         6 . The collapsible table of  claim 4  wherein said mounting assembly further comprises:
 a first tab extending outwardly from said first side of said slot disposed through said tubular sleeve, wherein said first tab has a first hole disposed therein; and 
 a second tab extending outwardly from said second side of said slot disposed in said tubular sleeve, wherein said second tab has a second hole disposed therein. 
 
     
     
         7 . The collapsible table of  claim 4  wherein said mounting assembly further comprises a liner adjacent to said interior surface of said tubular sleeve. 
     
     
         8 . The collapsible table of  claim 1  wherein said support arm has a range of motion of at least 90 degrees about said first hinged connection. 
     
     
         9 . The collapsible table of  claim 1  wherein said support arm has a range of motion from at least 90 degrees to about 180 degrees about said first hinged connection. 
     
     
         10 . The collapsible table of  claim 1  wherein said tabletop has a range of motion of at least 30 degrees about said second hinged connection. 
     
     
         11 . The collapsible table of  claim 1  wherein said tabletop has a range of motion of at least 90 degrees about said second hinged connection. 
     
     
         12 . The collapsible table of  claim 1  wherein said tabletop has a range of motion of at least 300 degrees about said second hinged connection. 
     
     
         13 . An apparatus comprising:
 a mounting assembly capable of being hingedly connected to an external support;   a support arm having a first end and a second end, wherein said first end is connected to said mounting assembly, and wherein said support arm extends outwardly from said mounting assembly;   a tabletop hingedly connected to the second end of said support arm; and   a support leg having a first end and a second end, wherein said first end is hingedly connected to said table at said first end of said support leg.
