Table having additional extendible and retractable leaves

A table formed substantially symmetrically about a vertical central axis and comprising table leaves displaceable between a first position, in which a surface area of the table is relatively small, and a second position, in which the surface area of the table is relatively large because of an insertion of additional leaves, the table leaves (4, 5 and 6) being displaceable in a radial direction relative to the vertical central axis by cooperating with an underlying turning plate (14), the turning of which causes the radial displacement of the table leaves (4, 5 and 6) between the first position and the second position, said table leaves being shaped in such a manner that in the first position they abut one another substantially along radial planes extending from the central axis as well as at points adjacent said central axis, and whereby the additional leaves are mutually defined along rims extending in the second position of the table leaves substantially along straight lines between the innermost point of each table leaf adjacent the central axis and the innermost point of the adjacent table leaf, characterised in that the additional leaves (10, 11, 12 and 13) comprise a central leaf (13) and several outer leaves (10, 11 and 1) which abut the central leaf on each straight rim of the central leaf and are hingedly interconnected at said abutting planes, said additional leaves cooperating with biasing means (35-40), said biasing means being disposed between the additional leaves (10, 11, 12 and 13) and at last one wall portion of a vertically extending storing chamber (9), said biasing means subjecting the additional leaves (10, 11, 12 and 13) to a biasing force in a direction out of the storing chamber (9) when said additional leaves are stored therein, and in a direction towards an interior of the storing chamber (9) when said additional leaves are situated between the table leaves (4, 5 and 6) in the second position thereof, said storing chamber being centrally located within a supporting column for the table and below the surface area of the table for the substantially vertical storing of the additional leaves when the table is in a retracted condition.
