Abstract: A novel table type tennis game apparatus comprising a base section which is formed by a center plate and two end plates assembled and held together by vertical walls from which a ping pong ball might ricochet during playing. Each of the flat plates forming the base section is foam molded from a thermoplastic material and includes a reinforcing lattice type rib construction and integrally molded slots which cooperate with tabs on the side walls to hold the game apparatus together. A net connects to and extends between the side walls and includes an elastic portion by which tension is applied to the net and the side walls.

Abstract: The invention relates to a game table having first and second flat surface halves attached in an edge-to-edge relationship to define a flat horizontal playing surface. Each of the flat playing surface halves is provided with a pair of spaced apart slots at each side edge thereof, the slots on the first table half being aligned with the slots on the second table half. There is provided first and second longitudinally extending vertical walls. Each of the walls being supported vertically by a pair of aligned slots on the first and second table halves. An upstanding barrier extends transversely across the playing surface at the edge-to-edge attachment of the table halves. Each of the table halves is provided with indicia defining a service area for playing the game of table tennis.
