Table

Abstract

A table including a table top and a rotationally molded table base for supporting the table top. The table base has a bottom portion and an interior. The table includes a mounting assembly including a base member for being secured to a floor and having the bottom portion of the table base positioned thereabove. The mounting assembly also includes a blocking member configured to be positioned in the interior of the table base above the bottom portion of the table base and connected to the base member. The mounting assembly has a secured configuration wherein the blocking member inhibits movement of the bottom portion of the table base away from the base member.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A table comprising:
 a table top;   a rotationally molded table base for supporting the table top, the table base having a bottom portion and an interior;   a mounting assembly including a base member for being secured to a floor and having the bottom portion of the table base positioned thereabove;   the mounting assembly including a blocking member configured to be positioned in the interior of the table base above the bottom portion of the table base and connected to the base member; and   the mounting assembly having a secured configuration wherein the blocking member inhibits movement of the bottom portion of the table base away from the base member.   
     
     
         2 . The table of  claim 1  wherein the bottom portion of the table base and the blocking member include though openings;
 wherein the base member includes at least one protrusion for extending in the through openings of the bottom portion of the table base and the blocking member; and 
 wherein the mounting assembly includes at least one locking member configured to be secured to the protrusion of the base member and inhibit movement of the blocking member away from the base member. 
 
     
     
         3 . The table of  claim 1  wherein the bottom portion of the table base and the blocking member include through openings;
 wherein the base member includes at least one threaded stud for extending in the through openings of the bottom portion of the table base and the blocking member; and 
 at least one nut for being secured to the threaded stud above the blocking member. 
 
     
     
         4 . The table of  claim 1  wherein the base member includes a plate portion and bosses upstanding therefrom;
 wherein the blocking member includes a plate portion having openings to receive the bosses; 
 wherein the bottom portion of the table base includes openings to receive the bosses; and 
 wherein the mounting assembly includes locking members to be secured to the bosses and keep the blocking member and bottom portion of the table base between the locking members and the plate portion of the base member. 
 
     
     
         5 . The table of  claim 4  wherein the plate portion of the base member includes openings; and
 wherein the mounting assembly includes anchors to extend in the through openings and secure the base member to the floor. 
 
     
     
         6 . The table of  claim 1  wherein the mounting assembly includes stops to resist deflection of the bottom portion of the table base toward the base member. 
     
     
         7 . The table of  claim 6  wherein the base member includes through openings;
 wherein the mounting assembly includes anchors to extend in the through openings and secure the base member to the floor; and 
 wherein the stops include upper portions of the anchors. 
 
     
     
         8 . The table of  claim 1  wherein the table base has a lower rim configured to contact the floor about the base member and conceal the base member. 
     
     
         9 . The table of  claim 1  wherein the bottom portion of the table base includes a central wall portion, a lower rim, and a tapered wall portion connecting the central wall portion and the lower rim; and
 wherein the blocking member engages the central wall portion of the table base with the mounting assembly in the secured configuration thereof. 
 
     
     
         10 . The table of  claim 1  wherein the table base has a unitary, one-piece construction. 
     
     
         11 . The table of  claim 1  further comprising fasteners for securing the base member to the floor; and
 wherein the base member includes through openings to receive the fasteners. 
 
     
     
         12 . The table of  claim 1  wherein the table base includes a body and a lid, the body including the interior and the bottom portion, the body having an upper opening that opens to the interior; and
 wherein the lid is configured to close the upper opening of the body of the table base. 
 
     
     
         13 . The table of  claim 1  wherein the table top and the table base have outer surfaces that are ligature-resistant.
