ABSTRACT:
An improved air table of the type having an article support surface with a plurality of holes therethrough, the holes being in communication with their respective air pipes which laterally project in spaced relationship from a longitudinally extending air manifold that is connected to a source of pressurized air. An air tube and the respective holes are associated with each of the juxtaposed sections of the table which form the support surface. The improvement comprises a valve on each of the pipes to restrict the flow of air from the manifold to the holes, the valve operable by an actuating responsive to an article being on or adjacent to a section so as to allow the air to be delivered to a selective section to maintain the article above the table surface as the article is moved to the next section.
