ABSTRACT:
A table assembly for seating apparatus has from one to four base assemblies positioned under one to four corner support portions of the seating apparatus. A first elongate base plate of the first base assembly extends under a first support portion on one side of the seating apparatus and extends toward a second side, projecting beyond the first side. A receptacle is affixed to the projecting portion of the first base plate and extends rearwardly toward a second base assembly, when used, under a second support portion. A rigid member connects the receptacle and the second base assembly which has an adjustable stop abutting an end of the second support. A third base assembly, when used, has a base plate under a third support portion of the seating apparatus on the second side and has an attached rigid member connected to the first base plate. A fourth base assembly, when used, is under a fourth support portion and also has an adjustable stop. A flexible member, when all four base assemblies are used, extends around the adjustable stop of the fourth base plate assembly to hold the stop in place. The base plate assemblies are designed so that the receptacle and a table-supporting post can be located on the other side of the seating apparatus, if desired. Jacks can be used between the first base plate and a frame member of the seating apparatus for adding stiffness to the first base plate. A special tilt assembly holds the table securely in a horizontal position, yet enables it to be readily titled.
