair of pedestals, each having a vertical slot from a top edge to a certain depth; a central brace member lying in a plane perpendicular to the width of the pedestals and having angled slots at about 80 degrees from the horizontal that mate with the slots in the pedestals so that the two pedestals are slightly inward leaning from their bottoms to their tops. The top edges of the pedestals and the central brace member lie in a single plane. A table top includes channel members in a bottom surface that mirror the top edges of the pedestals and the central brace member and mate therewith to provide a simple and sturdy portable table that is easily stored. Two alternative fastening systems for securing the table top to the supporting structure are disclosed, including a locking toggle clip, and a system of locking plates that are received by aligned protruding tongues fastened to the top edges of the pedestals.
