FIGS. 12 and 13 are detail views illustrating other means for locking the upper portion to the support portion when the table top is in use, and
FIG. 14 is a sectional view of a modified form of upper portion.
Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, the base or lower support portion is shown by way of example as made from tubular material. It comprises two inverted U-shaped end members, each of which is formed to provide a central part which when the support portion is in use constitutes a horizontal upper transverse member 1, and two legs 2 that project downwardly from the respective ends of the transverse member 1, the legs 2 being provided with feet 2'. The two legs 2 of each end member are interconnected by a lower transverse member 3 which is below and parallel to the upper transverse member 1, and the two end members are interconnected by longitudinal members. In the case illustrated there are three parallel longitudinal members, namely two lower longitudinal members 4 that interconnect the legs of the two end members, and a third longitudinal member 4 that interconnects the two lower transverse members 3.
Each of the upper transverse members 1 is formed, in the side that faces the other upper transverse member 1,
with a hole 5 through which extends a respective one of two aligned projections on the upper support portion. The upper support portion comprises a flat table top 6 to the flat underside of which (referred to the position of use of the table top) a cushion 7 is secured in any suitable manner, for example by means of adhesive. As shown in FIG. 4, a rod or tube 8 extends through the table top '6 and projects therefrom at each end to form two aligned horizontal pivot pins 9, the pivot pins 9 forming the abovementioned aligned projections. Each of the pivot pins projects into a respective hole 5 in an upper transverse member 1 in the manner illustrated in FIG. 4.
In the embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3 the parts of the support portion are permanently connected together, as by welding. They may however be connected together in any other suitable manner, for example by rivets or bolts, as illustrated in FIGS. 5, 6 and 7, 8. FIGS. 5 and 6 show an end of a longitudinal member 4 flattened to form a lug 10, which has a rivet hole, the lug 10 being inserted through an opening in a leg 2 and being secured in place by a rivet 12. In FIGS. 7 and 8 an end of a longitudinal member 4 is arcuately shaped so as to fit partly around a leg 2, to which it is secured by means of a rivet 13. In both of the last-described cases nuts and bolts may be used instead of the rivets 12 and 13- re-l spectively, to enable the support portion to be dismantled and thereby facilitate storage and/or transport.
Means are provided for enabling the upper portion to be fixed relative to the support portion when the article of furniture is to be used as a table. In FIGS. 1 to 3 each of the upper transverse members 1 is formed with a hole therethrough, one such hole being visible at 14 in FIG. 1, for the reception of a headed locking pin 15 which can be inserted through the hole 14 and into a corresponding recess in the table top. In another arrangement, illustrated in FIG. 9 to 11, each of the upper transverse members 1 is formed, in the side facing the other upper transverse member, with a hole 16 through which projects a plunger 17 which is urged towards the said other upper transverse member by a compression spring 18- which at the end remote from the plunger 17 abuts the inside of the tubular upper member 1 and which surrounds a rod 19 that projects through a hole 20 in the member 1. The rod 19 is connected at one end to the plunger 17 and carries at its other end a head 21 that serves as a finger piece and which carries a stop in the form of a pin 22 that projects from the head 21 parallel to the rod 19. The hole 20 is of generally circular shape (FIG. 11) with a recess 23 that forms a passageway for the pin 22. When the article of furniture is in use as a table, the angular position of the head 21 is such that the pin 22 projects through its passageway 23 and the plunger 17 projects into a hole or recess in the table top 6 (FIG. 9) so as to lock the table top 6 in a horizontal position. When the article is to be converted to a leg rest, the head 21 associated with each member 1 is pulled so as to retract the plunger 17 from the hole or recess in the table top, the pin 22 being simultaneously withdrawn from its passageway 23. Each head 21 is then turned so as to bring the pin 22 out of register with its passageway 23, and is then released so that under the action of the spring 18 the pin 22 abuts the outside of the member 1 so as to hold the plunger 17 out of engagement with table top 6 (FIG. 10) The upper portion can then be turned over to bring the cushion 7 uppermost and thereby form a leg rest (FIG. 3), the upper portion then being capable of pivoting about the axis of the pivot pins 9 to a position that suits the user of the leg rest.
FIGS. 12 and 13 illustrate a modification of the looking means illustrated in 'FIGS. 9 to 11. In this case the plunger 17 is carried by one end of a stem 24 the other end of which is slotted or flattened, and a rivet 25' extending across the slot or flat end serves as a pivot for a cam 25 provided with a lever 26. When the lever 26 is in the position shown in FIG. 12 with its' free'end adjacent the member 1, the lowest part of the cam 25 abuts the outside of the upper transverse member 1, and the plunger 17 can project into the corresponding recess in the table top under the action of the springlS. When the lever 26 is moved to the position shown in FIG. 13 the highest part of the cam 25 is caused to abut the outside of the member 1, and the plunger 17 is thereby retracted from the recess in the table top (FIG. 13). It will be understood that both of the upper transverse members 1 are provided with such locking means, and that when both levers 26 are in the position shown in FIG. 13 the upper portion is released and can be turned over to bring the cushion 7 uppermost. 7
FIG. 14 shows a modification of the upper portion. Instead of the table top 6 having a flat underside as in FIGS. 2, 3 and 4 to which the cushion 7 is secured, there is provided around the edge of the table top a rim 28 which in relation to the table top 6When in use as such projects downwardly to accommodate the cushion 7. In this case the rod or tube 8, the ends of which serve as pivot pins for the upper portion when the article of furniture is in use as a leg rest, may extend through the rim 28 and through the cushion 7 as shown. The cushion 7 may be a firm fit in the rim 28 so as to be normally retainedtherein but to be readily removable when desired, for example for cleaning, or it may be positively fixed in the rim 28 in any suitable manner, as by adhesive. I
In a modification, instead of the pivot pins being constituted by the ends of a rod or tub 8, individual pivot pins may be fixed in any suitable manner to the respective ends of the upper portion.
On any of the above-described embodiments of the invention the table top may be provided with a rim that projects away from the cushion 7 so as to form a tray when the table top is uppermost.
A tray 29 may be carried by the longitudinal members 4 of the support portion as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, being provided if desired with spring clips that engage releasably over these longitudinal members or through holes in these members.
As is readily apparent from the above description, the upper support portion when the cushion 7 is positioned uppermost is freely pivotal relative to the base. This free pivotal movement is highly desirable since it permits the cushion 7 to be freely angularly displaced to accommodate the users legs in the most comfortable position of rest or support. Further, as disclosed in FIGS. l-3, all of the longitudinal connecting members 4 are disposed substan-' tially below the cushion 7 when the latter is uppermost, whereby the cushion can freely angularly move to 'accommodate the users legs, without the users legs coming into contact with the longitudinal connecting members.
What is claimed is: 1. A convertible piece of furniture for use selectively as a table or a leg rest, the improvement comprising:
rigid base means including two end members rigidly interconnected solely by spacing means extending therebetween; support means mounted on said base means and located between said end members, said support means including a table top and a cushion arranged in backto-back relationship; pivot means rotatably connecting said support means to said end members whereby said support means is capable of rotation relative to said base means about a substantially horizontal pivot axis "to bring said table top or said cushion selectively uppermost to form respectively a table or a leg rest, said pivot means permitting free rotation of said support means relative to said base means when said cushion is uppermost so that, when the piece of furniture is used as a leg rest, said supportmean's is capable of freely angularly turning about said pivot axis to accommodate itself to themuself of .the leg rest; and said spacing means being positioned at an elevation substantially below said pivot axis and out of the path of rotation of said support means, so thatwhen the cushion is uppermost the spacing means do not interfere with the free turning of the cushion or with the legs of the user disposedin engagement with the cushion irrespective of the angular relationship of the cushion relative to the base means; and 7 locking means coacting between said base means and said support means for rigidlylocking said' support means against rotation relatively to said base means only when said tabletop is uppermost, said locking means including a'locking member movable between a locked position where it fixably interconnects said base means and said support means when said table top is uppermost and a released position wherein said support means is freely rotatable relative to said base means, and means for holding said locking member in said released position when said cushion is uppermost for permitting free rotation of saidsupport means. 2. A convertible piece of furniture according to claim 1, wherein said end members comprise substantially parallel inverted U-shaped members, each of said U- shaped members having a substantially horizontal support portion and a pair of substantially vertical leg portions extending downwardly from opposite ends of said horizontal support portion, said pivot means being connected between said support means and the horizontal support portions of said end members for permitting free rotation of said support means in the space between said end members;
a said spacing means including a pluralityv of elongated parallel connecting members extending between and fixedly connected to said vertical leg portions, all of said connecting members being disposedat an elevation below said support meansand spaced from the rotational path thereof.
