Stowable table and base
Abstract
Abstract A STOWABLE TABLE HAVING A PLATFORM WITH A LEG SUPPORT MEMBER THAT ROTATES INTO A RECESSED REGION OF THE PLATFORM FOR STORAGE PURPOSES. WHEN IN USE, THE LEG SUPPORT MEMBER IS MAINTAINED IN AN EXTENDED POSITION BY A BRACE WHICH IS ROTATABLY CONNECTED TO THE SUPPORT MEMBER AND WHICH IS MAINTAINED IN A GUIDE LOCATED WITHIN THE RECESSED REGION BY A SPRING. A CAM-TYPE RELEASE MECHANISM MAY BE ACTIVATED TO REMOVE THE BRACE FROM THE BIAS OF THE SPRING AND ALLOW THE BRACE TO BE MOVED WITHIN THE GUIDE, WHICH IN TURN CAUSES THE LEG SUPPORT MEMBER TO BE ROTATED INTO THE RECESSED REGION. A REMOVABLE FORM OF PEDESTAL BASE IS PROVIDED TO SUPPORT THE STOWABLE TABLE AND IS ADAPTED FOR MOUNTING BETWEEN A PAIR OF SEATS. THE BASE INCLUDES A SUPPORT POST HAVING AN UPPER END PORTION WITH RECEPTACLE MEANS FOR RECEIVING THE LEG SUPPORT MEMBER OF THE TABLE AND, IN ADDITION, HAS PROJECTING MEMBERS FROM THE SUPPORT POST THAT ARE SIZED TO ENGAGE AND CLAMP ONTO THE UNDER FRAMING OF THE ADJACENT SEATS.
