Abstract

Disclosed is a transformable seat-table. The seat-table has at least two operable configurations, the first configuration is a seat and the second configuration is a table. The seat-table includes a support structure that should have at least two horizontal members, one upper horizontal member and one lower horizontal member. The seat-table further includes two boards, the first of which has an adjustment mechanism or a releasable snap. If an adjustment mechanism is used, it is slidingly and rotatably engaged with the upper horizontal member. The two boards are connected by a hinged connecting mechanism. The second board should be at least rotatably connected to the lower horizontal member.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A seat-table transformable between a first configuration and a second configuration the seat-table comprised of 
 a first board having an adjustment mechanism,    a second board,    a connecting mechanism rotatably connecting said first board to said second board; and    a support structure having an upper horizontal member slidingly and rotatably engaged with said adjustment mechanism and a lower horizontal member rotatably engaged with said second board.    
   
   
       2 . A seat-table as recited in  claim 1  wherein said adjustment mechanism is further comprised of a locking mechanism.  
   
   
       3 . A seat-table as recited in  claim 1  wherein said adjustment mechanism is comprised of an adjustment handle.  
   
   
       4 . A seat-table as recited in  claim 3  wherein said adjustment mechanism is further comprised of a locking mechanism releasable by application of force to said adjustment handle.  
   
   
       5 . A seat-table transformable between a first configuration and a second configuration the seat-table comprised of 
 a support structure having at least one horizontal member;    a first board being comprised of an adjustment mechanism having a releasable snap holder and said first board being in communication with said at least one horizontal member through said snap holder;    a second board rotatably connected to said first board by a connecting hinge.    
   
   
       6 . A seat-table as recited in  claim 5  wherein said snap holder is releasable.  
   
   
       7 . A seat-table as recited in  claim 5  wherein said adjustment mechanism is comprised of an adjustment handle.  
   
   
       8 . A seat-table as recited in  claim 7  wherein said adjustment mechanism is further comprised of a locking mechanism releasable by application of force to said adjustment handle.  
   
   
       9 . A seat-table transformable between a first configuration and a second configuration the seat-table comprised of 
 a support structure having an upper support member, a first lower support member and a second lower support member,    a first board being rotatably connected to said upper support member,    a first connecting arm having an upper portion and a lower portion, said first connecting arm attached at its upper portion to a lower portion of said first board and attached at its lower portion to said first lower support member;    a second connecting arm having an upper portion and a lower portion said second connecting arm attached at its upper portion to a lower portion of said first board and attached at its lower portion to said second lower support member.    
   
   
       10 . A seat-table as recited in  claim 9  further comprised of an adjustment mechanism and a support structure having an upper horizontal member slidingly and rotatably engaged with said adjustment mechanism.  
   
   
       11 . A seat-table transformable between a first configuration and a second configuration the seat-table comprised of 
 a support structure having an upper horizontal member and a lower horizontal member;    a first board comprised of an adjustment mechanism, said adjustment mechanism being engaged with said upper horizontal member; and    a second board connected to said first board by a connecting hinge and said second board being rotatingly engaged with said lower horizontal member.    
   
   
       12 . A seat-table as recited in independent  claim 11  wherein said adjustment mechanism is rotatably engaged with said upper horizontal member.  
   
   
       13 . A seat-table as recited in independent  claim 11  wherein said adjustment mechanism is slidingly engaged with said upper horizontal member.  
   
   
       14 . A seat-table as recited in independent  claim 11  wherein said adjustment mechanism is rotatably and slidingly engaged with said upper horizontal member.  
   
   
       15 . A seat-table transformable between a first configuration and a second configuration the seat-table comprised of 
 a support structure having an upper horizontal member, a first side frame attached to a first end of said upper horizontal member, and a second side frame attached to a second end of said upper horizontal member;    a first board in communication with said upper horizontal member, said first board having a retractable protrusion; and    a second board in communication with both of said first side frame and said second side frame, said second board having a recess comprised of a first recess inlet adapted to be engaged with said retractable protrusion when the seat-table is in the first configuration, and said recess being further comprised of a second recess inlet adapted to be engaged with said retractable protrusion when the seat-table is in the second configuration.    
   
   
       16 . A seat-table as recited in  claim 15  further comprised of a biasing means located at a point of communication of said second board with said first side frame, whereby said second board is biased toward a vertical position.
