Abstract
A table game including a housing, a playing surface received within the housing, and a paddle member resiliently affixed to the playing surface and supported by the housing. The paddle member serves to move the playing surface upwardly and downwardly relative to a vertical force applied to the paddle member. The paddle member is rotatable about a vertical axis relative to an actuation of a handle member connected thereto. The paddle member is slidable across a width dimension of the playing surface. The playing surface includes a first surface which is pivotally connected to a second surface. The first surface is independently movable relative to the second surface. A second paddle member is affixed to the second surface at an end of the first surface.
Claims39
A table game comprising:
- a housing;
- a playing surface received within said housing;
- and
- a paddle means affixed to said playing surface and resiliently supported by said housing, said paddle means for moving said playing surface upwardly and downwardly relative to a vertical force applied to said paddle means, said paddle means rotatable about a vertical axis.
A table game, comprising:
- a housing;
- a playing surface received within said housing;
- a game piece slidably and removably positioned on said playing surface, said game piece having a diameter dimension;
- and
- a paddle mechanism comprising:
- a frame positioned at an end of said playing surface and extending above said playing surface;
- at least one bar extending across said frame;
- a paddle member comprising;
- a first paddle extending upwardly transverse to said playing surface:
- a second paddle extending upwardly transverse to said playing surface, said first and second paddles being in coplanar alignment, said first and second paddles having a space therebetween greater than said diameter dimension of said game piece;
- a vertical member connected to said paddle member and rotatably and slidably connected to said bar to permit said paddle member to rotate about an axis generally perpendicular to said playing surface while moving across said playing surface;
- and
- a handle member affixed to said vertical member.
A table game, comprising:
- a housing;
- a playing surface received within said housing;
- and
- a paddle mechanism comprising:
- a frame positioned at an end of said playing surface and extending above said playing surface;
- at least one bar extending across said frame;
- a paddle member;
- a vertical member connected to said paddle and rotatably and slidably connected to said bar to permit said paddle member to rotate about an axis generally perpendicular to said playing surface while moving across said playing surface;
- and
- a handle member affixed to said vertical member, said vertical member extending through a slot in said housing, said slot defining a slidable travel path for said vertical member, said vertical member having a crossbar affixed to an end of said vertical member, said handle member comprising:
- a first vertical handle affixed to one end of said crossbar;
- and
- a second vertical handle affixed to an opposite end of said crossbar.
A paddle mechanism for propelling a game piece across a playing surface, comprising:
- a frame for positioning above said playing surface;
- at least one bar extending across said frame;
- a paddle member;
- a vertical member connected to said paddle member and rotatably and slidably connected to said bar to permit said paddle member to rotate about an axis generally perpendicular to said playing surface while moving across said playing surface;
- and
- a handle member affixed to said vertical member.
A paddle mechanism for propelling a game piece across a playing surface, comprising:
- a paddle member;
- a frame for positioning adjacent said playing surface;
- at least one bar extending across said frame;
- a support member for holding and positioning said paddle member above said playing surface, said support member connected to said paddle member, movably connected to said bar for moving said paddle member along at least one dimension of said playing surface and rotatably connected to said bar for rotating said paddle member about an axis generally perpendicular to said playing surface;
- and
- a handle member connected to said support member.
