ABSTRACT:
A table, comprising a table top consisting of at least two table top elements with each table top element and the next adjacent table top element fitting together along an abutment line. Pedestal means is provided for directly supporting at least one but not all of the table top elements. The abutment line comprises a non-straight line and at least three pairs of cooperating interfitting male and female members are provided for connecting together each table top element and the next adjacent table top element. The pairs of cooperating male and female members are disposed at spaced apart locations in a non-collinear arrangement along the or each said abutment line. The pairs of cooperating members form the sole means of support for table top elements not provided with a pedestal and the weight of such elements is carried by shear stresses in the cooperating members and by bending stresses in the table top elements themselves.
