Bench

Abstract

A bench comprises a base with a seat section pivotally connected to the base. A locking assembly is secured to the base to selectively lock the seat section in a closed position relative to the base. A first compartment within the base has a top opening that is accessed when the seat section is in an open position, and a second compartment allows a fill material to put a weight on the bench.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A bench, comprising:
 a base;   a seat section pivotally connected to the base;   a locking assembly secured to the base to selectively lock the seat section in a closed position relative to the base;   a first compartment within the base that has a top opening that is accessed when the seat section is in an open position; and   a second compartment to allow a fill material to put a weight on the bench.   
     
     
         2 . The bench of  claim 1 , wherein at least the first compartment or second compartment is located at or below a height of the base. 
     
     
         3 . The bench of  claim 1 , wherein the at least the first compartment or second compartment is defined by a cavity that spans at least a majority of a length of the base. 
     
     
         4 . The bench of  claim 1 , wherein the locking assembly includes a manual entry code. 
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the locking assembly includes a combination code. 
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the opening is located on an anterior side of the bench. 
     
     
         7 . The device of  claim 1 , further comprising a closure element that removably closes the opening. 
     
     
         8 . The device of  claim 1 , further comprising an arm rest on either end of the base. 
     
     
         9 . The device of  claim 1 , further comprising a back rest that extends vertically upward from a back end of the base. 
     
     
         10 . The device of  claim 1 , the open position comprising the seat section being pivotally angled to allow packages to be inserted within the first compartment. 
     
     
         11 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein first compartment comprises an opening that dimensioned for packages to be inserted. 
     
     
         12 . The device of  claim 1 , the closed position comprising the seat section be level with the base to provide a horizontal seat relative to a ground surface.
