To all whom it may concer/ri:

Be it known that I, GEORGE SCHRYVER, a

citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New Y'ork, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Tables, of which the following is a specification. j This invention relates to tables, and more particularly to table attachments adapted to be secured to various articles of furniture.

It has for an object to provide a support adapted for detachable engagement with various articles'of furniture Without defacement thereof. -1

Another object is to provide such a device having novel means for adjusting it vertically to dispose the table portion thereof at various heights.

Other objects and advantages will be apparent' from the following description.

In the drawings forming a portion of this specification, and in which like characters of reference indicate similar parts in the several, views, Figure 1 is a side view of the device enga ed with a stationary wash tub, Fig. 2 is a ront view of the device, Fig. 3 is a` horizontalview through the sliding joint of the support portion, Fig.` 4 is a similar view of a modified form of the device, Fig. 5 is a front view of the base cast ing, Fig. 6- is a bottom View of the top casting, Fig. 7 is a' front view of a modified form of the base portion, Fig. 8 is a side view of a further modification of the device, adapted for engagement with cooking stoves .and the like, Eig. 9 is a sie@ View of the modified .form shown in Figs. 4 and 7 ,'Fig';

10 is a cross section of. a modified form of securing means.

Refcrringto the drawings, there is shown an articleof furniture having a support pory tion'10, and a top -11 projecting outwardly therefrom. Connected to the support portion 10, there is shdwn the present invention which comprises a vertically adjustable portion A comprising a broad floor-engaging member 12 having a reduced upper portionl receiving slidably thefeover a vertically movable slide 14 carried by an upper section 15. The member 12 is provided with spaced vertically extending series of -openings 16 re-' ceiving slidably therethrough suitable bolts 0rother clamp members 17 carrying attheir ends a suitable retaining member 18 adapted `ed -of wood and sheet metal.

to engagea leg or other support portion of furniture.

. It will be understood that if desired a suitable staple member may besubstituted in place of the bolts and retaining member above described, the opposite arms of the staple being threaded and dis osed through the openings 16 and suit-able astening nuts engaged thereover, as in Fig. 10. The por-- tion 12 is provided centrally with -a vertical series of openings 19, and the member 15 is provided with a downwardly e'xtend-4 ing portion 20 having an opening 21 therein receiving a bolt or pin 22 eng/vA ged removably in one e 'the 'peninlgs 19 and adapted to secure the sections atvarious points in their adjustment. aA lower sleeve portion'23, having the member 15 disposed downwardly therethrough and secured therein, and receiving the mem ber 12 slidably therein against the member 15. The slide is provided with an upward The slide 14 comprises extension 25 having an inwardly-and downcommonly 'engaged with the knuckle 30.

The leaf member 31 is provided with a longitudinally disposed rib 33- similar to the one 28 and having a similar series of openings therethrough. Adjustably Vengaged at its respective ends with the ribs 28 and '38, there is a link member 34 having bifurcated ends provided with registering perforations receiving a suitable pin. slidably therethrough in -coengagement respectively with one of the openings inithelribs mentioned.. Secured upon the leaf menber 31 there is'a table top 35/ of any suitable form. In the form of the device above described, the mem-` ber 14 and leaf-31' are adapted to'beca'st, the remaining portions being of wood. In Figs. 4, 7 andl 9 there is illustrated a form of the device adapted to be constructl In this form I relation thereto.

of the device, the members 12 and 15 are approximately the saine as in the first described forni. The Sleeve member lll, however, is replaced by the continuous band 4() hab/ting a perforation in one side receiving a fastening member therethrough ei'igaged with the base portion l2 to hold the sleeve member against vertical displacement with Set into the bach ol the member 15, there is a hinge strap 4l secured thereto in any suitable manner and engaged with a similar strap 42' which carries a `wooden leaf portion 43. 'l`he leaf portion where one ofsaid supports would not serve 5 sired, pairs of supports A connected in a suitable mechanical manner may be utilized its function, or where an unusually large table portion is to be supported.

What is claimed is:

A table adapted for attachment to various objects of furniture and comprising,r a support portion of adjustably variable height` said support portion comprising a l'loor engaging member and a vertically adjustable member carried thereby, a sleeve member co 43 and the member l5 have on their lower l 4 sleeve iiieniber being secured to one of said and ouier `sides respectively small blocks i4 having a series of transverse peifoi'aiions i 45 adapted for engagement with the linli g 34 as described in the first forni. The liiilt 34 may be iliade eitherot` wood oi' metal as may be found desirable, but asshown coinprises a portion of wood made as previously described. l

In Fig. 8 there is shown a further ineditication of the device in which the upward extension 25 of the casting 14 is provided with an inwardly spaced upwardly extending finger 45, By the use of this -forni of the device, the lower section A may be so extended as to engage the downwardly projecting flange of a stove or other object by which the support may be held in upright position. It willbe understood that, if deengaged around said floor engaging member and said vertically adjuslable'ineinber. said last named members. a horizontal member pivoied on said vertically adjustable portion, said support` portion and horizontal member carrying on adjacent Sides projections aiid a brace link member coengaged adjustably with the'projeetions to vary the angle of the horizontal member with respect to the support portion, and means for detaeliably engaging the support portion with a stationary object. v 4

In testimony whereof I affix my Signature,

- in presence of two Witnesses.
