Abstract: The invention pertains to an extensible table, characterized by the fact that it consists of at least one sliding-out table top and at least one extension, whereby the latter is located, in position of rest, under the slidable table top or tops, and whereby said extension can cooperate, by means of outwardly directed protrusions, with vertical slots in each of the adjacent side members of the table frame, and whereby means are provided within said side members which permit, after sliding out the table top or tops, to maintain said extension in a raised position, on the one hand, and to let down again said extension for shortening the table, on the other hand.
