Abstract:
1. A mobile massage table, comprising: first, second, third, and fourth distinct platforms each having top and bottom sides, opposed short sides, and opposed long sides; a hinge rotatably coupling a respective first platform long side to a respective fourth platform long side to selectively rotate said fourth platform bottom side toward said first platform bottom side; a hinge rotatably coupling a respective second platform long side to a respective third platform long side to selectively rotate said third platform bottom side toward said second platform bottom side; a hinge rotatably coupling a respective first platform short side to a respective second platform short side to selectively rotate said second platform top side toward said first platform top side; a first leg rotatably coupled to said first platform for selective movement between a use configuration in which said first leg extends generally perpendicular to said first platform and a transport configuration in which said first leg extends toward said second platform generally parallel to said first platform; a second leg rotatably coupled to said second platform for selective movement between a use configuration in which said second leg extends generally perpendicular to said second platform and a transport configuration in which said second leg extends toward said first platform generally parallel to said second platform; a third leg rotatably coupled to said third platform for selective movement between a use configuration in which said third leg extends generally perpendicular to said third platform and a transport configuration in which said third leg extends toward said fourth platform generally parallel to said third platform; a fourth leg rotatably coupled to said fourth platform for selective movement between a use configuration in which said fourth leg extends generally perpendicular to said fourth platform and a transport configuration in which said fourth leg extends toward said third platform generally parallel to said fourth platform; a first center leg rotatably coupled to one of said first and second platforms for selective movement between a use configuration in which said first center leg extends generally perpendicular to said first and second platforms and a transport configuration in which said first center leg extends generally parallel to said first and second platforms; a second center leg rotatably coupled to one of said third and fourth platforms for selective movement between a use configuration in which said second center leg extends generally perpendicular to said third and fourth platforms and a transport configuration in which said second center leg extends generally parallel to said third and fourth platforms; a plurality of folding braces, a respective folding brace coupling each leg to a respective platform to selectively maintain each leg at a respective use configuration; and a sliding lock positioned on said third platform and movable between a first position in which said sliding lock interacts with only one of said third platform and said fourth platform and a second position in which said sliding lock interacts with both of said third platform and said fourth platform, said third and fourth platforms being maintained generally parallel to one another and said third platform top side being generally planar with said fourth platform top side when said sliding lock is at said second position.
