ABSTRACT:
In preferred features, table tennis tables of the present invention include a caster base assembly which improves the ease of use and stability of the table tennis table. Preferably the table includes two caster base members adjacent opposing sides of the table. Each caster base member is preferably formed from a substantially horizontal elongate piece, preferably tubular, having two opposing end portions and a middle portion. Extending downward and mounted adjacent each opposing end is a caster which typically rests upon a support surface. The middle portion of the base member preferably has a lower height than the opposing end portions. When the table is assembled, the leg structure for a table portion of the table tennis table is attached to the base member adjacent an end portion. A cross-member may optionally be attached between the base members. In one preferred embodiment, the tennis table of the present invention comprises two table sections, each table section including tubular leg portions secured to the bottom (non-player) surface of each table portion. The caster base assembly includes vertically extending tubular extensions, preferably with swaged or reduced diameter ends, which are adapted to be joined with the ends of two leg portions. When joined in this manner, an assembled tennis table is provided. The casters allow the assembled tennis table to be easily moved about. When it is desired to play table tennis, each table section is moved to the horizontal position.
