A collapsible table assembly having improved portability. A mechanism interconnects the table and supporting legs for moving the legs between a diverging supporting position, a folding position, and a storage position. A saw track assembly includes an upper platform for receiving a cutting device and a lower platform for supporting a workpiece during cutting connected to the upper platform. Each of the upper and lower platform are disposed above the table. A guide pin pivotally attaches the saw track to the table for allowing the saw track to pivot through a plane parallel to the table. A plurality of material supports supported by the table rotate between a first material supporting position for supporting a workpiece and a second unobstructing position for allowing the saw track to freely pivot through the plane without contacting the material supports.
1. A collapsible table assembly having improved portability, said assembly comprising:
a table having a periphery;
a first pair of legs and a second pair of legs spaced apart from one another and moveable between a storage position defined within said periphery and a supporting position for supporting said table having said pair of legs extending downwardly from said periphery;
each of said pair of legs having a first leg and a second leg coupled to said table and being extendable inwardly and outwardly for creating a stable supporting position when said legs are outwardly extending and for allowing said respective pair of legs to be stored within said periphery in said storage position when said legs are inwardly extending; and
a strut having a first end pivotally attached to said table and a second end pivotally attached to one of said first and second pairs of legs for maintaining said respective pair of legs in said supporting position.
2. An assembly as set forth in claim 1 further comprising a foldable linkage interconnecting said first and said second legs for permitting a pivoting movement between said outwardly extending supporting position and said inwardly extending storage position.
3. An assembly as set forth in claim 1 further comprising a support rotatable about a connecting axis and extending between said first and said second legs rotatably attaching said legs to said table.
4. An assembly as set forth in claim 3 further comprising first and second pivots coupled to said support and pivotally connecting said first and said second legs respectively to said support for extending inwardly and outwardly.
5. An assembly as set forth in claim 2 wherein said foldable linkage further comprises a first link and a second link pivotally attached to said first leg and said second leg respectively.
6. An assembly as set forth in claim 5 wherein said foldable linkage further comprises a fastener pivotally connecting said first link and said second link.
7. An assembly as set forth in claim 2 wherein said strut is further defined as attached to said foldable linkage for maintaining said respective pair of legs in said supporting position.
8. An assembly as set forth in claim 1 further comprising a leg lock associated with each pair of legs coupled to said table for maintaining said pair of legs in said storage position.
9. An assembly as set forth in claim 1 wherein said periphery is further defined as a first rail and a second rail spaced from said first rail.
10. An assembly as set forth in claim 9 further comprising cross-members interconnecting said first and said second rails.
11. An assembly as set forth in claim 1 further comprising a pair of struts each attached to one of said first and second pairs of legs for maintaining said respective pair of legs in said supporting position.
12. An assembly as set forth in claim 1 further comprising a handle coupled to said table for transporting said assembly in said storage position.
