Abstract:
1. A multipurpose vehicle furniture system for use proximate to a driver's seat in a vehicle, the vehicle having a floor, the multipurpose furniture system comprising: a first post including a first post first end, a first post body, and a first post second end sized and configured to be mountable to the floor, the first post body disposed between the first post first end and the first post second end; a primary support defining a primary support longitudinal axis and a primary support lateral axis disposed perpendicular to the primary support longitudinal axis, the primary support having a primary support top surface and an opposing primary support bottom surface, a primary support first longitudinal side, a primary support second longitudinal side opposing the primary support first longitudinal side, a primary support first lateral side, and a primary support second lateral side opposing the primary support first lateral side, the primary support first lateral side and the primary support second lateral side disposed generally between the primary support first longitudinal side and the primary support second longitudinal side, each of the primary support first longitudinal side, the primary support second longitudinal side, the primary support first lateral side, and the primary support second lateral side disposed between the primary support top surface and the primary support bottom surface, the primary support first longitudinal side being rotatably and slidably engaged to the first post, the primary support being disposable in a first position proximate to the first post first end with the primary support top surface facing away from the floor, the primary support being disposable in a second position proximate to the first post second end with the primary support bottom surface facing away from the floor, the primary support being disposable in a third position proximate to the first post body with the primary support bottom surface orthogonal to the floor or at an angle greater than 0 degrees to the floor, and the primary support being disposable in a fourth position proximate to the first post first end with the primary support top surface orthogonal to the floor or facing away from the floor at an angle greater than 0 degrees but less than 90 degrees to the floor; a primary support rod disposable proximate to the primary support and engageable with the first post, the primary support being axially rotatable about the primary support rod; and a second support mountable to the floor, the second support defining a second support longitudinal axis and a second support lateral axis disposed perpendicular to the second support longitudinal axis, the second support having a second support top surface and an opposing second support bottom surface, a second support first longitudinal side, a second support second longitudinal side opposing the second support first longitudinal side, a second support first lateral side, and a second support second lateral side opposing the second support first lateral side, the second support first lateral side and the second support second lateral side disposed generally between the second support first longitudinal side and the second support second longitudinal side, each of the second support first longitudinal side, the second support second longitudinal side, the second support first lateral side, and the second support second lateral side disposed between the second support top surface and the second support bottom surface, the second support second longitudinal side being generally coplanar and adjacent to the primary support second longitudinal side with the primary support in the second position, the second support being adjacent to the primary support with the primary support in the third position.
