Abstract
A table leveling wedge for eliminating wobble from tables with or without glides, includes a solid block of material having an inclined top surface. A cavity formed in the top surface extends from the forward end of the block to an extent adjacent the rearward end, which cavity is defined an inclined support surface and a pair of longitudinally extended and transversely spaced apart abutment surfaces adapted to confine a table glide between them. The portions of the wedge transversely outwardly of the abutment surfaces extend forwardly of the cavity support surface to partially define a pair of feet which are advantageously used to guide a table glide between them and center the wedge relative to a glide to be supported on the wedge.
Claims11
A table leveling wedge for eliminating wobble from tables, with and without glides, on uneven surfaces, said wedge comprising,
- a solid block of material having forward and rearward ends, a bottom surface, a top surface inclined upwardly and rearwardly relative to said bottom surface and a rear surface connected to and extended between said bottom and top surfaces adjacent the rearward ends thereof.
- said top surface having a cavity formed therein and extended from the forward end of the block to an extent adjacent to said rearward end, said cavity being defined by an inclined support surface having a front edge and a pair of longitudinally extended and transversely spaced apart abutment surfaces adapted to confine a table glide therebetween,
- said top surface extending forwardly of said front edge of said support surface to define a pair of feet for receiving a table glide therebetween and generally centering said wedge relative to a glide to be supported on said wedge.

- said top surface having a cavity formed therein and extended from the forward end of the block to an extent adjacent to said rearward end, said cavity being defined by an inclined support surface having a front edge and a pair of longitudinally extended and transversely spaced apart abutment surfaces adapted to confine a table glide therebetween,
- said cavity defining opposite, longitudinally extended top surface portions on said surface each adjacent one of said abutment surfaces;
- each of said top surface portions extending forwardly of said front edge of said support surface to partially define a pair of feet for receiving a table glide therebetween and generally centering said wedge relative to a glide to be supported on said wedge;
- and
- said support surface and said forwardly extending top surface portions being forwardly tapered to form vertically narrowed front edges such that sliding of said wedge under a table glide to be leveled is facilitated.
