Abstract

A collapsible table is provided which requires no tools for assembly or disassembly. A free-standing base is comprised of two interlocking I-shaped members. One I-shaped member is permanently and pivotably affixed to the under surface of the tabletop, and the other I-shaped member is entirely removable. In operation, the removable leg member is interconnected with the fixed leg member, and locked down under the table by a height-adjustable locking mechanism. The table is broken down by disengaging the removable leg member from the locking mechanisms, folding down the pivotable leg, placing the removable leg on top of the fixed leg, and locking both down by the same locking means.
