In an apparatus for adjusting and supportbars are moved to their extended position, as ing leaves of refectory tables, theY combination shown at the left hand end of Fig. 1. I provide of a metal plate adapted to be aiixed to the bridge bar extending transversely of a refectory table, said plate having opposite reversely bent side portions to function as guide elements, slotted bars slidable in said guide elements of the plate, a gear mounted on the plate and having its teeth meshing with the slotted portions of the aforesaid bars, a spring extending between and aflixed to the inner ends of the aforesaid bars, the bars having tapered outer ends adapted to exert a wedge action, slide bars adapted to be aixed to an extensible leaf of the refectory table, metal guard plates attached to the bottom of said slide bars in position to be engaged byV the tapered ends of the slotted bars causing a vertical adjustment of the leaf of the table after it has been moved to its lextended position. whereby the leaf may be `easily moved from-a concealed position under the table to an extended position in alignment with the table top.
2. In an apparatus for adjusting and supporting leaves of refectory tables, the combination of a metal plate adapted to be alxed to the bridge bar extending transversely of a refectory table, said plate having opposite reversely bent side portions to function as guide elements, slotted bars, U-shaped in cross section, slidable in said guide elements of the plate, a gear mounted on the plate and having its teeth meshing with the slotted portions of the aforesaid bars, a spring extending between and affixed to the inner ends of the aforesaid bars, the bars having tapered outer ends adapted to exert a wedge action, slide bars adapted to be affixed to an extensible leaf of the refectory table, metal guard plates attached to the bottom of said slide bars in position to be engaged by the tapered ends of the slotted bars causing a vertical adjustment of the leaf of the table after it has been moved to its extended position, whereby the leaf may be easily moved from a concealed position under the table to an extended position in alignment with the table top.
3. In an apparatus for adjusting and supporting leaves of refectory tables, the combination of a metal plate adapted to be affixed to the bridge bar extending transversely of a refectory table, said plate having opposite reversely bent side portions to function as guide elements, slotted bars slidable in said guide elements of the plate, a gear mounted on the plate and having its teeth meshing with the slotted portions of the aforesaid bars, a spring extending between and affixed to the inner ends of the aforesaid bars, the bars having tapered outer ends adapted to exert a wedge action, slide bars `adapted to be afxed to an extensible leaf of the refectory table, metal guard plates attached to the bottom of said slide bars in position to be engaged by the tapered ends of the slotted bars causinga vertical adjustment of the leaf of the table after it has been moved to its extended position, whereby the leaf may be easily moved from a concealed position under the table to an extended position in alignment with the table top, stop pins mounted in the slide bars in position to limit the outward movement of said bars when the leaf reaches a position in which its outer edge is in alignment with the edge of the table top. l
4. As a new article of manufacture a locking mechanism for locking the leaves of tables and the like in a predetermined position, consisting of a metal plate having opposite inturned flanges to function as guide elements, slotted bars slidably mounted in said plate, a gear mounted on said plate and meshing with each of the slotted bars to operate same in a reverse direction when the gear is operated, the bars having tapered ends adapted to function as wedge or locking elements to engage other elements to be locked in a predetermined position.
5. In combination with the device defined in claim 4, a spring extending between and connected to corresponding ends of the respective bars and tending to exert an outward pressure or tension on said bars.
