Description
WALTER H. TRITCH AND CLAYTONV J. MCGULEY,'OF HAGERSTOWN, MARYLAND.
TABLE-LEAF SUTPORT.
Specification of Lette-rs Patent.
Patented Nov. 24, 1908.
y Applicationmeanugustz-i,1907. serial No.j39o,o1o.
To all whom 'it may concern:
Be it known that we, WALTER H. TRrroH and CLAYTON J. MCCAULEY, citizens of the United States, residing at Hagerstown, in the county of Washington and State of Maryland, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Table-Leaf Supports, of which the following is a specication, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.
This invention relates to improvements in table-leaf supports, and has for itsobject the improvement of the construction of the means for supporting the bracket, which bracket is engaged 'by the hinged or dropleaf of a table.
Another object of the invention is the provision of means for facilitating the supporting of a drop-leaf in a 'horizontal position. i
With these and other objects in view, the invention consists of certain novel constructions, combinations, and arrangements of parts, as will be hereinafter fully described and claimed.
In the drawings: Figure 1 is a perspective view of a device constructedinaccordance with the present invention,andy showing the same applied to a table. Fig. `2 is a view, in side elevation, of the structure depicted in Fig. 1, and showing,V part of the same in section. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the bracket-support. Fig. 4 is a view, in side elevation, of another embodiment of the bracket-support. l
Referring to the drawings by numerals, 1 designates the frame, which isv provided, preferably, upon its upper edge 2, with a transverse notch or cut-out portion`3.
The bracket-support is, preferably, formed or cast in a single-piece of metal and comprises aprimary, lvertical portion or side 4 and an auxiliary side 5; the primary and auxiliary sides 4 and 5 being connected by a horizontal, integral portion or top 6. The
Thebracket-support is provided upon the front portion or body 4 with horizontal lugs 6, a lug or depending toothv Fig. 4) which will sink intol 11. These lugs 11` constitute transverse, re-
inforcing means for the body or front wall of the bracket-support 4, as said lugs extend entirely across the same, and greatly reinforce said body. Each lug is provided with r a vertical aperture or socket 12, within which is mounted the pins 13 of the bracket 14.
To attach our table-leaf support to a table, it is only necessary to hook the bracket-support over the frame, and if the bracket 14 has not been placed upon the bracket-sup port, then place the pins 13 of the bracket in the apertured, reinforcing lugs. When it is desired to permit the drop-leaf 18 to be turned down or placed in a vertical position, this can be quickly accomplished by swinging the bracket parallel with the frame 1. It has been pointed out that if the bracket is not provided with a lug or tooth 7, it is preferable to position the same in the notch 3. It will be obvious that the notch 3 is preferable, of the same depth as the thickness of thehorizontal portion G, so as to permit the top 10 to lie comparatively snug against the edge 2. Our device is very simple and of a peculiar structure, thereby permitting the same to be quickly attached to or detached from a table.
i/Vhat we claim is:
1. A device of the character described, comprising a bracket-support, said bracketsupport provided at its upper end with a hook, said bracket-support provided with y apertured lugs extending from one side thereof, a bracket comprising a horizontal portion and an inclined portion, a vertical portion integrally connecting said horizontal and inclined portions intermediate their ends, pins secured to said horizontal and inclined portions upon one side and contiguous to their ends, said pins positioned .within the apert'ured lugs, and the ends of said portions constituting a stop for limiting pivotal movement of said bracket upon said lugs.
2. A device of the character described, comprising a bracket-'support provided with integral apertured lugs extending from one side thereof, a bracket comprising a plurality of portions spaced apart at their inner ends, the inner ends of the portions positioned above the lugs and normally bearing against the outer face of the bracket-support, pins positioned in the apertured lugs and integral with the sides of said portions contiguous to said ends, said pins permitting the portions to pivot in one direction upon the brackets, and the ends of said portions constitute stops for limiting pivotal movement of the portions.
3. A device of the character described,
comprising a bracket-support formed from a single-piece, provided upon its outer face with horizontal reinforcing lugs, each lug extending entirely across the bracket and provided with a cylindrical central portion and with webs extending outwardly from said central portion, each web decreasing in thickness from the central portion to its outer end, a pivotally-mounted bracket: or leaf carried by said lugs, said bracket coinprising portions having their inner ends spaced apart, pins secured to the sides of said portions and positioned in the cylindrical body-portions of the lugs, and the inner ends of said portions and the last nientioned bracket. constituting stops.
4t. As a ne\y article of manufacture, a device of the character described, comprising a single-piece bracket-support provided with a vertical body having at its upper end a hook adapted to partly surround the upper edge of a support, said body provided with horizontal lugs, each lug provided with a cylindrical body terminating at opposite .sides in webs decreasing in thickness 'troni their inner ends to their outer ends, a hinged bracket carried by said lugs, .said hinged bracket provided with an upper and lower portion, and each portion provided with a pin intermediate its ends, said pins extending into said lugs.
5. A device of the character described, comprising a. vertical bracket-support provided with horizontal lugs on its outer face, a swinging bracket or leaf supported upon said lugs, said swinging bracket comprising upper and lower portions integrally connected, said portions having their inner ends bearing against the outer face of the-braelnt between the upper and .lower ends of said face, and means secured to the ends of the upper and lower portions and positioned in the lugs for pivotally mounting said swinging bracket upon said lugs.
In testimony whereof wc hereunto aliix our signatures in presence of two witnes.
