Abstract
A convertible table which is primarily intended for games comprises a stationary horizontal bottom panel and a movable panel slidably mounted for outward withdrawal or inward return to the storage position by means of at least one pair of roller-tracks carried by fixed side-panels. The roller-tracks are placed with respect to the stationary bottom panel at a level such that the two panels are located in the storage position at a vertical distance from each other which permits storage of objects on the bottom panel.

A convertible table primarily intended for games, comprising a stationary horizontal bottom panel mounted on four rigid legs and provided with two side panels and one end panel fixed to said bottom panel and extending upwardly, and a movable panel slidably mounted over said stationary panel for displacement in a direction parallel to said stationary panel by means of rollers adapted to cooperate with at least one pair of roller tracks secured to said side panels, the movable panel being capable of displacement from an inward storage position in which the movable panel overlies the stationary panel to an outwardly extended position in the line of extension of the stationary bottom panel and provided with at least one leg fitted with a small wheel for supporting said movable panel in said outwardly extended position, said roller tracks being placed with respect to said stationary bottom panel at a level such that the two panels are located in the storage position at a vertical distance from each other which permits storage of objects on said stationary bottom panel and said movable panel, said table further comprising a cover resting on said side panels for providing protection above said movable panel when said movable panel is in said storage position, said cover comprising two table-top panels joined to each other by means of a transverse hinge adjacent to that side of the table from which the movable panel is outwardly extensible, removable spacer members being provided for extending said at least one leg of the movable panel and receiving the unfolded table-top panel when said movable panel is in the outwardly extended position.
