Benefits of technology

[0008] Applicant's invention comprises a highly buoyant utility table for use on any body of water, as well as on land, possessing nautically and aerodynamically efficient characteristics in a low profile floatation platform which provides exceptional stability, with or without external support.

Problems solved by technology

These recreational devises are limited in application, ignoring other more practical usage, such as maintenance of marine equipment, docks, water towers, containment ponds, water parks, pools and the like.

Embodiment Construction

[0015] Referring now more particularly to FIG. 1, the preferred embodiment of the applicant's invention comprises a highly buoyant and stable utility table of one-piece construction, fabricated from resilient, impact resistant and durable high-density polyethylene plastic that is chemically inert, highly ultraviolet stable, moisture and mold resistance 1. This view of the table depicts multiple-sized containment cavities to retain loose articles, such as materials and tools, or in recreational applications, cups, bowls, bottles and containers 2. The substantially constant cross-section of the utility table displays a nautically and aerodynamically efficient profile 3 for low-drag passage of moving fluids, such as water or air, enhancing said stability without external support. The rounded corners and edges of the table 4 also prevent personal injury or damage to containment pond walls and pool liners. An aperture opening 5 passes completely through the center of the table's surface ...

Abstract

A highly buoyant, lightweight and portable utility table for use in any body of water, such as oceans, lakes, fresh water ponds, containment ponds, water towers and pools, as well as on land as a work bench, or for recreational activities such as camping, picnicking, tailgating and table games. The utility table possesses excellent buoyancy with rigidity and resilience for durability, as well as nautical and aerodynamic stability without external support, and is prominently visible for ease of location and safety. The utility table may have a hollow interior, with molded plastic wall construction. The utility table may alternately be of a single component plastic foam or wood construction. The utility table may also possess legs for use on land. The utility table possesses a predominantly flat work surface on one side, with the opposite side possessing multiple-sized containment cavities, without effecting the table's buoyancy or stability.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] Applicant has invented a utility table, having multiple applications on both water and land. More particularly, this invention relates to a highly buoyant, nautically and aerodynamically efficient low-drag utility table, which provides exceptional stability in water, with or without external support. [0002] At the present time, typical devises for use as a table on water are primarily designed for light-duty use in recreational applications, such as floatation devises with beverage holders and sunshades for swimming pools. These recreational devises are limited in application, ignoring other more practical usage, such as maintenance of marine equipment, docks, water towers, containment ponds, water parks, pools and the like. None of the previous efforts in this area taken either alone or in combination teach or suggest all of the benefits of this invention. [0003] An important advantage of the applicant's utility table design is the flexibility for...
