ABSTRACT:
A table leg securement device is disclosed including the ends of adjacent apron sections sandwiched between a corner block and a table leg. In the most preferred forms, the apron sections may be placed in a flat, shipping position and in a perpendicular position to the table top by hinges or by a dovertail interconnection. To avoid interference, the apron section are hinged by offset and butt type hinges to pivot away and toward the center of the table top in its most preferred form. The corner block includes tabs sandwiched between the table top and the edges of the apron sections. The corner block in its preferred form is channel-shaped and includes flange portions which are received in and engaged by slots formed in the first ends of the first and second apron sections for simultaneously forcing the first ends of the apron sections against the first end of the table ends of the apron sections against the first end of the table leg while maintaining the longitudinal axis of the table leg perpendicular to the longitudinal axes of the first and second apron sections when the corner block is attached to the table leg.
