A rebounding ball game comprising a circular planar horizontal court 12 and a deflecting element 32 having a spherical concave rebound surface 34 mounted generally orthogonal to the court 12, such that a substantial portion of the rebound surface 34 extends above the court 12 and a substantial portion of the court 12 extends forwardly of the rebound surface 34. Players position themselves on generally opposite sides of the court 12 forwardly of the rebound surface 34 and propel a ball against the rebound surface 34 to deflect onto the court 12 in order to score points. The court 12 may be provided with an aperture defining an out-of-play region, and may be elevated by means of a tripod 14 or other suitable support. In another embodiment, the deflecting element 32 may be pivoted on a support 50 to be displaced from a position in which it is mounted orthogonal to the court 12 to a position in which it is supported horizontally above the court 12 and shields the court 12 from adverse weather conditions.

Disclosed is an integrated foldable table tennis table which is capable of being easily stored with a minimized storage space. The integrated foldable table tennis table includes hinge units mounted on horizontal legs which are disposed below both table tennis tables with being separated therefrom; and link units pivotally installed between the hinge units and lower surfaces of both table tennis tables to fold or unfold the both table tennis tables. The hinge units include first and second brackets installed to face each other. The link units include first links of which one ends are pivotally attached to vertical legs and the other ends are pivotally attached to the hinge units, and second links of which one ends are pivotally attached to the lower surfaces of the both table tennis tables and the other ends are pivotally attached to the hinge units. The first link and the second link are pivotally connected to each other by a connecting pin which is inserted in holes formed at specific positions thereof.

A games table features a unique corner assembly in which upper and lower corner members respectively embrace about upper and lower edges of an elongated perimeter frame member of the table and are clamped together to secure the frame member in place. Matable male and female features on the corner assemblies also enable stacking of two table top units to enable convenient switching of a games table between two modes of game play.

The present invention relates to a dismountable outdoor ping-pong table, comprising a surface with regulatory dimensions in a weather-resistant material formed from a one-piece body obtained by molding, with an inner reinforcement core, in the form of an attached box, in an inverted arrangement, on a supporting structure.

Said one-piece body is formed by two parts (19a,19b), which are superimposed on the mentioned supporting structure, facing and abutting one another by means of one of their edges, said two parts being juxtaposed on a central crosspiece (12) and being fixed to said supporting structure by screwing.

• 2.1 Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine einfach und kostengünstig herstellbare, kompakte und einfach zu handhabende Einrichtung zum Verbinden von Tischtennisplatten anzugeben, die es insbesondere gestattet, die Tischtennisplatten in demontiertem Zustand ohne Gefahr von Beschädigungen vertikal zu lagern und zu verschieben und im aufgebauten Zustand die Netzhalterung einfach und sicher zu befestigen.
• 2.2 Erfindungsgemäß gelingt die Lösung der Aufgabe dadurch, dass an zu verbindenden Rändern der Tischtennisplatten korrespondierende Verbindungselemente befestigt sind, wobei die Verbindungselemente Hinterschneidungen aufweisen und die Hinterschneidungen korrespondierender Verbindungselemente ineinander fügbar sind.
• 2.3 Die Erfindung betrifft eine Einrichtung zum Verbinden von Tischtennisplatten eines Tischtennistisches.

A floating platform for playing table ball games in aquatic environment, such as a pool. The floating platform comprises a layered structure of which the lower layer is made of foamed or other low-density floatable material. The upper face is made of Formica or any other smooth layer of hard veneer providing an upper surface on which the ball will bounce properly and is attached to the lower layer. The platform may be anchored using retaining rope. A net may be stretched across the upper surface and a game of Ping Pong (table tennis) may be played in the pool. By installing a rail around the upper surface, and by providing holes to receive balls, the platform can be modified to serve as a play table for the snooker game in aquatic environment.
