Abstract: The invention provides a dining table including integral dishwasher units. An access cover providing access to the dishwasher is provided in the dining surface and is adapted for being recessed within portions of the dining surface while the user is dining. A perforate chute extending from below the dining surface into the dishwasher is used for placing and retrieving dishes and for storing dishes during washing. A pot washer is used to wash pots and other large utensils in a separate washer. The pot washer includes a pot washer basket which is slidably mounted on a fixed support in such a way as to be accessible through doors from either side of the table. A switch arrangement prevents the potwasher from being used except when the doors are closed. The control panel as well as compartments for condiments and the like are mounted in such a way as to be accessible to the handicapped.

Abstract: The dining table comprises a table structure having one or more openings adapted to receive in a snug fit either a dining tray or a pair of operatively associated access covers, which in either case fill the opening. An inner one of the access covers is connected to the table structure by a hinge and an outer one of the access covers is suspended by a lever and latching arrangement. In a raised position, the covers abut each other and provide a substantially smooth dining surface. In a lower position, the covers are stored below the dining tray.
