Abstract

A game table includes: a table body having two end frames; a table board rotatably connected between the two end frames, the table board having a hockey table face in which an air space is formed; an air-blowing member mounted in one of the end frames for blowing air into a pressure reservation space, after the pressure is reserved in the pressure reservation space, the air flowing into the air space and then flowing out the hockey table face through orifices thereof; and multiple flow guide units disposed in the air space to partition the air space into multiple flow ways. The flow guide units and the flow ways communicate with each other, whereby the air can uniformly flow to every part of the air space without generating turbulence and with the air pressure unified over the air space to enhance blowing effect of the hockey table face.

Dependent claims

A game table with hockey game, comprising:

a table body having two end frames;
a table board, which is a rectangular frame body, two ends of the table board being pivotally connected with the two end frames, whereby the table board is rotatable between the end frames;
a top face and a bottom face of the table board being respectively formed with a hockey table face and a second game table face;
at least two latch assemblies mounted between the table body and the table board for positioning the table board in a state for using the hockey table face or in another state for using the second game table face;
the hockey table face of the table board having a face board, numerous orifices being longitudinally and transversely arranged on and densely distributed over the face board;
an inner board being disposed in the table board;
an air space being defined between the face board and the inner board;
a plurality of inlets being formed at one end of the inner board in communication with the air space;
an air-blowing member mounted in a first end frame of the table body and having an air exit;
an air reservoir member having an intake, the air reservoir member being mounted under a bottom face of the inner board, a pressure reservation space being defined between the inner board and the air reservoir member in communication with the inlets of the inner board, when the table board is positioned in the state for using the hockey table face, the air exit of the air-blowing member being in communication with the intake of the air reservoir member;
and
multiple flow guide units having elongated configurations, each flow guide unit having at least two flow guide bodies, a passageway being formed between each two adjacent flow guide bodies;
each flow guide body being formed with at least one air guide channel in communication with the passageway;
the flow guide units being arranged in the air space in rows with each air guide channel aligned with at least one row of orifices;
the flow guide units partitioning the air space into multiple flow ways, the adjacent flow guide units and flow ways communicating with each other via the passageways;
each inlet of the inner board communicating with one of the flow ways;
whereby air is blown out from the air exit to flow into the pressure reservation space and then flow from the pressure reservation space through the inlets of the inner board into the flow ways, the air then flowing through the passageways into the air guide channels and then flowing from the air guide channels and the flow ways through the orifices out of the face board.

A game table with hockey game, comprising:

two end frames;
a table board, a top face and a bottom face of the table board being respectively formed with a hockey table face and a second game table face, two ends of the table board being pivotally connected with the two end frames, whereby the table board is rotatable between the end frames and is able to be positioned for using the hockey table face or the second game table face;
the hockey table face of the table board having a face board and an inner board;
numerous orifices being longitudinally and transversely arranged on the face board;
the inner board being disposed in the table board;
an air space being defined between the face board and the inner board;
the air space having at least one inlet;
an air-blowing member mounted in one of the end frames;
a pressure reservation space formed in the table board and located between the air space and the air-blowing member and in communication with the inlet, when the table board is positioned for using the hockey table face, the air-blowing member being able to blow air into the pressure reservation space;
and
multiple flow guide units having elongated configurations, the flow guide units being disposed in the air space to partition the air space into multiple flow ways, each flow guide unit having at least one passageway;
each two adjacent flow ways communicating with each other via the passageway;
whereby the air is flow from the pressure reservation space through the inlet into the flow ways of the air space, the air then flowing from the flow ways through the orifices out of the face board.
