Definitions

the invention relates to an item of garden furniture, that is to say a garden seat which can quickly and easily be converted into a table with benches at its opposite sides.
the invention as claimed is intended to provide a remedy. It solves the problem of how to design an item of garden furniture which can quickly and easily be converted from a garden seat into a table with benches at its opposite sides.
each bench part is provided with a single pair of spaced slats 16. However, these are adequate for sitting at the table for a picnic meal.
the heights of the seats and of the table are standard for garden furniture of this general kind.
the trestle type bench part 10 has provided the two rearmost slats of the garden seat
the second bench part 14 has provided the two foremost slats of the garden seat
the table part 12 in partly inverted condition, has provided the seat back.
the seating portions of the benches and the table top in the illustrated embodiment are shown to have been constituted by spaced slats of wood (and in fact this is preferred because the article then has a rustic appearance) it will be understood that this is not essential. They could be fully timbered or indeed they could be made of other materials. It will also be understood that if it was found desirable to make the benches rather wider, that is to say for example of four slat width, the seating portions of the two benches could be brought into overlaying relation instead of side by side relation in the garden seat mode. By a very small change in the geometry, it could if preferred be arranged for one of the benches to be slightly lower than the other, this lower bench being a bench intended especially for children.
the seats may be provided with cushions.
the item of garden furniture there illustrated is illustrated in the table and benches mode and is shown to be provided with cushions 28,28, these each being of substantially the same width as a pair of slats on which they rest.
both the cushions are used one behind the other to cover substantially the entire seat.
a further cushion 29 is shown to be provided solely for use in the garden seat mode, this being a seat back cushion.
the underside of the table part 12 (which has provided the seat back in the garden seat mode) has been provided with an extra slat of timber 30. In the garden seat mode this prevents the seat back cushion from slipping down.
