are a couple of US patents 5,237,937 and 6,009,814 that cover tables of this kind. The original UK patent was 6788, however the UK patent office in its infinite wisom only has patents online back to

Note that an original Jupe table in lousy condition is reputed to be worth in excess of a quarter of a million dollars.
Pretyy cool. But sooner or later somebody's gonna lose a finger or two.
