Abstract

Table perfected for the practice of chess, characterized by comprising a flat board, fixed in articulated form to a folding support frame, consisting of two frames articulated together, which are mounted crossed, defining two blades or opposite side scissors, one of whose frames is constituted by two rectilinear and parallel uprights, joined together by at least one crossbar, which are articulated directly by their ends to respective opposite brackets, joined to the lower face of the board while the other frame is constituted by two rectilinear and parallel uprights, joined together by a lower crossbar and another upper end, whose uprights are articulated to the extremities of both arms which, at their opposite ends, are articulated, in turn, to opposing supports joined to the face bottom of the board; all in such a way that the set can adopt, either a retracted position, in which occupies a minimum volume, with the blades, closed sides, the expressed arms folded on the indicated posts, and the board located on a plane approximately vertical, or a position folded, with the side wings open, the arms aligned with the uprights, retained in this position by an adequate system of stops, and the board located in a horizontal plane; with the essential feature, furthermore, that the lower extremities of the uprights that constitute the support legs of the assembly, are sharply curved outwards, increasing the dimensions of the ideal support base of the assembly when it is placed therein in the position of use, u determining that this set can stand on its own, being perfectly stable, when it happens to occupy the referred folded position.
