WITNESS drum, 8 BY Maw United States Patent 3,094,949 ACCESSORY FOR OVERBED TABLE Benjamin J. 00m, Grand Rapids, Mich., assignor to American Seating Company, Grand Rapids, Mich, a corporation of New Jersey Filed Mar. 1, 1962, Ser. No. 176,599 '15 (Ilaims. (Cl. 108-32) The present invention relates toaccessories for overbed tables such as are commonly used in hospitals.
The primary objects of the invention are to provide a mirror and bookrest accessory for an overbed table of the type which has a single supporting column which can be disposed at either side of a bed with the base of the table extending transversely under the bed and with the table top extending transversely over the bed; to provide such an accessory which is reversible so as to be accessible to an occupant of the bed regardless of which side of the bed the supporting column is positioned alongside; and in general to provide such an accessory which is convenient in use, reasonably economical in manufacture and attractive in appearance.
An illustrative embodiment of the invention is shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein:
FIGURE 1 is a perspective View of an overbed table having the new accessory mounted on the underside of the table top, the accessory being here shown in a folded, non-use position beneath the table top;
FIGURE 2 is a similar view showing the accessory in a partially turned position;

FIGURE 15 is a fragmentary enlarged view of latch mechanism seen in the middle of FIGURE 14, in latched position;
FIGURE 16 is a similar view of :the latch mechanism, in unl-atched position; and
FIGURE 17 is a central, vertical sectional view of the table top and the complete accessory, the plane of section being indicated by line 1717 of FIGURE 13.
2 Referring now in -detail to these drawings, FIGURES 4. and 5 show a bed 20 and-an overbed table generally designated 21 associated with the bed for the use of an occupant thereof. The-overbed table comprises a single supporting column 22, av base 23 extended transversely under the bed 20 and atable top 24 extended transversely over the bed. A vertical-adjustment operating handle 25,
which is reversible so that it may be used by the occupant regardless of which position the overbed table occupies.
A disc 26 (see FIGURES 11l7) of plastic or other suitable and durable material is secured to the underside of the table top 24as by means of screws 27, said disc 26 having an outwardly opening retaining groove 28 extending around its upper periphery adjacent the table top. A rectangular open-front sheet metal supporting frame 29 has formed therein a central upstanding circular collar 30 which snugly but rotatably surrounds the disc 26 and which has a circular flange 31 extending from the upper periphery of the collar 30 inwardly into the retaining groove 28 of the disc 26. The supporting frame 29 is thus rotatably mounted on the underside of the table top 24.
The top wall of the supporting frame 29 has a pair of diametrically opposite latch apertures 32 therethrough located between the opposite sides of the collar 30 and the opposite sides of the supporting frame. A spring latch 33 having a handle 34 is mounted on the underside of the table top 24 as by means of screws 35 and is provided with a latch bolt 36 which is spring-pressed against the upper surface of the supporting frame. This latch bolt 36 is adapted to engage in one or the other of the latch apertures 32 for maintaining the supporting frame in a turned position wherein the open front thereof faces the head of the bed when the supporting column 22 of the overbed table is disposed on either side of the bed. When it is desired to reverse the position of the supporting frame 29, the handle 34 of the spring latch 33 is manually pressed upwardly to disengage the latch bolt 36 from an aperture 32 whereupon the supporting frame can be manually turned.
The opposite side walls of the supporting frame 29 are formed downwardly and then inwardly to provide parallel channel guides 37 having stops 38 near the front ends thereof. A rectangular sheet metal slide frame 39 is mounted in the channel guides 37 for forward-rearward movement in the supporting frame 29 and outwardly through the open front of the latter. Clips 40 are slidably mounted on the rear wall 41 of the supporting frame 29 and have downward projections 42 which are adapted to contact the stops 38 on guides 37 to limit movement of the slide frame 39 outwardly of the supporting frame to. a position wherein the slide frame is partially within and partially outside the supporting frame.
.A rectangular sheet metal utility frame 43 has arms 44 which are pivotally mounted at 45 on the slide frame 39 whereby the utility frame is swingable about a horizontal axis. It will be seen that when the slide frame 39 is in an outwardly moved position the utility frame 43 is swingable between a rearwardly-upwardly extending position of use (see FIGURES 2, 4, 5 and 9) resting against the table top, and a lowered non-use position (see FIG-. URE 17). When in this non-use position the utility Patented June 25, 1963 3 frame 43 is movable with the slide frame 39 into the supporting frame 29 beneath the table top 24.
A mirror 46 is mounted on the utility frame 43 by any suitable means, being here shown enclosed within the frame which is of inwardly opening channel bar construction. It will be seen that the mirror faces toward the head end of the bed when the utility frame is in its rearwardly-upwardly extending position of use.
In order to adapt the accessory as a bookrest, the forward part of the slide frame 39 is embossed downwardly to form a book supporting ledge 47 (see FIGURES 9 and 17). A book 48 is shown in FIGURE 9 supported on the ledge 47 and resting against the mirror 46-.
If desired, and as shown, a decorative strip 49 of stainless steel or other suitable material is applied as by welding to the front surface of the utility frame 43.
It will thus be seen that the invention provides a novel, convenient and attractive combination mirror-bookrest for overbed tables, and while but one specific embodiment of the invention has been herein shown and described it will be understood that numerous details thereof may be altered or omitted without departing from the spirit of the invention as defined by the following claims.
