Definitions

  • My invention has reference to improvements in connection with folding tables, seats, shelves, and like articles of furniture.
  • the object is to provide a supporting hinge joint of strong and durable construction which shall permit of the table or the like being assembled with great facility and security, which shall be adapted for a particularly rigid and efiicient automatic locking action in the extended setting, and which can be easily and expeditiously released for the folding movement of the table or the like.
  • a hinge joint for a table, seat, shelf, or like article of furniture wherein a springloaded pivotal lever latch upon the one part of the joint is adapted to have a catch connection with a part on or of an open bracket forming one of the hinge elements of the joint and provided upon the other part.
  • the latch is adapted to be operated by a cable or the like attached thereto so that facilities are presented for its manipulation from some point of the table remote from the hinge.
  • the said latch may be adapted to co-operate with an integral projection raised from the sheet metal of which the bracket may be constituted.
  • Figures 1 and 2 illustrate in sectional elevation a hinge joint suitable for a table, seat, shelf or like article of furniture, in the open and closed 35 positions respectively.
  • the table top A is provided with a rib-like extension a upon its underside,
  • This latch member has a nose I) and a rearward extension b to which is coupled a wire or cable b having a ring b for its actuation, and the return movement of the latch b is provided by means of a helical compression spring b b are eyelets for guiding the cable D
  • the leg 0 of the table is provided with a channel-shaped bracket (1 the walls (1 of this bracket passing on each side of the member a and being pivoted thereto by means of a pivot pin (1 engaging the member o
  • the base of the bracket (2 is raised as at d to constitute a projection adapted to co-operate with the nose I) of the latch b.
  • leg member 0 may be fastened to wall so that the table A would normally protrude from said wall, the table part A then adapted to be lowered into proximity with the wall by manipulation of the latch. That is to say, instead of the leg 0 being folded into adjacency with the table top the reverse takes place.
  • the leg of the table may be actuated singly or in pairs, as may be found most desirable.
  • a supporting hinge joint for an article of furniture and the like, having relatively foldable parts comprising two channel-shaped members mounted on said parts face to face in articular relation to each other, one of said channel-shaped members having a projecting portion, a springcontrolled latch pivotally mounted in one of said channel-shaped members and shaped to engage in the unfolded position of said foldable parts the projecting portion of the complementary channel-shaped member for automatically locking the parts in position, and a manually operated means for operating said latch to unlock said parts from a distance.
