Benefits of technology

The invention provides a transformable balcony table that can quickly and easily switch between being a table for two people and a table for four people.

Problems solved by technology

Traditional patio furniture is designed and constructed with a patio function that when used on a balcony results in a person's view being hindered by the balcony rail.
Specifically, traditional patio furniture is not height adjustable relative to a railing nor easily changed between two seat dining to four seat dining.
In addition, traditional patio furniture is supported by traditional table legs which can be inconveniently in the way as users shift positions about the table.
By contrast, balcony tables that have no vertical leg whatsoever are often flimsy and unstable.

Embodiment Construction

[0029]A transformable balcony table according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 13 of the accompanying drawings. The transformable balcony table 10 includes a primary table assembly 20 having a tabletop 22, mounting portion 30, and a first stability member 40 configured for attachment to upstanding bars of a balcony rail assembly 12. The transformable balcony table 10 may also include a first leaf 50 and second leaf 60 that effectively doubles the number of eating stations.

[0030]The primary table assembly 20 includes a tabletop 22 having a rear edge 24 and a pair of opposed side edges 26 extending forwardly from the rear edge 24 such that the edges of the tabletop 22 collectively define a generally triangular configuration. The side edges 26 converge forwardly to form an apex 28 displaced from the rear edge 24. Preferably, the tabletop 22 has a smooth planar configuration and, when mounted to a balcony rai...

Abstract

A transformable balcony table capable of attachment to a balcony rail includes a primary table assembly including a table top having a rear edge and a pair of side edges extending forwardly from the rear edge so as to form an apex opposite the rear edge The primary table assembly includes a mounting portion extending downwardly from the rear edge of the table top and defining a plurality of holes. A first stability member having a proximal end is removably coupled to the bottom surface and extends downwardly and rearwardly to a distal end. A fastener is selectively inserted through the slots of the mounting portion for coupling the mounting portion to the balcony rail. The balcony table includes a first and second leaf selectively coupled to respective side edges of the table top, the leaves transforming the table from two eating places to four.
