Abstract
A card table structure, preferably a poker table, includes a frame with legs for supporting the frame over a floor surface and a peripheral rail that extends about the table. A playing surface is disposed under the rail and extending across the rail to provide a surface upon which a card table game is to be played. A peripheral support member is secured under the rail. The peripheral support member includes a strip that extends about a major periphery of the table and for the support of plural power connectors for re-charging electronic devices directly at the card table structure.

A card table structure comprising:
- a frame that includes legs for supporting the frame over a floor surface;
- the frame including a peripheral rail that extends about the table;
- a playing surface under the rail and extending across the rail to provide a surface upon which a card table game is to be played;
- and a peripheral support member secured under the rail;
- said peripheral support member comprised of a strip that extends about a major periphery of the table and for the support of plural power connectors for re-charging electronic devices directly at the card table structure.
A poker table constructed so that electronic devices can be readily re-charged directly at the poker table, said poker table constructed to include a frame that includes legs for supporting the frame over a floor surface and a peripheral rail that extends about the table, a playing surface under the rail and extending across the rail to provide a surface upon which a poker game is to be played, and a peripheral support member secured under the rail and comprised of a strip that extends about a major periphery of the table other than where a dealer is positioned and for the support of plural power connectors for re-charging electronic devices directly at the poker table.
A method of constructing a card table structure comprising:
- Providing a frame that includes legs for supporting the frame over a floor surface;
- the frame including a peripheral rail that extends about the table;
- providing a playing surface under the rail and extending across the rail to provide a surface upon which a card table game is to be played;
- and providing a peripheral support member secured under the rail;
- said peripheral support member comprised of a strip that extends about a major periphery of the table and for the support of plural power connectors for re-charging electronic devices directly at the card table structure;
- providing as at least a part of the frame a base board;
- disposing a series of spaced apart recesses in the base board each for receiving a respective power connector;
- and
- disposing an interconnecting channel for wiring and extending between respective recesses.
