Table slide device

A slide device for supporting the folding leaf of a drop-leaf table comprising an elongated bar, an elongated retainer channel having opposite ends which receives said bar for lengthwise reciprocation, said channel having oppositely extending coplanar flanges on opposite sides thereof which define a substantially flat mounting surface adapted to mount said channel on the underside of a tabletop, said bar having an upper surface spaced below said mounting surface, a first boss on each flange near one end of said channel which projects above said mounting surface, a second boss of substantially the same height above said surface as said first boss on each flange and disposed adjacent to said first boss on the side thereof toward the other end of said channel, each second boss having a first mounting hole therethrough and each said flange having a second mounting hole near said other end of said channel, said bar being movable between a retracted position substantially within said channel and an extended position extending outwardly from said other end of said channel for supporting the folding leaf in a horizontal position generally aligned with said table top.
