Abstract:
A utility bench that may be collapsed and easily transported, having a seating pad, upper frame, lower frame, and multiple support struts. The frames and struts comprise a plurality of strong lightweight tubular components connected by joint components. The bench is easy to assemble and folds compactly for storage. In a first preferred embodiment, the lower frame contains storage connectors for receiving and retaining the support struts when the bench is in a collapsed condition. In a second preferred embodiment, the frame structure is opened along one end of a set of struts, laid flat, and folded in a map-like closed position. The hollow rectangular design of the utility bench provides storage for additional items inside the bench frame such as a wheeled canopy case or other container, thus providing a rolling base for the frame to easily transport the utility bench, canopy, and/or gear to the desired location.
