Filed:
May 13, 2003
Appl. No.:

Inventors:
John M. Elliott - Edina MN
Assignee:
Sico Incorporated - Edina MN
International Classification:
A47B 3900
US Classification:

Abstract:
A folding picnic table has a frame including folding legs. The frame supports a tabletop and a bench extending along each side of the tabletop. The picnic table folds between a use position and a storage position with the benches folded onto the tabletop and tipped onto one side on a caster assembly. The table includes a locking device, automatically locking the seating structures to the tabletop at a partially tipped position; and automatically releasing the legs when the table is tipped to a storage position. The frame also includes a retainer plate that keeps the frame from accidentally folding when the benches are folded onto the tabletop for cleaning under the table or during tipping of the table to a storage position.
