ABSTRACT:

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is related to a game table structure which is convertible between a billiard table and a hockey game table. The game table has simple structure. When playing hockey, the hockey has better slidability to enhance the fun in playing the game.
FIG. 1
shows a conventional hockey game table which only provides hockey game for players. Recently, various kinds of convertible game tables have been developed. The configurations of these game tables as shown in
FIGS. 5 and 6
can be converted for playing different games to enhance entertaining function of game tables.
FIGS. 1
to
4
show an early hockey game table
10
created by the applicant. Such hockey game table
10
includes: a table body
12
; a wind-guiding board
14
positioned in a table frame
13
of the table body
12
, the top face thereof being formed with multiple parallel wind-guiding channels
16
, the bottom face being formed with a transverse excavation
18
with a certain width, the excavation IS communicating with the wind-guiding channels
16
; a face panel
20
having a number of vents
22
densely arranged over the face panel
20
at equal intervals, the face panel
20
being sealedly connected to the top face of the wind-guiding board
14
, each row of vents
22
being corresponding to a wind-guiding channel
16
; an air room
25
, the top face thereof being depressed to form an air chamber
26
, the bottom of the air chamber
26
being formed with a through hole
27
, the air room
25
being disposed under the wind-guiding board
14
to seal the excavation
18
; and a fan
28
fixed at the through hole
27
. The fan blows air to flow through the air chamber
26
into the wind-guiding channels
16
. The air is then blown out from the vents
22
to reduce the frictional force between the hockey
29
and the face panel
20
and enhance slidability of the hockey.
The above hockey game table
10
cannot be converted into other configuration for playing other games. Moreover, such hockey game table has complicated structure and is manufactured at high cost.
FIGS. 5 and 6
show a game table
30
which was also created by the applicant. Such game table
30
includes a table body
32
and a table board
35
. The top and bottom faces of the table board
35
are designed with different configurations. The top face
36
is formed as a billiard table face, while the bottom face
38
is formed as a hockey game table face as shown in FIG.
6
. When the table board
35
is placed into the table frame
33
with the top face
36
facing upward as shown in
FIG. 5
, in cooperation with the six pockets
34
of the table body, a billiard table is formed. Alternatively, when the bottom face
38
of the table board
35
faces upward, the game table is converted into a hockey game table.
Such game table
30
can be converted into a hockey game table. However, it is impossible to equip the game table with a blowing mechanism. Therefore, great frictional force exists between the hockey and the table board
35
and the playing effect is poor.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is therefore a primary object of the present invention to provide a complex multifunctional game table which is convertible between a billiard table and a hockey game table. A blowing mechanism is disposed in the game table, whereby when playing hockey, the hockey has better slidability to enhance the fun in playing the game.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide the above complex multifunctional game table which has simple structure.
The present invention can be best understood through the following description and accompanying drawings wherein:
