Collapsible Measuring and Cutting Craft Table

Abstract

A collapsible measuring and cutting craft table enables cutting, measuring, and stowing fabric and craft materials from a foldable, height-adjustable, and mobile work surface. The craft table comprises a large, flat work surface having a center panel and two hingedly attached drop leaf panels that fold down for storage. Center support members support the center panel in a horizontal position at the desired working height. Two center support members supports the center panel of the work surface. The outer support members pivot outwardly to a support position to support the drop leaf panels. The outer support members pivot inwardly to a collapsed position to fold the drop leaf panels down perpendicularly relative to the center panel. The center support members telescopically adjust in length to height adjust the work surface. The support members terminates at wheels for mobility. Meshed baskets slide along rails that run between the center support members.

1 . A collapsible measuring and cutting craft table, the table comprising:
 a work surface comprising a center panel and a plurality of drop leaf panels pivotably attached to the center panel,   at least three center support members fixedly connected underneath the center panel to support the center panel in a horizontal orientation;   a plurality of rails being supported between the center support members;   at least one outer support member located parallel to the center support members and pivotally connected with the center support members; and   a height adjustable lower support panel arranged across the center support members.   
     
     
         2 . The table of  claim 1 , further comprising at least one wheel attached on each of the center support members and the at least one outer support members to provide mobility for the table. 
     
     
         3 . The table of  claim 2 , further comprising a height adjustable lower support panel arranged across the center support members. 
     
     
         4 . The table of  claim 3 , further comprising at least one mesh basket positioned across the rails, the mesh basket sliding along the rails to detachably join with the center support members. 
     
     
         5 . The table of  claim 4 , wherein the center support members telescopically adjust in length. 
     
     
         6 . The table of  claim 5 , wherein each of the center support members comprises a plurality of spaced-apart pin holes and at least one pin passing through the pin holes to fasten the center support members at the desired level. 
     
     
         7 . The table of  claim 6 , wherein each of the drop leaf panels can be vertically suspended with the central panel. 
     
     
         8 . The table of  claim 7 , wherein the center support members and the at least one outer support members comprise lightweight aluminum legs. 
     
     
         9 . The table of  claim 8 , wherein the wheels comprises six castor wheels. 
     
     
         10 . A method of folding and unfolding a collapsible measuring and cutting craft table, wherein the craft table comprises a height adjustable lower support panel arranged across at least three center support members, the method comprises:
 upwardly folding at least one drop leaf panels with respect to a center panel until the at least one drop leaf panels to be coplanar with the center panel;   outwardly unfolding at least one outer support member with respect to the center support members;   inwardly folding the at least one outer support members towards the center support members; and   downwardly folding the at least one drop leaf panels towards the center support.   
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the at least one outer support members are pivotably attached to the center support members and support underneath the at least one outer support members. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the at least one drop leaf panels can be folded down perpendicularly to the center panel. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein each of the at least one outer support members can pivotably attached to one of the center support members. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13 , further comprising sliding two meshed baskets along two rails arranged across the center support members, wherein the sliding step further comprises steps of:
 sliding the meshed baskets out of the center support members;   sliding the meshed baskets inside the center support members.   
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the step of inwardly folding the outer support members further comprises a step of: overlapping the at least one outer support members with the center support members. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the step of downwardly folding the at least one drop leaf panels further comprises a step of: overlapping the at least one drop leaf panels with the center support members. 
     
     
         17 . The table of  claim 1 , wherein the type of the center support members and the at least one outer support members is table leg. 
     
     
         18 . The table of  claim 1 , wherein each of the at least one outer support members comprises one end fixedly attached on the one of the drop leaf panels. 
     
     
         19 . The table of  claim 1 , further comprising a decal grid selectively disposed on the two drop leaf panels, and center panel wherein the decal grid comprises inches and centimeters for convenience.
