ABSTRACT:
A self-contained slidable locking mechanism for supporting a drop-leaf table extension to a tabletop, the mechanism comprising a catch plate having material removed to define an elongated groove, an elongated slidable support bar having first and second ends, a hook member attached at the first end and a stop pin extending outwardly from a first surface of the support bar, the stop pin slidably engaged within the elongated groove of the catch plate and, an elongated retainer sleeve which receives the support bar, the retainer sleeve and the catch plate forming a housing within which the slidable support bar reciprocates from an extended position to a retracted position, where in the extended position the second end of the slidable support bar extends from the housing and supports the drop-leaf table extension in a horizontal position and when in the retracted position the hook member locks the drop-leaf table extension in a folded position, the housing being adapted to be mounted to the underside of the tabletop.
