Abstract
A self-leveling table assembly comprising at least two table segments having multiple sides and a top surface, wherein each table segment has interface regions on each side, each interface region having a half-groove therein. The at least two table segments abut one another so that the interface regions of each table segment form a full-groove there between. A leveling bar is located within the full-groove to level the at least two table segments relative to one another, thereby forming a level table, the top surfaces of the segments being within the same plane.

A professional and aesthetically pleasing self-leveling table assembly comprising:
- at least two table segments having multiple sides and a top surface, wherein each table segment has interface regions on each side, each interface region having a multi-sided half-groove therein;
- the at least two table segments abutting one another so that the interface regions of each table segment form a polygonal full-groove there between;
- and
- wherein a unitary polygonal leveling bar is located within the full-groove to level the at least two table segments relative to one another, thereby forming a level table, the top surfaces of the segments being within the same plane and wherein all leveling forces on the two table segments originate from within the full-groove.
A professional and aesthetically pleasing self-leveling table assembly comprising:
- at least two table segments having multiple sides and a top surface, wherein each table segment has interface regions on each side, each interface region having a three-sided half-groove therein;
- the at least two table segments abutting one another so that the interface regions of each table segment form a hexagonal full-groove there between;
- and
- wherein a unitary hexagonal leveling bar formed of wood is located within the full-groove to level the at least two table segments relative to one another, thereby forming a level table, the top surfaces of the segments being within the same plane.
A method of forming a professional and aesthetically pleasing self-leveling table assembly, the method comprising:
- providing at least two table segments having multiple sides and a top surface, wherein each table segment has interface regions on each side, each interface region having a multi-sided half-groove therein;
- abutting the at least two table segments against one another so that the interface regions of each table segment forms a polygonal full-groove there between;
- and
- inserting a unitary polygonal leveling bar within the full-groove to level the at least two table segments relative to one another, thereby forming a level table, the top surfaces of the segments being within the same plane with the leveling bar presenting a clean and smooth profile below the table.
