Abstract
A frame supports a fixed seat portion, and a common portion is pivoted on the frame for movement between a seat back position and a table top position. A locking device for retaining the common portion in the table top position has a manually operated end with an outer surface which is flush with the adjacent surface of a support when the device is in locked position to visibly indicate that the assembly is locked in position to serve as a table. When the locking device is unlocked, the outer surface of the manually operated end is spaced from the adjacent surface. The locking device includes wedging members adapted to be wedged between a support fixed to the common portion and the upper end of a frame member. When the locking device is in locked position, resilient arms bias projections thereon into a recess in the upper of the frame member to retain the device in position to serve as a table. A further positive lock is provided by inserting a rigid member through aligned holes in the support and an aligned notch in the locking device.
