A combination bedside and overbed table apparatus includes a base, a column, a table attached to the column, and a lateral support system including a support arm outrigger support for increasing the lateral stability of the apparatus when the table is extended over the side of the base. The table is movable upon the column through a range of vertical and pivotal motion. The table has three basic positions including a bedside position wherein the table overlies the base, an upper range of positions known as "overbed" positions, in which the table is raised, and a reading position, wherein the table is located at a lower elevation than it is in its bedside position to allow ease of placement of the table over a chair or the like to provide a reading table.

The apparatus of claim 9, further comprising: a table rotationally mounted to the base and fixed to the base plate, wherein the rotation of the table to a cantilever position overhanging the first support area induces a corresponding rotation of the outrigger assembly. 11. A method for providing a table over a bed from a side of the bed, the method comprising: (a) providing a base with an extendable table and an extendable support arm; (b) positioning the base at the side of the bed; (c) rotating the table relative to the base and thereby extending the table outward from the base over the bed; and (d) rotating the lateral support arm with the table relative to the base and thereby extending the lateral support arm from the base in a direction of the extension of the table. 12. The method of claim 11, extending the lateral support arm comprising: controlling the amount of extension of the lateral support arm in direct proportion to the amount of extension of the table. 13. A combination bedside and overbed table apparatus, wherein the apparatus is moveably positionable on a floor, comprising: a base including a first end and a second end; a column rotationally mounted to the base at the second end; a table extendably attached to the column, the table being movable by rotation of the column between a bedside position wherein the table is located directly over the first end of the base, and an overbed position wherein the table overhangs the base; a base support structure attached to the first end of the base; a rotational support plate fixably attached to the column and supportatively attached to the base; and a first outrigger support fixably attached to the column such that movement of the table relative to the base generates a related movement of the first outrigger support relative to the base, the first outrigger support adapted to provide lateral support to the base when the table section overhangs the base. 14. The apparatus of claim 13, the base support structure and rotational support plate including casters adapted to roll on the floor. 15. The apparatus of claim 13, further comprising: a column arm extending outward from the column, wherein the table is extendably attached to the column arm, the table being movable by both rotation of the column and extension of the table on the column arm between a bedside position wherein the table is located directly over the first end of the base, and an overbed position wherein the table overhangs the base.
