This invention relates to articles of furniture, particularly demountable tables and like articles such as flat tables or box type tables, which can be mounted on the side of a bunk bed or other articles of furniture or indeed other surfaces where applicable
More specifically the invention is concerned with providing a table with means whereby it can be clamped on another member such as the side of a bunk bed so as to be within easy reach of the occupant
According to the invention a demountable table comprise a bracket assembly wherein there is a clamping bracket wluch is mounted for example to the side of a bunk bed by means of a clamp or clamps the clamping bracket is arranged so that the clamping bracket also forms the table support, a diagonal brace which is part of the clamping bracket also forms the table base support, a diagonal support brace which is part of the clamping bracket provides the table surface which when affixed is maintained to remain horizontal.
The table surface is arranged whereby a shaped metal plate is fixed non-detachably to the underside of the table in such a manner that the table can be fitted to the clamping bracket by means of sliding the table base over the protruding surface of the clamping bracket.
The metal plate which is non detachably fixed to the underside of the table base is shaped in such a way that there is provided a space between the metal plate and the underside of the table base relative to the shape and size of the protruding end of the clamping bracket, there is also provided in the non detachable base plate and on the protruding part of the clamp bracket a slot which the diagonal support brace passes through.
The diagonal support brace will stop the table from sliding off the clamping bracket while the table is being used in such a manner that the user can push the table or pull the table on the clampmg bracket, which for this purpose will be refereed to as a horizontal plane.
The table may be fixed to the closed position by inserting a bolt and wing nut.
A specific embodiment of the invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings in which :- FIG 1. Is a side view of the table (10) and clamping bracket (12) fixed for example to the side of a tubular framed bunk bed this view also shows the fixing clamps (14), the diagonal support brace (l1), the shaped metal plate (16) fixed to the table by screws (15) FIG 2. Is the same view ass FIG 1 however FIG 2 illustrates the position of the table (lO) after being pushed, pulled or slid to an open position the view more clearly illustrates which part of the clampmg bracket (12) the table (11) moves on.
FIG 3. Gives an overall view or face on view of the various assembled parts FIG 4 Shows in perspective the table in the closed position FIG 5 Shows in perspective the table in the open position.
