Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . A folding table comprising:
a supporting frame including a leg portion, an interconnecting portion and a central supporting structure; and a table top that is detachable from the supporting frame, wherein the leg portion includes a plurality of legs and the interconnecting portion is used to connect the legs of the leg portion, and the central supporting structure is located at center portion of the supporting frame to provide additional support to the supporting frame and is configured to start a table folding process, wherein the leg portion has four legs that are located at four corners of the supporting frame, and each leg has an upper section and a lower section, wherein the interconnecting portion has four identical sub-portions to connect with four legs, and each of the sub-portions has an upper connecting portion and a lower connecting portion, wherein the upper connecting portion is configured to pivotally connect with two first connectors while the lower connecting portion is configured to pivotally connect with two second connectors, wherein the upper connecting portion has two upper bar members and the lower connecting portion has two lower bar members, and an interconnector is used to pivotally connect two upper bar members and two lower bar members, wherein a bullet head connector is disposed at each of both ends of the lower bar members to lock the lower section of each leg through a connecting hole on the upper section of each leg when the lower section thereof is released from the upper section thereof.
2 . The folding table of claim 1 , wherein the bullet head connector includes a head unit, a body unit, a base, and a spring covering the body unit, and the head unit is retractable from the body unit.
3 . The folding table of claim 1 , wherein when the table is in a fully opening position but the lower section of each leg is still received in the upper section, the head unit and a portion of the body unit of the bullet head connector are pushed into the connecting hole by the lower bar member.
4 . The folding table of claim 1 , wherein a conjugating hole is formed on the outer surface of the lower section of each leg closed to an upper portion thereof, so that when the lower section of each legs is released from the upper portion, the retractable head unit is configured to automatically come out and insert into the conjugating hole to lock the legs to secure the legs when the connecting hole and conjugating hole are aligned with each other.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
