Locking device and stabilizer for a stabilizing table

Abstract

A table with a stabilizing system is disclosed. The table has a primary shaft having a bottom portion, a lower portion, and an upper portion, wherein the primary shaft has a cut-out at a bottom portion, a locking hole at a lower portion, and a stabilization mounting hole at the upper portion, a secondary shaft inserted into the primary shaft and when inserted, movably affixed to the primary shaft, wherein the secondary shaft has a bottom portion, a lower portion, and an upper portion, and wherein the secondary shaft a locking hole at the lower portion, and a stabilization mounting hole at the upper portion, a pivot positioned through the primary shaft stabilization mounting hole and the secondary shaft mounting hole to movably affix the secondary shaft to the primary shaft about a single point of movement, a lock positioned through the primary shaft locking hole and the secondary shaft locking hole, wherein the lock fastens the secondary shaft to the primary shaft.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A locking system for a table with a stabilizing system comprising a primary shaft, a secondary shaft inserted into the primary shaft and when inserted, is movably affixed to the primary shaft, the locking system comprising:
 a lock positioned through a primary shaft locking hole and a secondary shaft locking hole, wherein the lock fastens the secondary shaft to the primary shaft;   wherein the primary shaft has a bottom portion, a lower portion, and an upper portion, and wherein the locking hole is positioned at a lower portion;   wherein the secondary shaft has a bottom portion, a lower portion, and an upper portion, and wherein the secondary shaft locking hole is positioned at a lower portion;   wherein the lock comprises a knob configured to apply a variable force to the secondary shaft causing an increase in a coefficient of friction between the primary and secondary shafts to lock the secondary shaft in place, stabilizing the table base, and wherein knob enables the user to twist for tighten the primary shaft and the secondary shaft when the table is self-stabilized on the uneven surface.   
     
     
         2 . The locking system of  claim 1 , wherein the lock comprises a quick-release latch and skewer, wherein the skewer is threadedly secured to the primary shaft and the secondary shaft, and the latch enables a user to lock the primary shaft and the secondary shaft when the table settles on a surface so that the table does not rock. 
     
     
         3 . The locking system of  claim 2 , wherein the latch allows a user to apply a variable force to the secondary shaft causing an increase in a coefficient of friction between the primary and secondary shafts to lock, the secondary shaft in place, stabilizing the table base, and wherein the braking system enable the user to twist for tighten the primary shaft and the secondary shaft when the table is self-stabilized on the uneven surface. 
     
     
         4 . A stabilization system for a table comprising a primary shaft and a secondary shaft inserted into the primary shaft and when inserted, is movably affixed to the primary shaft, the stabilization system comprising:
 a pivot positioned through a primary shaft stabilization mounting hole and the secondary shaft mounting hole to movably affix the secondary shaft to the primary shaft about a single point of movement;   wherein the primary shaft has a bottom portion, a lower portion, and an upper portion, and wherein the stabilization hole is positioned at the lower portion;   wherein the secondary shaft has a bottom portion, a lower portion, and an upper portion, and wherein the secondary shaft stabilization hole is positioned at the lower portion.   wherein the pivot comprises a bolt assembly, and wherein the sex bolt assembly comprises a barrel-shaped flange and protruding boss that is internally threaded.   
     
     
         5 . The stabilization system of  claim 4 , further comprising one or more internal shims, wherein the one or more shims are securely mounted on the secondary shaft provide cushioning to protect the primary and secondary shafts when being secured by the lock, and to further provide a barrier against table wobble.
