Abstract
Abstract An infants dressing table having a pair of nestable base sections adapted to support a pair of slidably extendable top sections. The table sections and the top sections can be easily moved into an extended configuration for dressing the infant and then reclosed to conserve space. An important safety feature of the table is that, due to its novel construction, the top sections cannot be extended while the table sections are in a nested configuration.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 25
Claim 1
Independent Claim
184 words
An infants dressing table comprising: a. a first base section; b. a first top section carried by said first base section, said first top section comprising; 1. a floor; 2. upstanding side walls; and 3. an end wall interconnecting said side walls; c. a second base section movable relative to said first base section from an extended position into a nested position; d. a second top section slidably movable relative to said first top section from an extended position to a closed position, said second top section being supported by said second base section when the latter is in an extended position, and comprising: 1. a floor; 2. upstanding side walls; and 3. an end wall interconnecting said side walls; and e. locking means carried by said second base section in operative engagement with said second top section so as to block extension thereof when said first and second base sections are in a nested position whereby sliding movement of said second top section relative to said first top section is prevented when said first and second base sections are in a nested relationship.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
184 words
An infants dressing table comprising: a. a first base section; b. a first top section carried by said first base section, said first top section comprising; 1. a floor; 2. upstanding side walls; and 3. an end wall interconnecting said side walls; c. a second base section movable relative to said first base section from an extended position into a nested position; d. a second top section slidably movable relative to said first top section from an extended position to a closed position, said second top section being supported by said second base section when the latter is in an extended position, and comprising: 1. a floor; 2. upstanding side walls; and 3. an end wall interconnecting said side walls; and e. locking means carried by said second base section in operative engagement with said second top section so as to block extension thereof when said first and second base sections are in a nested position whereby sliding movement of said second top section relative to said first top section is prevented when said first and second base sections are in a nested relationship.

upstanding side walls; and
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
4 words
upstanding side walls; and
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
75 words
An infants dressing table as defined in claim 1 in which said locking means comprises a locking member integral with said second base section and so constructed and arranged as to engage said second top section when said second base section is nested with respect to said first base section so as to prevent sliding movement of said second top section relative to said first top section so long as said base sections are nested.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
4 words
upstanding side walls; and
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
4 words
upstanding side walls; and
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
16 words
upstanding side walls, each provided with a laterally extending tongue proximate the upper edge thereof; and
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
16 words
upstanding side walls, each provided with a laterally extending tongue proximate the upper edge thereof; and
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
25 words
upstanding side walls, each provided with a groove proximate the upper edge thereof adapted to slidably receive said tongues of said first top section; and
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
25 words
upstanding side walls, each provided with a groove proximate the upper edge thereof adapted to slidably receive said tongues of said first top section; and
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
71 words
an end wall interconnecting said side walls; and e. locking means carried by said second base section in operative engagement with said second top section so as to block extension thereof when said first and second base sections are in a nested position whereby sliding movement of said second top section relative to said first top section is prevented when said first and second base sections are in a nested relationship.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
71 words
an end wall interconnecting said side walls; and e. locking means carried by said second base section in operative engagement with said second top section so as to block extension thereof when said first and second base sections are in a nested position whereby sliding movement of said second top section relative to said first top section is prevented when said first and second base sections are in a nested relationship.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
98 words
an end wall interconnecting said side walls; and e. locking means carried by said second base section for preventing sliding movement of said second top section relative to said first top section when said first and second base sections are in a nested relationship, said locking means comprising a generally U-shaped member affixed to said base section and so constructed and arranged that the bight section thereof engages said second top section and blocks extension thereof when said first and second base sections are nested and the extremities thereof form ground engaging supports for said second base section.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
98 words
an end wall interconnecting said side walls; and e. locking means carried by said second base section for preventing sliding movement of said second top section relative to said first top section when said first and second base sections are in a nested relationship, said locking means comprising a generally U-shaped member affixed to said base section and so constructed and arranged that the bight section thereof engages said second top section and blocks extension thereof when said first and second base sections are nested and the extremities thereof form ground engaging supports for said second base section.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim
42 words
An infants dressing table as defined in claim 2 in which said locking member is generally U-shaped with the bight section thereof adapted to engage said second top section and the extremities thereof comprising ground engaging supports for said second base section.
Claim 17
Dependent Claim
69 words
an end wall interconnecting said side walls; c. a second base section movable relative to said first base section from an extended position into a nested position; d. a second top section slidably movable relative to said first top section from an extended position to a closed position, said second top section being supported by said second base section when the latter is in an extended position, and comprising:
Claim 18
Dependent Claim
69 words
an end wall interconnecting said side walls; c. a second base section movable relative to said first base section from an extended position into a nested position; d. a second top section slidably movable relative to said first top section from an extended position to a closed position, said second top section being supported by said second base section when the latter is in an extended position, and comprising:
Claim 19
Dependent Claim
69 words
an end wall interconnecting said side walls; c. a second base section movable relative to said first base section from an extended position into a nested position; d. a second top section slidably movable relative to said first top section from an extended position to a closed position, said second top section being supported by said second base section when the latter is in an extended position, and comprising:
