Abstract

A table structure comprises: a table body having a rotatable platform on a table plate thereof, the platform being divided into a plurality of divisions; a transmission mounted inside the table body for rotating the platform; at least a control box located on the table plate for connection with a control circuit of the transmission; and at least a monitor mounted on the platform for being controlled by a control means, whereby the control means enables the monitor to inform guests of a dish count by showing a numeral before placing the dish on the platform and the control box also controls the rotation manner of the platform for facilitating the eating of dish.

Claims

1. A table structure comprising:

a table body having a rotatable platform on a table plate thereof, said platform being divided into a plurality of divisions;

a transmission mounted inside said table body for rotating said platform;

at least a control box located on said table plate for connection with a control circuit of said transmission; and

at least a monitor mounted on said platform for being controlled by a control means, whereby said control means enables said monitor to inform guests of a dish count by showing a numeral before placing said dish on said platform and said control box also controls the rotation manner of said platform for facilitating the eating of dish.

2. The table structure of claim 1, wherein said monitor comprises two seven-stage display devices for showing at least two colored lights.

3. The table structure of claim 1, wherein a plurality of small-depressed cavities are formed on said platform for holding respective relish trays.
