Claim 1
Independent Claim
180 words
A knockdown recreation table which comprises a disc member carrying a friction playing surface thereon, a plurality of Arcuate segment assemblies arranged secured removably to the disc along the peripheral edge thereof, said segment assemblies disposed spaced one from the other on the disc and adjacent the periphery thereof, said segment assemblies each including cushion means secured thereto and directed toward said playing surface, demicylindrical cup means arranged adjacent said disc between said segment assemblies and opening toward said playing surface, said cup means comprises a demicylinder having an open top, an arcuate vertically disposed wall and a horizontally disposed semicircular base, the ends of said arcuate wall terminating at a vertical plane common to the edge of the base and means removably coupling said cup means with said segment assemblies adjacent thereto, whereby in assembled condition, a round pocket billiard table is formed with the cup means defining the pocket thereof yet said segment assemblies and cup means being demountable from said disc to provide unobstructed lateral access to the playing surface to permit use thereof for other purposes.
