Tablecloth and device for fixing the skirt of said tablecloth

Abstract

Improved tablecloth and device for fixing the skirt of said tablecloth, said tablecloth comprising an independent skirt which can be detachably held to the board of the table by means which enable a variable distribution of the fixing points, and a cover which is placed on the surface of the table board and hanging sideways and hiding the edge of the board as well as the fixing points of the skirt. The device for fixing the skirt comprises a frame which is fixed to the lower part of the table board, and at a predetermined distance from the edge of said board, remaining slightly separated therefrom by discontinuous portions which can be integral with the frame or not. A variable number of C-shaped parts are placed on the frame which embrace it and are held by means of a narrowing section configured by its own branches, thereby enabling the lateral displacement along the frame. The portions are provided externally with Velcro-type bands to be fixed with their counter-parts which are sewn to the skirt, thereby making possible the displacement of the fixing points thus formed and a regular and esthetic distribution of the folds.
