Abstract: A game table fabric to be applied to the game table bed of a game table is provided, wherein the game table fabric comprises a woolen fabric having a nonpermanent releasable adhesive applied to a back side of the woolen fabric so that the game table fabric may be directly applied to the game table bed and the game table fabric of the present invention is readily repositionable during installation and removable after an extended period of use. The nonpermanent releasable adhesive is formed of a low tack polymeric material which is suitable for releasably adhering the game table fabric to the game table bed. By applying the game table fabric of the present invention directly to the game table bed, the use of additional glues or adhesives to adhere the game table fabric to the game table bed is essentially eliminated.

Abstract: A system is provided for covering the horizontal playing surface of a pool table and the elongate rail elements mounted along the edge of the pool table. A cloth cover is wrapped about an inside cushioned edge of the rail element. An upper groove is formed longitudinally in an upper surface of the rail element for receiving an upper section of the rail cover and a first spline is received in a relatively tight fit in the upper groove to hold the upper section of the rail cover therein. A lower groove is formed longitudinally in a bottom surface of the rail element and an elongate channel member is received by and attached within the lower groove for receiving a lower section of the rail cover. A second spline is received in a relatively tight fit in the channel member to hold the lower section of the rail cover therein. A cloth cover extends across the playing surface of the pool table and includes a side portion that hangs over an edge of the playing surface.
