Abstract
A game table is provided with a generally flat playing surface having opposed playing ends position spaced apart in a length dimension to allow players to participate from each of the playing ends. The playing surface has a length dimension greater than a width dimension of the playing surface. A plurality of holes is formed with a V-shaped pattern oriented in the length dimension. The V-shaped pattern is positioned adjacent each of the playing ends. The V-shaped pattern has a plurality of holes that increase in diameter away from the end hole. A gutter surrounds the playing surface.
Claims15
A game table comprising:
- a generally flat and planar playing surface having opposed playing ends;
- a pair of hole patterns formed adjacent each of the playing ends, each hole pattern having a plurality of holes decreasing in diameter toward the playing ends, wherein each hole pattern is formed of two rows of holes intersecting at an end hole being closest to the playing end to form a V-shaped hole pattern;
- a gutter surrounding the planar playing surface along longitudinal sides edges and back edges adjacent the playing ends;
- a plurality of balls each smaller than the end hole;
- a pair of ball catches, one of the ball catches disposed below one of each of the hole patterns;
- wherein each of the ball catches comprises a return opening disposed outboard of the gutter.
A game table comprising:
- a generally planar and flat playing surface having opposed playing ends positioned spaced apart in a length dimension to allow players to participate from each of the playing ends, the length dimension greater than a width dimension of the playing surface;
- a pair of V-shaped hole patterns oriented in the length dimension, each hole pattern formed adjacent one of the playing ends, each hole pattern having a plurality of holes extending through the playing surface, the plurality of holes decreasing in diameter toward a center-end hole positioned closest to the playing ends wherein each V-shaped hole pattern is symmetric about a longitudinal centerline of the playing surface;
- at least one ball sized smaller than the center-end hole;
- a gutter surrounding the playing surface along longitudinal sides edges and back edges adjacent the playing;
- a pair of ball catches, one of the ball catches disposed below one of each of the hole patterns, each ball catch having a plurality of channels, wherein one channel corresponds to one of the holes;
- wherein each of the ball catches comprises a return opening disposed outboard of the gutter.
A game table comprising:

- a pair of hole patterns formed adjacent each of the playing ends, each hole pattern having a plurality of holes formed of two rows of holes intersecting at an end hole being closest to the playing end to form a V-shaped hole pattern, the plurality of holes decreasing in diameter toward the playing ends, wherein the end hole has an end-hole diameter being smaller than each of the other holes in the rows of holes;
- a gutter surrounding the planar playing surface along longitudinal sides edges and back edges adjacent the playing ends;
- a pair of ball catches, one of the ball catches disposed below one of each of the hole patterns;
- wherein each of the ball catches comprises a return opening disposed outboard of the gutter.
