1. A table comprising:
- a bottom plate having a bottom plate channel and an outer wall;
a bottom plate lip joined to the outer wall;
a top plate having a top plate lip overlying and parallel to the bottom plate lip, the top plate lip joined to the top plate via a joggle having an angle section extending downward at an acute angle from the top plate to the top plate lip;
a frame having a lower end in the bottom plate channel and an upper end in contact with the top plate;
a ductile edge piece having a first arm joined to a second arm via a radius, the ductile edge piece clamping the top plate lip and the bottom plate lip together, the ductile edge piece extending substantially entirely around a perimeter of the top plate; and
the bottom plate having a pattern of projections, a top surface of substantially each projection in contact with a lower surface of the top plate.

Abstract
A composite table top including a top plate having an outer and an inner surface, a bottom plate comprising a plurality of projections, each of the plurality of projections having a top defining a top surface. The composite table top has at least a pair of reinforcement inserts disposed at two opposite edges of the bottom plate. The sum of the top surfaces of the plurality of projections is 30%-70% of the upper surface of the bottom plate.

11. A table comprising:
-
a bottom plate having a pattern of projections, a bottom plate channel and an outer wall; a bottom plate lip joined to a top end of the outer wall; a top plate lip overlying, parallel to, and contacting the bottom plate lip, the top plate lip joined to a top plate via a joggle having an angle section extending downward at an acute angle from the top plate to the top plate lip; a top surface of substantially each projection in contact with a lower surface of the top plate; a tubular metal frame, with a lower end of the metal frame in the channel and an upper end of the frame in contact with the top plate, and the outer wall in contact with and parallel to one side of the tubular metal frame; an edge piece having a first arm joined to a second arm via a radius, the edge piece clamping the top plate lip and the bottom plate lip together; the edge piece and the tubular metal frame extending entirely around an upper perimeter area of the top plate; and a leg assembly pivotally attached to the frame. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A table comprising:
-
a bottom plate having a bottom plate channel and an outer wall; a bottom plate lip joined perpendicularly to the outer wall; a top plate having a top plate lip overlying and parallel to the bottom plate lip, the top plate lip joined to the top plate via a joggle having an angle section extending downward at an acute angle from the top plate to the top plate lip; a frame having a lower end in the bottom plate channel and an upper end of the frame in contact with the top plate; the outer wall of the bottom plate in contact with and parallel to one side of the frame; the frame on a step in the bottom plate channel; a bottom gap between a bottom surface of the bottom plate channel and the frame, and the bottom gap between the step and the outer wall of the bottom plate; an edge piece having a first arm joined to a second arm via a radius, the edge piece clamping the top plate lip and the bottom plate lip together, the edge piece extending entirely around a perimeter of the top plate; and the bottom plate having a pattern of projections, a top surface of each projection in contact with a lower surface of the top plate.
