King, Oak Park, Mich., assignors to Shwayder Brothers, Inc., Ecorse, Mich., a corporation of Colorado Original application Aug. 24, 1959, Ser. No. 835,775, now Patent No. 3,037,831, dated June 5, 1962. Divided and this application Mar. 26, 1962, Ser. No. 182,423
2 Claims. (Cl. 108-155) This application is a division of our copending patent application Serial Number 835,775 filed August 24, 1959 relating to a table and leg locking structure, now United States Patent No. 3,037,831, dated June 5, 1962.
This invention relates to a table with pivotal legs, and more particularly to a novel table construction.
It is an object to provide a novel table top assembly and tubular frame including a protective resilient beading therebetween which projects laterally of the periphery of said top and frame.
It is a further object to provide a novel table top and frame assembly.
These and other objects will be seen from the following specification and claims in conjunction with the appended drawing in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the present table.
FIG. 2 is a bottom plan view of the table top and frame assembly.
FIG. 3 is a section taken on line 33 of FIG. 2, but with the table inverted to normal position for clarity of illustration.
FIG. 4 is a fragmentary partially broken away and sectioned view on an enlarged scale of the lower portion of the leg and assembled cap.
It will be understood that the above drawing illustrates merely a preferred embodiment of the invention and that other embodiments are contemplated within the scope of the claims hereafter set forth.
Referring to the drawing, the complete table is shown in FIG. 1, including table top 11 with pivotal tubular steel legs 12 tapered downwardly and inwardly towards their lower ends.
The lower end of each leg is spun or formed of a reduced diameter as at 13, FIG. 4, and has cooperatively and snugly protected thereover the preferably plastic leg cap 14, whose outer diameter at its upper end corresponds with the adjacent diameter of the tapered leg as a smooth continuation thereof.
Table top 11 includes the hollow continuous metallic tubular frame 16, which is preferably of square cross section, with slightly rounded corners and edges and which is assembled as the rigid unitary structure as shown in FIG. 2.
The table top includes the rectangular hardboard 17 with rounded margin and tapered edge. Upon the undersurface thereof along all four sides are the hardboard strips 18. Additional narrow hardboard strips 19 extend around the outer margin of the respective strips 18, with all strips secured together with a series of fasteners such as nails 20 or the like, FIG. 3.
The table top also includes a plastic cover 21, preferably of vinyl which is stretched across hardboard 17 and downwardly around its periphery along the edges of strips 18 and :19 with marginal portions 22 underlying and secured to strip 19 as by cement or suitable fastener.
A series of clips 23 are spaced longitudinally adjacent the respective edges of the assembled hardboard elements 17 1s and secured thereto y rivets 24. Clips 23 Termimate in the right angular flanges 25 which project within the tubular hollow frame 16 and cooperatively engage its interior upright surface. Fasteners 26, such as sheet metal screws, project through flanges 25 and threadedly extend through corresponding preformed apertures in frame 16. Thus the table top is fixedly secured to the unitary preferably steel tubular frame 16.
The table top assembly also includes resilient marginal beading 27 which extends peripherally around and extends laterally of the lower edge of the table top assembly and adjacent the top edge of frame 16. Bead 27 is preferably of plastic or rubber and is formed as an extrusion of T-shape in cross section, including the elongated continuous flange 28 which is projected under and along the outer margin of table top strip 19 and is fixedly secured thereto as by cement or by the staples 29, FIG. 3.
Alternately flange 28 may be cemented to the top surface of tubular frame 16. The resilient beading 27 provides a protective edging for the table top, particularly when the collapsed table is standing upon one of its sides as shown in FIG. 2.
Having described our invention, reference should now be had to the following claims.
We claim:
1. In a table having a frame, a table top secured to said frame, and including a rectangular hardboard layer spanning said frame, a series of coplaner elongated hardboard strips peripherally extending around the undersurface of said first hardboard layer, and a third narrow hardboard strip extending along the outer undersur'faces of said hardboard strips in registry with said frame, a plastic covering stretched over said first hardboard layer and peripherally around the outer margins of said additional strips and below the bottom strip and secured thereto, fasteners fixedly securing said hardboard strips and layer together, and a continuous bead of resilient plastic material extending around and laterally outward of said frame, said bead including a continuous elongated web peripherally interposed between said table top assembly and frame secured therebetween.
2. In a table having a frame, a tabletop secured to said frame and including a rectangular hardboard layer spanning said frame, a series of coplanar elongated hardboard strips peripherally extending around the undersurface of said first hardboard layer, a plastic covering stretched over said first hardboard layer peripherally around the outer margins of said strips and therebelow and secured thereto, fasteners fixedly securing said hardboard strips and layer together, and a continuous head of resilient plastic material extending around and laterally outward of said frame, said bead including a continuous elongated web peripherally interposed between said tabletop assembly and frame, and secured therebetween.
