Systems of sliding tables
There are many systems for sliding dining tables-transformers. Their mechanisms can be simple and complex, sometimes the table can have several layout options at once, from the most compact to the most voluminous. Until now, almost all tables are laid out mechanically, although in the elite models, electric drives have recently appeared, which allow you to press just one button and from the side observe how a small table for several people turns into a large one. However, most folding tables use one of the following systems.
The most common is when the table flaps move apart from the center with guides, and an additional detail is placed from below, occupying a place in the center, thus increasing the overall surface of the table.
Another option is a layout by the type of book, When two identical leaflets, fastened with loops, lie on top of each other, forming a table top. At the right time, they are opened, and we get a large countertop, and the support with a special mechanism is fixed in the center.
Another option is associated with the expansion of the frame-support table. It shifts to the side and an additional detail of the countertop is placed on the formed space.
And finally, the last option: the doors are strongly shifted to the sides, for this purpose, additional legs are designed, and in the middle part one or several table parts are placed. This method allows you to maximize the surface of the countertop.
