A leaf support for selectively supporting and placing drop leaves of tables and wall mounts in an in use position or a storage position. The leaf support includes a pair of channelshaped arms pivotally connected to one end about an arms pivot axis. The other ends of the arms are adapted for pivotal attachment to a drop leaf or frame to which the drop leaf is connected. A helical spring is located within the channel-shaped arms and connected to the two arms at its ends thereof. A ring and cover member including a U-shaped member having a base portion and two legs attached thereto and a ring connected to the base portion is provided. The two arms near their pivotal connection are received within and between the two legs and the legs are pivotally connected to the arms so as to pivot about the arms pivot axis. The legs are triangularly shaped increasing in size towards the base portion and a substantially flat base portion is provided so as to, along with the triangularly-shaped arms, cover the pinch point or area between the two arms. The ring is connected to the base portion for grasping and pushing and pulling the leaf support arms between the in use and storage positions. |
