Abstract

See full text

A planar cross brace for stiffening a tabletop of a fold-in-half collapsible table includes an elongate rectangular planar portion having elongate opposing side edges and narrow opposing end edges that are perpendicular to the side edges. A pair of opposing tabs extend from the opposing end edges in a direction perpendicular to the rectangular planar portion. A pair of opposing ribs extend from the opposing side edges in a direction perpendicular to the rectangular planar portion, thereby forming an elongate channel having a U-shaped cross section. The planar cross brace stiffens the inner edge of the tabletop portion to which it is attached, and the stiffening is independent of any connection to the inner edge of the other tabletop portion. This eliminates any need for interlocking features on the inner edges of the tabletop portions, such as those required by prior art tables.
