Abstract

An adjustable table having a table top having a first dimension and a second dimension, the second dimension being longer than the first dimension is described. At least four legs extending from the table top to a supporting surface are provided. A backing member extends substantially vertically from the table top along one of the first dimension or the second dimension. First and second cross members each extend between and are coupled to two of the legs. A transverse member is provided between the first cross member and the second member and a container extends along the transverse member. The container includes a plurality of weighted compartments.

Claims

1. A table comprising:

a table top having a first dimension and a second dimension, the second dimension being longer than the first dimension;

at least four legs extending from the table top to a supporting surface;

a backing member extending substantially vertically from the table top

along one of the first dimension or the second dimension;

a first cross member extending between and coupled to two of the legs;

a second cross member extending between and coupled to two of the legs, the second cross member extending generally parallel to the first cross member;

a transverse member extending between and coupled to the first cross member and the second member; and

a primary container extending along the transverse member and proximate to the supporting surface, the container comprising a plurality of weighted compartments.

2. The table of claim 1, wherein the second dimension is roughly equal in length to a whole number times the length of the first dimension.

3. The table of claim 2, wherein the backing member is segmented into roughly equal length sections, each section being roughly equal in length to the first dimension and at least one of the sections may be mounted to the table top along the first dimension to couple the table to the other structure such that the second dimension extends from the support surface.

4. The table of claim 1, wherein each of the plurality of weighted compartments is configured to hold about ten pounds of a weighting material.

5. The table of claim 4, wherein the weighting material is water.

6. The table of claim 4, wherein the weighting material is sand.

7. The table of claim 1, wherein the primary container is of a length of about the length of the second dimension.

8. The table of claim 7, wherein the primary container comprises a pair of openings configured to receive two legs spaced apart by a distance roughly equal to the first dimension.

9. The table of claim 8, wherein each table leg is adjustable in length.
