cheap annular table-body is provided, and,
furthermore, such arrangement provides
means for properly and quickly securing each
leg to the spider-frame of the table, the said
5 spider-frame being also made in three sec-
tions, each comprising a leg 111, the lower end
of which terminates in the segmental tubular
portion 11
It will be manifest that before assembling
1o the table each leg-section 11 can be made
fast to the cleat-bar 9, and thereby facilitate
the assemibhng of the three spider-frame mem-
bers, as each member can be properly and
speedily made fast by securing the cleat-bars
15 9 to the under side of the main table-section,
and, by reason thereof, bringing the ends 11 1
in juxtaposition to form a socket 12, which
can be readily clamped up to suit by means of
bolts and nuts 14, that pass through the sev-
20 eral apertured ears 111, which are formed on
the parts 11, as clearly shown in the drawings.
The spider-fiLame that supports the maid
table-section 6 is held to turn on the upper
end of the spindle 4, and the socket portion
25 of said frame being adapted to rest on the an-
nular seat 4 of the spindle, as clearly shown
in Fig 4.
The table-sect ion 7 has a pendent spider-
frame which incltides a central pendent socket
30 71 for receiving the uppei end of the spin-
dle 7b, which is held clamped in the rod 4,
and the socket 71 has a clamp-screw 7C, where-
by the table-section can be held locked from
rotation on the spindle 7b when desired. The
35 table-section 7 is also centrally apertured, as
at 13, and the said aperture registers with the
socket 7', whereby to provide a socket to re-
ceive the lower end of a short spindle 15 of
a third table-section 16, which is held clamped
40 in the spindle 15 by the socket 161 and screw
16b. (See Fig. 4 )
From the foregoing description, taken in
connection w iti the accompanying drawings,
it is thought the advantages of my table will
45 readily appear. The several parts are of such
construction that they can be quickly assem-
bled or taken apart, and when set up the same
provides a stable and neat table, in which the
several sections can be held stationary or ro-
50 tated, as desied. The rod 4 also has an an-
nular seat 4\ to engage the upper end of the
tubular portion of the leg spider members, as
clearly shown in Fig. 4.
Having thus described my invention, what 1I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Pat- 55
eut, is--
1. In a table of the character described, aii
annular table member formed of sections of
like shape arranged end to end, a cleat 9, se-
cured to the under side of each alternate sec- 6o
tion, and having its extremities extending
over the ends of the adjacent alternate table-
section, the cross-cleats 10, secured to the
cleats :, and to the table-section, and a spider
supporting-frame for the table-section, con- 65
sistiirg of three legs 11a, the upper ends of
which are secured to the cross-cleats 10, one
to each cleat, the lower ends of said table-sec-
tion terminatingin socket-like portions, means
torelamping the said socket-like portions to 7:
fom in a socket 12, in combination with a sup-
portang-lbase consisting of leg members, and
an upwadly-extending spindle adapted to fit
the socket 12, to the aforesaid spider-frame,
all being arranged substantially as shown and 75
for the purposes described.
2. The herein -described improved table,
consisting of a third base formed of three sepa-
rate leg members, the upper ends of which
terminate in socket -sections, said sections So
having means for .joining them to form a sin-
gle socket, the spindle vertically adjustable
within the said socket, the upper end of which
is made tubular, a spider-frame, consisting of
three separate legs 11, the lower ends of 85
which terminate in socket-like portions, said
ends having means for joining, whereby to
produce a single socket 12, adapted to fit over
the spindle 4, the upper ends of the said legs
11' carrying transversely-disposed cleats 10, 90
an annular table-section 6, formed of a series
of like sections 6", the ends of which abut,
cleats 9 fastened upon the under side of the
said sections, and adapted to interlock with
the sup poi ting-cleats 10, a second table-sec- 95
tion 7, having a central aperture, and a cen-
tral socket registering therewith, a spindle
adapted to be secure ed within the said socket,
and held to turn in the tubular end of the
main spindle 4, and a thud table-section hay- ioo
ing a pendent spindle adapted to extend
through a central opening, and the second ta-
ble-section and to enter its socket, all being ar-
ranged substantially as shown and described.
