EXTENSION-TAB LE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No.

Application filed January 30,1901. Serial No. 45,313.

687,712, dated December 3, 1901. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, TnLLo JAMES nAPnnY, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Extension-Tables, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to anew and improved extension-table; and the invention consists in the construction, arrangement, and combination of parts, all as hereinafter described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings,to which reference is made and which form a part of this specification, Figure 1 is a top plan view of a square table made in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a bottom view of the same. Fig. 3 is a plan View of the top, showing the same extended ready to receive the additional leaves, the dotted lines showing the form of two pointed leaves. Fig. 4. is a plan view of the top of the table extended, with four interposed leaves, forming an octagonal top. Fig. 5 is a similar view showing pointed leaves interposed to form a square top with a central opening in the table. Fig. 6 is a bottom view of a circular table, and Fig. 7 is an enlarged detailed sectional view of one of the extension runners or bars.

The top of the table is composed of four sections 2, substantially triangular in form. These sections are each provided with three legs 8, as shown in Figs. 2 and 6, and each section is provided at the bottom with a double extension-rail 4 and a single extension-rail 5 at right angles to each other and which span the space between the adjacent edges of the sections of the top. Each double rail 4. receives a complemental single rail 5, so that two of the sections may be separated or ex tended in one direction, while the other two may be separated or extended in a lateral direction, thus enlarging the whole body or top of the table. When thus extended,

additional leaves

6, 7, 8, and 9 may be putin which are supported on cleats 10 10,'se* bottom of the sections of the top In the form place, cured to the and also by the rails 4. and 5. shown in Fig. i the interposed leaves form an octagon. In the form shown in Fig. 5 the four interposed leaves 12 are pointed at one end and may be put in, as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 3, with the points at the center of the table, or they may be put in the reverse, thus forming a square-topped table and leav- 13, in which an electric be temporarily ing a central opening light or other ornament may fitted or placed.

In the form of table shown in Fig. 6 the sections 2 of the top are rounded at their outer edges, so that when not extended the tabletop is circular.

I do not limit myself to the extension-rails shown, as I may employ any other approved extension mechanism wherein quarter-sections of the table are provided with two extension-rails which project out from the radial edges.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure byLetters Patent, is-

1. A table having a top composed of four separate triangular sections, in combination with eight extension-rails arranged in the form of a square, two of said rails being attached to each section of the top at right angles to each other, substantially as described.

2. An extension-table comprising atop composed of four triangular sections, a single extension-rail attached to each section and pro- 8o jecting beyond one of its radial edges, and a double extension-rail attached to each section and projecting beyond the other of its radial edges, the single and double extensionrails being at right angles and complemental to one another, substantially as described.
