  • Patent number: 4679509
    Abstract: A table designed for ease of use by the occupant of a wheel chair having a shaped, cut-back, front edge to allow the torso of the user to extend partially into the working surface, enabling the user to have ease of access to the entire working surface. A peripheral lip or ridge about the back and side edges of the table prevents articles from falling off and out of reach of the user, and the height and table top size are dimensional for use by a wheelchair occupant. The table has casters mounted on its rear leg portions but not on its front leg portions. The table is easily moved by the user who simply tilts the table to lift its front leg portions off of the ground, tilting the table onto the casters mounted on its rear legs, and then rolls the table with him. When the table is tilted for movement the peripheral ridge acts to keep articles on the table. When the table is at a desired location, its front legs are lowered back down into hold contact with the floor.
