Claim:
A table having a substantially planar surface with an aperture formed therein, the table comprising: a collapsible umbrella including a pole coupled to a plurality of ribs supporting a canopy and a plurality of arms coupled to the ribs, wherein a first end of each of the ribs is pivotally coupled to the pole by a first hinge to facilitate a downward folding of the umbrella into a collapsed position, and each of the ribs is hinged intermediate the first end and a second end thereof by a second hinge to facilitate an upward folding of at least a portion of the umbrella, and wherein a first end of each of the arms is pivotally coupled to a corresponding one of the ribs by the second hinge and a second end of each of the arms is pivotally coupled to a bushing slidably received on the pole to facilitate an upward folding of the arms when the umbrella is positioned into the collapsed position; and a hollow main body adapted to receive the entire umbrella when the umbrella is in the collapsed position, the hollow main body disposed in the aperture formed in the table, wherein a portion of the hollow main body is disposed above the substantially planer surface, and wherein the pole is coupled to a plunger adapted to be received by the hollow main body, the plunger having an outer diameter substantially conforming to an interior shape of the hollow main body to militate against relative lateral movement therebetween.
