Abstract
A flip top table includes a table surface which is hingedly connected to a pedestal leg so that the table surface may be pivoted between a generally vertical storage position and a generally horizontal use position. The hinge which connects the table surface to the pedestal leg includes a lock mechanism which holds the table surface down when in its horizontal and usable position, a release which releases the lock and a latch or arm which will prevent the table surface from falling when it is in its vertical storage position.
