Definitions

  • My invention relates to a table structure similar to that disclosed and claimed in my United States Patent No. 2,747,958, issued May 29, 1956, and entitled "Folding Sectional Table, and an object of my invention is to provide a table structure which will accomplish the functions of my aforementioned patented table but which at the same time will be a lower cost structure.
  • a further object of my invention is to provide a table of the type described which has the table top sections adjustably hinged together to allow minimum safety for handling by children; whereby, at one position of the adjustable hinge connection between the table top sections, the table structure is completely pinch proof, and at another position of the adjustable hinge connection, the table sections closely adjoin one another.

  • I provide a pair of connecting pivot pins 32, each associated with a di'lterent pair of the two pair of hinge elements 26 and 27. Referring in particular to Figs. 7 and 8, connecting pivot pins 32 are adjustable with respect to hinge elements 26 and 2'7 so that they may be connected together in either one of two positions.
