ABSTRACT:
Each of the four corners of the tempered glass plate in a chrome and glass table rests within a different one of the tubular legs of the table with its apex being centered in the leg and its sides abutting vertical sides of a recessed notch in the tubular wall of the leg, each corner being held in place by a different glass-plate retainer which engages a corresponding tubular leg substantially around its entire circumference and abuts the top of the glass plate. In an embodiment of table having horizontal chrome rims extending between legs of the table and supporting the sides of the plate along its center portion, the glass-plate retainer has a shroud extending downwardly and around the outer joints between the rims and the leg to cover unsightly construction features and has an upper portion elevated above the shroud to engage the top of the glass plate. In another embodiment, the glass-plate retainer has an inner surface which engages the inner surface of the leg across its entire circumference, but receives the glass plate in a recess positioned even with the recessed portion in the leg. The glass-plate retainers are decorative.
