Patio furniture

Abstract

A patio furniture includes a tabletop having a circular center cavity and defining an inner supporting edge encircling with the center cavity and a rotor mounting arrangement including a plurality of supporting rotors evenly and rotatably mounted along the supporting edge of the tabletop and a turn table having a diameter slightly smaller than a diameter of the center cavity of the tabletop, wherein the turn table has a circular peripheral edge arranged in such a manner that when the turn table is disposed at the center cavity of the tabletop, the peripheral edge of the turn table is securely supported on the supporting rotors to substantially support the turn table within the center cavity such that the turn table is adapted to be rotated in a circular manner with respect to the tabletop through the supporting rotors.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a furniture, and more particularly to a patio furniture which comprises a rotor mounting arrangement to securely mount a turn table on a tabletop in a rotatably movable manner, so as to enhance the practice use of the turn table. [0003] 2. Description of Related Arts [0004] Patio furniture, such as a patio table, is generally intended for eating outdoors. Similar to indoor tables, the patio furniture has a main purpose of a sitting location for the consumption of food. However, such patio furniture typically incorporates with an outdoor umbrella at a center of the tabletop since the users require a long exposure in outdoors environment. Therefore, the location of the outdoor umbrella becomes an obstacle when the user must pass food or dishes around. Therefore, most patio tables have utilized a rotatable tray, which is also known as “Lazy Susan”, disposed at the center of the tabl...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0008] A main object of the present invention is to provide a patio furniture which comprises a rotor mounting arrangement to securely mount a turn table on a tabletop in a rotatably movable manner, so as to enhance the practice use of the turn table.

[0010] Another object of the present invention is to provide a patio furniture, wherein the size of the turn table can be enlarged by the peripheral supportive structure such that the tabletop can also be correspondingly enlarged its size without alternating its original structure.

[0011] Another object of the present invention is to provide a patio furniture, wherein a supporting frame is substantially mounted to the tabletop not only to enhance the strength thereof but also to support an outdoor umbrella at the center of the turn table. In other words, the supporting frame can evenly distribute the retention force of the outdoor umbrella to the tabletop without interfering the circular movement of the turn able.

[0012] Another object of the present invention is to provide a patio furniture, wherein the turn table can be mounted to any tabletop having a center cavity so as to minimize the manufacturing cost of the tabletop incorporating with the turn table.

[0013] Another object of the present invention is to provide a patio furniture, wherein no expensive or complicated mechanical structure is required to employ in the present invention in order to achieve the above mentioned objects. Therefore, the present invention successfully provides an economic and efficient solution not only for providing the turn table to securely support on the tabletop in rotatably movable manner but also for enhancing the strength of the tabletop to retain the outdoor umbrella in position.

Problems solved by technology

However, such patio furniture typically incorporates with an outdoor umbrella at a center of the tabletop since the users require a long exposure in outdoors environment.

Therefore, the location of the outdoor umbrella becomes an obstacle when the user must pass food or dishes around.

However, such patio table has several drawbacks.

In other words, the size of the tabletop 1 is also limited by the rotatable tray 2 since it is unreasonable to have a big tabletop with a small rotatable tray at the center.

In addition, such center supportive structure of the rotatable tray 2 is impractical use.
