Abstract: A table has a table top the height of which can be adjusted between an elevated position and a lower position so that the table can be used, for example, both as a billiards table and as a domestic dining table.Adjustment of the height of the table top is effected with a mechanism, incorporating a support member which can be moved from a retracted position into an extended position at which it acts to support the elevated table top on a support structure. This movement of the support member is effected on lifting of the table top by engagement of a cam follower with a cam surface. Lifting of the table top beyond the elevated position may act to return the support member to its retracted position via engagement of a further cam follower with a further cam surface.

Abstract: A rack for an elongated implement, particularly a billiards cue has a lower base member and an upper side support. The bottom end of the implement can rest on the base member while the implement is supported at the side thereof by the side support. The base member provides a low friction support surface and the implement can be moved into and out of engagement with the side support while its bottom end remains in moving engagement with the low friction support surface.
