Abstract
Abstract A work table having a supporting frame and a member defining a surface upon which work may be performed which is mounted upon the frame and adjustable to a variety of work positions. The work member is pivotable relative to the frame and may be fixed in any one of a plurality of angular positions. Additionally, the work member may be linearly moved relative to its pivot point and fixed in any one of a plurality of linear positions. The combined angular and linear adjustability provides a work surface offering widened versatility and adjustability in a table which is particularly suitable in the treatment of disabled children.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
165 words
An adjustable work table comprising: a. a frame; b. a generally planar work member; c. a male mounting member affixed to a lower surface of the work member; d. a female mounting member pivotally mounted to the frame and including an elongate aperture therethrough and adapted to receive the male mounting member, the male mounting member being slidable through the female mounting member to thereby selectively vary the linear position of the work member relative to the pivot point of the female mounting member about the frame, the pivotal position of the female mounting member defining the pivotal position of the work member about said pivot point when the male mounting member is received within the elongate aperture of the female mounting member: and e. hinge means mounted to the female mounting member and the frame for enabling pivotal movement of the work member about the hinge means when the male mounting member is slidably received within the elongate aperture of the female mounting member.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
165 words
An adjustable work table comprising: a. a frame; b. a generally planar work member; c. a male mounting member affixed to a lower surface of the work member; d. a female mounting member pivotally mounted to the frame and including an elongate aperture therethrough and adapted to receive the male mounting member, the male mounting member being slidable through the female mounting member to thereby selectively vary the linear position of the work member relative to the pivot point of the female mounting member about the frame, the pivotal position of the female mounting member defining the pivotal position of the work member about said pivot point when the male mounting member is received within the elongate aperture of the female mounting member: and e. hinge means mounted to the female mounting member and the frame for enabling pivotal movement of the work member about the hinge means when the male mounting member is slidably received within the elongate aperture of the female mounting member.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
109 words
The adjustable work table of claim 1, wherein the male mounting member includes a plurality of spaced, aligned holes therein, and wherein the female mounting member has a hole through a lower surface thereof into the elongate aperture, the female mounting member hole being aligned with the male mounting holes when the male mounting member is slidably received in the elongate aperture of the female mounting member, the work table further comprising a plug adapted to be inserted through the hole in the female mounting member and a selected hole in the male mounting member to fix the linear position of the work member relative to said pivot point.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
64 words
The adjustable work table of claim 2, wherein the frame is generally U-shaped having a pair of parallel side walls joined at an end of each by a connecting substantially perpendicular front wall, the frame further including an elongate strut fixed between the side walls substantially parallel to the front wall, the hingemeans being mounted to the strut and to the female mounting member.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
60 words
The adjustable work table of claim 3, further comprising: a. a serrated member disposed between the strut and front wall of the frame; and b. bracket means pivotally mounted to the female mounting member and having a portion thereof adapted to cooperate with the serrated member to fix the pivotal position of the female mounting member about the hinge means.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
50 words
The adjustable work table of claim 4, further comprising: a. receptacle means for holding items to be used while performing work on the work member; and b. means adjustably mounting the receptacle means on the frame to enable positioning thereof in a desired one of a plurality of vertical locations.
