20


is placed within the housing


10


. When the cover


40


is desired to cover on the casing


20


, the control block


33


on the cover


30


must be moved toward the center so that the hook


331


at the lower side will reduce inwards until the concave hole


332


is substantially buckled by the pin S


1


, and the control block


33


is released. Therefore, in one hand, the cover


30


can be firmly secured to the casing


20


, and by the restoring spring S


3


, the movable handle


32


on the cover


30


is released, it is restored to the original place. The two movable tables


40


and


41


are pivotally connected to the posts


231


of the combining blocks


23


of the casing


20


by the embedding holes


402


,


412


of the combining groove


401


,


411


so that the two movable tables


40


,


41


can be moved up or down as pleasure.




When it is desired to be used, the control block


33


at one side of the cover


30


can be moved to the center so that the hook


331


extending from control block


33


is reduced inwards. Thus, the hook


331


is released from the pin S


1


and thus, the cover


30


can be opened at one side. If it is desired to take up the cover


30


, the control blocks


30


at two sides must be moved to the center at the same time so that the hooks


33


below the control blocks


33


at two sides reduced inwards, and thus release from the pin S


1


so as to take up the cover


30


successfully. If it is desired to expand the movable tables


40


and


41


at two sides, it is only necessary to move the movable plates


403


and


413


at two sides so as to separate from the hole


11


of the housing


10


. Then, the two movable tables


40


and


41


can be opened successfully and the telescopic supporter


45


can be pulled toward the ground with a proper length. Then, the two movable tables


40


and


41


can be steadily supported in the ground, as shown in FIG.

423


. Thus, the present invention can be used in night.




Besides, a furnace T for baking or cooking can be placed in the furnace groove


43


of the movable table


41


at one lateral side of the present invention. If a gas switch


433


below the furnace groove


43


is actuated, then the user may cook or bake on the furnace. Therefore, the movable table


41


of the present invention is not only used to receive articles, but also have the function of cooking and baking. After it is not used, the top lid


50


covers on and flush with the furnace groove


43


. The hooks


52


of the operable blocks


51


at two sides are buckled into the pin S


4


of the combining portion


431


. The using way is similar to the control blocks


33


on the cover


30


, and thus the details will not be further described herein.




The two movable tables


40


and


41


can be moved downwards so that the movable plates


403


and


413


are buckled to the hole


11


. Then, the present invention is restored to receive article. By the telescopic rod


43


to press the button


422


, a rod


423


can be pulled out, as shown in FIG.


9


. With the sliding wheel


12


, push and pull operations can be the performed.

42


on one movable table


40


at one lateral side can be designed to be locked to the lateral side of the movable table


40


by a connecting block


60


, and the connecting block


60


is installed with a storage chamber


61


for receiving articles. Thereby, the casing can be pushed or pulled.




In summary, the present invention has the following advantages:




Other then the movable tables


40


and


41


, in the present invention, a furnace groove


43


can be installed at one movable table


41


so that not only having the function of receiving article, but also the present invention can be used to baking or cooking foods.
