Abstract
A folding billiard table includes a billard table face, and a frame member supporting the billiard table face, a pair of main support legs rotatably mounted on eccentric portions of the frame member. A pair of foldable lateral support legs is disposed on one side of the main support legs, a pair of liftable and foldable lateral support legs is disposed on other side of the main support legs, and a pair of long and short linkages are disposed between the main support legs and liftable and foldable lateral support legs. When it is not used, the billiard table face can be turned upward, with the liftable and foldable lateral support legs raised, so that the billiard table face can be turned from a horizontal position to a vertical position to reduce the room occupied by the table.
Claims6
A folding billiard table, comprising:
- a billiard table face with ball pockets;
- a frame member disposed below said billiard table face so as to support the billiard table face, said frame member having at least a first support beam and a second support beam, said first support beam and said second support beam each being formed with a long slot;
- a pair of main support legs, each of said main support legs having an upper end which is rotatably fixed to one of said first and second support beams of said frame member to support the same;
- a middle main support beam extending between and attached to said main support legs;
- a pair of foldable laterally disposed support legs, each of said pair of laterally disposed support legs having an upper end and a lower end, the upper end of each of said laterally disposed support legs being fixed to a first end of one of said first and second support beams, the lower end of each of said laterally disposed support legs being fixed to one side of one of said main support legs, each of said foldable laterally disposed support legs being provided with a foldable joint structure;
- and
- a pair of liftable and foldable laterally disposed support legs, each of said pair of liftable and foldable laterally disposed support legs having an upper end and a lower end, the upper end of each of said liftable and foldable laterally disposed support legs being rotatably fixed to a second end of one of said first and second support beams, so that when said billiard table face is turned upward, and said liftable and foldable lateral support legs are raised off the ground, each said foldable joint structure is bent, and each of said pair of liftable and foldable laterally disposed support legs is lifted gradually, and when said billiard table face is folded and stands vertically, each of said pair of liftable and foldable laterally disposed support legs is located closely adjacent to said billiard table face.
