Pivotal support assembly for a convertible bench/table container

Abstract

A convertible bench/table container apparatus is disclosed in one presently preferred embodiment of the present device as including a support container assembly having an internal storage chamber disposed therein for the purpose of storing children's toys, clothing, blankets, etc. or for use as an ice chest, food receptacle, etc. In preferred construction, the support container assembly may be formed having a base board member and one or more openable seat members to facilitate access to the internal storage chamber of the support container assembly. Preferably, the seat members are hingeably attached at a first end to the base board member and operably disposed in alignment with a raised rim of the upper portion of the support container assembly which provides structural support to the seat members in a closed position. Mountably engaging the base board member is a pivotal support assembly which provides structural support to the convertible bench/table container apparatus by the armrest assembly when the backrest/tabletop is pivoted from a first position, providing a park or lawn bench structure, into a second position, providing a tabletop (or desktop). Structurally, the pivotal support assembly accommodates the movement of the backrest/tabletop into either the first position or the second position, as outlined above, and comprises a point of rotation thereabout.
