Patent ID: 8601954

Claim:
A display table and shipping platform apparatus comprising: a first platform assembly; a second platform assembly; each of said first platform assembly and said second platform assembly comprising: a platform section defined having a mating edge, a distal edge located opposite said mating edge, a pair of lateral edges extending perpendicular between said mating edge and said distal edge, and a thickness extending between a shipping platform top surface and a shipping platform underside, a pair of platform support sections, each platform support section extending downward from the underside of each platform proximate said respective lateral edge, a plurality of leg receiving apertures, each leg receiving aperture extending into said platform section from the underside thereof, and at least one leg storage channel extending inward from said mating edge of platform section; and at least four leg subassemblies, each leg subassembly comprising an assembly interface segment extending from an end of a leg body segment, wherein said display table and shipping platform apparatus is convertible between a platform configuration and a shipping configuration; the platform configuration being arranged assembling one of said at least four leg subassemblies into a respective leg receiving aperture of said plurality of leg receiving apertures of one of said first platform assembly and said second platform assembly, wherein each leg subassembly is substantially perpendicular to the top surface of said respective platform assembly forming a table, and the shipping configuration being arranged orienting said first platform assembly mating surface opposing said second platform assembly mating surface opposing placing said at least one leg storage channel of each of said first platform assembly and said second platform assembly in alignment with one another, and having at least a portion of said at least four leg subassemblies inserted into and extending between mating leg storage channels of said at least one leg storage channel of each of said first platform assembly and said second platform assembly, thus supporting combining and supporting an assembly of said first platform assembly and said second platform assembly aligning said first shipping platform top surface and said second shipping platform top surface in a coplanar arrangement creating a single larger shipping platform top surface.
