ANTON DIETSOH, OF FRANKFORT STATION, ILLINOIS. i

Letters Patent No. 102,235, (lated .April 26, 1870.

IMPROVED EXTENSION TABLE The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part ol the lame..

To alt whom 'it mayhconcewzy Be it known that I, ANTON DIETsoH, ofvlrankfort station, in the county of Will and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement in EX-V tension Tables; and I do declare that the following is a true and accurate description thereof', reference being had to the accompanying vdrawings and to the letters of reference marked thereon, and being a part of this specification, in which- Y Figure l is an elevation of my improved extension table, partly in section.

Figure 2 is a bottom plan view of my improvedtable, showing the arrangement of the frame-work and braces. i

The nature of this invention relates lto an improve-- ment in extension tables; and

It consists vin the peculiar construction and arrangement of its several-parts, as hereinafter described.

In the drawings- The top of the table appears intwo sections, A Af',

l which, when the table is closed, are separated onlyv hinges t0 the sliding bars K at k in such a manner' as to bring them beneath the top of the table Awhen folded, so that the sections of the top can pass over theni up even with the center piece E, to which the 'top is then made fast by a spring-lock or catch.

The bars K, to the end of which vthe extension leaves are hinged, bear on the springs O, the pressure of which starts the table apartas soon as released from the catch or lock holding it, and makes ,it an easy matter to open it. i

D is the frame of the table.

d, the legs,

G G are cross-pieces, which serve to brace and strengthen the frame.

H Hl H2 are sections of the frame pivoted or hinged to the main frame at I, serving both to support the extension leaveswhen open and to steady and strengthen the whole frame; when open and in use they are locked or hooked to the legs of the center piece E.-

When the table is not extended the sections are folded .back beneath the cross-piece G, as shown at' H1, H2 G'. Y

M is a sliding brace, to support the leaves B. When it is desired to extend this table the sections AA are loosed from the center piece E and started by the force ofthe bars K pressed against the shut leaves by the springs o. the leaves c c areraised up even with the top, and the sections H of the frame are brought around and locked or hooked to the legs of the center piece, as stated.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters. Patent, is-

The extension table above described, consisting of the frame D H H1 HB G G', the legs d, the tops A A', the leaves B, C, and 0', the center piece E, the

bars K, the springs O, and the sliding braces M, when the several parts areconstructed as described, and all are arranged as and for the purpose set forth.
