ABSTRACT:
A convertible bench/table container apparatus is disclosed in one presently preferred embodiment of the present invention as including a support container assembly having an internal storage chamber disposed therein for storing children's toys, clothing, blankets, for use as an ice chest, etc. The support container assembly is formed having a base board member and one or more openable seat members which provide means for facilitating access to the internal storage chamber of the support container assembly. Preferably, the seat members are hingeably attached at a first end to the base board member and operably disposed in alignment with the raised rim of the upper portion of the support container assembly to provide structural support when in the seat members are in a closed position. Connected to the base board member is an armrest assembly which provides structural support to a backrest/tabletop when the convertible bench/table container apparatus is pivoted from a bench position into a tabletop (or desktop) position. A hinge member accommodates for the pivotal movement of the convertible bench/table container apparatus into either a first or second position, and is rigidly attached to the armrest assembly and the base board member thereby providing a point of rotation thereon.
