The disclosure relates to table devices and more particularly pertains to a new table device to be used by a child to play with toys.
An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a table that has a platform and a frame. A chair is rotatably coupled to the table and the chair is positioned on the frame. Thus, chair facilitates a user to access an entirety of the platform. A pair of containers is provided and each of the containers is rotatably coupled to the table such that each of the containers is positionable between a deployed position and a stored position. An easel is attached to the table.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the disclosure in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.
The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to
As best illustrated in
A pair of lips 30 is provided and each of the lips 30 is attached to and extends upwardly from the top surface 18 of the platform 14. Thus, each of the lips 30 prevents the objects 28 from falling off of the platform 14. One of the lips 30 is coextensive with the perimeter edge 22 and one of the lips 30 is coextensive with the bounding surface 26. The platform 14 may have a diameter ranging between approximate 30 inches and 40 inches and the opening 24 may have a diameter ranging between approximately 14 inches and 20 inches.
The frame 16 includes a support section 34 and a plurality of legs 36. The support section 34 is attached to the bottom surface 20 of the platform 14 such that the support section 34 surrounds the opening 24. Each of the legs 36 is attached to and extends downwardly from the support section 34. Thus, each of the legs 36 may support the platform 14 above a support surface 38. The support surface 38 may be a floor or the like.
A chair 40 is rotatably coupled to the table 12. The chair 40 is positioned on the frame 32 thereby facilitating a user 42 to access an entirety of the platform 14. The chair 40 includes a support 44 that has a first end 46 and a second end 48. The support 44 is elongated between the first end 46 and the second end 48 and the support 44 has pair of bends 50 thereon. The bends 50 are spaced apart from each other to define a first portion 52 and a second portion 54 each extending upwardly from a central portion 56. The first portion 52 and the second portion 54 may each form a right angle with respect to the central portion 56.
The first portion 52 may have a length ranging between approximately nine inches and twelve inches and the second portion 54 may have a length ranging between approximately five inches and eight inches. The central portion 56 may have a length ranging between twelve inches and fifteen inches. The first end 46 is rotatably attached to the bottom surface 20 of the platform 14. The first end 46 is centrally positioned between the perimeter edge 22 and the bounding surface 26. Thus, the second portion 54 is aligned with a radius of the opening 24.
The chair 40 further includes a seat 58 that has a top surface 60 and a bottom surface 62. The bottom surface 62 is rotatably attached to the second end 48 and the top surface 60 may support the user 42. The user 42 may be a child. The seat 58 is aligned with the opening 24 such that the seat 58 positions the user 42 within the opening 24. The seat 58 is rotatable about an axis extending though the second portion 54 thereby facilitating the user 42 to have 360 degrees of access to the platform 14. The first portion 52 of the support 44 may be rotated to position the seat 58 outwardly from the perimeter edge 22 of the platform 14.
A foot rest 64 is attached to the seat 58. The foot rest 64 has a first member 66 that is attached to and extends downwardly from the bottom surface 20 and the first member 66 angles outwardly from the seat 58. The foot rest 64 has a second member 68 that is oriented transverse to the first member 66. The second member 68 is spaced downwardly from the bottom surface 20 such that the second member 68 may support feet 70 of the user 42.
A pair of containers 72 is provided and each of the containers 72 is rotatably coupled to the table 12 such that each of the containers 72 is positionable between a deployed position and a stored position. Each of the containers 72 comprises a hinge 74 that is rotatably attached to the bottom surface 20 of the platform 14. The hinge 74 is positioned proximate the perimeter edge 22 of the platform 14.
A bag 76 is attached to the hinge 74 and the bag 76 may be used to store the objects 28. The bag 76 is spaced outwardly from the perimeter edge 22 when an associated one of the containers 72 is positioned in the deployed position. Thus, the objects 28 may be removed from the bag 76. The bag 76 is positioned beneath the bottom surface 20 when the associated container 72 is positioned in the stored position.
An easel 78 is attached to the table 12 and the easel 78 comprises a support 80 and a panel 81. The support 80 has a first end 82 and the first end 82 of the support 80 is attached to the bottom surface 20 of the platform 14. The support 80 extends upwardly along the perimeter edge 22 of the platform 14. The panel 81 is attached to the support 80 such that the panel 81 is spaced from the top surface 18 of the platform 14. The panel 81 has a top edge 84 and a light emitter 86 is attached to the top edge 84. A sleeve 88 may be attached to the bottom surface 20 of the platform 14. The sleeve 88 may be positioned adjacent to the perimeter edge 22 and the sleeve 88 may insertable receive the first end 82 of the support 80.
A cup holder 90 is provided and the cup holder 90 includes a ring 92 and a support 94. The cup holder 90 is attached to the bottom surface 20 of the platform 14 such that the ring 92 is spaced from the perimeter edge 22 of the platform 14. The support 94 is positioned beneath the ring 92. A cup or the like may be positioned within the ring 92 such that the cup is supported on the support 94.
In use, the user 72 sits on the chair 40. The objects 28 are positioned in the top surface 18 of the platform 14 and the user 42 spins in the chair 40 to access all areas of the platform 14. The easel 78 is used for art projects or the like. The objects 28 are stored within the pair of containers 72.
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
