Abstract (en)

[origin: WO02062175A1] A method of folding a table (3) together to a low stacking height, said table comprising means for stabilizing table legs or a frame in a folded-together and/or folded-out position, whereby, when rotating the frame (1, 2) at opposite ends for folding-together, the rotation of the frame (1, 2) about a connecting member (8) causes a lateral displacement of the frames (1, 2) in opposite directions relative to each other by guide means (7), such that the folded-together frames (1, 2) are disposed in the same plane, as well as a fitting (5) for use in the method, said fitting (5) comprising an internal cylinder face (6) which is formed with a groove (7) for a guide knob for a frame (1, 2). The fitting (5) is assembled from two uniform halves (14, 15) with a preferably soft assembling part (16), said assembling part (16) constituting a support face when stacking tables (3) in a folded-together state. The fitting (5) also comprises a milled portion or a groove (12) for receiving an assembling means when putting several tables (3) together.
