Benefits of technology

[0004]It is the primary objective of the present invention to provide a robust, easy-to-transport, easy-to-make, durable picnic table.

Problems solved by technology

Such picnic tables are however heavy, difficult-to-transport and difficult-to-make.
It often requires a large space to store and transport such a picnic table because the sizes of its parts are poorly designed.
Further, it often requires a trained worker to assemble such parts to make such a picnic table, and this is labor-demanding and expensive.

Embodiment Construction

[0017]Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, a picnic table includes a frame for supporting a table top 30 and two benches 40 according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The table top 30 is located between the benches 40. The frame, the table top 30, and the benches 40 are made by mold injection of a recyclable material such as poly propylene (“PP”) and poly ethylene (“PE”).

[0018]Referring to FIGS. 1 through 3, the frame includes two leg units 10 spaced in a longitudinal direction. Each leg unit 10 includes two J-shaped legs 11 each having J-shaped cross sections perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. Each leg 11 includes a longer post 111, a shorter post 112, and a base 113 extending from the longer post 111 to the shorter post 112. Each leg 11 further includes a table top support portion 13 extending from an upper end of the longer post 111 and a bench support portion 14 extending from an upper end of the shorter post 112. Each leg 11 further includes a ridge 15 extending...

Abstract

A picnic table includes at least two leg units, a crossbar, a table top and two benches. Each leg unit includes two J-shaped legs. Each J-shaped leg includes a table top support portion formed thereon, a bench support portion formed thereon, and a recess defined in the table top support portion. The crossbar is located between the leg units. The table top includes planks and tubes for supporting the planks. The table top is supported on the table top support portions while the tubes are received in the recesses. Screws are used to secure the crossbar to the legs, secure the table top to the table top support portions, and secure the benches to the bench support portions.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a picnic table and, more particularly, to a robust, easy-to-transport, easy-to-make, durable picnic table for indoor and outdoor use.[0002]There are various picnic tables in public places such as parks, campuses, restaurants and beer houses and private places such as dinning rooms or yards. As most of picnic tables are used outdoors, they are generally made of corrosion-resistant, heat-resistant and strong materials such as metal and wood. Such picnic tables are however heavy, difficult-to-transport and difficult-to-make. It often requires a large space to store and transport such a picnic table because the sizes of its parts are poorly designed. Further, it often requires a trained worker to assemble such parts to make such a picnic table, and this is labor-demanding and expensive.[0003]The present invention is therefore intended to obviate or at least alleviate the problems encountered in prior art.BRIEF SUMMARY OF ...
