Benefits of technology

The present invention is related to a collapsible infeed / outfeed table that can be easily moved and set up without needing a lot of equipment. The table includes a shelf that acts as a support to keep it in a deployed position. In one embodiment, there is an additional support under the shelf to prevent the shelf from collapsing. By using the shelf as an added support, the table can be made lighter and more functional. This design allows for the table to be easily moved and set up in different locations.

Problems solved by technology

Nevertheless, none of the above prior art devices are well adapted for performing all of these functions in a single, lightweight device.

Abstract

The present application provides for a collapsible table. The table may be constructed of a first table top section and a second table top section which may be pivotally connected together by a center support structure. The table may have two sets of legs. A first set of legs may be pivotally attached to the center support structure and a second set of legs may also be pivotally attached to the center support structure. Each set of legs may also be attached to the table top via a first and a second leg support extending from the legs to the table top sections. A shelf connection may be placed between the first and second leg support wherein, a shelf attached to each pair of legs the shelf may have a first section and second section, wherein the sections are attached to each other at opposite ends of the shelf connection.
