  • Patent number: 11612239
    Abstract: A table includes collapsible telescopic legs and a height adjustment mechanism. The height adjustment mechanism includes a pair of latch arms and an activation device. When pushed downward, the activation device engages with the latch arms to cause the latch arms to move inward. The inward motion is opposed by a biasing mechanism disposed between the latch arms. As the latch arms move inward, tabs at the ends of the latch arms disengage from notches on the telescopic legs to allow the legs to be extended or retracted. When the activation device is released, the tabs engage with the notches to lock the legs at a selected height position.

  • Patent number: 11612241
    Abstract: A portable and stackable combination umbrella stand and table system comprised of a stand housing interoperable with a first lid portion to cover an opening in an umbrella securing body and a second lid portion to serve as a table top. The stand housing may be configured to form a concave area for receiving sand or other ballast to securely anchor the system in an upright position. As the concave area of the stand housing is filled with sand or other ballast, the first lid portion may serve as a cap by covering the upper portion of the umbrella securing body and prevents the ingress of sand or other ballast material from entering the channel (through which the umbrella pole may thereby be more easily inserted). The first lid may be removed to receive an umbrella within the umbrella securing body, and the second lid portion, which may be configured to be installed with the stand so as to form a table surface, may thereby facilitate snacking once ballast has been received.
