Abstract
The invention relates to a table (1) which can be converted into a billiard table, of the type comprising a rectangular fixed frame which is provided with vertical support feet (11) and which surrounds a rectangular central plate (13) which is covered with a cloth and which is carried by the fixed frame, and a rectangular movable frame (20) which is arranged above the fixed frame and which carries internally an assembly of rebound bands. The movable frame (20) can be displaced vertically between a lower position, forming a table, and two upper positions, in which the inner edge of the assembly of bands is, relative to the central plate, at a height for American billiards, then at a height for French billiards, respectively.
Claims19
A table that is convertible into different types of billiard tables, said table comprising:
- a rectangular central plate covered with a cloth,
- a rectangular fixed frame having vertical support legs, said fixed frame surrounds said rectangular central plate and is connected thereto, and
- a rectangular movable frame arranged above the fixed frame and having an internal wall structure with cushioned portions, the movable frame being displaceable by control means vertically between a lower position, forming a table, and two upper positions, in said two upper positions, an inner edge of the wall structure is, relative to the central plate, at a height for American billiards, then at a height for French billiards, respectively.
A table that is convertible into different types of billiard tables, comprising:
- a rectangular fixed frame having vertical support legs and surrounding a rectangular central plate, said central plate being covered with a cloth and being supported by said fixed frame;
- a rectangular movable frame surrounding said fixed frame and including an assembly of resilient members on an inner surface thereof;
- and
- a control mechanism for vertically displacing said movable frame with respect to said fixed frame between a lower position, wherein an upper surface of said fixed frame is substantially coplanar with said central plate and forming a table, and two upper positions, in a first of said upper positions, an inner edge of the assembly of resilient members is at a height for American billiards relative to the central plate and in a second of said upper positions, said inner edge of the assembly of resilient members is at a height for French billiards.
A table that is convertible into different types of billiard tables, comprising:
- a rectangular fixed frame having a central opening and vertical support legs;
- a rectangular central plate within said central opening, said central plate being covered with a cloth and being supported by said fixed frame;
- a rectangular movable frame overlying said fixed frame and including an assembly of resilient members on an inner surface thereof;
- and
- a control mechanism between said fixed frame and said movable frame for vertically displacing said movable frame with respect to said fixed frame between a lower position forming a table, and two upper positions, in a first of said upper positions, an inner edge of the assembly of resilient bands is at a height for American billiards relative to the central plate and in a second of said upper positions, said inner edge of the assembly of resilient bands is at a height for French billiards.
