Abstract
An air table game assembly has a platform. Outer sections of the platform have a perimeter edge and an interior side with the interior side being adjacent to a central section. A border wall extends around the perimeter edge of each outer section. Openings in the border wall define goals positioned in each of the outer sections. A first barrier is pivotable between a retracted position and a deployed position. The first barrier extends across a first one of the outer sections defining a first excluded section when in the deployed position. A bottom panel is coupled to the border wall in spaced relationship to the platform to define an air chamber. A plurality of vents extends through the platform and a blower is coupled to the bottom panel. The blower urges air through the vents in the platform.
Claims10
An air table game assembly comprising:
- a platform having a central section and a plurality of outer sections extending from said central section, each outer section having a perimeter edge and an interior side extending between opposite ends of said perimeter edge, said interior side of each outer section being adjacent to said central section;
- a border wall coupled to and extending around said perimeter edge of each of said outer sections of said platform defining a playing surface;
- a plurality of openings in said border wall, each opening defining a goal positioned along a distal edge of an associated one of said outer sections relative to said central section;
- a first barrier pivotally coupled to said border wall, said first barrier being pivotable between a retracted position and a deployed position, said first barrier extending across a first one of said outer sections defining a first excluded section when said first barrier is in said deployed position;
- a bottom panel coupled to said border wall, said bottom panel being positioned in spaced relationship to said platform defining an air chamber;
- a plurality of vents extending through said platform;
- and
- a blower coupled to said bottom panel, said blower urging air through said vents in said platform.
An air table game assembly comprising:
- a platform having a central section and a plurality of outer sections extending from said central section, each outer section having a perimeter edge and an interior side extending between opposite ends of said perimeter edge, said interior side of each outer section being adjacent to said central section;
- a border wall coupled to and extending around said perimeter edge of each of said outer sections of said platform defining a playing surface, a top edge of said border wall being positioned in horizontally spaced relationship to said platform;
- a plurality of openings in said border wall, each opening defining a goal positioned along a distal edge of an associated one of said outer sections relative to said central section;
- a first barrier pivotally coupled to said border wall, said first barrier being pivotable between a retracted position and a deployed position, said first barrier extending across a first one of said outer sections defining a first excluded section when said first barrier is in said deployed position, said first barrier being recessed into said border wall when said first barrier is in said retracted position;
- a second barrier pivotally coupled to said border wall, said second barrier being pivotable between a retracted position and a deployed position, said second barrier extending across a second one of said outer sections defining a second excluded section when said second barrier is in said deployed position, said first excluded section being aligned with said second excluded section, said first excluded section and said second excluded section extending from opposite sides of said central section, said second barrier being recessed into said border wall when said second barrier is in said retracted position;
- a bottom panel coupled to said border wall, said bottom panel being positioned in spaced relationship to said platform defining an air chamber,
- a blower being coupled to said bottom panel such that said blower urges air into said air chamber;
- a plurality of vents extending through said platform, each of said vents being in fluid communication with said air chamber whereby said blower urges air through said vents in said platform;
- a plurality of chutes, each chute being coupled to said border wall adjacent to an associated one of said goals whereby each chute is configured for receiving a disc passing through said associated one of said goals;
- a plurality of sensors, each sensor being coupled to an associated one of said chutes adjacent to said associated goal, each sensor being configured for detecting when the disc passes through said associated goal into said associated chute;
- a plurality of lights, each light being coupled to an associated one of said chutes, each light being operationally coupled to said associated sensor of said associated chute whereby said light is configured to illuminate when the disc passes through said associated goal into said associated chute;
- and
- a plurality of legs coupled to said platform, said legs extending downwardly from said platform whereby said platform is supported in an elevated position.
