ABSTRACT:
A rolling display table having a surface with a shallow watertight recess for holding a bed of ice. The center of the recess has a transparent window water-tightly fitted therein. An enclosure beneath the window houses lamps for illuminating the window which may support an ice sculpture or the like to illuminate the ice sculpture to the greatest aesthetic advantage. The ice bed is placed on the shallow recess and about the ice sculpture, to serve as a bed for food stuffs which are maintained chilled such a fruit, pastries, desserts, seafood, and the like. The display surface is supported by decorative legs mounted between the display surface and a lower enclosure mounted upon casters to facilitate rolling movement of the display table. At least first and second flexible tubes extend between drain openings in the display surface for drawing water accumulated due to the melting ice away from the display surface and delivering the water to a tank which is totally concealed within the lower enclosure of the display table. The drain tubes are arranged inside the legs and substantially concealed from view. An electrical wire inside on of said legs couples an electric lamp to a plug connector arranged adjacent to the base portion of the table. The fully concealed tank is provided with a drain plug or valve for draining the tank. The concealed tank does not detract from the aesthetic appearance of the display table and provides a highly stabilized structure.
