Abstract
A rollable table assembly for employing a table as a cart includes a table comprising a first half that is slidably coupled to a second half. A handle is slidably integrated into the table for gripping. A plurality of first wheels and a plurality of second wheels are each rotatably coupled to the table for rolling along the support surface. A plurality of light emitters is each coupled to the table. Each of the light emitters emits light when the light emitters are turned on to illuminate an area.

A rollable table assembly being configured to be positionable in a cart orientation for transportation and a table orientation, said assembly comprising:
- a table comprising a first half being slidably coupled to a second half, said table being positionable in a shortened position having said first half abutting said second half, said table being positionable in an extended position having said first half being spaced from said second half;
- a handle being slidably integrated into said table, said handle being positionable in an extended position wherein said handle is configured to be gripped, said handle being positionable in a retracted position having said handle being retracted into said table;
- a plurality of legs, each of said legs being pivotally coupled to said table, each of said legs being positionable in a deployed position for supporting said table above a support surface, each of said legs being positionable in a stored position having said legs lying against said table;
- a plurality of first wheels, each of said first wheels being rotatably coupled to said table wherein each of said first wheels is configured to roll along the support surface for transporting said table;
- a plurality of second wheels, each of said second wheels being rotatably coupled to said table wherein each of said second wheels is configured to roll along the support surface for transporting said table;
- and
- a plurality of light emitters, each of said light emitters being coupled to said table, each of said light emitters emitting light when said light emitters are turned on wherein said light emitters are configured to illuminate an area.
A rollable table assembly being configured to be positionable in a cart orientation for transportation and a table orientation, said assembly comprising:
- a table comprising a first half being slidably coupled to a second half, said table being positionable in a shortened position having said first half abutting said second half, said table being positionable in an extended position having said first half being spaced from said second half, each of said first half and said second half having a bottom surface, said first half having a distal surface with respect to said second half, said first half having a channel being integrated therein, said channel extending through said distal surface and toward said first half, said channel being centrally positioned on said first half;
- a plurality of rails 13, each of said rails 13 being coupled to said first half and said second half of said table, each of said rails 13 comprising a first portion 15 that slidably engages a second portion 17 thereby facilitating said first half and said second half to be slid between said shortened position and said extended position, each of said rails 13 being positioned on said bottom surface of each of said first half and said second half, said first portion 15 of each of said rails 13 being associated with said first half, said second portion 17 of each of said rails 13 being associated with said second half;
- a leaf being positionable between said first half and said second half when said table is positioned in said extended position for extending the overall length of said table;
- a handle being slidably integrated into said table, said handle being positionable in an extended position wherein said handle is configured to be gripped, said handle being positionable in a retracted position having said handle being retracted into said table, said handle being slidably positioned in said channel, said handle having a grip thereon, said grip being exposed when said handle is positioned in said extended position,
- a plurality of legs, each of said legs being pivotally coupled to said table, each of said legs being positionable in a deployed position for supporting said table above a support surface, each of said legs being positionable in a stored position having said legs lying against said table, each of said legs being positioned on a bottom surface of said table, each of said legs being positioned on a respective one of said first half or said second half;
- a plurality of first wheels, each of said first wheels being rotatably coupled to said table wherein each of said first wheels is configured to roll along the support surface for transporting said table, each of said first wheels being positioned on said bottom surface of said table, each of said first wheels being positioned on said first half of said table, each of said first wheels being non-pivotable;
- a plurality of second wheels, each of said second wheels being rotatably coupled to said table wherein each of said wheels is configured to roll along the support surface for transporting said table, each of said second wheels being positioned on said bottom surface of said table, each of said second wheels being positioned on said second half of said table, each of said second wheels being pivotable about an axis oriented perpendicular to said bottom surface for steering said table along the support surface;
- a plurality of first barriers, each of said first barriers being hingedly coupled to said table, each of said first barriers being positionable in a deployed position having each of said first barriers extending upwardly from said table wherein each of said first barriers is configured to inhibit objects from sliding off of said table when said table is rolled along the ground, each of said first barriers being positionable in a stored position having each of said first barriers extending downwardly from said table, each of said first barriers having a lower edge and an upper edge, said lower edge of each of said first barriers being hingedly coupled to a respective one of a first lateral side and a second lateral side of a perimeter surface of said table, each of said first barriers being positioned on said first half of said table, each of said first barriers having a plurality of apertures extending therethrough to facilitate a cargo net to be secured to said first barriers for securing cargo on top of said table;
- a plurality of second barriers, each of said second barriers being hingedly coupled to said table, each of said second barriers being positionable in a deployed position having each of said second barriers extending upwardly from said table wherein each of said second barriers is configured to inhibit objects from sliding off of said table when said table is rolled along the ground, each of said second barriers being positionable in a stored position having each of said second barriers extending downwardly from said table, each of said second barriers having a lower edge and an upper edge, said lower edge of each of said second barriers being hingedly coupled to a respective one of a first lateral side and a second lateral side of a perimeter surface of said table, each of said second barriers being positioned on said second half of said table, each of said second barriers having a plurality of apertures extending therethrough to facilitate a cargo net to be secured to said second barriers for securing cargo on top of said table;
- a plurality of light emitters, each of said light emitters being coupled to said table, each of said light emitters emitting light when said light emitters are turned on wherein said light emitters are configured to illuminate an area, each of said light emitters being positioned on said bottom surface of said table, said light emitters being distributed evenly on said first half and said second half of said table, each of said light emitters being elongated;
- and
- a power supply being coupled to said table, said power supply being electrically coupled to each of said light emitters, said power supply turning on each of said light emitters when said power supply is turned on, said power supply comprising:
- at least one battery being positioned on said bottom surface of said table, said at least one battery being positioned adjacent to said perimeter surface of said table wherein said at least one battery is configured to be accessible to a user, said at least one battery being electrically coupled to each of said light emitters;
