Abstract: A furniture element forming a table (1) including a base box (2) and several coplanar main plates mobile in circular translation in a common plane. A mechanism (4) enables synchronized displacement in the common plane, wherein the plates (3) can assume at least two relative configurations, one in which they combine to form a full plate, the other in which the plates jointly define a central space 51. A mobile central plate (5) can be displaced according to an axis perpendicular to the plane defined by the main plates (3), to move from a low position in which the central plate (5) is retracted by the main plates (3) to a high position in which it is placed in the plane of the main plates (3) at the level of the central space (51), forming a full plate with the main plates (3).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a furniture element forming a table (1) comprising a base box (2) and several coplanar main plates mobile in circular translation in their common plane, a mechanism (4) enabling their synchronised displacement in their common plane, said plates (3) which can assume at least two relative configurations, one in which they combine to form a full plate, the other in which the plate which they jointly define comprises a central space 51, comprising a mobile central plate (5) which can be displaced according to an axis perpendicular to the plane defined by the main plates (3), to move from a low position in which said central plate (5) is retracted by the main plates (3) to a high position in which it is placed in the plane of said main plates (3) at the level of the central space (51), forming a full plate with the main plates (3).

Abstract: The extensible table includes: a main surface (5) supported by a support base (3A, 3B; 3); a first auxiliary surface (19) and a second auxiliary surface (21), arranged underneath the main surface (5) when the table is retracted in a condition of minimum extension and coplanar and side by side to the main surface when the table is extended in the condition of maximum extension; a table extension mechanism. The extension mechanism includes two movable supports (15, 17) arranged side by side, each carrying a respective auxiliary surface (19, 21). The movable supports are supported and guided on the support base of the table for symmetrically and synchronously moving close and away the two auxiliary surfaces one with respect to the other during table extension and retraction movement. Each of the movable supports (15, 17) includes a lifting and lowering member (23A, 23B; 27A, 27B) of the respective auxiliary surface during the table extension and retraction movement.

Abstract: An expandable table that has a frame, at least one leg supporting the frame, first and second top portions movably connected or interconnected to the frame, an intermediate top portion movably connected or interconnected to the frame, and a movement mechanism connected or interconnected to the frame. The movement mechanism is configured to cause the first and second top portions to move along a longitudinal axis of the frame. The movement mechanism is also configured to cause the intermediate top portion to move normal to said longitudinal axis of a plane of movement of said first and second top portions.

Abstract: A shelving system includes a primary panel having a top side, a bottom side, a back edge, a front edge, a first lateral edge and a second lateral edge. The bottom side includes a plurality of guides. Each of a pair of secondary panels has an upper surface and a lower surface. A plurality of engaging members is attached to the upper surfaces of the secondary panels. The guides receive the engaging members and slidably couple the secondary panels to the primary panel. The secondary panels each have an inner edge and an outer edge. The outer edges are aligned with a respective one of the first or second lateral edges to define a stored position. The outer edges are extended outwardly from the primary panel to define an extended position. Each of the secondary panels has one of a pair of supports attached thereto.

Abstract: An extendable table has a pair of main top panels (14, 16) and a pair of extension top panels (18, 20) that are stowable under the main panels. The main panels are secured to sliding frames (32) which are slidably movable relative to a fixed table frame (10). Each extension panel is seated on one sliding frame. As the main panel (14, 16) is pulled outwardly, the associated extension panel (18, 20) is automatically lifted up into the gap opened above the table frame (10), by interaction of guide means (42, 52) on the undersurface of the extension panel with the sliding frame (32) and the fixed frame (22).

Abstract: A table (20) comprises a pair of side leaves (22,23) movable with respect to each other to abut each other for forming a small tabletop (27), a center leaf (24) selectively interposable between the pair of side leaves (22,23) for forming a large tabletop (37), and a moving mechanism (25) for selectively automatically configuring the leaves (22,23,24) into a small or a large tabletop (27,37). The moving mechanism (25) includes an apparatus (40) for sliding the side leaves (22,23) toward and away from each other, a cam apparatus (41) for raising and lowering the center leaf (24) and for storing the center leaf (24) below the side leaves (22,23) and for retrieving the center leaf (24) from storage, and a driving apparatus (88) for moving the slide apparatus (40) and the cam apparatus (41).
