ABSTRACT:
A tilting table top mechanism includes a chassis member which is secured to the underside of a table top and a base plate which is secured to the top of a table leg. Exceptional rigidity is achieved by a dual pivot mechanism. The pivots employ novel bearing elements which are easily removed and replaceable. Pivot tabs on the base plate are insertable into recesses, or slots, in the bearing elements. At a given angle of rotation of the table top to the leg, the chassis member and base plate are readily detached. A dual locking mechanism maintains the table top in its normal horizonal position but is manually disengaged with ease.
