Portable folding utility table with center support assembly
DCFirst Claim
1. A utility table, comprising:
- a frame comprising opposing sides;
a table top disposed in relation to said frame, said table top having a mounting surface and a working surface disposed opposite the mounting surface;
a pair of support pedestals, each support pedestal having a first end attached to said frame;
a retention member engaging said opposing sides of said frame;
a first pivotal support brace having a proximal end attached to the first support pedestal and a distal end engaging said retention member;
a second pivotal support brace having a proximal end attached to the second support pedestal and a distal end engaging said retention member; and
the distal end of the first pivotal support brace being attached to the distal end of the second pivotal support brace by means of said retention member.

Abstract
A pivotable folding utility table includes a table top having a pair of support pedestals pivotally attached thereto. A first pivotal support brace, which includes a proximal end and a distal end, is attached at its proximal end to the first support pedestal. A second pivotal support brace, which includes a proximal end and a distal end, is attached at its proximal end to the second support pedestal. The distal ends of the first and second pivotal support braces are adapted to be pivotally attached to a retaining assembly, mounted in relation to the table top. The distal ends of each pivotal support brace are disposed contiguously in relation to each other when engaging the retaining assembly. Specifically, the retaining assembly includes a cross-brace member operably disposed through openings formed in the distal ends of the first and second pivotal support braces, thus providing a pivotal engagement in relation to the table top.

9. A utility table, comprising:
-
a frame comprising opposing side rails; a table top disposed in relation to said rigid frame said table top having a mounting surface and a working surface disposed opposite the mounting surface; a pair of support pedestals, each support pedestal having a first end attached to the mounting surface of the table top, thereby permitting each of the support pedestals to be moved between a collapsed and an extended position; a retention member engaging said opposing side rails of said frame; a first pivotal support brace having a proximal end attached to the first support pedestal and a distal end pivotally attached to the mounting surface; a second pivotal support brace having a proximal end attached to the second support pedestal and a distal end pivotally attached to the mounting surface; and the distal end of the first pivotal support brace and the distal end of the second pivotal support brace engagably secured to each other by means of said retention member. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 45)
