Patent ID: 7980627

Claim:
An apparatus, comprising: a table including a first table frame member, a second table frame member, a table support leg and a table top coupled to the first table frame member and the second table frame member; and a bench including a first bench support member, a second bench support member, and a bench seat coupled to the first bench support member and the second bench support member, the bench including a coupling member configured to couple the bench to the table support leg, the table and the bench collectively having a first configuration and a second configuration, the coupling member configured to slide along the table support leg of the table when the table and the bench are moved between the first configuration and the second configuration, an end portion of the second table frame member spaced apart from an end portion of the first table frame member by a first distance when the table and the bench are in the first configuration, the end portion of the second table frame member spaced apart from the end portion of the first table frame member by a second distance when the table and the bench are in the second configuration, the second distance less than the first distance, the first table frame member and the second table frame member collectively define a plane substantially parallel to the table top when the table and the bench are in the first configuration, the end portion of the first table frame member including a pivot coupling, an end portion of the table support leg coupled to the end portion of the first table frame member such that the first table frame member rotates relative to the table support leg about the pivot coupling when the table and the bench are collectively moved between the first configuration and the second configuration, an end portion of the second bench support member spaced apart from an end portion of the first bench support member by a third distance when the table and the bench are in the first configuration, the end portion of the second bench support member spaced apart from the end portion of the first bench support member by a fourth distance when the table and the bench are in the second configuration, the fourth distance less than the third distance.
