Abstract: |
A rotatable electrical equipment table comprising: a support stand having at least one leg, the upper extent of each leg being coupled to a cross bar with an upwardly extending shaft, a support plate being formed in a planar configuration, the planar plate being coupled to the upper extent of the shaft; a lazy susan having upper and lower segments formed in a planar configuration, bearings being positioned between the upper and lower segments to permit rotation of one segment with respect to the other, the lower segment of the lazy susan being coupled to the support plate; and a worktable formed in a planar configuration, the worktable being coupled to the upper segment of the lazy susan, the worktable including a pull handle to facilitate rotation to the desired position, an extension pole formed in an elongated configuration with an upper extent and a lower extent, the lower extent being coupled to the table, a multiple outlet utility box including at least one electrical socket and being affixed to the upper extent of the extension pole, the box including an electrical extension cord.

Claim |
What is claimed as being new and desired to be protected by Letters patent of the U.S. is as follows:
1. A rotatable electrical equipment table comprising, in combination:
- a support stand fabricated of generally rectangular shaped steel tubing and including two generally A-shaped segments, each segment having two legs angled outwardly from top to bottom, a top piece being positioned horizontally across the upper extent of each leg, a cylindrical shaped foot pad being affixed to the lower extent of each leg, a cross bar being welded to the top piece of each A-shaped segment, the center point of the cross bar having an upperwardly extending shaft, the legs of each opposing segment being coupled together by planar rectangular shaped rods;
- a support plate being fabricated of steel and formed in a planar rectangular configuration, the corners of the plate each having a circular hole extending therethrough, the approximate center point of the plate being welded to the upper extent of the shaft;
- a lazy susan adapted to hold up to one thousand pounds, the lazy susan having upper and lower segments formed in a planar circular configuration, the upper segment having a larger diameter than the lower segment, the segments being rotatably coupled to each other thereby permitting rotation of one segment with respect to the other, each segment having four equidistantly spaced holes adjacent to their respective edges, four screws coupling the lower segment of the lazy susan to the support plate through their aligned holes;
- a lock pin assembly formed in a generally L-shaped configuration, a first section of the assembly formed in a planar rectangular configuration and affixed to the lower segment of the lazy susan, the second section formed as a downwardly extending rectangular box with a spring positioned therein, the second section having an aperture extending vertically therethrough, a pull handle formed as a spherical ball with an extension rod extending upwardly therefrom, the rod being positioned through the aperture in the second section and coupled to the spring, the pull handle being pulled downward to rotate the lazy susan, upon release the resilient spring forcing the extension rod in an upward direction;
- a worktable having a top piece and a bottom piece, each piece formed in a planar rectangular configuration with an upper surface and a lower surface, the pieces being coupled together with glue and screws, the top piece having a plastic coating on its upper surface, each piece having four screw holes positioned therein, the bottom piece being coupled to the upper segment of the lazy susan with four screws through their aligned holes, the lower surface having a semi spherical shaped bore adjacent to the center point of each of its four side edges; and
- an extension pole fabricated of generally rectangular shaped steel tubing and having an upper extent and a lower extent, the lower extent including a planar plate with screw holes, the plate being coupled to the center point of the table with four screws, a four outlet utility box formed in a generally rectangular configuration, the box including four electrical sockets and the associated hardware, the box being affixed to the upper extent of the extension pole, the box including an electrical extension cord with a male outlet plug.
