Claims3
A table with a changeable table sheet comprising:
- a supporting board adapted to be moved between a disengaged position and a engaged position;
- a retaining seat having a base and an annular portion connected around a circumferential edge of said base, said annular portion including a vertically spaced inwardly extending radial flange and a vertical annular wall integral with an outer edge of said flange such that said supporting board is received in said retaining seat on said base and is axially movable in said retaining seat with respect to said annular portion but limited beneath said flange;
- a plurality of elastic members received in said retaining seat for biasing said supporting board upwardly against said flange;
- a table sheet formed by a plurality of separable layers of membranes and placed on said supporting board so as to be urged upwardly against said flange;
- a leg attached under said retaining seat for stably supporting thereon said retaining seat;
- operating means for making said table sheet easily changeable, said operating means including:
- a first connecting rod penetrating through said retaining seat and having a first end fixed to said supporting board and a second opposite end;
- and
- a second connecting rod having a third and pivotably connected to said leg, an intermediate portion pivotably connected to said second opposite end and a fourth opposite actuating end,
- wherein downward actuation of said fourth opposite actuating end causes said supporting board to be lowered into the disengaged position to allow a user to disengage a top membrane of said table sheet from the table and wherein upward release of said fourth opposite actuating end causes said supporting board to move upwardly to abut said table sheet against said flange.
