ABSTRACT:
A portable table assembly including a table and a clamp. Plugs extend from a surface of the table and matingly engage and lock within corresponding receptacles in the clamp to secure the table to the clamp. The clamp is secured to a fixed position, and has a adjustable leg which extends slightly forward of the clamp to prevent downward rotation of the clamp caused by loads on the table. An optional adjustable outboard leg may be fixed to the distal end of the table, and may be folded under the table when not in use. In another embodiment, a table is provided with mounting brackets fixed to its end. Rail brackets are mounted to a surgical table rail, and the mounting brackets fit within a slot in the rail brackets. The table is secured to the rail brackets by inserting a handled pin into the rail bracket through a slot in the mounting bracket. The distal end of the table is supported by an outboard leg assembly.
