Description
{than state 33mm fiffim I JACOB DOUR'SON, OF COLUMBUS, OHIO;
Letters Patent No. 87,829, dated March 18, 1869 reissue No. 4.351, dated April 25, 1871.
IMPROVEMENT IN FALL-LEAF EXTENSION-TABLES.
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,JAcoB Docnsos, of Columbus, in the county of Franklin and State of Ohio, has iuveuteda new and improved Fall-Leaf Extension- Table; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference beinghad to ,the accompanying drawing forming part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of the improved fallleaf extension-table.
Figure 2 is an inverted plan view of the same.
Figure 3 is an inverted transverse section of the same taken on the plane of the line a b, fig. 2. Figure 4 is a detail inverted vertical section on the line 0 'd, fig. 2.
Figure 5 is a detail perspective view of the metallic slide.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding This invention relates to a new arrangement of drop-leaf tables, and consists in attaching the legs of the table to sliding frames, so that theycan be drawn under the leaves to hold them up.
Drop-leaf tables have been in use heretofore, also 7 extension-tables, but the combination of a lower extension-frame with the drop-leaves for sustaining the same has not been introduced prior to this invention. The great objection to ordinary drop-leaf tables, that the leaves usually break at the hinges, is overcome by this invention, as the extended legs constitute an inflexible support for the raisedleaf.
A in the drawing represents the fixed top of the table.
B B are the drop-leaves hinged to the fixed top. 0 O are the legs, secured to the side rails D D. When the drop-leaves are folded down or suspended the rails D are under the sides of the fixed top A, and sustain the same.
When, however, a leaf is turned up, the rail nearest .lts hinged edge is pulled out under the leaf and sustains it in the horizontal position, the legs that hold said rail being moved out with it.
Strips e 0 project from the. upper ends of the legs transversely under the fixed top A, and sustain the same, when the legs are with the rail carried under the leaf;
v The strips 0 crest with their inner faces against the outer sides of fixed ribs f, which project from the underside of the. fixed top A.
A slide, E, as shown in fig. 5, is aflixed to the end of each strip 0, and enters the grooved outer side of the adjoining ribf, in which it slides when the legs and rails are moved in or out.
The slide serves, therefore,as a connection between the sliding rails and strips e e and the fixed ribsf.
The middle part of each leaf may, if desired, be further sustained by supporting bars F F, which are, by pins g g, pivoted to the rails, and grooved longitudinally, as indicated by dotted lines in fig. 2.
Dowel-pins h, set in the under side of the top A, enter the grooves of the bars B.
When the rail is moved out under the table-leaf it swings the bars F out under the leaf, as shown in fig. 2, while before the said bars were folded against or upon the rail.
These automatic bars F may, however, be dispensed with, as the rails alone form sufiicieut support for the leaves.
I claim as my invention 1. The drop-leaf table, provided with an extension.
leg and rails, which can be drawn out to support the opened leaves, as set forth.
2. The slide E, in combination with the parts 0 f, substantially as and for the purpose described.
3. The grooved bars F F, pivoted to the rails D, and combined with the dowel-pins h on the fixed table top, as set forth.
