Abstract: A device for setting up a game with a ball, the device being reversibly dismountable so that it can be assembled and/or played with anywhere on an existing plate surface. The device includes at least one ball clamping unit with a first side wall, a second side wall, and a ball admission opening which is arranged between the first side wall and the second side wall. The ball is clamped in the at least one ball clamping unit so that the ball remains on the existing plate surface when the ball enters the ball admission opening. The at least one ball clamping unit is detachably fastened to the existing plate surface in an assembled state.

Abstract: An outdoor kickball billiards gaming apparatus including a perimetric frame erectable atop a border of a rectangular polymeric mat, said frame thereby enclosing an area of game-play, said frame including a plurality of polymeric cushions thereupon disposed within the area of game-play, said frame interconnected at each corner by each of a plurality of corner pockets interconnectable cornerwise into the frame, and a pair of side pockets interconnectable medially into the frame oppositely disposed across a tangential axis of said frame, wherein each of a plurality of balls, voluble upon the polymeric mat, is directable into each of the respective corner and side pockets, whereby a cue ball is kickable to impact each of a plurality of game balls for capture within each of the plurality of corner and alternately side pockets, and a game of outdoor kickball billiards is playable thereby.

Abstract: An integrated circuit device includes a plurality of fins on an upper surface of a semiconductor substrate and extending in a first direction, a device isolation insulating film placed between the fins, a gate electrode extending in a second direction crossing the first direction on the insulating film; and an insulating film insulating the fin from the gate electrode. In a first region where a plurality of the fins are consecutively arranged, an upper surface of the device isolation insulating film is located at a first position below an upper end of the fin. In a second region located in the second direction as viewed from the first region, the upper surface of the device isolation insulating film is located at a second position above the upper end of the fin. In the second region, the device isolation insulating film covers entirely a side surface of the fin.

Abstract: A game is played on a billiard type table using balls with indicia of chess pieces. A cue stick is used to strike the balls following rules of movement that vary with the indicia on the ball to be moved. Game rules control movement and pocketing of balls are representative of the movement and capture of chess pieces, but are modified for use on a billiard table. The game is also adaptable to other playing surfaces including electronic displays.

Abstract: The game is a putting pool game played by a plurality of players. The putting pool game includes a game frame, a plurality of ball receiving holes, at least two sets of balls where each set of balls is a different color, at least one striker ball and a plurality of ball striking clubs. Each of the players is assigned a particular set of balls. The game is started by dumping the sets of balls out of a storage bucket into an open area inside of the game frame. One player places the striker ball at one end of the game frame for a first shot and each player takes alternating shots by hitting the striker ball into his particular set of balls in an attempt to project his set of balls through the ball receiving holes.

Abstract: A portable pool/golf game includes a plurality of rails each having first and second rail ends and a plurality of ball pockets, each ball pocket being arranged between adjacent ones of the plurality of said rails. A plurality of male/female connectors couple the plurality of rails and the plurality of ball pockets together. The connected plurality of rails and plurality of ball pockets define a boundary. A playing surface member has a top surface, a bottom surface and lateral edges. The boundary formed by the plurality of rails and the plurality of ball pockets is arranged at the lateral edges on the top surface of the playing surface member. A fastener is arranged on a bottom surface of the plurality of the rails to secure the boundary to the top surface of the playing surface member.

Abstract: Disclosed is a knockdown golf training site in the form of a billiard table formed from a plurality of frame members assembled with a plurality of side and corner ball cavities and a ground carpet onto which the assembled frame members and ball cavities are detachably attached. The knockdown golf training site can be easily disassembled and packed in the ground carpet to be conveniently stored on a car, so that it can be carried to be assembled for use outdoors at any time either for practicing putting golf balls into holes or for conducting a billiard game with golf balls and clubs.

Abstract: The Cue Putter is unique golf club, far superior in design to existing putters. It is designed to maximize a golfer's putting accuracy and consistency. The Cue Putter consists of a wooden club shaft, a guide block, rubber "O"-rings, and a transparent Plexiglas clubhead. The Cue Putter is designed to be used while kneeling on the green, with the putter's shaft aligned and used parallel to the putting surface. The Cue-Putter is gripped with one hand, and the stroke is executed primarily with the fingers and wrist instead of the arms and shoulders used with traditional putters. This improves the golfer's putting "touch" tremendously, because the innate precision of the hand and fingers cannot be matched by the larger muscle groups of the arms and shoulders. The Cue Putter also provides an ideal, "real time" view of the slope and undulation of the green, instead of a vague, "mental snapshot" taken while the golfer crouches down yards behind the ball prior to assuming his stance.

Abstract: A carpet pool game and method of playing the same employing three different sets of game balls, mallets and a detachably interconnected assembly of side boards and goal boards including an integrally formed ramp structure preventing game balls from coming to rest too close to the outer boundary of the game.

Abstract: Applicant's invention includes an apparatus for playing a game. Applicant's apparatus includes an assembly of ball ports and rails which, when assembled and laid on a floor or ground surface, resembles a billiard table. A mat of indoor/outdoor carpet underlies the space defined by the assembly of rails and ball ports. Golf balls are used in similar fashion to billiard balls, with a golf putter being used to put the balls into play. The game can be played using Applicant's apparatus either indoors or outdoors, anywhere where a fairly flat and level surface can accommodate the assembled apparatus.
