Knoblock, 436 Bonnie Brier, Birmingham, Mich. 48009 Filed Nov. 22, 1966, Ser. No. 596,303 Claims. (Cl. 10S- 124) vABS'I'RACI 401? THE DISCLOSURE The folding table disclosed herein comprises a pair of frame members which are movable between an extended position and a position wherein the frame members are substantially dat against one another. One of the frame members has a connecting cross portion at the upper end thereof and means are provided for pivoting a table top to the cross portion. This means includes a pivot member that is mounted for rotation about a fixed pivotal axis perpendicular to the axis of the cross portion of the frame member and means for mounting the table top on the pivot member for swinging movement about an axis forming an angle with the first-mentioned pivotal axis.
This invention relates to folding tables and particularly to folding tables of the type which can be readily folded into flat compact form for storage and which can be readily unfolded and erected without the use of tools.
The present invention is particularly adapted to folding tables of the type disclosed and claimed in the patent of Frederick D. `Knobloch et al. 2,902,325, issued Sept. 1, 1959, and Frederick D. Knoblock 3,108,550, issued Oct. 29, 1963. In such folding tables, there is a foldable base on which a table top or tray is adapted to rest. The base comprises a main frame member and side frame members which are folded into ilat relation with the main frame member and unfolded into table top supporting position.
In the Knoblock et al. Patent 2,902,325, the table top is removable. In Knoblock 3,108,550, the table top is also removably connected but may be stored alongside the main frame member.
The present invention is directed to an improved folding table construction wherein the table top is permanently but movably connected to the main frame member so that it can be moved from an unfolded position wherein it rests upon the side frame members to a folded position wherein it lies substantially flat against the main frame member.
It is a further object of the invention to provide such a construction which is relatively simple and low in cost and requires no maintenance.

3,401,653 Patented sept. 17, 1958 ice FIG. 10 is a side elevational view of the table shown in FIG. 8 with the parts in folded position.
Referring to FIG. 1, the folding table embodying the invention comprises a base 10 and a table top 11. The base 10 comprises a tubular main frame member 12 and tubular side frame members 13. Main frame member 12 comprises substantialy vertical legs 14, the lower ends of which are bent outwardly and forwardly to engage the ground and a connecting cross portion 15. Each side frame member 13 comprises a lower substantially horizontal leg, an upper table top supporting leg 17 and a substantially vertical leg 18 connecting the horizontal legs 16, 17. The vertical legs 18 of each side frame member 13 extend substantially along the legs 14 of the main frame member 12 and are pivotally connected thereto so that the side frame members may be folded inwardly into substantially at relation to one another and to the main frame member 12.
Specifically, the members are pivoted by hinges 19a, 19b comprising blocks of rubber or plastic material that are mounted on the vertical legs 14 by screws 20 and have flexible fingers which snap over the legs 18. The cross portion 15 may have an offset portion 21 so that when the one side frame member 13 is folded inwardly against the main frame member and the second side frame member 13 `is thereafter folded inwardly, it will lie flat against the rst side frame member 13.
As shown in FIG. 2, the table top 11 is connected adjacent its forward edge to the cross portion 15 so that in one position, it is substantially horizontal, blocks 22 thereon having spaced fingers 23 (FIG. 3) are snapped over the upper legs 17 and resilient pads 23 on the legs 14 engage the underside of the table 11 to firmly support the table. In the folded position of the table top shown in FIG. 4, the table top is supported in vertical position adjacent the main frame member 12. The table top is connected by a structure 25 that comprises a pivot member 26. Pivot member 26 is generally T-shaped and includes a first shaft 27 that extends through aligned openings 28, 29 in the cross portion 15 (FIG. 7) and a second shaft 30 integral with first shaft 27 and extending at right angles to the first shaft 27 to form a transverse portion. A screw 31 is threaded into the opening 32 in the lower end of the shaft 27 and is tightened against a washer 33. A tubular spacer 34 is provided between the opening 28 and the transverse shaft 30. In this manner, the pivot member 26 is pivoted to cross portion 25 for rotation about an axis transverse to the axis of the cross portion 15 and intersecting the axis of the cross portion 15.
A pair of tubular members 35 are fastened to the underside of the table. One end 36 of each tubular member is flattened and a screw 37 extends through an opening in the flattened end 36 and is threaded into the table top 11. The other adjacent ends of the tubular members 35 remain open and receive the ends of the transverse shaft 30. In this fashion, the table top is connected to the cross or transverse shaft 30 for swinging movement about the axis of the transverse shaft 30. Since the transverse shaft 30 forms a part of the pivot member 26, the table top 11 can also rotate or revolve about the axis of the shaft 27. The axis of the shaft 27 extends upwardly and outwardly.
By this arrangement, the table top 11 can be swung from the position shown in FIG. 2 upwardly to disconnect the blocks 23 from the side legs 17 and thereafter revolved about the axis of the shaft 27 as shown in broken lines in FIG. 2 and swung downwardly about the axis of the cross shaft 30 to bring it into position wherein it is substantially fiat against the main frame member as shown in FIG. 4.
In the form of the invention shown in FIGS. 8-10 the folding table comprises a frame that is made of U-shaped frame members 40 which comprise a horizontal portion 41 and vertical leg portions 42. Adjacent leg 42 of the frame members 40 are pivoted to one another intermediate their ends so that the frame members are foldable from an expanded position shown in FIG. 8 to a folded or compact position shown in FIG. 10. Table top 43 is hinged to horizontal portion 41 by hinge aS- sembly 44 that is substantially identical to the assembly for pivoting the table 11 in the prior form of the invention shown in FIGS. 1-7 except that instead of utilizing a washer 33 and screw 31, a sheet metal friction nut 45 is forced over the shaft 27. In all other respects to assembly for pivoting the table to the cross portion is the same as described in connection with FIGS. 1-7. The table top 43 also includes a retaining ledge 46 that keeps the table in expanded position by frictionally engaging horizontal portion 41 of one of the frame members.
In the folded position the table is revolved about the axis of the shaft 27 and swung downwardly about the axis of the cross shaft 30 so that it hangs downwardly as viewed in FIG. 10.
It can thus be seen that there has been provided a simple and inexpensive construction whereby the table top may be readily moved from unfolded to a folded condition and back again and wherein the forward end of the table top is always connected to the main frame member.
