; My invention relates particularly to pool 7 and billiard tables although not limited to v metal table withthe aforementioned features this use alone. I q I V V The main features of the invention reside in the provisionof a bed Supporting structure which provides a light, solid and effective adjustable support for the, bed of thetable with a view toward economy in manufacture and assembly, H I. The invention relates particularly to a metal table construction and certain features ofthe invention relate to the constructionof a in view.- 7

. With these features in view my invention consists in certain features of novelty in the construction, combination, and arrangement of parts by which the saidv features andcertain other features, hereinafter appearing, are effected, all as fully'described with referenceto the accompanying drawingsland more;

particularly pointed out in the claims.
