Patent ID: 7971930

Claim:
An apparatus comprising: a table top including an outer perimeter; a first elongated bench including a first end, a second end, an inner portion and an outer portion, the first bench being movable between a first position and a second position relative to the table top, the first position including the first end, the inner portion and the second end of the bench being disposed proximate the outer perimeter of the table top so that a person can use the bench, the second position including at least a portion of the inner portion and the second end of the bench being disposed away from the outer perimeter of the table top; a first generally U-shaped support structure connecting the table top and the first elongated bench, the first generally U-shaped support structure being sized and configured to support at least a portion of the table top and at least a portion of the first bench, the first generally U-shaped support structure being sized and configured to allow the first bench to pivot between the first position and the second position relative to the table top, the first generally U-shaped support structure comprising: a first table support leg connected to the table top; a first bench support leg connected to the first end of the first bench; and a connecting member connecting the first table support leg and the first bench support leg, the connecting member having a constant length that spaces the first table support leg and the first bench support leg apart by a constant distance; a second bench support leg connected to the second end of the first bench, the second bench support leg being spaced apart from the first bench support leg by a distance, the first bench support leg and the second bench support leg being sized and configured to support the first bench above a surface, the second end of the first bench being freely movable relative to the table top; and a frame connected to the table top, the frame including a plurality of elongated supports with generally the same shape and configuration, each of the elongated supports including a first end, a second end and a connecting point disposed at least proximate a midpoint between the first end and the second end, a first end of each of the elongated supports connected to the connecting point of an adjacent elongated support to interconnect the plurality of elongated supports and form a generally polygon-shaped structure, the second end of each of the elongated supports extending beyond the perimeter of the generally polygon-shaped structure and being disposed towards an outer periphery of the table top.
