Abstract:
1. A table with an adjustable height, comprising: a first hollow cylindrical element having a first diameter; a second cylindrical element located within, and concentric with, the first cylindrical element, wherein the second cylindrical element includes a second diameter smaller than the first diameter such that the second cylindrical element may move within the first cylindrical element, and wherein the second cylindrical element has a top end and a bottom end; a tabletop coupled to a top of the second cylindrical element, wherein the tabletop extends laterally to a right side a first distance and extends laterally to a left side a second distance, wherein the first and second distances are not equal; a first curve-shaped slit located in the surface of the second cylindrical element, wherein the first carve-shaped slit travels from substantially the top end of the second cylindrical element towards the bottom end of the second cylindrical element, and wherein the first curved shaped slit travels at least 180 degrees around a circumference of the second cylindrical element; a first orifice located in the surface of the first cylindrical element, wherein the location of the first orifice aligns with a location of the first curve-shaped slit; and a first fastener that extends through the first orifice and the first curve-shaped slit, thereby fastening the first, cylindrical element with the second cylindrical element; wherein when the second cylindrical element is not extended, the first fastener extends through the first orifice and a top of the first curve-shaped slit, and wherein when the second cylindrical element is extended, the tabletop is rotated at least 180 degrees so that the first fastener extends through the first orifice and a bottom of the first curve-shaped slit such that the tabletop extends laterally to the right side a second distance and extends laterally to the left side a first distance.
