First Claim
Patent Images
1. A board comprising:
- a worksurface;
at least one leg engaged at a first end of the at least one leg with the worksurface to support the worksurface;
a first pivotable fitting securing the at least one leg to the worksurface to allow the worksurface to be rotated along a first path between a first position where the worksurface is substantially perpendicular to the at least one leg and a second position where the worksurface is substantially parallel with the at least one leg; and
a locking mechanism extending from a first end to a second end;
wherein the first end of the locking mechanism is secured to the worksurface through a second pivotable fitting; and
wherein the locking mechanism is rotatable about the second pivotable fitting between a storage position at which the locking mechanism extends substantially parallel with the worksurface and a work position at which the locking mechanism extends substantially perpendicular to the worksurface such that the second end engages the at least one leg when the worksurface in the first position.

Abstract
A system includes a board having opposing surfaces and at least one leg connected to one surface of the board through a first pivotable fitting to allow the board and the leg to move between a first position wherein the board and the leg are substantially parallel and a second position wherein the board and the leg are substantially perpendicular. The system also includes a locking mechanism secured to the board through a second pivotable fitting at a first end and configured to rotate at a second end opposite the first end between a storage position extending parallel with the board and a work position extending perpendicular to the board.
