Patent ID: 7430968

Claim:
A folding work platform apparatus adapted for use on a support surface, comprising: a pair of longitudinally-extending strip members; a work platform table having a top surface and a bottom surface disposed opposite the top surface and a side wall disposed between the top and bottom surfaces to define a thickness therebetween, the work platform table having a groove formed into the top surface and extending longitudinally completely across the top surface along a longitudinal axis, the groove including a first channel having a first width and a second channel disposed below the first channel and having a second width being less than the first width, the pair of strip members positioned longitudinally in the first channel and connected to the work platform table, the pair of strip members disposed apart from one another in the first channel to form a gap therebetween such that the gap and the second channel form an inverted T-shaped groove in the top surface of the work platform table; at least three legs movably adjoining the bottom surface of the work platform table, the at least three legs movable to and between a folded state wherein the at least three legs extend from the bottom surface generally parallel with one another and an extended state wherein the at least three legs extend from the bottom surface generally angularly away from the bottom surface and from one another for supporting the work platform table on the support surface; and a sub-table positioned below the bottom surface of the work platform table and movable between a working position disposed away from the bottom surface and a stowed position disposed adjacent the bottom surface, the sub-table including a plurality of slots sized with at least a slot width and a slot depth sized to receive a leg width of a respective one of the at least three legs when the legs are in the folded state, each slot extending from an outer periphery of the sub-table toward a center portion of the sub-table.
