Abstract

A table, including a tabletop, a rod connected at a first end to a bottom surface of the tabletop, a base having a top surface connected to a second end of the rod, the base including a plurality of rectangular prisms disposed at a bottom surface of the base to individually move towards and away from the base in response to the base being placed on an uneven surface, a rectangular prism locking mechanism to prevent the plurality of rectangular prisms from moving while maintaining the individually moved rectangular prisms in their positions.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A table, comprising:
 a tabletop;   a rod connected at a first end to a bottom surface of the tabletop;   a base having a top surface connected to a second end of the rod, the base comprising:
 a plurality of rectangular prisms disposed at a bottom surface of the base to individually move towards and away from the base in response to the base being placed on an uneven surface; and 
   a rectangular prism locking mechanism to prevent the plurality of rectangular prisms from moving while maintaining the individually moved rectangular prisms in their positions.   
     
     
         2 . The table of  claim 1 , wherein each individual rectangular prism of the plurality of rectangular prisms moves towards and away from the base to correspond to irregularities in the uneven surface. 
     
     
         3 . The table of  claim 1 , wherein the rectangular prism locking mechanism comprises:
 a locking pedal disposed on the top surface of the base to lock the plurality of rectangular prisms in their respective positions when the locking pedal is depressed; and   an unlocking pedal disposed on the top surface of the base to unlock the plurality of rectangular prisms such that the plurality of rectangular prisms are movable when the unlocking pedal is depressed.   
     
     
         4 . The table of  claim 1 , wherein the rectangular prism locking mechanism comprises:
 a locking lever disposed at a side portion of the tabletop to unlock the plurality of rectangular prisms such that the plurality of rectangular prisms are movable when the locking lever is pulled away from the side portion of the tabletop, and to lock the plurality of rectangular prisms in their respective positions when the locking lever is pushed back into the side portion of the tabletop.
