Abstract:
An anti-glide apparatus adapted for use on an institutional folding table having top sections and having outer and center leg supports of a fixed length, the leg supports being the only members supporting the top sections and extending between the top sections and a support surface, and wherein the top sections are hinged together for movement of the table between open and closed positions, the apparatus comprising:an upper member attached with respect to the table at a position between at least two leg supports, the upper member having a central axis and wherein the upper member is distinct from any of the leg supports; and a lower member slidably disposed with respect to the upper member, the lower member being free at all times to infinitely extend and retract between limits in a direction parallel with the axis so as to allow the lower member to make frictional contact with the support surface.
