An inner surface of the top portion can include a cutting blade for cutting pills placed on the cutting bed. The cutting blade is positioned such that when the top portion is lowered over the lower portion, the cutting edge of the cutting blade cuts through the multiple pills placed on the cutting bed between the pill retainers.

Abstract: An adjustable table has a base, a telescopic tube assembly, two outside tabletop components and two inside tabletop components. The base has at least one leg and a mounting bracket. The telescopic tube assembly has a shaft, a central tube and two sliding tubes. The shaft is located over the mounting bracket. The central tube is mounted securely around the shaft. The sliding tubes are mounted slidably around the shaft. The outside tabletop components are mounted slidably on the mounting bracket and are slidably mounted respectively on the sliding tubes. The inside tabletop components are foldable and each has a first board mounted pivotally and slidably on one sliding tube and a second board connected pivotally to the first board. Each inside tabletop component independently folds and flips underneath the outside tabletop components abut each other or abut one of the inside tabletop components to shorten a total tabletop length.

One top member is attached to one side of its frame member and the top members are stacked when the table is unextended. The legs are carried by each frame member and are located at a frame joint. The slide connects the frame members and includes a plurality of interlocking and movable members. The corner bracket and corner hinge are located at a frame joint and the corner hinge foldably connects the leg to the frame and bracket. The invention is also considered a corner bracket for use in an extension table having foldable legs and a frame with the corner bracket mountable at each frame joint and a method of making an extendable folding table.

Abstract: A drop-leaf table has a sliding device comprising a primary rail, an inner rail, and an outer rail, which are all provided with the fitting slots, and the fitting protrusions. The primary rail has a connection plate which is provided with a rotary gear. The inner rail and the outer rail are provide with a connection plate having a row of toothed holes. The inner rail and the outer rail are slidably engaged with the primary rail such that the gear of the primary rail moves along the row of toothed holes. When one table leaf is pulled, the outer rail is pulled out along the primary rail such that the gear of the primary rail is actuated by the toothed holes to turn. The inner rail is then actuated by the gear in motion to slide in opposite direction, thereby causing two table leaves to slide in opposite directions at the same time.

Abstract: A dining table consists of a locating frame which is supported by a frame support and is provided with a sliding mechanism mounted thereon to permit opening and closing of a first table top. A second table top is held between two fastening supports of the locating frame on the frame support. The sliding mechanism comprises two slide rail members. Each slide rail member has two slide plates and a frame strip. Each slide plate has four slide wheels and a traction unit fastened on the slide plate. Each slide plate of the two slide plates are slidably engaged on each of the two frame strips of the sliding mechanism. The second table top can be activated to extract or retract in an opening between the first table top after it has been opened on the sliding mechanism.

Abstract: A pull-out table having two leaf sections. Each leaf section can be displaced in parallel along in each case one curved control path in such a manner relative to a stationary pull-out axis which both leaf sections have in common that the separating edge of each leaf section is aligned along the whole movement path always at a right angle to the common stationary pull-out axis.

Abstract: A table has first and second extendable bar structures positioned parallel to each other. A first table end segment is secured to the first outer ends of the extendable bar structures, and a second table end segment is secured to the second outer ends of the extendable bar structures. First and second crossing bars are connected to and extend between the first and second extendable bar structures. A rod is connected between the first and second crossing bars, and a plurality of removable table segments are positioned between the first and second table end segments. Each removable table segment is rotatably coupled to the rod to facilitate storage of each removable table segment under the first and second table end segments.

Abstract: A slide rail is intended for use in an extensible table and is composed of a sliding seat and two sliding supports. The sliding seat is provided with two guide rails, two guide slots, and a gear. The sliding supports are provided respectively with a plurality of sliding wheels and a rack. The sliding supports are joined with the sliding seat such that the racks of the sliding supports are engaged with the gear of the sliding seat, and that the sliding wheels are capable of sliding along the guide rails. The stationary leaves of the extensible table are slidably fastened with the slide rails and are therefore capable of sliding in opposite directions to accommodate an extension leaf.

Abstract: A variable-length table has a tabletop assembly which includes two leg mounting boards, two guide beams that interconnect the leg mounting boards, two connecting beam sets, two fixed tabletop units and a removable tabletop unit. Each connecting beam set includes two connecting beams disposed respectively on two sides of a corresponding one of the guide beams and mounted slidably thereto. Each fixed tabletop unit is mounted on a respective one of the connecting beams of each of the connecting beam sets. The removable tabletop unit includes a board member that is to be disposed removably between the fixed tabletop units when the fixed tabletop units are pulled apart so as to obtain a longer table length, and an opposite pair of flanges that are mounted foldably on the board member thereof and that cooperate with flanges of the fixed tabletop units so as to conceal the guide beams and the connecting beam sets when the longer table length is obtained.

Abstract: A table comprising two semi-elliptical plates, table legs, two posts, and an engaging plate formed of a first plate and a second plate hinged together. Several protrusions are disposed at either side of the engaging plate and a side plate is arranged on each of the two posts. At both ends of the side plates are connected with two rails. Thus, a rotating space is formed between the side plates and rails such that the engaging plate can either be positioned between two semi-elliptical plates to form a larger table or it can be concealed within the rotating space to form a smaller table.

Abstract: An improved table is disclosed which permits easy access to additional useable horizontal surface and which permits easy raising and lowering. The table, which in its preferred embodiment, is a hospital overbed table, is equipped with upper and lower horizontal tray surfaces. The surfaces are movable with respect to each other and may be positioned to expose the top surface alone or the upper and lower surfaces. The upper and lower surfaces may also be moved in unison to expose storage cavities in a base supporting the tray surfaces. A gas spring mechanism permits easy adjustment of the vertical positioning of the overbed table and provides a mechanism for securely locking the overbed table in place when in use.

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).
