Folding table

Abstract

The present invention provides a folding table, including a main body with table panel and foot stand as well as a folding mechanism. The folding mechanism includes a fixed limiting seat, which is provided with assembly portion and first locating portion. A moveable limiting seat is provided with a second locating portion. A moveable control rod is, interconnected with the moveable limiting seat for simultaneous assembly and positioning. The folding mechanism allows the moveable control rod to shift transversely, so that the moveable limiting seat is activated simultaneously, enabling the second locating portion to move transversely for positioning together with the first locating portion, preventing the swinging of the table panel, or removing the limiting state of the second locating portion of the moveable limiting seat in reverse transversing. The table panel can move rotatably.

1 . A folding table, comprising:
 a main body, containing a table panel with a back surface and foot stand;   a pivot joint being preset on said main body; and   a folding means arranged on said main body, said folding means comprising:   a fixed limiting seat, provided with assembly portion and first locating portion, said assembly portion being mounted onto said back surface of said table panel;   a moveable limiting seat, provided with a second locating portion being transversely moveable and mated with said first locating portion in a limited state;   a moveable control rod, extended transversely along said main body, assembled onto said pivot joint and connected with said moveable limiting seat for simultaneous assembly and positioning; and   a locator securely retaining said moveable control rod.   
     
     
         2 . The folding table defined in  claim 1 , wherein the first locating portion of the fixed limiting seat is of an inverted concave profile to form two vertical locating walls and locating plates, the locating plates being protruded from an end of two vertical locating walls, the second locating portion transversely penetrating and being transversely assembled onto the locating plate for a limitation state, the locator being formed by a concave flange of the first locating portion. 
     
     
         3 . The folding table defined in  claim 1 , wherein interlocked assembly portions are arranged at four corners on the back surface of the table panel of the main body, a plurality of main bodies being assembled and connected. 
     
     
         4 . The folding table defined in  claim 3 , wherein the interlocked assembly portion has an embedded bulge and an embedded groove placed at both ends thereof, connecting and separating via the interlocked assembly portion of different main bodies. 
     
     
         5 . The folding table defined in  claim 1 , wherein said pivot joint is arranged at a top of said foot stand of the main body, and provided with a through-hole for the penetration of the moveable control rod. 
     
     
         6 . The folding table defined in  claim 1 , wherein said moveable control rod has two handles arranged at both ends thereof for pushing and pulling. 
     
     
         7 . The folding table defined in  claim 1 , wherein said main body is fitted with a snapping member, being arranged onto the locating seat of the back surface of the table panel, and also onto the locking seat of the foot stand of the main body, a locking end being formed on one end of the locating seat, the locking end being locked into the locking seat.
