Abstract:
A load carrying table for a peaked roof, the roof being pitched downward on each side of the peak, said table comprising:a) a pair of identical rigid planar members having adjacent elongated end members which are hinged together lengthwise, said hingedly joined planar members generally defining a table top for holding a load;a pair of elongated leg members for each of said planar members, said leg members pivotally attached at one end to each of said end members, said leg members extending downward from said end members for resting against a roof on opposite sides of a roof peak when said hinged end members rest on the peak of a roof;a pair of elongated arm members for each of said planar members, each of said arm members pivotally attached at one end to its planar member and extending downward from the planar member and attached at its other end to a leg member such that when a load is placed on the table top resting on the roof peak a force is applied by each arm member against its attached leg member to press the latter against the roof.
