TOY TABLE.

Application filed October 30, 17.923. Serial No. 671,674.

ing, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings and the characters of` reference marked thereon, to be a full, clear, and eXact description of the same, and which said drawings constitute part of this application, and represent in Fig. 1 a perspective view, on a small scale, of a toy table constructed in accordance with my invention.

This invention relates to improvement in toy tables, the objectbeing to produce a toy table of attractive appearance and which will be of sufficient strength to withstand the wear usually imposed upon toys, and the invention consists in the construction as hereinafter described and particularly recited in the claim.

In carrying out my invention, I employ a disk 5 of thin, sheet-metal formed with al central perforation 6, the edges of which are turned inward, forming a recess 7 in the upper face of the plate to receive the head 8 of a bolt 9. VOver the disk is placed a top 10, also formed from thin sheet-metal, the edge 11 being rolled over the edge of the disk 5, so as to interlock the two together and hold the bolt in place. The bolt extends downward through a pillar 12, preferably formed from wood, and formed at its upper end with a central recess 13 to receive the turned-down, central portion of the disk. The pillar 12 rests upon a spider 14C, also formed with metal and providing four feet to support the table. The bolt 9 extends through the spider, which is formed in its underface with a centrally-arranged recess 15 to receive a nut 16, which is turned into the bolt, so as to interlock the top and base with the pillar.

The table, thus constructed, is attractive in appearance, as it may be finished in imitation of wood and is vvery strong, so as to withstand the strain imposed upon toys by children. Y

I claim:

A. toy table,'comprising a disk of sheetmetal having a small central perforation, the edge of which is turned down, forming a. slight depression, a bolt extending through said disk'and having a head seated in said depression, so that its upper face is llush with the topof the said disk, a top'placed over said disk and having its edge turned downward and inward around the edge of said'disk, a pillar through which the bolt eX- tends, a spider having a flat top on which the lower'end of the pillar rests, said bolt eX- tending through said pillar and spider, and a nut applied to the lower end of Said bolt.

In testimony whereof, I have signed this specificati-on in the presence of two subscribing witnesses..
