A folding table having a table board supported on and projecting outwardly from a wall in an open position, and foldable against the wall in such manner that the upper surface of the board faces outwardly from the wall and the support and mounting mechanism is entirely concealed. This mechanism includes a pair of parallel vertical tracks, slide elements that move along the tracks and are pivotally linked to the rear end of the board, and an articulated, pivotally mounted strut extending between the wall and the bottom surface of the board and foldable between the board and the wall. To open the table the rear end of the board, guided and supported by the tracks and slide elements, is moved vertically from an upper position to a lower position as the board pivots from a vertical to a horizontal orientation and the strut unfolds to support the board.

A folding table mountable on a wall, comprising: (a) a table board having a top surface, a bottom surface, a rear end, and a front end; (b) slide means, pivotally connected to the rear end of the board, for mounting the board on a wall for sliding vertical movement between an upper position at which
A folding table mountable on a wall, comprising: (a) a table board having a top surface, a bottom surface, a rear end, and a front end; (b) slide means, pivotally connected to the rear end of the board, for mounting the board on a wall for sliding vertical movement between an upper position at which the board depends vertically from the slide means with said top surface facing outwardly and a lower position at which the board projects horizontally from the slide means with said top surface facing upwardly; and (c) articulated strut means, having a rear end pivotally mountable on the wall beneath said lower position and a front end pivotally connected to the board beneath said bottom surface, for cooperating with the slide means to support the board stably in said lower position, said strut means being foldable between the board and the wall when the board is in the upper position so as to be concealed by the board; (d) said strut means comprising a rear strut arm having a rear end pivotally mountable on the wall, and a front end; and a front strut arm having a front end pivotally connected to the board beneath said bottom surface and a rear end pivotally connected to the rear strut arm at a locality adjacent the front end of the rear strut arm, such that the front and rear strut arms are relatively movable between an extended configuration in which the strut means supports the board stably in said lower position, and a folded configuration; said rear strut arm including a detent portion for overlying and bearing downwardly against the front strut arm when the arms are in the extended configuration to prevent relative pivotal movement of the arms beyond the extended configuration in a direction away from the folded configuration; the pivotal connections of the rear end of the rear strut arm, the front end of the front strut arm, and the rear end of the front strut arm, being relatively disposed so that in the extended configuration the pivotal connection of the rear end of the front strut arm lies below a straight line defined by the pivotal connections of the rear end of the rear strut arm and the front end of the front strut arm, and in the folded configuration, the pivotal connection of the rear end of the front strut arm is disposed rearwardly of a vertical line containing the pivotal connection of the front end of the front strut arm; (e) said slide means comprising a pair of horizontally spaced slide elements, a pair of parallel vertical tracks mountable on the wall and respectively receiving the slide elements for guided vertical sliding movement, upper stop means associated with said tracks for engaging said slide elements at an upper elevation corresponding to said upper position of said board to arrest upward motion of said slide elements, and means for respectively pivotally connecting the slide elements to the rear end of the board at points spaced transversely of the front-to-rear dimension of the board, the spacing between the tracks being less than the width of the board, and the tracks being positioned to be completely enclosed between said board and the wall, when said board is in said upper position, so as to be concealed by the board; and (f) said connecting means comprising an axially horizontal shaft rotatably carried by the board beneath said bottom surface, and a pair of obtusely angled V-shaped brackets fixedly mounted on and extending downwardly and rearwardly from said shaft and respectively pivotally connected to said slide elements for rotation relative thereto about a common horizontal axis parallel to said shaft, said brackets having apices, intermediate said shaft and said slide elements, disposed to engage said bottom surface of said board when said board is in said upper position.
