Table With Rotatable Writing Surface

Abstract

A table is disclosed, which has a rotatable writing device and a non-rotatable table portion. The rotatable writing device has an upper surface for accepting writing. The table portion includes a plurality of lobes to provide convenient work space that does not interfere with rotation and use of the writing device.

1 . A table comprising: 
 a table portion having an upper surface that extends in a first plane; and    a writing device interconnected to said table portion for rotation relative thereto, and having an upper surface adapted to receive writing thereon.    
     
     
         2 . The table of  1  wherein said writing device's upper surface is selected from the group consisting of dry-erase board and chalkboard.  
     
     
         3 . The table of  1  wherein said table portion and said writing device are coplanar.  
     
     
         4 . The table of  1  wherein said table portion comprises a plurality of lobe-shaped extensions about its perimeter.  
     
     
         5 . The table of  1  wherein said table portion includes an opening for receiving said writing device.  
     
     
         6 . The table of  1  wherein said writing device rotates on a bearing.  
     
     
         7 . The table of  1  wherein said writing device's upper surface is inclined relative to said table portion's upper surface.  
     
     
         8 . The table of  1  wherein said writing device is frustoconical in shape.  
     
     
         9 . A table comprising: 
 a table portion having a plurality of lobes evenly spaced about its perimeter, an upper surface, and an opening centrally positioned relative to said upper surface; and    a writing device positioned within said opening and rotatably interconnected to said table portion, said writing device having an upper surface adapted to receive writing thereon.    
     
     
         10 . The table of  9  wherein said writing device rotates on a bearing.  
     
     
         11 . The table of  9  wherein said writing device's upper surface is selected from the group consisting of dry-erase board and chalkboard.  
     
     
         12 . A writing device for use with a table, said writing device comprising: 
 an upper surface adapted to receive writing thereon;    and a bearing for rotatably supporting said writing device on said table.    
     
     
         13 . The writing device of  12  wherein said writing device's upper surface is selected from the group consisting of dry-erase board and chalkboard.  
     
     
         14 . The writing device of  12  wherein said writing device is frustoconical in shape.
