Claims4
A lawn chair attachment comprising, in combination:
- a table having a square planar top with a peripheral lip integrally formed to a periphery of the top and extending downwardly therefrom a constant predetermined distance, the top of the table having a pair of cylindrical recesses formed therein adjacent to a side edge thereof;
- a pair of clamps each having a length of about 1/3 that of the table and a C-shaped cross-section along an entire length thereof, the clamps each being coupled about a horizontal axis to a central extent of opposite side edges of the peripheral lip of the table for snappily coupling with a horizontal bar of a lawn chair seat;
- a leg clamping assembly including a plurality of snap locks each having a length which is less than 1/4 that of the clamps and having a C-shaped cross-section along an entire length thereof thereby defining an opening, the snap locks including two pairs of first snap locks mounted about a first horizontal axis to a bottom surface of the top of the table adjacent to the opposite side edges of the peripheral lip along a common axis which is parallel with that of the opposite side edges of the peripheral lip, a pair of second snap locks mounted about a vertical axis to an interior surface of a central extent of an associated one of the opposite side edges of the peripheral lip, and a third snap lock mounted about a second horizontal axis perpendicular with the first horizontal axis to a central extent of the bottom surface of the top of the table;
- and
- a T-shaped leg including a horizontal extent which is snappily and rotatably coupled between one of the pairs of the first snap locks and a vertical extent which is pivotable between a horizontal orientation with the vertical extent engaged with the third snap lock and a vertical orientation with the vertical extent engaged with a corresponding one of the second snap locks, wherein the vertical extent has an adjustable length.
