Abstract
A framework contains a copy machine having a transparent platen on its rectangular top surface, and an ejection slot and access door on sides below the top surface. Three planar leaves are attached to the framework such that they may be moved either to a horizontal position coplanar with the transparent platen or to a vertical position proximate the framework. When in the raised horizontal position, the leaves provide a large surface which facilitates copying large sheets or plats. An aperture within a planar leaf and adjustments in the framework provide access to the sides of the copy machine for operational purposes.
Claims13
A table adapted for use with a copy machine, said copy machine having
- a. a rectangular top surface,
- b. a transparent platen on said top surface,
- c. an ejection slot for ejecting copies in a side below said top surface,
- d. a paper input slot for injecting paper in a side below said top surface,
- e. an access door in a side below said top surface, and
- f. a base supporting said copy machine on the floor;
- the improved table comprising in combination with the above:
- g. a framework on said floor,
- h. at least two planar leaves,
- j. said copy machine within said framework,
- k. leaf hinges attached to each planar leaf,
- m. said leaf hinges securing each of said planar leaves to the framework in a horizontal position with at least one side of each of said planar leaves adjacent to at least one side of the copy machine within said framework, and
- n. said leaf hinges also securing each of said planar leaves to the framework in a horizontal position with the upper surfaces of said planar leaves coplanar with the transparent platen of said copy machine as defined above,
- o. said leaf hinges further forming means for securing said planar leaves to the framework so that leaves may be folded to a vertical position proximate
- said framework,
- p. Said framework having four legs,
- q. said legs rigidly connect together on three sides of said copy machine,
- r. said framework having at least two top braces connected to the top of said legs,
- s. said leaves being connected to said top braces by said hinges,
- t. said framework having a middle brace connecting two legs below the tops thereof,
- u. said middle brace being below said rejection slot.
