KNOCKDOWN TABLE.
APPLICATION FILED JUNE 5, 1911.

UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
EDWARD B. WESTON, OF DAYTON, OHIO.
KNOCKDOWN TABLE.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, EDWARD B. VVEsToN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of Dayton, in the'county of Montgomery and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Knockdown Tables, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompa: nying drawing, forming a part of this specification.
The object of my invention is to provide a strong and rigid wooden table adapted for the display of samples, or for any other purpose, which can be readily and easily knocked down for storage and shipment, to occupy a comparatively small space, and the special object of my invention is to provide a construction which is adapted for packing in a crate or packing box for shipment without the necessity of wrapping up or otherwise shielding and protecting the tin ished woodwork of the table from becoming marred or damaged during shipment by contact with the crate or packing box.
In the drawing, Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved table, set up and ready for use. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the table, taken apart and packed in a crate, with portions of the crate and boX broken away to show the construction. Fig. 3 is a detail cross section of one of the corners of the table, taken on the lines 3, 3, of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of one of the table legs. Fig. 5 is a perspective view of one end of the lower shelf of the table. Fig. 6 is a perspective view of one of the corner braces. Fig. 7 is a longitudinal section of the table and crate, taken just within one of the sides of the crate.
1 is the table top, provided preferably with side and end panels 2, 2, and 3, 3, and these side and end panels are securely braced together at the corners by the corner braces 4:, which are preferably mortised into the panels, as shown in Fig. 3. The table top is also preferably mortised into the side panels, and the table top is cut away at the corners as designated by reference numeral 17 in Fig. 2, for the reception of the upper ends of the legs 5, 5, which legs are preferably square in cross section. The panels 2, 3, are also cut away to abut against the side faces of the legs, and the cross braces 4 extend between the side panels, close enough to the corners to cut across the Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed June 5, 1911.
Patented May 26, 1914. Serial No. 631,491.
space for the legs, and as shown in Fig. 1, each leg is mortised out at 6, so as to straddle or fit over its respective cross brace. Secured to each leg is a combination wood and metal screw 7, which projects diagonally from the mortise 6 and is arranged to pass through the opening 8 in the cross brace, while a wing nut 9 is employed on the end of the screw to lock and hold the leg in place. By these means, it is evident that the table and any weight that is placed thereon will rest on the four corner braces and the legs, and that the weight will not rest 011 the bolt 7. Each of the four legs 5, where an inner or lower shelf is desired, is provided with a headed lug or pin 10 at the proper height, and a shelf 11 is supported thereon by clips 12, 12. These clips are purposely attached a trifle back or away fro-m the leg alinement, and in erecting the table when the bolts 7 are passed through the braces, before tightening the wing nuts, the lower shelf is located in place and then the wing nuts are tightened. As the clips for the lower shelf are slightly back of their true position when the wing nuts are tightened, the loWer shelf serves as a brace to form a tight and rigid structure by merely tightening up the wing nuts.
It will be noticed that the cross braces 4 are notas wide as the side panels 2 and 3, which they connect together, and that a portion 13 of each leg extends above the braces. By taking advantage of this construction, when a crate or packing box is employed for packing the table, four blocks 14 are provided, one for each corner, to rest on these braces, as shown in Fig. 2, and these blocks are secured at each corner of the crate, and as the blocks are thicker than the distance from the braces to the top surface of the table, or the top edge of the side panels when they extend slightly above the top surface of the table, as in the preferred construction illustrated in Fig. 1, the top of the table and the side panels are held away, or suspended from contact with the crate, the space between the top and the crate being indicated at 15 in Fig. 7, and the space between the end panels 3 and the side of the crate being indicated at 16 in Fig. 7. These four blocks 14, therefore, suspend or hold the table entirely away from the crate, and any damage by contact with the crate is entirely obviated. It is possible, therefore, to pack and ship a table with very highly polished and finely finished top and side panels, without taking any pains to protect the finished woodwork from the crate, inasmuch as no part of the finished woodwork can come 1n contact with the crate or packing case. In packing the table,
'when taken apart for shipment, the legs curely fixed, legs adapted to fit in said cutaway portions, cross braces for the panels at the corners the legs having mortises to receive the cross braces, bolts for securing the legs to the cross pieces with wing nuts for the bolts located so as to bear against the inside of the cross braces, the cross braces having a breadth to leave a space between their upper edge and the upper edge of the panels so that the top may be set below said edges and so as to leave a space between their lower edges and the lower edge of the panels for the purposes described.
