Try spring-loading a pantry-style pullout slide or pocket door slides. Hinge the leaf to that and float the other leaf (piano-hinged to the
1st one)P.S: Watch the kids shred it the first time they see it opened. (Hey, will this thing squish my sister's doll if I put it between the leaves? How fast can we make it go down into the table? How much weight will this thing handle?) :(

Thanks for the idea, after blowing more than a couple of unproductive hours searching around the internet, I did what I should have done from the beginning.
I called Rockler, Woodcraft, and Lee Valley, the two guys at the former stores couldn't remember ever having seen such a thing. Sue at Lee Valley knew right away what I was talking about. Here are links to their hardware for such a table.
For legs or two pedestals

Paul, Tables and Chairs (The Best of Fine Woodworking), contains an article about a "butterfly" extension table, which is what you've linked to. We bought one years ago at oak express, and it works very well. Good luck, Kevin
