  • Patent number: 4039187
    Abstract: A game table, constructed for playing a rebound-type game using a ball and paddle, has a tabletop provided with a recessed center to present a four-sided, upwardly facing, inclined playing surface that defines a rebound zone for the ball when the latter is caused to strike thereagainst. Each quadrant of the tabletop is swingable from its game-playing, inclined position to a second position in which the playing surface thereof is horizontally disposed so that a generally uniform, planar tabletop is presented when all four quadrants of the tabletop are so positioned in order that the game table may be used as a conventional table. Each quadrant of the game table is a self-supporting unit such that the table may be separable into four independent tables for use as four distinct and independent game tables.
