Benefits of technology

[0012] The table mounting structure also includes a first selectively releasable clamp assembly associated with the first arm allowing the slide to selectively rotate and move longitudinally and to releasably lock in place and a second selectively releasable clamp assembly associated with the socket member allowing the second arm to selectively rotate and move longitudinally and to releasably lock in place. The chair with the foldable table of the present invention may or may not include armrests. In the case of a chair with armrests, the socket member can be secured to one of the legs. The first and second arms may be connected respectively to the slide and the socket member with a respe

Problems solved by technology

While the current table attachments for chairs are effective for their purposes, they do have certain deficiencies.
However, even other types of table attachments which allow flexibility of use have complex configurations to manufacture and use.
Some table attachments do not fold up neatly with the folding chair.
It is often difficult or awkward to attach and remove the table from a lightweight folding chair.
Thus, because the table attachments do not fold with the folding chair they severely limit the portability of the chair/table attachment combination.
This procedure is difficult and inconvenient especially in most picnic or beach sett

Abstract

A seating device with a foldable table is provided. The seating device comprises a seat assembly mounted on a plurality of legs, a table and a support structure having first and second telescoping arm assemblies fixed in an angular relationship and selectively releasable clamp assemblies associated with the first and second telescoping arm assemblies allowing said telescoping arm assemblies to selectively rotate and move longitudinally. The movement of the table is restricted and released by releasable latches.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] Chairs with a table, such as college seats and baby high chairs, are well known. Chairs with a hinged table are also well known. Chairs with a hinged table typically have an assembly for mounting a table on a chair, the assembly comprising a shaft pivotally secured to the seat at a pivot axle and rotatable about the pivot axle from a horizontal position to a vertical position, the table pivotally secured to the shaft at a pivot pin and rotatable relative to the shaft about the pivot pin to a horizontal working position when the shaft is in the vertical position, and a stop pin for limiting rotational movement of the shaft relative to the table. [0002] While the current table attachments for chairs are effective for their purposes, they do have certain deficiencies. Table attachments have been developed which allow a mounted table to be positioned in numerous orientations. Accordingly, a table attachment that allows a mounted table to be positioned ...
