Abstract
A tilting and sliding surface for use with a table or other work surface is received within an opening or space defined by the stationary surface of the table or work surface. A combination tilting and sliding mechanism mounts the movable surface to the stationary surface. The tilting and sliding mechanism includes a fixed bracket assembly mounted to the stationary surface, and a movable bracket assembly pivotably interconnected with the fixed bracket assembly and to which the movable surface is mounted. A sliding mechanism is interposed between the movable bracket assembly and the movable surface. A tilt lock mechanism selectively clamps the movable bracket assembly to the fixed bracket assembly in a desired pivoting position according to user requirements. The sliding mechanism includes lateral guide members fitted with bearings, which are received within channel structure defined by a slide member mounted to the underside of the movable surface.
