Description

The invention relates to a gaming table, having at least one gaming board which is horizontally oriented during gaming operation, a substructure which supports the gaming panel during gaming operation and a aiming device which is vertically oriented during gaming operation.

Such gaming tables are basically known. With a mobile table tennis table, one half of the table can often be set up vertically so that the user can play against themselves.

The disadvantage of this is that it becomes monotonous when playing for longer periods of time.

It is therefore an object of the invention to create a gaming table that can be used in a variety of ways.

This problem is solved by the subject of the independent claim.

According to the invention, the gaming table has at least one gaming board that is horizontally oriented during gaming operation.

The game board can, for example, be between 100 cm and 200 cm, preferably 120 cm, long. The width can be, for example, between 40 cm and 100 cm, preferably 60 cm.

Depending on the target group, the dimensions of the game board can basically be chosen arbitrarily. For example, there can be mini, midi or maxi versions, i.e. for children, teenagers or adults.

The game board can preferably be printed. The print can be artistic, for example, to visually enhance the gaming table. Alternatively, the game board can be printed with advertising, game rules and/or game markings. An unprinted, preferably white, game board, on the other hand, can be painted and/or sprayed by a user, for example.

Preferably the game board is rectangular. The corners can also be rounded. The game board can be oval, for example.

For example, the game board can have a thickness between 0.5 cm and 2 cm, preferably 1 cm.

The game board can preferably comprise or consist of a wooden material, for example a composite material and/or a pressed material, a plastic material and/or a metal material.

Preferably, a water-, UV- and/or scratch-resistant coating can be provided, for example made of (melamine) resin.

The gaming table has a substructure that supports the gaming board during gaming operation.

The substructure can, for example, have a height between 50 cm and 100 cm, for example 75 cm.

The shape of the substructure is basically arbitrary. For example, the feet can be straight or curved. In addition to a rectangular arrangement, X-shaped, W-shaped, U-shaped or V-shaped arrangements are conceivable. A flat substructure is also conceivable.

The substructure can preferably be printed. The print can be artistic, for example, to visually enhance the gaming table. Alternatively, the substructure can be printed with advertising, game rules and/or markings for games. However, an unprinted, preferably white, substructure can, for example, be painted and/or sprayed by a user.

The substructure can preferably comprise or consist of a wooden material, for example a composite material and/or a pressed material, a plastic material and/or a metal material.

Preferably, a water-, UV- and/or scratch-resistant coating can be provided, for example made of (melamine) resin.

Finally, the gaming table has at least two mutually interchangeable aiming devices that are vertically oriented during gaming operation.

For example, additional aiming devices can be purchased later in order to face new playful challenges.

At least one target device, preferably all target devices, can preferably be printed. The print can be artistic, for example, to visually enhance the gaming table. Alternatively, the aiming device may be printed with advertising, game rules and/or game markings. An unprinted, preferably white, target device, on the other hand, can be painted and/or sprayed by a user, for example.

During game operation, the aiming device is preferably oriented at right angles to the game board and/or arranged above the game board.

The game plate can consist of a continuous plate. Alternatively, the game board also have two separate segments. The segments can be arranged on different sides of the target device.

The aiming device is preferably arranged centrally with respect to the game board. In the case of two separate segments, the game board can, for example, be arranged between the two segments.

The aiming devices preferably differ from one another.

Depending on which game is desired, the aiming devices can be interchanged. If a game becomes too boring, you can play another game with the same gaming table and/or choose a different game option. Different precision sports are conceivable.

The gaming table is therefore multifunctional and versatile.

The possibilities are almost unlimited. Three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten or more different aiming devices can be provided in order to be able to play a wide variety of games.

In order to be able to use the game table as a table tennis table, the aiming device can be designed, for example, as a table tennis net. The table tennis net can be, for example, 15 cm high and 75 cm long.

Furthermore, the gaming table can be used without a targeting device, for example as a table for playing cornhole, beer pong and/or other throwing games.

For example, at least one ball, e.g. table tennis ball, can be used as play equipment. Other play equipment, e.g. filled sacks, rings and/or dice are also conceivable.

For example, the game table can be used to increase the ability to react, improve eye-hand coordination and/or train whole-body movement sequences.

The rapid, constant movement sequences can also improve dexterity.

The versatile game table can be used alone, in pairs or in groups.

Further developments of the invention can also be found in the dependent claims, the description and the accompanying drawings.

According to one embodiment, at least one target device is designed as a target plate.

Different target plates are preferably provided, which can be exchanged for one another.

The target plate is preferably rectangular. The corners can also be rounded. For example, the target plate can be semicircular.

For example, the target plate can have a thickness between 0.5 cm and 2 cm, preferably 1 cm.

The target plate can preferably comprise or consist of a wooden material, for example a composite material and/or a pressed material, a plastic material and/or a metal material.

Preferably, a water-, UV- and/or scratch-resistant coating can be provided, for example made of (melamine) resin.

For example, the target plate can have the same material as the game plate and/or the substructure.

For example, at least one playing board can be cut out of an originally full-surface substructure. This allows material to be saved.

The target plate can, for example, be between 40 cm and 100 cm, preferably between 55 cm and 60 cm, high. The width can be, for example, between 40 cm and 100 cm, preferably 60 cm.

The target plate can also be designed as a table tennis net replacement plate. Such a plate can be 15 cm high, for example. The width can be, for example, between 40 cm and 100 cm, preferably 75 cm.

Alternatively or additionally, the target plate can have, for example, one or more markings. If the marking is hit, a signal, e.g. optical and/or acoustic, can be output. This way the user knows that the mark has been hit.

Depending on the target group, the dimensions of the target plate can basically be chosen arbitrarily. For example, there can be mini, midi or maxi versions, So give it to children, young people or adults.

According to a further embodiment, the target plate can be pivoted relative to the game plate.

For example, the target plate can be connected to the game plate via a joint.

The target plate is preferably weighted with a weight. The target plate can thus preferably align itself into the vertical position.

According to a further embodiment, the target plate has at least one recess.

Preferably, at least or exactly one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten or more recess(s) are provided.

The recess can preferably be formed completely within the target plate. The recess can be designed, for example, as an opening and/or hole in the target plate.

Preferably, the recess can have a circular, semicircular, oval, star-shaped and/or rectangular shape. The shape of the recess is basically arbitrary.

In the case of a circular recess, the diameter can be between 8 cm and 20 cm, for example 10 cm or 12 cm.

Without a recess, the aiming device can be used, for example, for practicing table tennis. For example, a user can play alone against a vertical wall. It is also possible for two users to play against the vertical wall from different sides at the same time.

With recess, however, the goal of the game can be to pass a ball through the recess.

For example, the recess can be designed as a circle or star, for example with a diameter of 30 cm. Players positioned on opposite sides of the target can now pass the ball to each other by passing through the circle or star. The more often the players successfully pass the ball to each other, the better the game result. Such a precision sport is similar to a game of darts. A precision sport in which two players are involved has so far only been very rare - if at all.

Alternatively, several, e.g. B. three openings may be provided.

The recess can, for example, be milled into the aiming device.

According to a further embodiment, the target plate has at least two recesses of different sizes.

The recesses can have the same shape or be shaped differently.

The edges of the recesses can, for example, have a different color. Alternatively or additionally, a lighting device can be provided. For example, the edges of the recesses and/or the border of the game board can be provided with LEDs. For example, you can also play in the dark.

The number of recesses of different sizes is basically arbitrary. Preferably, at least or exactly two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten or more recesses of different sizes can be provided. In addition, equally large recesses are also conceivable.

According to a further embodiment, a collecting device is provided in the area of the recess.

For example, without a catcher, two players can pass the ball to each other through the recess.

With a catcher, a player can try to play the ball into the slot. The ball is then caught in the collecting device.

The collecting device is preferably arranged behind the recess.

For example, a common collecting device can be provided for all recesses. Alternatively, each recess can be assigned an individual collecting device.

For example, the collecting device can be pivotably attached to the target device. The collecting device can be pivoted into the collecting position as required.

According to a further embodiment, the collecting device has a net, a basket and/or a grid.

A ball can be caught in the collecting device and easily removed again.

A return device can also be provided to return the ball from the collecting device back to the player. The return device can, for example, have a tube, a channel and/or a wire track.

According to a further embodiment, the collecting device can be attached to the target plate without tools, preferably inserted.

This means it can be quickly assembled or dismantled if necessary. For example, the collecting device can be inserted behind the recess.

According to a further embodiment, the game board, the substructure and/or the aiming device are designed to be mountable without tools, preferably pluggable.

Preferably, the different aiming devices can be plugged onto the game board and/or the substructure.

The aiming device is preferably inserted into the substructure, for example through at least one recess and/or hub. This means, for example, that it is firmly connected to the substructure and/or is sunk into the substructure.

The position of the aiming device, for example centrally in relation to the game board, can be determined by the plug connection.

For example, a locking mechanism can be provided to prevent unwanted loosening of the components.

Materials that increase friction can also be provided, for example between the game board and the substructure and/or on the underside of the substructure, in order to prevent slipping and/or to increase stability.

The materials that increase friction can be, for example, knobs, felt strips, anti-slip strips, anti-slip films and/or rubber films.

According to a further embodiment, the game board and/or the aiming device has a counting device.

For example, e.g. numbered sliders can be provided like on a foosball table or foosball box. Alternatively, for example, spheres, cylinders or cuboids are conceivable. Here the position of a ball can be changed when a point is scored to show the current score. For example, the balls can be provided in a lateral groove in the game board.

All aspects, embodiments and features of the invention described here can be combined with one another, preferably also independently of the specific embodiment in the context of which they are mentioned. Preferably, all the subject matter of the dependent claims can be combined with each other and with the subject matter of the independent claim.
