Each of the two side frames has a rear end having an upper portion and a lower portion each provided with a second pivot portion pivotally connected with the respective first pivot portion of the rear frame by a pivot pin so that the rear end of each of the two side frames is pivotally connected with the rear frame. Each of the two side frames has a front end having an upper portion formed with an elongate locking slot. The support board has a front end provided with two locking pieces each inserted into and detachably locked in the locking slot of a respective one of the two side frames to attach the support board to the two side frames. Each of the two side frames has a mediate portion having an upper portion formed with an elongate guide track. The drawer board has two opposite ends each detachably mounted in and guided by the guide track of a respective one of the two side frames. The support board has a rear end provided with a threaded locking plate locked onto the rear frame by a threaded locking knob to attach the support board to the rear frame. The threaded locking knob is extended through the rear frame and is screwed into the threaded locking plate of the support board. The threaded locking plate of the support board abuts the rear frame. The carrier has a side provided with at least one hanging hook detachably hooked onto a lower portion of one of the two side frames to attach.the carrier to one of the two side frames.
The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a computer table that is folded easily and quickly.
According to the primary advantage of the present invention, the computer table can be folded to have a smaller volume so as to decrease the cost of packaging, storage and transportation of the computer table.
According to another advantage of the present invention, the computer table is assembled and disassembled easily and quickly, thereby facilitating a user assembling and disassembling the computer table.
Further benefits and advantages of the present invention will become apparent after a careful reading of the detailed description with appropriate reference to the accompanying drawings.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Referring to the drawings and initially to Figs. 1-6, a computer table 1 in accordance with the preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises a rear frame 12, two side frames 11 pivotally mounted on two opposite ends of the rear frame 12 respectively, a support board 13 detachably mounted on the rear frame 12 and the two side frames 11 to support a computer, a drawer board 15 detachably mounted between the two side frames 11, and a carrier 16 detachably mounted on one of the two side frames 11 to support a host frame of the computer.
Each of the two opposite ends of the rear frame 12 has an upper portion and a lower portion each provided with a first pivot portion 121.
Each of the two side frames 11 has a rear end having an upper portion and a lower portion each provided with a second pivot portion 111 pivotally connected with the respective first pivot portion 121 of the rear frame 12 by a pivot pin 122 so that the rear end of each of the two side frames 11 is pivotally connected with the rear frame 12. Each of the two side frames 11 has a front end having an upper portion formed with an elongate locking slot 112. Each of the two side frames 11 has a mediate portion having an upper portion formed with an elongate guide track 113. The guide track 113 of each of the two side frames 11 is disposed between the second pivot portion 111 and the locking slot 112.
The drawer board 15 has two opposite ends each detachably mounted in and guided by the guide track 113 of a respective one of the two side frames 11.
The carrier 16 has a side provided with at least one hanging hook 161 detachably hooked onto a lower portion of one of the two side frames 11 to attach the carrier 16 to one of the two side frames 11.
The support board 13 has a front end provided with two locking pieces 131 each inserted into and detachably locked in the locking slot 112 of a respective one of the two side frames 11 to attach the support board 13 to the two side frames 11. Each of the two locking pieces 131 of the support board 13 has a substantially Z.-shaped profile. The support board 13 has a rear end provided with a threaded locking plate 132 locked onto the rear frame 12 by a threaded locking knob 14 to attach the support board 13 to the rear frame 12.
The threaded locking plate 132 of the support board 13 abuts the rear frame 12.
The threaded locking knob 14 is extended through the rear frame 12 and is screwed into the threaded locking plate 132 of the support board 13.
In assembly, the second pivot portion 111 of each of the two side frames 11 is pivotally connected with the respective first pivot portion 121 of the rear frame 12 by the pivot pin 122 so that the rear end of each of the two side frames 11 is pivotally connected with the rear frame 12. Then, each of the two locking pieces 131 of the support board 13 is inserted into the locking slot 112 of the respective side frame 11. Then, the support board 13 is moved rearward relative to the two side frames 11 so that each of the two locking pieces 131 of the support board 13 is locked in the locking slot 112 of the respective side frame 11 as shown in Fig. 5 to attach the support board 13 to the two side frames 11. Then, the threaded locking knob 14 is extended through the rear frame 12 and is screwed into the threaded locking plate 132 of the support board 13 to attach the support board 13 to the rear frame I.. Then, the drawer board 15 is inserted into and located between the guide tracks 113 of the two side frames 11. Finally, the hanging hook 161 of the carrier 16 is hooked onto one of the two side frames 11 to attach the carrier 16 to one of the two side frames 11 so as to assemble the computer table 1 as shown in Fig. 1.
When not in use, referring to Fig. 7 with reference to Figs. 1-6, the hanging hook 161 of the carrier 16 is detached from one of the two side frames 11 to remove the carrier 16 from one of the two side frames 11. Then, the drawer board 15 is removed from the guide tracks 113 of the two side frames 11. Then, the threaded ocking knob 14 is unscrewed from the threaded locking plate 132 of the support board 13 and is removed from the rear frame 12 to detach the support board 13 from the rear frame 12. Finally, the support board 13 is moved forward relative to the two side frames 11 so that each of the two locking pieces 131 of the support board 13 is unlocked and detached from the locking slot 112 of the respective side frame 11 as shown in Fig. 6 to detach the support board 13 from the two side frames 11. Thus, the support board 13 can be removed from the rear frame 12 and the two side frames 11. In such a manner, after the support board 13 is removed from the rear frame 12 and the two side frames 11, each of the two side frames 11 is pivoted relative to the rear frame 12 so that each of the two side frames 11 can be moved to abut the rear frame 12 so as to fold the computer table 1 as shown in Fig. 7.
Accordingly, the computer table 1 can be folded to have a smaller volume so as to decrease the cost of packaging, storage and transportation of the computer table 1. In addition, the computer table 1 is assembled and disassembled easily and quickly, thereby facilitating a user assembling and disassembling the computer table 1.
Although the invention has been explained in relation to its preferred embodiment(s) as mentioned above, it is to be understood that many other possible modifications and variations can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. It is, therefore, contemplated that the appended claim or claims will cover such modifications and variations that fall within the true scope of the invention.
