"
The main object of this invention is to construct children's tables in such a
manner as to render them suitable for the purpose of writing desks, reading desks
or slates, but the invention is also applicable to tables in general. The top or
board of the table is rendered adjustable and is combined with the under framing
of the table by a peculiar also adjustable frame one edge of which is jointed to the
under framing and the other is jointed to the top. The aforesaid frame is adjustable
both as regards the under framing and the top so that the latter can not only be
placed at any required inclination but also raised or lowered in height, while the
whole construction is more substantial than in the analogous appliances heretofore
proposed. The adjustable frame may for the object in view be provided with
one or more legs which can be steadied in the required inclination against teeth or
recesses formed on or in the under framing, and the top may be similarly provided
with legs which can be steadied in the required inclination against teeth or
recesses in or on the adjustable frame.

board of the table is rendered adjustable and is combined with the under framing
of the table by a peculiar also adjustable frame one edge of which is jointed to the
under framing and the other is jointed to the top. The aforesaid frame is
adjustable both as regards the under framing and the top so that the latter can not

teeth or recesses formed on or in the under framing, and the top may be similarly
provided with legs which can be steadied in the required inclination against teeth
or recesses in or on the adjustable frame.
Figures 1 and 2 of the accompanying drawings are side views in different
positions of a table constructed according to this invention and Figure 3 is a plan.
The top A is at a hinged to the frame B which latter again at bis hinged to the under
framing D or frame proper of the table. d, d are legs which can be made to rest
in or against teeth f formed on the frame B and on the under framing D according
to any required relative position of the parts A B and D
The top A may be black varnished or covered with a slate composition and thus
serve as a "slate
""
I claim as the invention communicated to me :—
The combination of the table top A with the under framing or frame proper of
the table by means of an intermediate frame B which can be placed at any required
inclination relatively to the top A and the under framing D for the purpose of
raising lowering and inclining the top A as required substantially as set forth and
also as described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
In Witness whereof I the said Gerard Wenzeslaus von Nawrocki have
hereunto set my hand and seal this Thirteenth day of November in the
year of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and eighty-two :-
