Patent ID: 8291832

Claim:
An adjustable portable table assembly, comprising: a horizontal assembly comprising: a first tubular member; a second member having a first end and a second end, wherein part of the second member is slidingly and rotatably disposed within the first tubular member; and a first fixturing means capable of releaseably attaching the second member to the first tubular member; wherein an overall length of the horizontal assembly can be adjusted by increasing or decreasing a length of the second member inserted into the first tubular member; a tubular vertical assembly having a diameter, wherein the tubular vertical assembly comprises a first open end and a second open end, wherein the second end of the second member is attached to the vertical assembly adjacent to the first open end; a table comprising a top surface and a bottom surface, wherein the table is formed to include an aperture having the diameter extending therethrough, wherein the table can be releaseably attached to the vertical assembly at the second open end such that the aperture is aligned with the second open end; and a shield assembly comprising a handle, wherein the shield assembly can be releaseably attached to the table; wherein: rotating the second member within the first tubular member also causes rotation of the vertical assembly with respect to the horizontal assembly; and the top surface of the table can be placed in a gravitationally level orientation by rotating the second member within the first tubular member until objects placed on the top surface of the table will not slide or roll off the table.
