ABSTRACT:
A picnic table is provided which includes a generally flat, horizontal table top and first and second pairs of leg support members for supporting the table top above a supporting surface. Each leg support member is generally J-shaped and has a first end mounted to the underside of the table top, and a second end mounted to the underside of a seat by a mounting assembly which supports each seat and braces the seat against a corresponding leg support member. First and second seats are mounted on a single side of the picnic table in a spaced relation so as to allow an individual confined to a wheelchair access to the table top of the picnic table therebetween. The table top defines an overhanging end portion which extends beyond one of the pairs of leg support members a distance sufficient to enable a wheelchair to be disposed therebelow, and a brace member is interconnected between the overhanging portion of the table top and the pair of leg support members for supporting the overhanging portion of the table top. The brace member includes a bend so as to provide unobstructed access for a wheelchair below the overhanging portion of the table top. An anti-tip member extends from a leg of the table to prevent the tipping of the overhanging portion of the table top when a load is placed thereon.
