ABSTRACT:
A table assembly for use with seating apparatus has a base plate of sufficient size to fit under supports on at least one side of the seating apparatus and has an elongate member or post extending upwardly from a forward portion of the base plate to support an end, portion of a table. A linkage connects a lower surface of the table with the elongate member and the linkage can be manipulated to enable the table to be swung down along the side of the elongate member when not in use. The table can also pivot in a horizontal plane relative to the base plate to be swung to an out-of-the-way position. The elongate member or post can also be of telescoping design with a clamp for holding the table at a desired distance from the base plate for height adjustment. The base plate can also be in a prestressed, curved condition for greater stiffness. The elongate member can be received in or over a sleeve mounted on the base plate with the sleeve being adjustable to place the elongate member in a vertical position. Different thicknesses of rings can be located around the sleeve for height adjustment purposes also. Pads with projections can be located under the base plate for greater stability and one pad can be adjustable with an upstanding stop plate to prevent rearward movement of the seating apparatus. Further, the base plate can be wider to accommodate the wheels of a wheelchair.
