Weather integrated cane workstation

Abstract

A portable workstation can be folded so as to be readily portable, and has a seat portion and a table portion for holding a book, electronic device, and papers, among other things. The tray portion is adapted for use with electronics equipment, wherein the tray portion provides a support for the electronic device. The workstation has a main leg pivotably connected to a pair of legs. An umbrella can be connected to the workstation in the folded condition of the workstation, and can be opened and adjustably positioned in the unfolded condition of the workstation. In another embodiment, similar in structure to that of the workstation, a seat is provided, but omitting a table portion. A cane handle can be provided at the upper end of the workstation.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A foldable workstation having a seat and table, which has a folded condition and an unfolded condition, and which can serve as a workstation having a seat and table in the unfolded condition, comprising:
 a main leg;   a pair of legs pivotably connected to said main leg;   a foldable seat portion;   a foldable table portion;   a bar connected to said main leg; and   a cane handle supported by said bar;   whereby the workstation has a folded position which renders it portable and easy to stow, and an unfolded condition wherein the workstation includes a seat and table.   
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein said bar is telescopically received in said main leg. 
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 1 , further comprising an umbrella and an adjustable support, wherein the umbrella is supported by the adjustable support so as to be adjustably positionable, and wherein the umbrella is mounted at an upper end of the workstation. 
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 3 , wherein the umbrella has a folded position and an unfolded position, and wherein in the folded position, the umbrella is oriented downwardly and is secured by at least one connector to the main leg. 
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 1 , further comprising a cane handle mounted at an upper end of the workstation. 
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 5 , wherein the cane handle is comprised of a first part and a second part, the first part having a plurality of arms terminating at distal ends, wherein the distal ends respectively bend outwardly; and said first part having a push button having an extended position and a retracted position; and said second part having a ring receiving the distal ends of the plurality of arms such that the distal ends lock the ring in place against relative axial movement between said first part and said second part due to the outward bending of the distal arms; and said second part having a plurality of holes to receive the push button in its extended position to secure said first part and said second part against relative rotation. 
     
     
         7 . A chair, comprising:
 a main leg;   a pair of legs pivotably connected to said main leg;   a foldable seat portion;   a bar connected to said main leg; and   a cane handle connected to said bar;   whereby the chair has a folded position suitable for use as a cane, and an unfolded condition wherein the cane can serve as a portable seat.   
     
     
         8 . The device of  claim 7 , wherein the cane handle is comprised of a first part and a second part, the first part having a plurality of arms terminating at distal ends, wherein the distal ends respectively bend outwardly; and said first part having a push button having an extended position and a retracted position; and said second part having a ring receiving the distal ends of the plurality of arms such that the distal ends lock the ring in place against relative axial movement between said first part and said second part due to the outward bending of the distal arms; and said second part having a plurality of holes to receive the push button in its extended position to secure said first part and said second part against relative rotation. 
     
     
         9 . The device of  claim 7 , further comprising an umbrella mounted on one side of the cane handle, wherein the umbrella has a folded secured condition and a released unfolded condition. 
     
     
         10 . The device of  claim 9 , wherein in the folded secured position, the umbrella is oriented downwardly and is secured by at least one connector to the main leg. 
     
     
         11 . A foldable seat which has a folded condition and an unfolded condition, and which can serve as a cane in the folded condition and can serve as a seat in the unfolded condition, comprising:
 a main leg;   a pair of legs pivotably connected to said main leg;   a foldable seat portion which in the unfolded condition is supported by said main leg and said pair of legs which are pivotably connected to said main leg;   whereby the foldable seat has a folded position suitable for use as a cane, and an unfolded condition wherein the cane can serve as a portable seat.   
     
     
         12 . The device of  claim 11 , further comprising a cane handle mounted at an upper end of the foldable seat. 
     
     
         13 . The device of  claim 12 , wherein said cane handle has an umbrella supporting portion which is rotatable relative to said cane handle and serves as rotatable support which can be rotated into any one of a fixed number of rotational positions to adjust the position of the umbrella. 
     
     
         14 . The device of  claim 13 , wherein in the folded position, the umbrella is oriented downwardly and is secured by at least one connector to the main leg. 
     
     
         15 . The device of  claim 12 , wherein the cane handle is comprised of a first part and a second part, the first part having a plurality of arms terminating at distal ends, wherein the distal ends respectively bend outwardly; and said first part having a push button having an extended position and a retracted position; and said second part having a ring receiving the distal ends of the plurality of arms such that the distal ends lock the ring in place against relative axial movement between said first part and said second part due to the outward bending of the distal arms; and said second part having a plurality of holes to receive the push button in its extended position to secure said first part and said second part against relative rotation.
