TABLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 432,356, dated July 15, 1890. Application filed February 19, 1890. Serial No. 340,976. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE BECK, a citizen of the United States, residing at St. Louis in the State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Self-WVaiting Tables; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification,

and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in self-waiting tables; and it has for its object to provide an improved device of this character readily applied to any table providing a long pivot with suitable bearings therefor,whereby binding of the parts is prevented, so that should a preponderance of weight be placed upon one side of the revolving portion it will not interfere with its revolving easily.

Other objects and advantages of the invention will hereinafter appear, and the novel features thereof will be particularly defined by the appended claim.

The novelty resides in the peculiar combinations and the construction, arrangement, and adaptation of parts, all as more fully hereinafter described, shown in the drawings, and

then specifically pointed out in the claim.

The invention is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawings, which, with the letters of reference marked thereon, 'form a part of thisspecification, and in which Figure 1is a vertical section through a table to which my improved device is applied. Fig 2 is an enlarged perspective View of the parts comprising my invention separated but in their relative positions.

Like letters of reference indicate like parts in both figures of the drawings.

Referring now to the details of the drawin gs by letter, A designates a table of any ordinary or well-known construction. The only disfiguration to any table that is necessary is simply to make a hole therein for the reception of the pivot on which the parts hereinafter described turn. Such a hole is shown in Fig. 1.

B designates a casting attached to the under side of the table by means of suitable screws, nails, or other fastenings, and consists of a disk at, from the upper side of which pro jects a boss 1), adapted to be seated in the hole in the table, with its upper end flush with the upper face of the table, as shown in Fig. 1, and the inclined brace-arms c, united at their lower ends by the cross-bar (1, having an opening 6 in vertical line with the opening in the boss.

0 is a vertical rod or pin which constitutes the pivot on which the parts turn. It passes through the opening in the boss and through the opening 6 in the cross-bar cl of the casting B, and above the boss is formed with a disk D, adapted to be secured in any suitable manner to the under side of the revolving table E, which may be of any desired size and material. This rod, below the said disk D, is formed with a collar f of the same diameter as the boss I), and designed to rest thereupon to prevent contact of the tables E and A. The upper end of the rod or pin O passes through the table E, and is screw-- threaded, as shown at g, to engage the screwthrcaded boss h on the under side of the plate or casting F, which is secured to the under side of the small revolving disk or stand G. The table E is preferably provided with a number of knobs or analogous devices H around its edge, which serve as means for turning the table when desired, and also serve to prevent displacement of the dishes on the said table when the latter is revolved. The

'upper small disk or plate G may be removed when necessary.

The device is simple, cheap, may be readily applied to any ordinary table, and the extended pivot allows of the ready and easy revolution of the table E, even should a great number of dishes be placed upon one side thereof.

Tilting of the table from a horizontal plane v cannot occur.

hat I claim as new is- The combination, with a table, of a casting secured to the under side thereof and formed with downwardly-extending arms, an apertured plate or disk secured to the under side of the table, and an upwardly-extol]ding apertured boss rising centrally from the plate or disk of the thickness of the table and 10 upper end of the pivot-pin and carried on the upper endof the said pivot, sul'istantially as shown and described.

In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my name in theprcsence of two Witnesses.

GEORGE BECK.
