Folding utility table

Abstract

A foldable and stackable utility table having a blow molded table top and two leg assemblies. The table top includes four corners which are offset downwardly to allow self centering and locking table stacking. The offset includes corner depressions in the upper surface of the table top and complimentary protrusions extending from the underside of the table top to allow nesting. The table includes two side rails attached to the sides of the table top and lateral tubes supported by the side rails for strengthening the table. The leg assemblies are also mounted to the side rails.

1 . A foldable and stackable utility table comprising: 
 a table top; and    a leg assembly mounted to said table top and movable between a folded closed position and an extended open position;    said table top having a generally planar upper surface, an underside, a side wall and four corner portions, each of said corner portions being offset in a consistent manner to allow folded tables to be self locating and centered when stacked, one upon another.    
     
     
         2 . The table as claimed in  claim 1  wherein: 
 at said corner portions, said upper surface and said underside are lower elevationally than adjacent portions of said table top.  
 
     
     
         3 . The table as claimed in  claim 1  wherein: 
 said table top includes a groove in said upper surface and a projection in said underside.  
 
     
     
         4 . The table as claimed in  claim 1  wherein: 
 said upper surface of said table top is depressed at said four corners for forming recesses to receive complimentary protrusions from the underside of an adjacent table top.  
 
     
     
         5 . The table as claimed in  claim 4  wherein: 
 said underside of said table top includes a protrusion at each of said four corners for stacking purposes.  
 
     
     
         6 . The table as claimed in  claim 5  wherein: 
 said upper surface at said four corners and said protrusions are displaced an equal amount from said upper surface.  
 
     
     
         7 . The table as claimed in  claim 5  wherein: 
 said table top includes a groove in said upper surface and a projection in said underside.
