Claim:
A tabletop and a leg to support the tabletop in combination with a leg latching mechanism, the combination comprising: a base rigidly secured to the tabletop, the base having a base catch; a latch movably secured to the base, the latch having a first catch; a rotor rotatable between a first configuration and a second configuration rotatably secured to the base, rigidly secured to the leg, rotatable about a first axis of rotation oriented parallel to the tabletop, rotatable between an use position and a storage position, and having a first latching surface partially encircling the first axis of rotation, the first latching surface including a first inner surface substantially defined by and encompassing a first circular cylindrical arc with a first central axis on the first axis of rotation of the rotor, a first radius from the first central axis, and a first arc length of a first distance; a first protrusion surface distant from a second protrusion surface, each protrusion surface radially aligned with the first axis of rotation and extending from the first inner surface; and a first notch area substantially defined by and complimentary to the first catch of the latch, the first notch area having a first opening of a second distance wherein the second distance is substantially less than the first distance; wherein in the first configuration the base catch is contacting the second protrusion surface and the first protrusion surface is contacting the first catch; and wherein in the second configuration the first protrusion surface is contacting the base catch.
