Abstract

A patio furniture includes a tabletop having a circular center cavity and defining an inner supporting edge encircling with the center cavity and a rotor mounting arrangement including a plurality of supporting rotors evenly and rotatably mounted along the supporting edge of the tabletop and a turn table having a diameter slightly smaller than a diameter of the center cavity of the tabletop, wherein the turn table has a circular peripheral edge arranged in such a manner that when the turn table is disposed at the center cavity of the tabletop, the peripheral edge of the turn table is securely supported on the supporting rotors to substantially support the turn table within the center cavity such that the turn table is adapted to be rotated in a circular manner with respect to the tabletop through the supporting rotors.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A patio furniture, comprising:

       3 . The patio furniture, as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said peripheral edge of said turn table has a L-shaped cross section to form a sliding slot formed therealong of to slidably engage with said supporting rotors such that said supporting rotors are rotatably slid along said sliding slot to allow said turn table to rotate in a circular manner with respect to said tabletop.  
   
   
       4 . The patio furniture, as recited in  claim 2 , wherein said peripheral edge of said turn table has a L-shaped cross section to form a sliding slot formed therealong of to slidably engage with said supporting rotors such that said supporting rotors are rotatably slid along said sliding slot to allow said turn table to rotate in a circular manner with respect to said tabletop.  
   
   
       5 . The patio furniture, as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said rotor mounting arrangement further comprises a retention frame having a ring shape encirclingly mounted along said peripheral edge of said turn table to support said peripheral edge thereof on said supporting rotors, wherein said retention frame has a circular sliding slot formed at a bottom side thereof to slidably engage with said supporting rotors such that said supporting rotors are rotatably slid along said sliding slot to allow said turn table to rotate in a circular manner with respect to said tabletop.  
   
   
       6 . The patio furniture, as recited in  claim 2 , wherein said rotor mounting arrangement further comprises a retention frame having a ring shape encirclingly mounted along said peripheral edge of said turn table to support said peripheral edge thereof on said supporting rotors, wherein said retention frame has a circular sliding slot formed at a bottom side thereof to slidably engage with said supporting rotors such that said supporting rotors are rotatably slid along said sliding slot to allow said turn table to rotate in a circular manner with respect to said tabletop.  
   
   
       7 . The patio furniture, as recited in  claim 1 , wherein each of said supporting rotors comprises a driving wheel and a wheel shaft substantially mounted at said supporting edge of said tabletop to rotatably support said driving wheel such that said driving wheels are radially spaced apart along said supporting edge of said tabletop within said center cavity thereof.  
   
   
       8 . The patio furniture, as recited in  claim 2 , wherein each of said supporting rotors comprises a driving wheel and a wheel shaft substantially mounted at said supporting edge of said tabletop to rotatably support said driving wheel such that said driving wheels are radially spaced apart along said supporting edge of said tabletop within said center cavity thereof.  
   
   
       9 . The patio furniture, as recited in  claim 4 , wherein each of said supporting rotors comprises a driving wheel and a wheel shaft substantially mounted at said supporting edge of said tabletop to rotatably support said driving wheel such that said driving wheels are radially spaced apart along said supporting edge of said tabletop within said center cavity thereof.  
   
   
       10 . The patio furniture, as recited in  claim 6 , wherein each of said supporting rotors comprises a driving wheel and a wheel shaft substantially mounted at said supporting edge of said tabletop to rotatably support said driving wheel such that said driving wheels are radially spaced apart along said supporting edge of said tabletop within said center cavity thereof.  
   
   
       11 . The patio furniture, as recited in  claim 1 , further comprising a supporting frame mounted at said tabletop for retaining an outdoor umbrella in position, wherein said supporting frame has a center through hole formed at a center of said turn table and comprises a supporting ring positioned within said center cavity of said tabletop to coaxially align with said center through hole of said turn table and a plurality of supporting arms radially extended from said supporting ring to said tabletop to support said supporting ring in position for allowing a shaft of said outdoor umbrella to insert into said supporting ring through said center through hole.  
   
   
       12 . The patio furniture, as recited in  claim 4 , further comprising a supporting frame mounted at said tabletop for retaining an outdoor umbrella in position, wherein said supporting frame has a center through hole formed at a center of said turn table and comprises a supporting ring positioned within said center cavity of said tabletop to coaxially align with said center through hole of said turn table and a plurality of supporting arms radially extended from said supporting ring to said tabletop to support said supporting ring in position for allowing a shaft of said outdoor umbrella to insert into said supporting ring through said center through hole.  
   
   
       13 . The patio furniture, as recited in  claim 6 , further comprising a supporting frame mounted at said tabletop for retaining an outdoor umbrella in position, wherein said supporting frame has a center through hole formed at a center of said turn table and comprises a supporting ring positioned within said center cavity of said tabletop to coaxially align with said center through hole of said turn table and a plurality of supporting arms radially extended from said supporting ring to said tabletop to support said supporting ring in position for allowing a shaft of said outdoor umbrella to insert into said supporting ring through said center through hole.  
   
   
       14 .
