Overbed table with single bar cantilever support

The overbed table comprising:

• a base member;
• an adjustable vertical column extending upwardly from one end of said base member;
• a table top attached at one end to an adjustable end of said adjustable vertical column and including a remote end extending outwardly therefrom;
• a cantilever support brace spaced below the one end of the table top extending outwardly from said adjustable vertical column and upwardly to support the remote end of said table top;
• and
• a vanity drawer and drawer guides attached to a bottom of said table top above said cantilever support brace for slidably supporting the vanity drawer.

The overbed table comprising:

• a base member;
• an adjustable vertical column extending upwardly from one end of said base member;
• a table top attached at one end to an adjustable end of said adjustable vertical column and including a remote end extending outwardly therefrom;
• a cantilever support brace spaced below the one end of the table top extending outwardly from said adjustable vertical column and upwardly to support the remote end of said table top;
• and
• a pair of spaced drawer guides attached to a bottom of said table top between the one end and the remote end of the table top and a lower table top slidably supported by said drawer guides.

An overbed table comprising:

• a base assembly;
• a vertical column on one end of said base assembly;
• a cantilever support brace extending outwardly from said vertical column and upwardly with a distal end of said support brace being substantially even with a top of said vertical column;
• a first flange on said vertical column and a second flange on the distal end of said support brace;
• a plurality of spaced vertical axles disposed on each of said first and second flanges;
• a driving wheel rotatably mounted on each of said vertical axles;
• a first table top in driving contact with said driving wheels;
• a second table top overlying said first table top and said driving wheels and having a driven member mounted on the bottom at each end thereof, each of said driven members having opposed edges configured to interact with said driving wheels whereby movement of either said first or second table tops in a first direction will cause the other table top to move in a second direction opposite to said first direction.

A bidirectional table top comprising:

• a plurality of spaced axles;
• a driving wheel rotatably supported on each of said axles, each of said driving wheels having a surface configured to support a table top;
• a first table top having opposite edges configured to cooperate with said driving wheels to support said first table top;
• a second table top overlying said first table top and said driving wheels;
• and
• a pair of driven members for said second table top disposed on a bottom of said second table top near each end thereof, each of said driven members having an opposed edge configured to cooperate with said driving wheels to support and frictionally move said second table top.

An overbed table comprising:

• a base member;
• a vertically adjustable column on said base member;
• a cantilever support brace attached to said vertically adjustable column near a remote end of said column, said support brace extending away from said column and upwardly so that the remote end of said support brace is even with a top of said column;
• a first flange member disposed on the top of said column;
• a second flange member disposed on an end of said support brace, said second flange member being oriented parallel to said first flange member;
• a vertical axle mounted on each of said elongated flange members;
• a driving wheel rotatably mounted on each of said vertical axles;
• a first table top positioned between each of said driving wheels;
• and
• a second table top overlying said first table top and each of said driving wheels, said second table top being operatively coupled to the side of said driving wheels opposite to the side contacting said first table top so that motion of either table top in a first direction will cause the other table top to move in a second opposite direction.
