A portable shooting bench and utility table. In the shooting-bench embodiment, a tabletop is isosceles-triangle-shaped for ambidextrous functionality. In the utility-table embodiment, the tabletop is preferably round but can be any shape suitable for general use. The shooting-bench embodiment preferably includes a height-adjustable seat. A plurality of ratcheting leg couplers are rotatably attached to a support base and radiate outward from the support base. A proximate end of a leg attaches in ratcheting fashion to each ratcheting leg coupler, allowing adjustment of an angle of declination of each leg. The ratcheting leg couplers rotate about the support base, allowing radial positioning of the legs for optimum stability under various terrain conditions. The shooting bench or utility table can be converted from a deployed mode to a folded mode, in which shoulder straps can be affixed to the tabletop allowing transport of the shooting bench or utility table backpack-style. |

1. A portable shooting bench, the shooting bench comprising:
a table top, the table top having an upper surface, a lower surface, and a table post, the table post extending from the lower surface perpendicular to a length of the table top opposite the upper surface, the table top providing support to a user during operation of a firearm; a support post, the support post substantially cylindrical and hollow and having an interior, the support post having an upper end and a lower end, the upper end sized to nestedly receive the table post with the interior, the lower end rotatably affixed atop a support base; the support base, the support base cylindrical and providing an attachment point for the rotatable receipt of a plurality of leg couplers; the leg couplers, the leg couplers each rotatably received to the support base, the leg couplers radiating outward from the support post, the leg couplers having a spring-loaded pawl on an upper portion of the leg coupler; a plurality of legs, the legs each pivotally received within the leg couplers at a proximal end and having a distal end, the proximate end having an upper side, the upper side having a plurality of ratchet teeth, the ratchet teeth sized for engagement with the spring-loaded pawl, and wherein the angle of the legs relative to a ground surface is adjustable through the engagement of the spring-loaded pawl and ratchet teeth, received in the leg couplers; and a seat, the seat affixed to the support post and extending outward, the seat providing support to a user in a seated position when using the device. |
