FOLDING TABLE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented May 30, 1916.
Application filed February 15, 1915. Serial N 0. 8,426.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHIPMAN J. WELLS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Long Beach, in the county of Los Angeles, State of California, have invented new and useful Improvements in Folding Tables, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to folding tables and the principal object is to provide a foldable table with vertically-disposed legs in relation to the top thereof, so that the general appearance will not indicate that it is collapsible.
It is another object to provide a table with uncrossed legs, with an apron depending from the under side of the top, portions of the apron being collapsible to allow folding of the legs in relation to the table.
In the drawings accompanying this specification, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the table, viewed from above, and in position ready for use. Fig. 2 is an inverted view of the table having a round top, showing the method of hinging one set of legs in relation to the table top and the hinged apron. Fig. 3 is a plan view of theinverted position, showing in dotted lines the pairs of legs collapsed upon one another, and a square top. Fig. 4 is an end elevation, viewed from the end, having the collapsible apron with the'legs and apron in folded positions. Fig. 5 is a detail of the lock to lock the unhinged and movable apron.
Folding tables have commonly been formed with crossed legs, and this construction, though showing a simple and light table, has not artistic qualities or the strength for ordinary domestic use. This objection is overcome and disclosed in this application, by providing a solid round or square-top table with legs supported only by the aprons depending from the bottom of the table top.
Referring more particularly'to Figs. 1 to 5 inclusive, 15 designates a table top which, as shown, may be of square or solid circular construction, upon the under side of which are secured the legs in pairs. The first pair consists of the legs 16 and 17,
' rigidly secured to the apron 18 by suitable clasp ings, the upper end of each leg being provided with a pivot pin 19, passing through a short link 20, which in turn is connected by a pivot pin 21 to a right-angle bracket v.22, secured to the bottom of the table and externally of the normal position of the apron in relation thereto. The opposltely-disposed legs 23, 24, are also rigidly secured to a section 25 of the apron, this section being of slightly less length than the section 18, so that the legs 23, 24 will register adjacent to and inside of the legs 16 and 17, with the hinged sections 26 and 27 of the apron connected by suitable hinges 28 and 29 to the solid section 18. The component sections 30 and 31 of the hinged apron are hinged to the sections 26 and 27 by suitable hinges 32 and 33, and to the section 25 by hinges 34 and 35. To lock the section 25 in relation to the table top, a pivoted catch 36 is provided, hinged on a pin 37, and pressed by a spring 38 into engagement with a strike 39 on the section 25. Suitable braces, preferably of light rods, are shown at 40, being hinged to an eye 41, with a hook point engaging the eye at 42.
The operation of the table will be readily understood. When it is desired to collapse thesame from the position shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3, the latch 6 is released from its strike and section 25 of the apron with its legs lifted a sufficient distance to clear the latch. Then the braces 40 are released. Section 25 may be moved to occupy the position shown in dotted lines in Fig. 3, the intermediate position also being shown in dotted lines. Then by lifting all four legs and the apron away from the bottom of the table, the legs may all be brought flat against the bottom of the table top, as shown in Fig. 4.
Having thus. described my what I claim is:
In a folding table, the combination of a top, a pair of legs, an apron comprising a section fixedly secured to said legs, a'pair of jointed apron sections pivotally secured at one end to said first mentioned section,
invention,
' an apron section pivotally secured to said jointed apron sections at their other ends, a pair of legs secured to the last mentioned apron sections and spaced to foldably fit Within said first mentioned pair of legs, brackets secured to saidtop, links pivotally connected to said brackets and tothe first mentioned pair of legs, and a latch means mounted on said apron for detachably securing the same to the table top in unfolded position of said legs. 10
In Witness that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto subscribed my name this 4th day of February, 1915.
