Abstract: An organizer for forms that includes a housing with front and rear openings and several guiding members mounted within the housing at a predetermined spaced apart relationship with respect to each other and designed to slidably accept trays of cooperative rectangular dimensions so that the trays are kept at parallel and spaced apart relationship with respect to each other. Each tray has a rear side with a predetermined number of cut-outs. Plates are mounted over the cut-outs to selectively provide an edge closer to the rear of the tray than the edge of the cut-out. The tray with the post member or members causes other linked trays to make the forms contained therein available to a user at once. Actuating post members can be removably mounted on the plates to cause other trays having plates to move when the actuating post member pushes them.

Abstract: There is described a convertible table system which has a fixed central portion and leaves along at least two adjacent edges. The leaves fold from an operative position where they are substantially co-planar with the table top to a stored position where they are rotated through 180.degree. to be against or adjacent the bottom of the fixed part of the table. The leaves are retained in the operative position by sliding supports. These supports have pendant portions to be sufficiently robust to withstand the usage to which the table might be put. The pendant portions are able to be retracted out of the paths of the leaves when they are folded to the stored position. The angle of mounting of the sliding supports allows this to occur. The leaves are held in the stored position by a catch which can be magnetic or frictional or other.
