REVOLVING-LEAF EXTENSION TABLE.

Application filed February My invention relates to filler leaves for eX- tension tables which are of such construction that they are adapted to be stored, when not in use, under the permanent table top whereby when the table is extended the filler leaf is exposed and in position to be revolved and placed into position as an additional table topr surface.

My invention consists in means secured to the underface of the permanent table top sections in combination with means cooperating therewith to revolvably support a filler leaf on the table; my invention consists further of the parts and combination of parts vas will be hereinafter more fully set forth.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a top plan view of the table embodying my invention with the filler leaf in operative position.

Figure 2 is a bottom plan view of a table top with my invention attached thereto.

Figure 3 is a cross sectional view through the table top showing the filler leaf in stored position. A

Figure 4l is a view similar to Figure 3 showing the filler leaf swung to operative position.

Figure 5 is a view showing the bracket for the leaf in end and side elevations.

' Figure 6 is a top plan view of the runway.

Figure 7 is an end view of the same.

- Figure 8` is a side elevation of a slide.

Figure 9 is a bottom plan view `of a tabler top showing another embodiment of my in-V vention.

Figure 10 is a detail view. The reference numerals 1 and 2 designate the permanent end top sections of an extension table which are connected to the' slides 8, which slides in turn are connected to the slides 4.

It is lfrequently necessary to increase the seating capacity of a table and the usual custom has been to have eXtra leaves stored in a separate box, which leaves must be brought to the table for use. In accordance with my invention the leaves are stored permanently under the table top, which broad idea is, of course, old. My invention resides in the particular means of mount-ing and storing the filler leaves under the table top.

The reference numeral 5 designates the filler leaf which is formed in two sections which are secured together by meansofV hinges 6 of any approved construction. To

21, 1925. Serial No. 10,874.

the underface of the end sections 1 and 2' of the table I permanently secure' a slideway 7 clearly illustrated in Figures -6 and 7 of the drawing from which it will be seen that these slideways 7 have an underface ,groove which is formed by rebending the edges of the metal from which `the slideway is formed. The filler leaf is provided with brackets 8y vfor perforations 9 in which a rod V10 is loosely mounted. The ends of the rod 10 are mounted in the perforations of the slides 12, said slides having laterally extending flanges 13 which are adapted to slide in the undercutgrooves of the slideways 7 so that when-the table topends 1 and 2 are spaced from each other, as shown in Figure 2, the slides 13 move freely in the slideway `7, a suitable stop being on each end of the rod 10 to prevent disengagement of the rod from the slides as will be readily understood. This separation of the table top sections 1 and 2 exposes the filler leaf 5 which is revolved on the rod 10 to the position ways 17 on its underface in alinement with A the slideways 15. A slide comprising arms 16 rand 17 is slidably mounted in the slideways 15, and the slide comprising th-e arms 18A and 19 is slidably mounted inthe slides 17 on the filler leaf, and when the parts are assembled the arms 7 of one slide is pivotally secured at 20 to the arm 18 of the slide mounted on the filler leaf whereby the filler leaf may be sustained in stored position under the p'ermanent table top or may be revolved to operative position as shown in Figure 1. In connection with this embodiment the bracket 14, of course, will be used to support the filler leaf in inoperative position as illustrated in Figure 3.

My invention maybe attached to an eX- tension table of any construction and the parts embodying my attachment are so simple that they can be manufactured and put on the market-at a minimum price.

By my invention l am enabled to materially simplify the storage of filler leaves under the permanent table tops of an exten sion table.

am aware that Changes maybe made in the details of Constructionv Without departing from the scope of the appended Claims'.

What I claim is:

l. In an extension table, the Combination with the permanent top sections, a slideWay secured to the nnderfaee of eaeh section, a filler leaf, slideWays secured to the underfaee of said leaf, a slide mounted in. each of said slideways and means pivotally eonneeting the slide of the ller leaf to the slides of the top sections.

2. In an extension table, the combination with the permanent top sections, a slideway secured to the underface of each section, a slide in each of said slideways, a filler leaf, a. pair of independent slideways secured to the underfaee of said leaf, an independent slide in each of the leaf slideways7 the' outer ends of the slides of the leaf overlapping secured to the nnderfaee of ea-Cli of said seetions, a filler leaf, slideways secured to the underface of said leaf in alinement with each other, an independent slide mounted in each of said slideways, With its outer end bent at right angles, and means pivotally Connecting the bent end of slides on the table sections With the bent ends of the slides on the leaf.

l. A support for a filler leaf for extension tables, Comprising four slideways, and a slide in each of said slideways, one end of each slide being bent at right angles, and means pivotally Connecting the right angle end of one slide to the right angie end of another slide.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.

PETER NYHoLM.
