Abstract
A collapsible table structure includes a table top having a plurality of top leaves arranged side by side and pivoted to each other. A plurality of legs support the table top. Every two adjacent legs are connected to each other by mean of a pair of centrally pivoted bars, each having an end pivoted to one of the two adjacent legs and another pivoted to a collar that is slidable along the leg, thereby allowing the legs to be moved between a collapsed position and an opened position. One of the legs comprises a joint device provided on the top end thereof for forming a two direction pivotal joint with the table top and another one of the legs has a top retaining device mounted on the top end thereof for releasably retaining the table top thereon. The table top may be released from the legs and the top and legs may be separately collapsed. The collapsed legs may be enclosed in the collapsed table top, thereby minimizing the storage space that is needed for the collapsed table.
