UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

ALFRED EVERISS, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

FOLDING TABLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Yatent No. 437,185, dated September 30, 1890.

Application filed July 6, 1890. Serial No. 357,709. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALFRED EVERISS, of New York city, New York, have invented an Improved Folding Table, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a folding table of simple construction, which is particularly designed for supporting both ends of an ironingboard.

The invention consists in the various features of improvement fully pointed out in the claim. y

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side view of my improved folding table, showing it opened. Fig. 2 is an end view thereof; Fig. 3, a side viewshowing it closed; and Fig. 4, atop view of the platforms 0, showing them supporting an ironing-board.

The letters a a represent two uprights of ogee form, pivotally connected at the center by pivot a. At the bottom each upright is connected to a transverse foot I), while at the top each upright carries a small notched plat form 0. Between shoulders c of these platforms an ironing-board A is placed that extends beyond the platforms. It will be seen that the central or working portion of the ironing-board bridges an open space between the uprights, and thus petticoats and other garments B of tubular form may be slipped over the board and will not be interfered with by the table. Thus the table will be found to be a useful and handy article.

In order to prevent the uprights from opening too far, each upright a is provided with an ofiset a upon which the other upright is supported when thetable is opened. In front of such offset an upwardly-projecting plate (1 is attached, behind which the other upright is received. Thus, even should the pivot a work loose the table will always be properly supported. When the table is folded, as in Fig. 3, it may be locked in such position by a 'hook e and eye e.

What I claim is- The combination of uprights a, of ogee form and having offsets 0?, with feet b, platforms 0, and with plates 01, projecting above the offsets, substantially as specified.

ALFRED EVERISS.
