Articulated modular table
First Claim
1. An articulating table comprising a stationary support structure for joining and independently pivoting two co-planar surfaces of adjacent tables wherein said tables share a common pivot point located at the inside corners of said tables on one end thereof with inside corner geometry further described as the intersection of bounding axes of adjacent sides of said tables and mounted on the other end of each undersurface of said tables a support leg having a pivoting wheel mounted there-under enabling said tables to rotate on a surface around said structure wherein said tables can be easily configured in a variety of alternative positions including a plurality of contiguous co-planar surface arrangements.

Abstract
A pivoting structure for joining and supporting two co-planar surfaces (52) that pivot independently around a fixed point between the tables at one end on a pivot assembly (35). The co-planar surfaces are supported at the opposite end by a support leg (54) that provides rotation quickly and easily by one person by means of a pivoting wheel (62). An array of positions can be fixed by means of a wheel brake lever (60). The pivot assembly is supported with a pivot support (28) and a base (22). The pivoting structure'"'"'s geometry is such that multiple similar structures can be configured modularly to provide an even greater variety of practical positions.
