B. E. MCLAUGHLIN TOP SUPPORT FOR PAFEHHANGERS PASTING TABLES Filed Aug. 24, 1923 lgyi Patented Z5,
BERNARD E. IVICLAUGHLIN, 0F DETROIT, MICHIGAN.
TOP SUPPORT FOR EATER-HANGERS PASTTEIG TABLES.
Application filed August 24, 1923.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that T, BERNARD Mo- LAUGHLIN, citizen of the United States, residing at Detroit, in the county of Vfayne and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Top Supports for Paper-i-langers Pasting Tables, of which the following is a specification.
Tl s invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in paper hangers pasting tables and has particular reference to a support for the tops of said tables, by means of which sagging of the tops is effectively prevented.
The primary object of the invention is to provide a support of the above kind, which embraces the desired qualities of simplicity, durability, and efficiency in operation.
Other objects will appear as the nature of the invention is better understood, and the same consists in the novel form, combination and arrangement of parts, hereinafter more fully described, shown in the accompanying drawings and claimed.
In the drawing, wherein like reference characters indicate corresponding parts in the two views.
Figure 1 is a side elevational view illustrating a support constructed in accordance with the present invention operatively engaged with the usual folding table legs employed in conventional paper hangers tables.
Figure 2 is a perspective view of the support detached.
Referring more in detail to the drawings, 5 indicates the usual folding table legs used for supporting the table top indicated by dotted lines at 6, said legs being composed of cross leg members centrally pivoted together as at 7, and having a top bar 8 upon which the adjacent end of the top 6 rests. This construction provides a relatively light table that may be readily knocked down for convenience in transporting the table from place to place, but this table is not rigid enough when being employed for butt work. In this operation, the paper hanger places his hand on the straight edge to hold it in place, while turning the paper, and the table top 6 sags under the weight of the hand, thereby causing the paper hanger to trim the paper inaccurately, and resulting in bending of the straight edge which ultimately causes said straight edge to get out of proper or true shape.
My improved casing table top support em- Serial No. 659,124.
bodies a longitudinal bar or board 9 that is provided at its ends with means 10 for supporting the same from the cross bars 8 of the folding legs 5, so that when the table top 6 is placed thereon, the latter lS prevented from bending downwardly or sagging.
The longitudinal supporting board 9 has its end mitered, as at ll, and the members 10 comprise hooks rigidly secured by screws 12 or the like to the ends of the support 9, whereby said supporting board 9 is effectively suspended between a pair of the folding legs 5 as shown in Figure 1, with the longer edge thereof disposed upwardly and in contact with the under surface of the table top 6. The hooked ends of the hook members 10 are thus (lo-extensive with the longer upper edge of the supporting board 9.
it will thus be seen that I have provided a table top support for the tops of knock-down paporluingers tables, which may be readily hooked onto the conventional folding legs employed for tables of this kind, and wherein the support embodies a longitudinally-arranged supporting board which may be positioned properly for preventing sagging of the table top at all times. Also, the support is simple in construction and light in weight and is capable of being packed with the table top and folding legs without taking up n'iaterial space, whereby the table may be easily transported together with the present attachment or top support. Also, the support holds the table legs in place or against separation, a common objection with paper hangers table not provided with a support of this kind.
It is believed that the construction, manner of use, and advantages of the present invention will be readily understood and appreciated by those skilled in the art from the foregoing description.
Minor changes may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the in vention as claimed.
What I claim as new is:
As a new article of manufacture, a support for preventing sagging of the top of a paperhangers knock down table comprising bar having table leg engaging hooks secured to the ends thereof, said bar having mitered ends, and said hooks being coextensive with the longer ed e of the bar substantially as shown and described.
In testimony whereof I aihx my signature.
BERNARD E. MGLAUGHLTN.
