  • Patent number: 4140064
    Abstract: This invention, entitled "dual position table top support" permits a table top to be supported in a horizontal working position or in a vertical out-of-the way storing position. The support is such that it is to be installed in an area bounded by three adjacent walls without having to fasten it physically, i.e. by means of screws, nails, rivets, adhesive, to any wall. It is intended for use in locations where a free-standing support or a support physically fastened to a wall is impractical. It is particularly suited for installation over a bathtub to provide a utility table suitable for hobbyists such as amature photographers who use their bathroom as a temporary darkroom.
