Abstract

A support system for a stowable table is described in which the need for separate hinge mechanisms to accommodate pivotal movement of the table in the principle planes of its movement is obviated by means of a single, spherical hinge arrangement permitting substantially universal movement of the table between its stowed position and various positions of use.
