Table with embedded lazy susan

Abstract

A table that includes a base portion, a compartment portion, a top portion, and a lazy susan embedded in the top portion. The compartment portion is coupled to the base portion. The top portion is coupled to the compartment portion. The lazy susan is embedded in the top portion. The lazy susan is configurable to be in a first position and a second position. The lazy susan is in a retracted position when in the first position. The lazy susan is in operational position when in the second position.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A table comprising:
 a base portion;   a compartment portion coupled to the base portion;   a top portion coupled to the compartment portion, and   a lazy susan embedded in the top portion, the lazy susan is configurable to be in a first position and a second position, the lazy susan being in a retracted position when in the first position, the lazy susan being in operational position when in the second position.   
     
     
         2 . The table of  claim 1 , wherein the compartment portion is configured to store the lazy susan, wherein the lazy susan is in a retracted portion. 
     
     
         3 . The table of  claim 1  further comprises a bearing device coupled to the lazy susan, wherein the bearing device is configured to allow the lazy susan to rotate. 
     
     
         4 . The table of  claim 1  further comprising a lifting device coupled to the table. 
     
     
         5 . The table of  claim 4 , wherein the lifting device is coupled to the lazy susan, and configured to move the lazy susan in a first direction and a second direction. 
     
     
         6 . The table of  claim 4 , further comprising a controller for controlling the lifting device. 
     
     
         7 . The table of  claim 6 , wherein the controller controls the lazy susan by controlling the lifting device. 
     
     
         8 . The table of  claim 4 , wherein the piston is a container that includes a gas and a spring. 
     
     
         9 . The table of  claim 4 , wherein the lifting device comprises:
 a piston;   a rod coupled to the piston; and   a lever coupled to the rod.   
     
     
         10 . The table of  claim 9 , wherein the lifting device further includes a cable and a pulley. 
     
     
         11 . The table of  claim 1  further comprises:
 a bearing device coupled to the lazy susan, wherein the bearing device is configured to allow the lazy susan to rotate; and 
 a lifting device coupled to the base portion and the bearing device. 
 
     
     
         12 . The table of  claim 1 , wherein the lazy susan includes a storage compartment. 
     
     
         13 . The table of  claim 1 , wherein the lazy susan includes a locking mechanism. 
     
     
         14 . The table of  claim 13 , wherein the locking mechanism is configured to prevent the lazy susan from rotating when the lazy susan is positioned in the retracted position. 
     
     
         15 . The table of  claim 13 , wherein the locking mechanism is configured to allow the lazy susan to rotate when the lazy susan is in an operational position. 
     
     
         16 . The table of  claim 13 , wherein the locking mechanism includes a slot. 
     
     
         17 . The table of  claim 13 , wherein the locking mechanism includes a notch.
