[Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention]
As can be seen from the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the billiard table 1 comprises four square legs 3, each leg having a corner wing 5 extending towards the corner of the table. The billiard table 1 includes two side legs having side wings 6 extending toward the center of the side surface of the table. A support pad 7 is placed on the upper end of each leg 3 and 4 and a glass playing surface 9 is supported on the support pad 7. An appropriate leveling device (not shown) may be applied to the base of each leg in order to level the playing surface of the billiard table. The structure of the playing surface 9 will be described in detail later with particular reference to FIGS. 5A to 5E.

  There are pockets 11 at each corner of the playing surface 9 and at the center of the side. Around the table, a cushion assembly 13 is provided in the same manner as a conventional billiard table. The cushion assembly portion is made of an aluminum extruded material, and is fixed to a glass competition surface 9 as shown in FIG. The cushion assembly may be by injection molding, plastic extrusion, or other methods.

  The net for collecting the balls may be attached to each pocket by conventional methods. However, in certain embodiments according to the present invention, a ball return mechanism is attached.

  The ball return mechanism includes a track 14. The track 14 is along the upper surface of the wings 5 and 6 and guides the ball in the pocket 11 to the legs 3 and 4 of the table. Alternatively, the ball may travel through a groove in the wing. Where each wing 5 and 6 is formed by two adjacent plates, the ball travels in half the wing. Before the ball reaches the leg, it enters the ball track 15 and travels along it. The ball track 15 extends along each side of the table below the playing surface 9. However, the ball track 15 can be seen through the glass playing surface 9 from the corner wing 5 to the side wing 6 and to the central side wing 6 provided where the ball falls on the cross track 19. The ball that has fallen on the cross track 19 travels along the cross track and falls on the receiving tray 21 at the end of the cross track. The ball that has fallen into the pocket on the same side as the receiving tray 21 travels along the longitudinal track 15 directly from the corner wing 5 to the side wing 6 and falls into the receiving tray 21.

  The storage portion indicated by the arrow 25 stores a folding cover used for a cue, a triangle, and a billiard table when not in use.

  According to the present invention, a billiard table having an innovative and modern design in which a transparent table top surface is integrated is provided.

  For commercial use, promotional illustrations or the like may be applied on the top of a transparent table or on a soft liquid-impermeable film that forms the outer periphery of the playing surface. The soft liquid impervious film will be described later with reference to FIGS. 5A to 5E.

  FIG. 4 shows an embodiment of the cushion assembly 13. The glass playing surface 9 has an enclosure or laminate 27, which adds rolling resistance to the playing surface. The enclosure or laminate 27 extends below the aluminum extrusion 31 that forms the cushion assembly 13.

It is attached to the upper surface of the glass competition surface 9 by a bolt 29 that passes therethrough. The cushion 33 is housed in a recess 34 inside the cushion extruded material 31.

  The enclosure or laminate 27 includes a peripheral frame 35 and an elastic band 36. The elastic band 36 extends from the peripheral frame 35, is accommodated below the cushion extrusion material 31, and is fixed there. The elastic band 36 provides elastic tension to the enclosure or laminate 27 and serves to absorb the difference in thermal expansion and contraction between the playing surface 9 and the laminate 27.

  5A-5E show detailed views of various embodiments of laminate structures for use on the playing surface of a ball playing table such as a billiard table.

  FIG. 5A shows details of the structure according to the embodiment of the laminate forming the playing surface. The glass competition surface 9 has a laminate as an outer periphery 27 placed on its upper surface. The envelope 27 includes a first soft liquid impermeable film 40, a gel layer 42 on the upper surface thereof, and another soft liquid impermeable film 44 that covers the gel layer 42. A hard layer 46 may be placed on the upper surface of the upper soft liquid impermeable film 44. The hard layer 46 is provided by vacuum-depositing a transparent film on the upper surface of the film 44 or by polishing the upper surface of the film 44 with hardness.

  The edges of the envelope 27 are sealed by heat sealing, double-sided tape, adhesive 48, or other methods. And it may be fixed to the lower part of the cushion to give a smooth and taut surface. By using a double-sided tape with a certain thickness, the gel layer or liquid layer has a thickness. As described above, the edge of the laminate 27 may include a peripheral frame and an elastic band or a hook so as to be fastened around the edge of the table.

In one particular embodiment, the soft liquid impermeable films 40 and 44 are composed of a 515 Dupont Melinex ^™ film of the 250 micron type above and below the liquid silicon. The silicon layer 42 is colorless and transparent silicon having a viscosity rating of 500 centistokes.

  Similar to thicker films, thinner films do not maintain film flatness with respect to liquid silicon and appear non-uniform after the ball rolls. If the film is too thick, the ball will not slow down sufficiently. This is because the film does not match the contact surface of the ball and the rolling resistance to the ball becomes variable. The viscosity range is preferably between 10 cps and 1000 cps. Although thin / soft silicon slows down the ball, it tends to slow down the ball after it first stops. The thicker silicon type does not slow down the ball more effectively than the thinner type, and the dimple made by the ball does not quickly return.
