Abstract

Abstract A portable leisure table having collapsible seating structure is particularly suited for convenient use. The assembly includes planar support members, a round table board (1) having a bow-shaped handle grip (3) and four round-type seats (2), and a collapsible frame support structure. The round table board support includes table supporter rods (5) and table connectors (4). Connecting rods (7) provide partial support for the round-type seats (2) and further provide support for both the table supporter rods (5) and table connectors (4). Each of the round-type seat's support includes: a collapsing control member (6) pivotally connected to connecting plates (8), located at the mid-length of the connecting rods (7); Pair of legs (9) pivotally attached to the connecting rods (7); at the terminal ends thereof; and seat supporting rods (10) pivotally connected to the pair of legs (9) providing the remaining partial support for round-type seats (2). The four round type seats (2) and the collapsible frame support structure compact to be completely contained in a carry package defined by folded halves of the round table board (1) having a bow-shaped handle grip (3).
