00 MOBILE TABLE AND CHAIRS

O

For many people attending various outdoor events like free entertainment in the parks, picnics, horse racing events etc. the common problem of struggling to carry various fold-up chairs and tables or rugs along with food 'Eskeys' and picnic baskets, seems to be prevalent. The camping equipment currently available is cumbersome and lacks style and sophistication.

The mobile table and chairs described here comprises a table, two chairs and a padded or insulated drinks container all on wheels that can be pulled along easily over any terrain.

The oblong shaped case which has a lid that separates horizontally from the base but is still attached by four folding legs positioned at each corner, that when straightened and locked into position with stabilizing struts, allows the case to convert into a table.

The shape and size of the said case is such that it holds two fold-up chairs and the padded or insulated multi-purpose container. The size and shape of the said container is such that it fits into the cavity inside the legs of the two folded up chairs. When loaded and closed the said case glides over any surface on the appropriate wheels that are attached to the case at one end and pulled along by a handle positioned at the opposite end. The innovative step regarding this mobile table and chairs set is that all the different elements mentioned here, fit together compactly and coordinate in an aesthetically stylish manner.
