Abstract (en)

A folding leg table has a leg brace made up of elements 4, 5 and 6. The bars 6 hinge on the rest of the brace to allow the legs to fold up. When the legs are folded out, bars 6 are retained in position by the folded-over walls 10. The release of the bars 6 from their locked position is by movement along the hinge axis AA, before they begin to rotate around the axis AA. <IMAGE> <IMAGE> <IMAGE>
