L, HAMMOND CARD TABLE Filed Nov. 28, 1952 iff-2 Aprii Z3, 1935.
ylatented Apr. 23, 1935 STATES CARD Laurens Hamm Application November 2 4 Claims.
My invention relates generally to tables and more particularly to card or bridgetables, and has for its object the provision of an improved table of this type equipped with a removable top 5 and having a readily replaceable top cover.
A further object of my invention is to provide an improved top for card tables in which the top cover is at all times resiliently tensioned to maintain the top playing surface of the table smooth and free from wrinkles.
' A further object of my invention is to provide an improved card table having a removable top and in which the top is resiliently held in place on the table.
Other objects will appear from the following description, reference being had to the accomn panying drawing, in which Fig. 1 is a perspective View of the table;
Fig. 2 is a bottom plan View of the top;
Fig. 3 is a fragmentary vertical sectional view taken on the line 3 3 of Fig. 2;
Fig. 4 is a vertical .sectional View illustrating the means by which the top is secured to the sides of the table, and
Fig. 5 is a fragmentary bottom plan view of the top illustratingV the means for securing the cover to the top.
The table comprises four side walls I whichl are supported by legs l 2, preferably hinged at the corners of the table and foldable so as to lie ush with the side walls. rAs best shown in Fig. 4, the side walls l are provided with a rabbet i4 at their upper edges to form a seat for the table top. The table top comprises a relatively rigid board lll preferably made of a wood or a plastic composition. A plurality of shouldered rivets I8 are secured to the board I at spaced intervals adjacent the edges thereof and projecting from the bottom surface thereof. The top I6 has a flexible cover 2d stretched thereover, a layer 22 of lightly packed felt or similar cushioning material being interposed between the cover 2li and the top IE. The edges of the cover 20 are folded around the edges of the board I6 and have hems 24 formed thereon. 'I'he hems have portions thereof cutv TABLE ond, Chicago, Ill.
8, 1932, Serial No. 644,672 (ci. 456s.3)
When it is desired to replace the top, itis necf essary merely to unbutton the spring wires 2S from the headed rivets I8, whereupon the cover may be removed from the board le. The spring Wires 28 may then be withdrawn from the hems 24 and replaced in a new cover which can then be readily fastened to the tcp by pulling the spring wires over the headed rivets i8. The top may be replaced upon the table merely by dropn ping it into the rabbeted recesses I6 formed in the top edges of the sides, whereupon the spring lingers 32 will resiliently engage in the grooves 3Q and hold the top in position.
While I have shown and described a particular embodiment of my invention, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications in design and construction may be made without departing from the spirit of my invention. While I have illustrated my invention as incorporated in a card table, the invention may, as well, be used in other types of tables, for securing covers to ironing boards, and in similar articles.
What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is:
1. A card table top comprising, a relatively rigid board having a plurality of studs spaced adjacent the peripheral edge of the board and projecting from the lower surface thereof, a iiexible cover for said top having hems formed at its edges, said hems having a plurality of openings therein, and spring wires vextending through said hems and sprung through said openings and around said studs thereby resiliently to stretch said cover over said top.
2. A card table top comprising, a board, a ilexible cover for said top, said cover having its edges ,folded around the edges of said board, and a spring wire having alternate portions of the length thereof attached to said board and to said cover said spring wire being normally stressed and thus yarranged to hold said cover stretched over said board by its resilient resistance to bending.
3. The combination of arelatively rigid board, a flexible cover extending over said board and having its edges folded around the edge of said board, a spring wire bent to sinusoidal shape without exceeding the elastic limit of the wire and being alternately secured to said board and to said cover respectively, whereby said cover is resiliently held taut over said board.
4. In a work supporting covering, the combination of a substantially plane rigid Work supporting member having a plurality of downwardly extending cover securing studs located on its lower side adjacent the periphery thereof, said studs having retaining shoulders, and a flexible covering for said member comprising a piece of exible material of suicient size and similar shape to said member, said covering extending over the edges of said member and under the lower surface to a point adjacent said studs, said covering being provided with a plurality of spaced points of attachment about its periphery for resilient metal wire means, and said wire mea-ns being bowed away from the edge of said covering between said spaced points of support and hooked over said studs whereby said resilient metal wire l0 stretches said covering on said member.
