Abstract
A playing table includes a transparent base plate, four foot stands mounted on the corners of the base plate and each having an upper end having a side formed with a through hole, and four light emitting members each mounted in a respective one of the foot stands and each aligning with the through hole. Thus, each of the light emitting members emits a light source passed through the through hole of a respective one of the foot stands and projected onto the base plate, so that the playing table has a light emitting effect, thereby enhancing the aesthetic quality of the playing table.
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a playing table, and more particularly to a playing table having a light emitting effect.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- A conventional playing table comprises a base plate, four side plates mounted on the periphery of the base plate, a cover plate mounted on the side plates, two opposite score counters mounted on the cover plate, and four foot stands mounted on the corners of the base plate. However, the conventional playing table does not have a light emitting effect, thereby decreasing the aesthetic quality of the playing table.
- The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a playing table having a light emitting effect, thereby enhancing the aesthetic quality of the playing table.
- In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a playing table, comprising:
- a transparent base plate having four corners;
- four foot stands each mounted on a respective one of the four corners of the base plate and each having an upper end having a side formed with a through hole; and
- four light emitting members each mounted in a respective one of the four foot stands and each aligning with the respective through hole.
- Further benefits and advantages of the present invention will become apparent after a careful reading of the detailed description with appropriate reference to the accompanying drawings.
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a playing table in accordance with the preferred embodiment of the present invention; -
FIG. 2 is a plan cross-sectional view of the playing table as shown inFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 3 is a partially perspective cross-sectional view of a foot stand of the playing table as shown inFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 4 is a plan cross-sectional view of a playing table in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention; and -
FIG. 5 is a partially perspective cross-sectional view of a foot stand of the playing table as shown inFIG. 4 . - Referring to the drawings and initially to
FIGS. 1-3 , a playing table in accordance with the preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises atransparent base plate 11 having four corners, fourtransparent side plates 10 mounted on a periphery of thebase plate 11, atransparent cover plate 12 mounted on the fourside plates 10, twoscore counters 13 mounted on thecover plate 12, four foot stands 20 each mounted on a respective one of the four corners of thebase plate 11 and each having an upper end having a side formed with a throughhole 21 and a lower end formed with asupport seat 22, and fourlight emitting members 30 each mounted in a respective one of the four foot stands 20 and each aligning with the respective throughhole 21. - The playing table further comprises four
fixing plates 23 each mounted in the upper end of a respective one of the four foot stands 20, and fourlamp seats 24 each mounted on a respective one of the fourfixing plates 23, and each of the fourlight emitting members 30 is mounted on a respective one of the fourlamp seats 24. Preferably, each of the fourlight emitting members 30 is bulb. - Preferably, each of the four
fixing plates 23 is arranged in an oblique manner and is directed toward thethrough hole 21 of a respective one of the four foot stands 20 and toward thebase plate 11 as shown inFIG. 2 . - In practice, when each of the
light emitting members 30 emits a light source outward, each of thefixing plates 23 is directed toward the throughhole 21 of a respective one of the foot stands 20 and thebase plate 11, so that the light source of each of thelight emitting members 30 passes through the throughhole 21 of a respective one of the foot stands 20 and is projected onto thebase plate 11 as shown inFIG. 2 . In such a manner, thebase plate 11, theside plates 10 and thecover plate 12 are transparent to permeate the light source from thelight emitting members 30, thereby enhancing the aesthetic quality of the playing table 1. - Referring to
FIGS. 4 and 5 , thesupport seat 22 of each of thefoot stands 20 is made transparent, and the playing table further comprises foursecondary fixing plates 25 each mounted in the lower end of a respective one of the foot stands 20, foursecondary lamp seats 26 each mounted on a respective one of thesecondary fixing plates 25, and four secondarylight emitting members 31 mounted on a respective one of thesecondary lamp seats 26. Preferably, each of the secondarylight emitting members 31 is bulb. Preferably, each of thesecondary fixing plates 25 is arranged in a horizontal manner and is directed toward thesupport seat 22 of a respective one of the foot stands 20 as shown inFIG. 4 . - In practice, when each of the secondary
light emitting members 31 emits a light source outward, each of thesecondary fixing plates 25 is directed toward thesupport seat 22 of a respective one of the foot stands 20, so that the light source of each of the secondarylight emitting members 31 is projected onto thesupport seat 22 of a respective one of the foot stands 20 as shown inFIG. 4 . In such a manner, thesupport seat 22 of each of the foot stands 20 is transparent to permeate the light source from the secondarylight emitting members 31, thereby enhancing the aesthetic quality of the playing table. - Although the invention has been explained in relation to its preferred embodiment(s) as mentioned above, it is to be understood that many other possible modifications and variations can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. It is, therefore, contemplated that the appended claim or claims will cover such modifications and variations that fall within the true scope of the invention.
