Once folded, the tabletop envelops the left folding mechanism, the left table leg, the right folding mechanism and the right table leg, such that the folding table appears as a long stripe shape and has a rectangular cross section, providing effects of a minimal occupied space and ease of portability when folded, and better stability and a bearing ability when unfolded.
Description

- The present disclosure provides a folding table, and in particular to a folding table that can be folded for storage and unfolded for use.
- A common conventional folding table is usually formed by one tabletop and two legs, wherein the legs and the tabletop are movably assembled. Thus, the legs can be unfolded at a bottom portion of the tabletop to form a table, or the legs can be folded at the bottom portion of the tabletop so as to achieve the effects of folding and storage.
- However, for such conventional folding table that merely has the legs gathered toward the bottom portion of the tabletop, the width of the tabletop when folded is the same as that when unfolded, resulting in drawbacks of occupying a space and lacking ease of portability. Moreover, when the folding table is unfolded, support with respect to the ground is achieved by means of only the legs, and this may lead to inadequacy in both stability and bearing ability.
- Therefore, it is an object of the present disclosure to aim to develop and disclose a folding table which appears as a long strip shape and has a rectangular cross section when folded to achieve effects of a minimal occupied space and ease of portability, and better stability and a bearing ability when unfolded.
