Commentaire sur Kéilim 24:6
שָׁלֹשׁ בְּסָסִיּוֹת הֵן. שֶׁלִּפְנֵי הַמִּטָּה וְשֶׁלִּפְנֵי סוֹפְרִים, טְמֵאָה מִדְרָס. וְשֶׁל דְּלֻפְקִי, טְמֵאָה טְמֵא מֵת. וְשֶׁל מִגְדָּל, טְהוֹרָה מִכְּלוּם:
Il existe trois types de bases [c'est-à-dire de petites tables]: celle qui est [utilisée comme repose-pieds] devant un lit ou devant les érudits est sensible à l' impureté des midras ; ce qui est d'une table de service [c'est-à-dire niché en dessous, pour faire sortir les aliments] est sensible aux impuretés du cadavre; et ce qui est [utilisé comme base] d'une tour [c'est-à-dire une grande armoire ressemblant à une tour] est pur de tous [types d'impuretés].

ושל דלפקי (delphica – a three-legged table used as a waiter or toilet table) – a wooden vessel that one places upon it flasks/bottles with a wide belly and a narrow neck and jugs and food and drinks, and from it, we take and place on the table. But the base that is in front of it is not for sitting, but it has the status of a vessel.

English Explanation of Mishnah Kelim
One for a side-table is susceptible to corpse uncleanness; The base next to a side-table is sometimes stood upon by a servant, therefore it is considered a vessel. But it is not sat upon therefore it is not susceptible to midras.
