Benefits of technology

[0007] The main objective of the invention is to provide a table with a foldable tabletop to effectively reduce the space required for storing and for ease of transporting the table. The table has a stand, a tabletop and a positioning device. The stand is composed of two legs pivotally combined together, and each leg has a top. The tabletop is pivotally attached to the tops of the legs and has a first half board and a second half board pivotally connected with each other and pivotally attached respectively to the tops of the legs. The positioning device is mounted between the half boards of the tabletop to hold the tabletop in an expanded condition.

Problems solved by technology

However, the tabletop (52) of the conventional table cannot be folded and still takes a large space even when the table (50) is in the folded condition.
However, the tabletop (62) of the conventional table (60) also cannot be folded, so the conventional tables (50,60) are not convenient to store and transport.

Embodiment Construction

[0016] With reference to FIGS. 1 to 3, a table (10) in accordance with the present invention comprises a stand (20), a tabletop (30) and a positioning device.

[0017] The stand (20) is composed of two legs (21,22) pivotally combined together. Each leg (21,22) is substantially U-shaped, has a top (211,221) and includes a bottom rod (213,223) and two arms extending upward from two ends of the bottom rod (213,223). Multiple bumpers (23) are attached to the bottom rod (213,223) of each leg (21,22). The legs (21,22) are pivotally combined with each other at the middles of the arms with pivots (24).

[0018] The tabletop (30) is pivotally attached to the tops (211,221) of the legs (21,22) and comprises a first half board (31) and a second half board (32). The half boards (31,32) are pivotally connected with each other and are pivotally attached respectively to the tops (211,221) of the legs (21,22). To pivotally connect the half boards (31,32) with each other, each half board (31,32) has mul...

Abstract

A table has a stand, a tabletop and a positioning device. The stand is composed of two legs pivotally combined together, and each leg has a top. The tabletop is pivotally attached to the tops of the legs and has a first half board and a second half board pivotally connected with each other and pivotally attached respectively to the tops of the legs. The positioning device is mounted between the half boards of the tabletop to hold the tabletop in an expanded condition. Accordingly, the space of the table for storing or transporting can be effectively reduced with the folded tabletop.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a table, and more particularly to a table with a foldable tabletop to reduce the space required for storing and ease transporting of the table. [0003] 2. Description of the Related Art [0004] With reference to FIG. 6, a conventional table (50) in accordance with the prior art comprises a stand and a tabletop (52). The stand comprises two legs (51) pivotally combined with each other and each having a top. The tabletop (52) is pivotally attached to the tops of the legs (51). When the tabletop (52) is pivoted relative to the legs (51) of the stand, the space for storing the table (50) can be reduced. However, the tabletop (52) of the conventional table cannot be folded and still takes a large space even when the table (50) is in the folded condition. [0005] With reference to FIG. 7, another conventional table (60) in accordance with the prior art comprises a stand and a tabletop (62). T...
