My invention consists of the improvements herein after described in the con- {
struction of Sliding Trivets and fittings connected therewith.
The invention consists of being able by means of a sliding bevil to raise the table of
the Trivet and move it either backwards or forwards by one and the same process or
action.
This is done by the following means a forms the legs of the Trivet a longitudinal
slot is made in each of the two legs (see b).
At right angles to the table c and connected thereto are two slotted supports & these
are connected to the slots b by means of a bolt e, g, fitted with a thumb screw for
tightening.
I also provide for a bolt, spring and cap at the junction a. b. for the purpose of
connecting the slot 6 in the legs a to the slots in the supports d.
The front of the table at his connected to the legs by either a collar or collar and
pulley as shewn at f running loose on the two legs of the Trivet.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is
The slots b in the legs a and slots in the supports d working in unionism with each
other also the method of connecting same by means of a bolt, spring, and cap, which
allows the table of the Trivet to be raised and moved forwards or backwards by one
movement.
