Abstract

An extensible table comprises a rigid panel defining the working plane of the table in a condition of minimum extension thereof and at least one structure for extending the panel including a frame connected to the panels so as to be slidable in a direction parallel to the plane of the panel and movable between an extreme retracted position within the panel and an extreme extended position in which the frame projects from one side of the panel. The table further includes a flexible covering sheet fixed to the panel and having a part projecting from the panel and extending in the direction of sliding of the frame, and guides for the flexible sheet carried by the frame and engaged by the flexible sheet so that the latter has a first pass arranged to constitute an elongation of the working plane and a second pass guided beneath the first pass; the lengths of the first and second passes being a minimum and a maximum respectively in the completely retracted position of the frame and a maximum and a minimum respectively in the completely extended position of the frame.
