Abstract
Abstract A bar table, the top of which is shaped as a polygon so as to fit an individual seat adjacent each side of the table. A storage section for bottles and glasses is mounted to the structure of the table top, which table top structure is slidably mounted in the table pedestal so that the table top structure may be elevated to expose the storage shelves or alternately, the table top structure may be slid inside the pedestal to enclose the shelf structure.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
384 words
A table bar assembly comprising, a hollow pedastal and a table top unit slidably mounted in the pedastal so as to travel along the vertical axis of the pedastal between an extended position in which the table top unit extends above the pedastal and a retracted position in which the table top unit is enclosed within the pedastal, said table top unit fitted with a top panel that serves as an exposed table platform for the assembly in both the said extended and said retracted positions said pedastal formed of a first number of first vertical panels oriented to form a polygon in horizontal cross-section, with one of said first vertical panels hinged to the pedastal along the vertical axis of the pedastal to form a door to the interior of the pedastal, said table top unit comprising a frame to which the table top panel and a shelf below the underside of the table top panel are mounted to a second number of second vertical panels extending below the underside of the said table top panel, with each of said second vertical panels aligned in a plane parallel to the plane of an adjacent first panel of the pedastal, in the assembled condition, with the said second number of second panels being one less than the said first number of first panels, so that the said second vertical panels of the table top unit, in horizontal cross-section form a polygon similar to the polygon formed by the pedastal vertical panels, with one vertical side of the table top unit polygon being open to provide access to the said shelf from one side of the assembly, while the remaining said second vertical panels serve to conceal the said shelf, such that in the extended position of the table top unit, above the pedastal, the assembly serves as a bar, with the shelf providing storage space accessible and visible from only one side of the assembly, and in the retracted position of the table top unit, inside the pedastal, the assembly serves as a table with access to the shelf of the table top unit provided by the door of the pedastal unit, said table top unit held in the extended position, by latching means fixed to a vertical panel of the table top unit.
