Claim Text:
1. A table comprising: a foldable table top including a first section and a second section, the first and second sections being moveable about an axis of rotation between an unfolded position and a folded position, the first and second sections being generally aligned in the same plane in the unfolded position, the first and second sections being generally disposed adjacent and parallel to each other in the folded position, the axis of rotation being spaced apart from the first section and the second section by a distance when the first section and the second section are in the unfolded position; a frame including a first portion connected to the first section of the table top and a second portion connected to the second section of the table top, the first and second portions of the frame rotatably connected about the axis of rotation; one or more hinges rotatably connecting the first and second sections of the table top; and a locking member movable between a locked position in which the locking member is not aligned with the axis of rotation and an unlocked position in which the locking member is aligned with the axis of rotation, the locking member being spaced apart from the axis of rotation by a distance in the locked position; the locking member preventing the rotating of the first and second portions of the frame about the axis of rotation in the locked position, the locking member allowing the rotation of the first and second portions of the frame about the axis of rotation in the unlocked position; wherein the locking member locks the first and second portions of the frame in a fixed position to prevent folding of the table top when the locking member is in the locked position; and wherein the locking member facilitates folding of the table top when the locking member is in the unlocked position.
