PCT No. PCT/US97/01215 Sec. 371 Date Jan. 15, 1999 Sec. 102(e) Date Jan. 15, 1999 PCT Filed Jan. 28, 1997 PCT Pub. No. WO97/32503 PCT Pub. Date Sep. 12, 1997In order to enable a decorative panel of a table, such as that used in fast food restaurants bars etc., to be readily interchanged in accordance with changes in season or game popularity etc., one of the moldings provided about the edge of the table is arranged to be disconnectable from the remainder of the table to expose a side edge of the decorative panel. In some embodiments, the panel is slidably received in grooves which are formed in moldings while in other embodiments the panel is adhered to the surface of the table top using dual-sided tape. When the panel is retained by way of grooves, the removal of the disconnectable molding permits the panel to be slid out and replaced. On the other hand, when the panel is secured to the table top using the dual-sided tape, removal of the removable molding exposes an edge of the panel in a manner which facilitates the application of the necessary lever action to overcome the bonding force of the tape and lift the panel up off the table in readiness for replacement with another. If desired, special lock pins which require special tools for manipulation can be used in conjunction with the panels to prevent unauthorized interchange. |
