Retainer for securing a table in a folded position

US-7634969-B2

Abstract

A table may include a table top with a first portion that is movable relative to a second portion between a folded position and an unfolded position. The table may also include a retainer that is sized and configured to retain the table in a folded position so that the table does not unintentionally unfold when the folded table is being carried, transported and/or stored. To help retain the table in a folded position, the retainer may include a first end that is connected to the first portion of the table top and a second end that is connected to the second portion of the table top. In particular, the retainer may be connected to portions of the table such as the lower portion of the table top, the frame, one or more connecting rods or support members, and the like.
