Pop-up rotatable tray and a tabletop comprising the same

摘要

A pop-up rotatable tray assembly is disclosed herein. The pop-up rotatable tray assembly includes a base portion, a tray support structure rotatably coupled to the base portion, and a tray top member having a top surface. The tray top member is supported by the tray support structure, and the tray top member is configured to be adjustable between an elevated position and a retracted position. A tabletop assembly, which includes the pop-up rotatable tray assembly, is also disclosed herein. When the tray top member is disposed in the elevated position, the top surface of the tray top member is spaced apart from a top surface of a tabletop peripheral portion by a vertical distance. When the tray top member is disposed in the retracted position, the tray top member is substantially aligned with the top surface of the tabletop peripheral portion.

1. A tabletop assembly comprising, in combination:
a tabletop peripheral portion, said tabletop peripheral portion having a central aperture disposed therethrough; a pop-up rotatable tray assembly disposed within said central aperture of said tabletop peripheral portion, said pop-up rotatable tray assembly including:
a base portion;a tray support structure, said tray support structure rotatably coupled to said base portion, said tray support structure of said pop-up rotatable tray assembly comprising an upper tray support frame, a central tubular member connected to a bottom surface of said upper tray support frame, and a plurality of peripheral support post assemblies spaced apart around said central tubular member, each of said plurality of peripheral support post assemblies comprising an inner tubular member, an outer tubular member, and a spring member disposed around said inner tubular member and said outer tubular member, said inner tubular member of each of said plurality of peripheral support assemblies being connected to said bottom surface of said upper tray support frame; anda tray top member, said tray top member supported on said upper tray support frame of said tray support structure, said tray top member configured to be adjustable between an elevated position and a retracted position, said spring member of each of said plurality of peripheral support post assemblies of said tray support structure configured to bias said tray top member towards said elevated position by applying an upward pushing force against said bottom surface of said upper tray support frame on which said tray top member is supported; wherein, when said tray top member is disposed in said elevated position, said tray top member is spaced apart from said base portion by a first distance, and wherein, when said tray top member is disposed in said retracted position, said tray top member is spaced apart from said base portion by a second distance, said first distance being greater than said second distance.
