Table with movable working surface

A table comprising:

• a table frame having a plurality of legs extending therefrom;
• a horizontally movable working surface supported on the table frame, said working surface being pivotable from a horizontal position to an inclined position;
• first and second running rail means provided on the table frame for controlling the movement of the work surface with respect to said table frame, each running rail means comprising two running rail elements including a first running rail element, having a first and second end, rigidly attached to the table frame and a second running rail element, having a first and second end, mounted to the table frame at a location adjacent to the first running rail element, said first end of said second running rail element being pivotally mounted to said table frame such that said second running rail element is rotatably mounted to the table frame, said first end of said first running rail element having a sloped support surface on which the second end of the second running rail element lies on when the working surface is in the horizontal position;
• a pair of edge rails extending from said working surface, each edge rail receiving said first and second running rail elements of one of said running rail means in a form fitting relationship when said working surface is in the horizontal position and receiving said second running rail element of one of said running rail means when said work surface is in said inclined position;
• a holding and sliding element mounted on an underside of each edge rail for being supported by said first running rail element of one of said running rail means when the working surface is in the inclined position such that holding and sliding element is located on the sloped surface of the first running rail element and underneath said second running rail element of the one running rail means, said holding and sliding element being located underneath the first and second running rail elements of one of said running rail means when the working surface is in the horizontal position;
• and
• tightening means for securing said working surface in place when said working surface is in the inclined position.
