Abstract
A convertible table extendible from a low to a high position comprising a rectangular deck having cut-outs in its four corners, a frame surrounding the deck, folding leaves pivoted to the deck and constructed to fit within the frame when they are folded, four arms attached at their respective ends to a combination mounting bracket hinge and to one of four respective legs, and a mechanical linkage for raising and lowering the table by moving the top of the legs diagonally along rods mounted beneath the deck. When the table is in the high position, extensions fixed to the arms pass through the cut-outs in the four corners of the deck and raise the leaves up relative to the frame. The leaves can then be rotated and unfolded to form a full sized top.
