Abstract
A method and apparatus are disclosed for attaching the top of a table tennis table to a tubular apron which supports the table top. The table top has planar upper, lower end and side surfaces. The tubular apron has a substantially planar upper wall for supportingly engaging the lower surface of the table top. The table top and tubular apron are attached to each other by a clip which is formed of steel having a thickness of approximately 0.050 inch. The clip comprises a right angled J-shaped portion, and a pronged leg extending from one end of the J-shaped portion at an acute angle of approximately 45.degree.. One end of the J-shaped portion frictionally engages the upper surface of the table top while the pronged leg bitingly engages an inner wall surface of the tubular apron to retain the clip in position, thus fixedly attaching the top to the apron.
