ABSTRACT:
A table tennis assembly including a table having a flat upper surface, a transversely disposed net that divides the surface into two playing areas, a ball, and a pair of paddles that include ball striking surface that is characterized by at least the periphery of the flat upper surface, the net, the ball and the striking surfaces of the paddles having a fluorescent material thereon. The fluorescent material is selected from a group that comprises organic compounds, dyes, and inorganic compounds that emit light visible to the human eye when exposed to electromagnetic radiation in the infra-red or ultra-violet range. When the assembly that includes the fluorescent material is exposed to radiation to which the fluorescent material is responsive, the table, net, ball and paddles are illuminated to the extent that table tennis may be played in the dark. The table tennis assembly may be either originally manufactured to include the fluorescent material, or a kit may be provided to transform a conventional table tennis assembly to one which in combination with a source of black light, preferably ultra-violet radiation, may be used to play table tennis in the dark.
