Description
` dilated -tatra @wat (utilita Letters .Patent No. 99,246, dated January 25, 1870.
IMPROVED TABLE.
The Schedule referred to in these Lettera Patent and making part of the same.
LTHoMAs J. SHANNoN, of Lawrenceburg, Dearborn county, Indiana, have invented a new anduseful Improvement in Tables, of which the following is a specification.
Nature and Objects of the I ucention.
My invention relates to the provision of separable legs l'or tables, stands, desks, and similar articles of furniture, and consists in a certain combination of the various members, hereinafter described, and devices for holding them together, and permitting their easy separation.
General Description with Reference to the Difatti-ings.
Figure l is an under-side view of a dining-table embodying my invention', a pair of legs being detached.
Figure 2 is a perspective view on an enlarged scale of the twomembers of one of the supplementary fastenings employed to unite the legs and side-rails.
Figures 3 and 4 are sectional views taken at right angles to eachy other, illustrating the fastening enrployed to attach the top. l
A is the top.
BB' are the side-rails, of customary construction.
Fastened by wood-screws C, or otherwise firmly attached to the ends of the pieces B B', are iron T-heads D D', which enter and bind in corresponding iron mortise-plates E, fastened by wood screws C', or otherwise firmly secured to thelegs F F', 'said legs being framed together by a customary end-rail, G. Buttons H, secured by screw-pivots I to the siderailsfengage-by lips h. over lugs J screwed fast to the legs. K are brackets attached to the under side of the table-top and the outside of the end-rail G, by engaging over dovetail projections L L screwed fast to the top and end-rail respectively.
'.ihe beating-surfaces of the T-heads-D D and mortises E of' the buttons H and lugs J, and of the dovetails L L, have such Obliquity as to cause them to bind as the parts which they unite are pressed home.
Operation.
The table-top and side-rails forming one piece, and each pair of legs with their end-rails forming two other pieces, may' be at any moment united, so as to form a complete table, by engaging 4the mortise-plates E over the T-heads D D', and these parts may be still further secured and their connections stifeued by the' buttons H andlugs J, and by the brackets K and dovetails L IL.
For transportation or shipment these attachments are'disengaged, and the legs being thus separated from the body and top of .the table, can be packed and transported in their most compact form, and with far less liability to injury than it' the legs projected in their customary position from the table.
I have described my improvement in its application to tables, but it is manifestly equally applicable to desks, stands, counters,.and other like articles of furnit-ure.
The provision of the buttons H and lugsJ enables the table to be lifted by its top, without endangering the separation of the legs.
vC latin I claim, as my invention- The combination of the table-top A, separable legs F, and fastenings D E, H J, and K L, arranged to operate substantially as herein set forth.
In testimony of which invention, I hereunto set my hand.
T. J. SHANNON.
