  • Patent number: 8863673
    Abstract: An outdoor table is divided into two or more sections to allow one or more heaters to be placed and accessed within the perimeter of the table top without removing any support parts of the table. The table top includes at least one aperture through which a heater projects. Each section of the table may be hinged to one or more adjacent sections at one or both ends of the separation between the sections so that the table sections may be swung open and closed. The hinging mechanisms may have a removable pin or bolt that may be removed to open the table from either side of the separation. The table sections may be used as a stand-alone table when detached from each other. One or more inserts may be used to cover the aperture, to change the size of the aperture, or to accommodate additional table features.
