TABLE-SUPPORT.

' Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. 3, 1905.

Application filed November 28, 1904. Serial No- 234,630.

To (tZZ whom, zit may concern.-

Be it known that I, CH RLES T. KINCAID, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois: have invented new and useful Improvements in Table-Supports, of which the following is a specification.

This invention is a device whereby one table may be supported upon another, particularly for exhibition purposes. It is designed especially for use with extension-tables, as will more fully appear hereinafter.

The object of the invention is to support a table in the manner indicated, so thatit can be rotated, if desired, without scratchingor marring the top of the lower table.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a top plan View of the device applied to a table. Fig. 2 is a cross-section thereof. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section thereof.

Referring specifically to the drawings, 6 indicates an ordinary extension-table, the top of which is separable in a well-known manner. T is a cross-piece extending under the top thereof and connecting the sliding side bars 8. This cross-piece is a common and well-known feature of extension-tables and is shown provided with a supporting-leg 9,

which is usually located under the center ofthe table. The device forming the subject of my invention is supported upon this crosspiece 7.

11 indicates a block which rests upon the cross-piece, where it is held by oppositelydisposed clips 12, which engage said crosspiece on opposite sides. Upon this block 11 is mounted a standard 13, preferably made of metal and forming the pivotal support for the rotatable cross-arms 14, which are held upon the standard by a pivot-pin 15, upon which the arms are free to turn. Each arm-has thereon a cupped block 16 to receive a foot of the table to be supported. These blocks are held on the arms by clips 17, permitting the blocks to be moved along the arms, ac

cording to the size of the table to be supported.

In the use of the device the lower table-top is pulled apart or extended a sufficient distance to allow the block 11 and standard 13 to be placed therebetween and fixed upon the crossbar 7. This does not detract unduly from the appearance of the lower table. The upper table is then mounted upon the arms 14, in which position it may be turned around to show all sides. The device can be very quickly put in place or removed. For warehouse purposes tables can be stacked up three or more high by the use of the device on successive'tables.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A support comprising a block constructed to be supported upon a lower table, and rotatable arms pivoted on the block and adjustable with respect to each other and constructed to support an upper table.

2. A device for supporting one tableabove another, comprising a block constructed to be supported upon the lower table, and arms mounted on the block and having foot-rests adjustable along the same for the upper table.

3. A device for supporting one table above another, comprising a block having strips constructed to engage a cross-piece of the lower table, and arms mounted on the block and having foot-rests for the upper table.

4. A device for supporting one table above another, comprising a block having means to engage the cross-piece under the top of the lower table, a standard projecting from the block, between the sections of the top, and arms rotatably mounted on top of the standard, and projecting above thelower table, and having foot-rests for the upper table.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

CHARLES T. KINCAID.
