  • Patent number: 6158358
    Abstract: The invention of the application relates to a table which has a table top with at least five sides and one of the sides is shorter than the remaining sides. The remaining sides can in one embodiment all be of the same length. The provision of the table top in this form allows the same to be used on its own to accommodate four people, each sitting at the table and none required to straddle a table leg as is conventionally the case. The table can also be used with other tables as part of a table system with the tables abutting and each table providing at least two seating positions. There is also provided as a further aspect of the invention engagement means which allow the tables to be held in the required position.
