Portable table top mountable onto a rail

Abstract

Disclosed is a portable table top mountable on a rail. The portable table top has a planar member defining a top portion and a bottom portion, and a fastening mechanism to removably attach the planar member to the rail. The fastening mechanism comprises a clip and a support member. The clip is securely attached to the bottom portion of the planar member. The clip has a slot for receiving a portion of the rail therein. The support member has a support plate and a securing mechanism. The securing mechanism abuttingly couples a first end of the support plate to the rail and enables a second end of the support plate to support the bottom portion of the planar member.

1 . A portable table top mountable onto a rail, the portable table top comprising:
 a planar member defining a top portion and a bottom portion; and   a fastening mechanism comprising,
 at least one clip securely attached to the bottom portion of the planar member, the at least one clip comprising a slot for receiving a portion of the rail therein, and 
 at least one support member comprising a support plate and a securing mechanism, the securing mechanism for abuttingly coupling a first end of the support plate to the rail and enabling a second end of the support plate to support the bottom portion of the planar member. 
   
   
   
       2 . The portable table top of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one clip further comprises a thumbscrew, the thumbscrew capable of being removably screwed in a threaded hole of the at least one clip, the thumbscrew further capable of being tightened to fix the portion of the rail between an end of the thumbscrew and the bottom portion of the planar member onto the rail. 
   
   
       3 . The portable table top of  claim 1 , wherein the support plate comprises an elongated slot, the elongated slot enabling the securing mechanism to move along the elongated slot to abuttingly couple the first end of the support plate to the rail and enabling the second end of the support plate to support the bottom portion of the planar member. 
   
   
       4 . The portable table top of  claim 3 , wherein the securing mechanism comprises a bolt in a threaded wing nut, the threaded wing nut configured to screw the bolt in the planar member from the bottom portion of the planar member. 
   
   
       5 . The portable table top of  claim 1 , wherein the slot of the at least one clip is a three sided slot. 
   
   
       6 . The portable table top of  claim 1 , further comprising at least one screw for securely attaching the at least one clip to the bottom portion of the planar member.
