Abstract
In the specification and drawings a utility table for mounting to a cooler is described and shown with a work surface; a vertical support member; at least one work surface support rail connected to the work surface and pivotally connected to the vertical support member so that the work surface may pivot from a horizontal position for use and a vertical position for storage and transport; and a mounting bracket configured to securely receive the vertical support member and to be attached to the cooler using the existing structure of the cooler.
Claims3
A method of installing a utility table to a cooler comprising:
- a. Positioning a mounting bracket and a first vertical support member over a side of the upper side surface of the cooler, such that a vertical tab of the mounting bracket is directly above a tie-down slot of the cooler;
- b. Inserting the mounting bracket into the tie-down slot by pressing the bracket downward;
- c. Inserting an upper assembly into the first vertical support member;
- d. Connecting the first vertical support member to a work surface;
- e. Adjusting the distance between the first vertical support member when the first vertical support member is in a vertical orientation and a second vertical support member when the second vertical support member is in a vertical orientation, so that the table is capable of being mounted to coolers of varying sizes.
