Abstract
A table can be folded in the interior of a motor vehicle and comprises a table top arranged on a vehicle-mounted support so that the table top can be moved from a resting position, in which the table plane is oriented substantially vertically, into a usage position oriented substantially horizontally. The support extends in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle and the table top is fastened to the support so the table top can be pivoted by a table top retainer from the vertical resting position into a horizontal position about a pivot axis in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. The table top and/or the table top retainer can be locked in the usage position by a locking device when the table top is in the horizontal position and/or in the vertical position. When the table top is in the horizontal position and/or in the vertical position, the table top retainer is supported so that it can be moved in or opposite the direction of travel to lock the table top retainer into a catch recess of the support that extends in or opposite the direction of travel, and the retainer is secured against pivoting about the first pivot axis.
