Description
.iiintd states A. BELCHAMBERS,
OF RIPLEY, OHIO..
Letters .Patent N 94,548, dated September 7 1869.
IMPRCVED TABLE-LEAF SUPPORT.
The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.
To all whom it may concern:
`Be it known that I, A. BELGHAMBERS, of Ripley, in the county of Brown, and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Tables; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear,
-and exact description thereof, by which those skilled in the art can make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, forming part of this specification.
This invention relates to a new and useful improvement in tables with falling leaves; and consists in the mechanical arrangement for supporting the leaf, as hereinafter1v more fully described.
In the accompanying drawing- Figure l. is a sectional elevation of a table, with a leaf snppoitedaccording to my invention, the section being through the line a: x of iig. 2. v
Figure 2'is aview of the under or reverse side of the table, showing the supporting-mechanism.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
A is the top of the table.
This is supported on the ordinary table-frame B.
C is the leaf, which is hinged to Athe' top A in the ordinary manner.
D is an adjustable bracket, which is pivoted to the under side ofthe leaf, as seen at the point e.
F is astationary metallic strap, which is secured to the leaf, as seen at g, and confined to thebracket by the pivotscrew e.
The bracket plc ys laterally on its pivot e, and when it is supporting the leal, its inner end l1. .bears against the cross-piece I, which is fastened to the rails ofthe table, as seen in the drawing.
The bracket is held in this position by means of the spring J, which bears against the `lug K with a constant pressure.
It will be seeu'that any downward tendency of the vleaf C is prevented by the contact ef the ends of the bracket with the piece I, 'and as, from the shape of the bracket, this bearing is at the lower portion of the table-rails, the support of the leat' is complete.
The spring is so adjusted that the bracket is thrown into this supporting position automatically when the leaf is raised, no manipulation underneath theleaf being necessary.
To release the bracket from its bearing at h, it is only necessary to press with the finger on the front end of the bracket, at the point L. This disengages the bracket from its bearings on the cross-piece I, and allows the leaf to drop, as seen in dotted lines in fig. 1.
There is a recess in the rail of the table, as seen at m, which receives the vend of the bracket-as the leaf falls, which end curves up, and occupies the position seen in dotted lines in iig. l.
By this arrangement, the leaf is automatically fast ened in a horizontal position when it is raised, and in the most secure manner, while it is lowered with the least possible trouble.
The advantages of this arrangement are many, and must be obvious to all.
Having thus described my invention,
1 claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent- In combination with a table, the bracket D and spring J, constructed, arranged, and operating sub-
