Abstract

A foldable banquet table and bench set includes a panel unit, a support unit, and an attachment frame. The panel unit includes a tabletop and at least a bench top. The support unit includes a table leg frame foldably coupled at the tabletop to form a foldable table, and a bench leg frame foldably coupled at the bench top to form a foldable bench, wherein the table leg frame is longer than the bench leg frame. The table leg frame and the bench leg frame are detachably and spacedly coupled at the attachment frame, such that the attachment frame not only retains a distance between the foldable table and the foldable bench but also interlocks the foldable table and the foldable bench at their unfolded positions by different leg heights.

         6 . The foldable banquet table and bench set, as recited in  claim 5 , wherein a distance between said attachment runners is the same as a distance between said bottom ends of said two leg frames of each of said foldable table and said foldable bench. 
     
     
         7 . The foldable banquet table and bench set, as recited in  claim 4 , wherein each of said attachment members has a tubular attachment socket, having a top inserting opening, upwardly extended from said attachment runner to detachably receive said bottom end of said leg frame through said top inserting opening. 
     
     
         8 . The foldable banquet table and bench set, as recited in  claim 6 , wherein each of said attachment members has a tubular attachment socket, having a top inserting opening, upwardly extended from said attachment runner to detachably receive said bottom end of said leg frame through said top inserting opening. 
     
     
         9 . The foldable banquet table and bench set, as recited in  claim 4 , wherein each of said attachment members has a tubular attachment socket, having a side inserting opening, slidably coupled at said attachment runner, wherein said bottom end of said leg frame has a L-shaped configuration to detachably insert into said tubular attachment socket through said side inserting opening. 
     
     
         10 . The foldable banquet table and bench set, as recited in  claim 6 , wherein each of said attachment members has a tubular attachment socket, having a side inserting opening, slidably coupled at said attachment runner, wherein said bottom end of said leg frame has a L-shaped configuration to detachably insert into said tubular attachment socket through said side inserting opening. 
     
     
         11 . The foldable banquet table and bench set, as recited in  claim 4 , wherein each of said attachment members has an elastic clip upwardly extended from said attachment runner, wherein said bottom end of said leg frame has a L-shaped configuration to detachably engage with said elastic clip. 
     
     
         12 . The foldable banquet table and bench set, as recited in  claim 6 , wherein each of said attachment members has an elastic clip upwardly extended from said attachment runner, wherein said bottom end of said leg frame has a L-shaped configuration to detachably engage with said elastic clip. 
     
     
         13 . The foldable banquet table and bench set, as recited in  claim 1 , wherein a width of said tabletop is larger than a width of said bench top and a length of said tabletop is the same as a length of said bench top. 
     
     
         14 . The foldable banquet table and bench set, as recited in  claim 6 , wherein a width of said tabletop is larger than a width of said bench top and a length of said tabletop is the same as a length of said bench top.
