Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Jan. 19, 1909.
' Application filed November 1, 1907. Sbrial No. 400,170.
useful Improvements inv Folding Tables; and
I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, ref: erence being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a partof this specification.
This invention relates to new and useful improvements in tables and especially in the provision of means for holding the legs folded. together underneath the top and comprises various other details of construction, combinations and arrangements of parts which will be hereinafter fully described and then specifically defined in the appended claim.
My invention is illustrated in the accompanying-drawings, in which Figure 1 is a bottom plan view of the folding table showing the application of my invention to the table. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional viewthroughthe table with the legs folded.v Fig. 3' is a perspective view showing the catch applied to the under portion of the table, and Big. 4 is an enlarged detail per.- spective of the spring catch. Reference now being had to the details of the drawings by letter, A designates a table .top which may be of any shape or size, provided preferably with a marginal flange A about the bottom surface thereof. [C-C designate two rounds orshafts which are journaled in apertures in the blocks D which are fastened to the inner faces of said flanges and designatelegs which are fixed to said rounds or shafts and adapted'to 1 rock therewith, the limit of the rocking move ments of said shaftsbeing one quarter of the arc of a circle, whereby the legs may be thrown at right angles to the table or folded parallel therewith.
- =FF designateV-shaped brace rods, the ends of which are bentin alinement'with ertures inithe legs; I p
G designates a strip which is fastened to the bottom of the table and H-H designate cleats which are fastened to saidstrip and spaced apart,; the inner ends of said cle ats upon a pin K fixed to said strip. pose of said cleats is to receive the angled each other and pivotally mounted in the ap- Y being under cut to receive the beveled ends of the button K which is pivotally mounted The purportions of said rod when the legs are opened out, the rods being held intermediate the ends of the button and the cleats. Aspringcatch Q made of a resilient material is fastened in any suitable manner to said strip -and has a transverse groove Q therein of sufiicient size to receive one of the angled portions of the brace rods, the extreme free end of the catch being upwardly bent in or,-
der to allow the rod to freely'pass under- 'neath the same, the spring catch yielding to allow the rod to engage the groove, after which said catch will spring down and securelyhold the rod which is folded over the under angled rod, as shown clearly in Fig.1- of the drawings.
In operation, when it is desired to fold the table, the button is first opened as shown in Fig. 1, the angled portions ofthe rod released from the cleats and the shafts or rounds givenja one quarter revolution, which wili throw the legs into folded relation, as shown in Fig. 1 cf the drawings. When the rods are folded-as shown, the angledportion" of one will rest upon the outer surfaceofoneof the cleats and the superimposed angled rod will bear against the under rod and hold the same against said cleat while the angled part of the outer V-shaped rod may bepu-shed underneath the resilient end of the catch and thereby securely holding the legs folded. When it is desired to throw the legs to open positions at right angles to the table, the
outer rod is pulled from underneath the spring catch, after which the rods may be adjusted and locked open or at right angles to the table.
What I lclairn to be new is n combination with a table having legs pivotally mounted thereon and adapted to fold underneath the table, V-shaped brace rods havingtheirends pivotally connected to said legs, the apex es being flattened and forming parallel portions, a stri fastened to the under surface of the table,-c eats project-.
