Abstract:
A transportable picnic table is disclosed comprising a pair of generally planar bases, a pair of elongated seats, a tabletop, and three support ribs hingedly attached to the seats and to the tabletop, respectively. Each of the bases includes opposite leg portions adapted to rest on a support surface and a central portion extending between the leg portions. Side notches are formed in each of the leg portions and a middle notch is formed in the central portion Lateral grooves are formed in the opposite ends of the seats and the tabletop. The grooves removably receive the bases so that the seats and the tabletop extend between the bases. The ribs are movable between a collapsed position where they lie parallel to the seats and to the tabletop, respectively, and an assembled position where they are perpendicular to the seats and to the tabletop, respectively, and fit respectively into the side notches and the middle notch of the bases. The combination of interlocking components provides a picnic table that is both stable and transportable.
