Description
J. W. BEIGER TABLE TOP STRUCTURE Jan. 30, 1934.
Filed Jan. 3, 1933 lNVEfVTO/B 5 75%. A TTORNE VS Patented Jan. 30, 1934 TABLE T0]? STRUCTURE John W. Beiger, 'Ludington, Mich'., assignor to The Carrom Company, Ludington, Mich.
Application January 3, 1933. Serial No. 649,923
- 6 Claims. (01. 45-131) This invention relates to the invention set forth in my copending application Serial No. 632,691,
filed'February 12, 1932, now Patent'No. 1,926,079,
Sept. 12, 1933, and to my copending applications 6 Nos. 649,922; 649,924 and 649,925 filed concurrently herewith, and is directed to the same problem.
The objects of the invention are:
First, to provide a table top with a flexible cov- 10 er in which the space between the cover and the frame to which it is clamped is closed tightly to prevent the accumulation of debris.
Second, to provide such a table top in which I mechanical means are used to firmly clamp the 16 cover against theframe.
Third, to provide such a table top with cheap, simple and eflicient means for holding the cover in place.
Other objects and advantages pertaining to details and economies of the invention will appear as the description proceeds. The invention is defined in the claims.
A structure which embodies the features of my invention is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which:
Fig. 1 is a plan view of a table top embodying my invention.
Fig. 2 is a fragmentary detail sectional view taken on line 2-2 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a detail perspective view in section of one type of clamping member.
Fig. 4 is a detail perspective view in section through a table embodying a modified form of my invention.
The parts will be identified by their numerals of reference which are the same in all views.
1 is a table top panel which may be of any suitable material such as wood, plywood, pressed board or sheet metal. 2 is the frame preferably formed with mitered corners as shown, and 3 is a flexible covering of suitable material such as leather, canvas, leatherette or paper. I
The top panel 1 is disposed in a rabbeted recess on the inner side of the frame. When a thin top panel is used a groove 4 is cut in the outer side of the rabbeted frame forming a recess 5 around the panel and within the frame. This is to allow a sufficient clamping surface to engage the flexible top covering to hold it in place against the frame. If a thick panel is used there is no necessity for such recess.
In the modification of my invention shown in Figs. 1-3 a spring metallic member 6 having an attached web 7 and a portion 8 bent at right angles thereto, and a clamping face 9 formed by a re-curved portion of the metal, is disposed with the attaching web 7 between the panel I and the frame 2 as shown in Fig. 2, and with the clamping face 9v disposed in the groove recess 6. The member 6 is fastened in place bymeans of go nails 10 passing through the web 7 and also passing through panel 1 to hold it in place in frame 2. If desired the nails 10 need not pass through the web 7 but may merely hold the panel 1 in frame 2, clamping the web therebetween. g5 The clamping face 9 of the member 6 is disposed in proximity to the frame 2 and the flexible covering 3 may be rolled in as is well-known in the art. an d- Th m mber b in o s r n met l am t ed o th Gore? 3 .19
firmly against the frame in such way that debris cannot collect between the frame and the flexible cover.
It is possible to make member 6 of any material and it need not be of spring metal unless desired, (I? although a spring member provides a more satisfactory closure.
In the modification of the invention shown in Fig. 4 a clamp member 11 is disposed in the groove 5 and the flexible covering 3 is rolled in and L glued between the clamping member 11 and the frame 2 as shown. In the frame are a plurality of slots 12 extending from the groove 5 through the frame and opening into the bottom thereof. A plurality of wedges 13 are inserted in these slots and are driven to force the clamping member 11 against the frame 2 to hold the cover in place.
Although I have described my invention as applied to a table top construction, it will be understood that it can be applied equally well to any furniture construction in which it is desired to stretch a flexible cover over a panel.
Having thus described my invention what I @5 claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. In a table top structure, a table top frame having a rabbeted groove to receive the top panel, a table top panel having its edges dis- I00 posed in said groove and spaced from said frame to form a groove recess between the edges of the panel and the frame, an extension" of said groove recess formed in said frame, a spring metallic member having an attaching web disposed be- 21 9 tween said panel and said frame and a portion bent and recurved to form a clamping face in said groove recess and extension, means securing said panel to said frame passing through and securing said web, and a flexible top covering over said top panel and rolled and clamped and glued between said clamping face and said frame.
2. In a table top structure, a table top frame having a rabbeted groove to receive the top panel, a table top panel having its edges disposed in said groove and spaced from said frame to form a groove recess between the edges of the panel and the frame, a spring metallic member having an attaching web disposed between said panel and said frame and a portion bent and recurved to form a clamping face in said groove recess, means securing said panel to said frame passing through and securing said web, and a flexible top covering over said top panel and rolled and clamped and glued between said clamping face and said frame.
3. In table top structure, a table top frame having a rabbeted groove to receive the top panel, a table top panel having its edges disposed in said groove and spaced from said frame to form a groove recess between the edges of the panel and the frame, a spring metallic member having an attaching web disposed between said panel and said frame and a portion bent and recurved to form a clamping face in said groove recess, means securing said panel to said frame and securing said web therebetween, and a flexible top covering over said top panel and and rolled and clamped and glued between said clamping face and said frame.

I
5. In a table top structure, a table top frame having a rabbeted groove to receive the top panel, a table top panel having its edges disposed in said groove and spaced from said frame to form a groove recess between the edges of the panel and the frame, a member having an attaching web: disposed between said panel and said frame and having a clamping face in said groove recess, means securing said panel to said frame passing through and securing said web, and a flexible top covering over said top panel and rolled and clamped and glued between said clamping face and said frame.
a 6. In a table top structure, a table top frame having a rabbeted groove to receive the top panel, a table top panel having its edges disposed in said groove and spaced from said frame to form a groove recess between the edges of the panel and the frame, a member having an attaching web disposed between said panel and said frame and having a clamping face in said groove recess, means securing said panel to said frame and securing said web therebetween, and a flexible top covering over said top panel and clamped between said clamping face and said frame.
