upper leg section 31 a 31 b 31 c 31 d into its respective lower leg section 30 a 30 b 30 c 30 d according to a preferred method each upper leg section 31 a 31 b 31 c 31 d carries a pin 55 and when lowered into each respective lower leg section 30 a 30 b 30 c 30 d the pin 55 seats in the lower pin aperture 59 the sliders 25 on each lower leg section 30 a 30 b 30 c 30 d are then slid upwardly along the respective lower leg sections 30 a 30 b 30 c 30 d as the lower support 20 collapses from its fig1 position to the collapsed condition shown in fig4 with the support members 20 a 20 b 20 c 20 d 20 e 20 f 20 g 20 h pivoting as shown in fig4 and 5 and moving adjacently closer to each other preferably the sliders 25 are moved closer to each other and may engage each other at the end of the collapsing movement see fig4 the table top 12 and the upper support 18 attached thereto for example may be folded in half to form a semi circle in the configuration illustrated where the table top 12 is circular the frame 11 and table top 12 may be stored together in a carry case or lightweight bag 110 for ease of storage and transport although a preferred folding method is discussed alternate folding methods may be used to collapse and expand the table alternately when the table 10 is in the lowered height position represented by the phantom line position in fig1 preferably the pins 55 may already be seated in the lower apertures 59 formed in each lower leg.
