  • Patent number: 8267804
    Abstract: A game table includes: a table body having two end frames; a table board rotatably connected between the two end frames, the table board having a hockey table face in which an air space is formed; an air-blowing member mounted in one of the end frames for blowing air into a pressure reservation space, after the pressure is reserved in the pressure reservation space, the air flowing into the air space and then flowing out the hockey table face through orifices thereof; and multiple flow guide units disposed in the air space to partition the air space into multiple flow ways. The flow guide units and the flow ways communicate with each other, whereby the air can uniformly flow to every part of the air space without generating turbulence and with the air pressure unified over the air space to enhance blowing effect of the hockey table face.

  • Patent number: 7458579
    Abstract: A soccer game table includes a table body having two lateral sides and two end sides which define a game space. Each lateral side is formed with at least one slide slot. A predetermined number of operation bars are fitted through the slide slots of the lateral sides of the table body. The operation bars are rotatable within the slide slots and axially movable. In addition, the operation bars are movable along the slide slots. Therefore, the driving blocks mounted on the operation bars can be driven to rotate and two-dimensionally displace. Accordingly, the ball of the soccer game in the game space can be more efficiently driven.
