Abstract
A four-sided drop leaf table is provided which can be converted between a square table and a round table, or between a elongated rectangular table and an oval table. The mating edges of the table and leaves have complementary routed contours. The corners of the leaves have a 45.degree. miter cut edge which abuts a similar edge on an adjacent leaf when the leaves are in a raised position. The leaves also have a 45.degree. compound cut edge extending from the bottom surface thereof, which allows the leaves to fold downwardly 90.degree. from the raised position to a lowered position without interference. The table is provided with a telescoping pedestal so that the height of the table top can be adjusted between a coffee table height and dining table height.
Claims9
A four-sided drop leaf table, comprising:
- a rectangular table having a first edge, a second edge, a third edge, and a forth edge, with adjacent edges defining four 90.degree. corners of the table;
- a first leaf pivotally attached to the table top adjacent the first edge, and having an inner edge and a curved outer edge;
- a second leaf pivotally attached to the table top adjacent the second edge, and having an inner edge and a curved outer edge;
- a third leaf pivotally attached to the table top adjacent the third edge, and having an inner edge and a curved outer edge;
- a fourth leaf pivotally attached to the table top adjacent the fourth edge, and having an inner edge and a curved outer edge;
- each leaf having opposite corner portions with an angled segment extending between the inner and outer edges at each corner portion;
- hinges pivotally connecting each leaf and respective table top edge whereby each leaf is pivotal between a raised position substantially coplanar with the table top and a lowered position extending downwardly substantially 90.degree. from the table top the angled segment of each leaf mating with the angled segment of each adjacent leaf to define a substantially continuous perimeter edge when all four leaves are in the raised positions.
