Description:
    We have derived accurate and homogeneous lithium abundances in 49 Main
    Sequence  binary systems belonging to the Hyades open cluster by using
    a  deconvolution method to determine  individual magnitudes and colors
    for  the primary  and secondary  components of  the binary.  The input
    parameters  of the  model are  the observed  Li equivalent  width, the
    actual distance  to the binary, the  integrated apparent magnitude and
    the integrated colors  of the  binaries -BV(RI)_K_.  We show  that the
    general  behavior is the same  in binaries and in  single stars (Li is
    depleted faster in K stars than in G stars and there is a deep dip for
    mid-F  stars). However, there is a larger scatter in the abundances of
    binary systems than in single  stars.  Moreover,  in  general,  binary
    systems have an overabundance, which  is  more  conspicuous  in  close
    binaries. In  fact, there is a cut-off  period, which can be estimated
    as  P_orb_~9d.   This  value  is  in   excellent  agreement  with  the
    theoretical prediction of Zahn (1994).

Note on table1: The photometry is essentially from Johnson & Knuckles 
    (=1955ApJ...122..209J) and  the distances from  Stern (1994). Spectral
    types for the primary and  secondary  components  were  assigned  from
    (B-V) color indices by using the Schmidt-Kaler's (1982) ZAMS.

Note (2): Individual notes:
  1 ADS 2451. The photometry include the visual companion. 
    Mason et al. (1993) estimated {DELTA}V=6.0mag.
  2 Distance and spectral types from Strassmeier et al 1993. 
    (B-V)_p_ was assigned according the spectral type.

  5 (B-V)_p_ measured directly during the eclipse (Schiller & Milone 1987).
  6 {DELTA}V=0.35mag from Batten & Wallerstein (1973). It could have an
     additional component.

     between spectral lines.
