I f; 'This invention relatesto tables and has for its object, tov provide, in a manner as hereinafter set forth, a' table having means so con-v structed and arranged to provide for theffirm seating of the table upon anuneven floor. I A further object of the invention is to pro= vide,fin a manner as'hereinafter set fortlna table having means-so constructed.antlerrangedto prevent the rocking thereof upon anuneven floor.
' A further object'of theinvention isto provide,,in a manner ashereinafter set-forth, a
' table from rocking upon'an uneven floor.
A further objectof the invention is to provide,in a manner asherein-after set forth, a table including a plurality offixed legs, an adjustable slotted leg'capable when adjusted to overcome the rocking of the table upon an unevenfsurface, and means co'acting with the adjusted position. v I
j 'A further object ofthe invention is to proslotted'leg for maintaining the latter in its 3 vide, in a manner-as hereinafter set forthga table including an adjustable slotted leg of a I differentlength from'thatof the other legs I of the table and providingwhenadjusted and held in its adjusted positionthe preventing Further objects of'the invention are to provide, in a manner as hereinafter set forth, a table for the purpose referred to which is simple in its construction and arrangement,
strong, durable, compact, expeditiously arranged to prevent rocking thereof upon an uneven surface, thoroughly eflicient in its use,
' .readily assembled andcomparatively inex pensive to manufacture.
With the foregoing and other objects in ,wedging block.
view, the invention consists of the novel con: struction, combination and arrangement of parts as hereinafter more specifically de' scribed, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein is shown an embodiment as of. the invention, butitis to be understood that changes, variations and modifications can be resorted to which fall within the scope of a the claims hereunto appended. Inthe drawings wherein like reference 60 characters denote corresponding throughout the several views I Figure 1 is a perspective view broken away of a table inaccordance with this invention.
Figure 2 is a section on line 2-2 Figure 1. Figure 3 a section on line 3'3 Figure 1. Figure 4 is a perspective view of the anchor-- ing member for the clamping element for the Figure 5 .is a perspective view of the Wedging block forthe adjustable leg.
' he body portion of the table is in the form of a frame including four rectangular side'members 1, 2, 3and 4 each standing on its lower longitudinal edge. The ends of the 7 member 1 are spaced from one'end of the members 2, 3 and the ends of the member 4 are spaced from the other ends of the members 2, 3. The members 1 and 4 are connected to themembers 2, 3 and for such purso pose coupling pieces are provided which have their ends dovetailed in the inner faces of the side members. The coupling pieces are disposed at an inclination relative to and of the same height as the side members. One of the coupling pieces is indicated at 5 and the others at 6. The coupling piece '6 be} tween the side members 1 and 3 is not shown. The coupling piece 5 connects side member I 3 with side member 4. The coupling pieces so are also secured in any suitable manner to the side members. The dovetailed connection between a coupling piece and a pair of side members is indicated at 7, Figure 3. The coupling piece 5 centrally thereof is provided with an opening 8.
' The table includes three stationary legs 8, Qand 10 and an adjustable leg 11 of less lengththan the other legs. The leg 11 in proximity to its top is formed with a slot 12 i i is s ui tably secured upon b odylpoi 'tion of v extending lengthwise thereof. The upper portion of leg 8 is positioned between one end of side member 1 and oneend of side -".member The upperfp'ortion, of'leg 9' is positioned between the other end of side member 1 and-oneaendoi side member 2. s The leg 10 is positioned hetween the other "end-of sideinember' Q andfioneend' ofside 7 :member 4. The upper portion of leg ll is positioned between the other/end ofside member 3 and the other 'end of side mem'f-I her 4.
