Table umbrella apparatus

Abstract

A table apparatus has a base, a table affixed to the base, a fan positioned in the base so as to deliver a flow of air outwardly of the base, a motor drivingly connected to the fan, and air plenum formed adjacent to the table, and a plurality of airflow lines extending through the table or along and underside of the table. Each of the plurality of lines has an outlet adjacent a periphery of the table. The outlet of the airflow line is formed at an outer edge surface of the table. A plurality of louvers are adjustably positioned at the outlet so as to direct a flow of air from the outlet.

1 . An apparatus comprising:
 a base;   a table affixed to said base, said table having a top surface with an outer edge surface extending downwardly from said top surface at a periphery of said table;   a fan positioned in said base so as to deliver a flow of air outwardly of said base;   a motor drivingly connected to said fan;   an air plenum formed adjacent to said table; and   a plurality of airflow lines extending through said table or along an underside of said table, each of said plurality of airflow lines having an outlet on said outer edge surface at said periphery of said tablet, each of said plurality of airflow lines comprising:
 a channel formed or affixed to a bottom surface of said table, said channel having one end opening to said air plenum and an opposite end opening at said outlet, said opposite end of said channel widening in width toward said outlet.

         8 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a canopy supported by said base a distance above said table.   
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , said base comprising a housing having an interior volume, said table affixed to a top surface of said housing, said motor and said fan positioned in said housing. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 9 , further comprising:
 a reservoir positioned in said housing, said reservoir suitable for receiving a supply of water therein; and   a pump cooperative with the supply of water in said reservoir, said pump passing a flow of the water across the air delivered by said fan.   
     
     
         11 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 at least one pop-up vent positioned on said top surface of said table, the pop-up vent movable between a first position coplanar with said top surface and a second position extending angularly upwardly from said top surface of said table.   
     
     
         12 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a control panel console removably affixed to said top surface of said table and extending upwardly therefrom, said control panel cooperative with said motor so as to control a flow of air through said plurality of airflow lines.   
     
     
         13 . An apparatus comprising:
 a base;   a table affixed to said base, said table having a top surface with an outer edge surface extending downwardly from said top surface at the periphery of said table;   a fan positioned in said base so as to deliver a flow of air outwardly of said base;   a motor drivingly connected to said fan;   a plurality of airflow lines each having an inlet and an outlet, said inlet being in fluid communication with said fan, said outlet positioned on said outer edge surface of said table, each of said plurality of airflow lines comprising:
 a channel formed at or affixed to a bottom surface of said table, said channel having one end in communication with said fan and an opposite end opening at said outlet, said opposite end of said channel widening in width toward said outlet; and 
   a louver positioned at said outlet of the airflow lines so as to direct the flow of air from said outlet.
