Series of peripheral apparatuses for rail type of drafting table

摘要

An apparatus attachable to a drafting table to store drafting equipment for ready access by a person while using the table. The apparatus preferably includes a rail extending above the drafting surface between the front and rear edges of the table; the rail can be moved transversely between the two side edges of the table. A flat base is slidably suspended from the rail for two-way adjustment across the space between the edges of the table. The base supports a storage tray above the table surface; a second instrument tray is swingably attached to the front edge of the base. This last tray can assume an upright position when the drafting table is tilted to selected inclined positions. The tray support system makes the trays steadily available, while permitting the trays to be readily shifted from areas of the table being used for drafting purposes.
