A piece of furniture, for example, a table, having a frame, supported on legs and carrying a table top, embodied with two parallel separate longitudinal profiles and at least two connected transverse struts and which has hollow recesses, accessible from an underside thereof, for the upper end sections of the legs. A simple and stable leg fixing is thus achieved, whereby coil-section shaped contact elements are arranged on circumferential inner surfaces in the recesses, and contact elements, coop...

A table may include a table top with a first section that is selectively movable between a use position and a collapsed position, and a second section that is selectively movable between a use position and a collapsed position. The table may also include a first pedestal that is movable between a first position in which the first pedestal supports the first section of the table top in the use position and a second position in which the first section of the table top may be moved between the use ...

A table is made by cutting a portion of a tree trunk longitudinally with one limb remaining thereon which is cut parallel to the tree trunk so that the truncated limb comprises a support for the trunk, the flat surface of which functions as a table top.

A table having removable legs which are readily stored with the top.

A table, especially a club table with a top surface having a central planch or surface portion which is movable with respect to the surrounding table top between a position in which it is flush with the surrounding table top and a position in which it is elevated above the surrounding surface. The central surface portion is supported and moved by a motor and a hoisting mechanism centrally disposed in the table, the region around the hoisting mechanism having storage shelves which are exposed whe...

Each of the four corners of the tempered glass plate in a chrome and glass table rests in a recessed portion of a different one of four fasteners, each of which has a cylindrical shape and is inserted in a different one of four tubular legs of the table. Each recessed portion and corner of the glass plate is covered by a suitably decorative cap to hold the glass plate onto the fastener, which supports it on a leg of the table. The legs of the table are held rigidly together by leg braces which a...

Each of the four corners of the tempered glass plate in a chrome and glass table rests within a different one of the tubular legs of the table with its apex being centered in the leg and its sides abutting vertical sides of a recessed notch in the tubular wall of the leg, each corner being held in place by a different glass-plate retainer which engages a corresponding tubular leg substantially around its entire circumference and abuts the top of the glass plate. In an embodiment of table having ...

A table having a top mounted on a base with a lower lateral portion rigidly secured to a supporting structure above floor level to provide a clearance space below the base for ease of cleaning the floor beneath the table. The base carries a pedestal which may be extended downwardly into contact with the floor to support the table on the floor during normal use of the table and retracted upwardly from the floor for cleaning. The table is described in connection with a dining nook or booth wherein...

A table is provided with a single retractable caster to facilitate manually transporting the table from one location to another. The retractable caster is located substantially directly below the center of gravity of the table, so that when the caster is extended to an "on" position, the table can be held in a generally poised condition over the caster wheel, and manually rolled across the floor. A pedestal-type base, having radially outwardly extending feet with glides provides outrigger suppor...

A folding table construction embodying a planar top, foldable legs and a novel apron assembly connected to the underside of the top. The apron unit comprises elongated discrete, relatively short straight lengths of formed metal side and end strips, or stringers, which are securely interconnected together by spaced apart, one-piece, blow molded corner moldings adapted to be affixed to the underside of the table top. Due to the novel design of the corner moldings and the stringers, the constructio...
