Patent ID: 8397653

Claim:
A table comprising: a foldable table top including a first section and a second section, the first and second sections being movable 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 when in the unfolded position, the first and second sections being generally disposed adjacent and parallel to each other when in the folded position; a first hinge connected to the first section of the table top and the second section of the table top; a second hinge connected to the first section of the table top and the second section of the table top; and a cross member including a first portion disposed within an opening in the first hinge and a second portion disposed within an opening in the second hinge, the cross member movable within the opening in the first hinge and the opening in the second hinge between a first position in which the cross member is not aligned from the axis of rotation and a second position in which the cross member is aligned with the axis of rotation; wherein the cross member resists folding of the table top in the first position because the cross member is not aligned with the axis of rotation; and wherein the cross member facilitates folding and unfolding of the table top in the second position because the cross member is aligned with the axis of rotation.
