ABSTRACT:
A folding and latching mechanism for a table leg includes a recess into which a latching pin is moved when the leg is erected. A spring-loaded latching bar includes a camming surface which bears against the latching pin on a diagonal tangent. The force applied by the camming surface thus has a component tending to seat the latching pin securely into the recess throughout the time the table is in its erected condition.
