1. A folding table, comprising: a table top which is pivotable between a work or use position and an approximately vertically extending storage position,a locking means by which the table top can be locked in the work or use position thereof and in the storage position thereof, the locking means being biased to a locked position by a spring means,a disengagement means located under the table top by which the locking means can be unlocked, the disengagement means comprising first and second hand-actuatable disengagement means, which each can be adjusted relative to the locking means at least with a component transverse to a horizontal pivot axis of the table top or towards a longitudinal edge of the table top, against the force of the spring means, to unlock the table top,wherein the disengagement means further comprises first and second foot-actuatable disengagement means being adjustable relative to the locking means to unlock the table top,wherein the table top is pivotable in two opposite directions about the horizontal pivot axis into the storage position, wherein the first foot-actuatable disengagement means and the first hand-actuatable disengagement means are arranged behind one another in a disengagement direction and spaced apart at a distance (D) on a table half that is below the horizontal pivot axis when the table top is pivoted into the storage position, and the second foot-actuatable disengagement means and the second hand-actuatable disengagement means are arranged behind one another in the disengagement direction and spaced apart at a distance (D) on a table half that is above the horizontal pivot axis when the table top is pivoted into the storage position,wherein each of the hand-actuatable disengagement means has a height (H′) extending transverse to the table top, and wherein each of the foot-actuatable disengagement means has a height (H″), raised transverse to the table top, which is greater than the height (H′) of the hand-actuatable disengagement means, the height (H′), the height (H″), and the distance (D) defining uneven U-shaped troughs respectively between the first hand-actuatable disengagement means and the first foot-actuatable disengagement means and between the second hand-actuatable disengagement means and the second foot-actuatable disengagement means, andwherein based on an adjacent longitudinal edge of the table top, the first and second hand-actuatable disengagement means are respectively arranged closer to the adjacent longitudinal edge than the first and second foot-actuatable disengagement means. 2. A folding table according to claim 1, wherein the respective hand actuatable disengagement means and foot-actuatable disengagement means are formed on a shared actuation member. 3. A folding table according to claim 2, wherein the hand-actuatable and foot-actuatable disengagement means, which are positioned or formed on a shared actuation member, are adjustable along a guide in a sliding manner. 4. A folding table according to claim 1, wherein a length (L) of each of the foot-actuatable disengagement means is greater than a length of each of the hand-actuatable disengagement means. 5. A folding table according to claim 1, wherein in an actuation direction, the foot-actuatable disengagement means are arranged or dimensioned in such a way as to cover or conceal the respective hand-actuatable disengagement means located behind them. 6. A folding table according to claim 1, wherein the foot-actuatable disengagement means or the hand-actuatable disengagement means are in the form of webs and extend in the longitudinal direction thereof or at least over portions in the longitudinal direction of the table top or parallel to the horizontal pivot axis of the table top. 7. A folding table according to claim 1, wherein the hand-actuatable disengagement means and the respective foot-actuatable disengagement means are mutually offset in the longitudinal direction of the table top. 8. A folding table comprising: a table top mounted on a support base, the table top being pivotable about a horizontal axis relative to the support base between a use position and a storage position;a lock assembly operable to selectively lock the table top in the use position and the storage position, the lock assembly being biased toward a locked position by a spring; anda pair of disengagement units, one each disposed on opposite sides of the horizontal axis, each of the disengagement units including a hand-actuatable disengagement member coupled with the lock assembly and displaceable against the spring bias to release the lock assembly, and a foot-operated disengagement member coupled with the lock assembly and displaceable against the spring bias to release the lock assembly,wherein the hand-actuatable disengagement member and foot-operated disengagement member of each of the disengagement units are arranged behind one another and spaced apart in a disengagement direction,wherein each of the hand-actuatable disengagement members has a height (H′) extending transverse to the table top, and wherein each of the foot-actuatable disengagement members has a height (H″), raised transverse to the table top, which is greater than the height (H′) of the hand-actuatable disengagement members, the height (H′), the height (H″), and a distance between the hand- and foot-actuatable disengagement members defining uneven U-shaped troughs respectively between the first hand-actuatable disengagement member and the first foot-actuatable disengagement member and between the second hand-actuatable disengagement member and the second foot-actuatable disengagement member, andwherein the hand-actuatable disengagement member of each of the disengagement units is positioned closer to a longitudinal edge of the table top than the respective foot-operated disengagement member. 9. A folding table according to claim 8, wherein the hand-actuatable disengagement member and the foot-operated disengagement member of each disengagement unit are formed on a shared actuation member. 10. A folding table according to claim 9, wherein each foot-operated disengagement member protrudes farther from a bottom surface of the table top than the respective hand-actuatable disengagement member.
