Embodiment Construction

[0052] Reference is first made to FIG. 1 illustrating a collapsible table in accordance with the present invention generally designated 10 comprising two pivotable table top half sections 14 and 15 hingedly connected to one another and foldable about a pivot axle 18 (see in FIGS. 3A and 4A), extending transversally at a center line of the table 20. At the open position of FIG. 1 the half sections are coplanar.

[0053] The table is supported by six legs arranged in pairs and designated 22A and 22B; 24A and 24B; 26A and 26B, respectively, as will become apparent hereinafter.

[0054] The table is foldable / collapsible between an open position as illustrated in FIG. 1 where the table top is supported by the legs, and a closed / folded / collapsed position as illustrated in FIG. 2. Also seen in FIG. 2 is a latch 30 to retain the half sections 14 and 15 at the closed, overlapping position.

[0055] In FIG. 3A the table 10 is illustrated from its bottom side and as can be seen at each of the half s...

Abstract

A collapsible picnic set comprising a table member and at least one bench member, said table member being constituted by a table top having an undersurface with a transverse support member pivotally articulated thereto, two legs associated with each lateral edge of the transverse support member, and a pair of longitudinal support members articulated to the undersurface of the table. The bench member being of similar construction to the table member, having shorter legs and an undersurface smaller than the undersurface of the table top. The longitudinal support members of both the table member and the bench member are displaceable between erect and collapsed positions, and the transverse support member is prevented from collapsing as long as at least one of the longitudinal support members is erect. The least one bench member and the table member are adapted to be attached to each other, when each is in a collapsed position, undersurface mated to undersurface, so as to form one portable picnic unit.

Description

[0001] This application is a Continuation in Part, and claims the benefit of, U.S. application Ser. No. 10 / 729,366, filed on Dec. 08, 2003.FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] This invention relates generally to a collapsible / foldable table and bench set having a table top and at least one associated bench which are both collapsible for convenience of carrying and storage. [0003] In connection with the present invention the terms collapsible and foldable are used interchangeably. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION AND PRIOR ART [0004] A dining table intended for use only on special occasions, such as for banquets or picnics, must be stored when not in use. Since a dining table occupies a relatively large space, the need to store the table presents a problem, particularly when there are many tables to be stored and the storage facilities are limited. A preferred form of banquet table is therefore one that is collapsible to form a compact structure that occupies relatively little storage space (and...
