Hardware Around Town - Guden Table Leg Braces

Most of you have probably looked under a folding table and seen how the legs are connected. Or maybe you've even had to collapse one down or set a table up at a backyard party or family event. This folding piece of hardware is a table leg brace. There is usually a safety button mechanism to keep it in the straight position, and when pressed, it allows for the unit to fold down so the table leg can collapse down under the table. I found this more non-standard application use of one on this stepladder, but the concept it still the same. You straighten the brace to lock it in place, then depress the safety lock button to refold it. Guden also offers smaller versions as lid and fall supports, with a built-in bump over style locking mechanism that requires pressure for folding instead of a push button. Perfect for lower weight applications. Check out all the styles of supports and braces Guden has to offer here.
