Benefits of technology

[0006] The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a foldable casino table composing of two symmetrical halves that can be quickly set up with an octagonal table top, and using an innovative structural design that enables the casino table even folded in slim form to be free standing, so the foldable casino table can be conveniently packed away for transport or storage.
[0012] The present invention is also characterized in that two identical first transversal joists are fixed underneath the first half, and two identical second transversal joists are fixed underneath the second half, so that one end of each transversal joist can be used to support the weight of own half, and another end of the transversal joist to support the weight of the other half when the table is spanned. The two ends of the extended portion of each pair of transversal joists are pivotally jointed with two top ends of one table stand. Besides, the pair of second transversal joists is interconnected with a linker rod on the extended portion to improve the structural rigidity, which also serves as a handle bar for hand carrying when the casino table is folded up.
[0013] The present invention is also characterized in that the pair of table stands are each pivotally jointed with a pair of transversal joists on the same half, and are cross linked with each other through a pivot axis. This design allows the casino table to be easily set up with simple steps and easily packed away for storage with a small size.
[0014] Further, the bottom part of the each table stands is reinforced by two cross bars between two legs to improve the structural rigidity, and the bottom end of each table stand is slightly bent outward to improve the overall structure balance and to allow the casino table even folded in slim form to be free standing.

Problems solved by technology

Although this type of casino table is perfect for poker and other card games, it is usually not designed for knock down, so it will become a dust collector around the house in the end.

Embodiment Construction

[0022] Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, an octagonal table top comprises symmetrical first half 1 and second half 2, with the longest side adjacent to each other, two identical first transversal joist 3 and second transversal joist 4 being fixed on the underside of two halves respectively; a first table stand 5 and a second table stand 6 being connected with the two pairs of transversal joists respectively, and themselves being cross linked through another pivot axis.

[0023] The shapes of the first half 1 and the second half 2 are symmetrical, together form an octagonal table top with eight corners and breadth of 48 inches, that means the distance between any pair of two opposite sides is within the range 47-49 inches. The surface of the table top is provided with multiple trays, including a first type 11 and a second type 21, around the periphery for holding beverages or chips. The first half 1 has two lock pins 12 on two ends of the longest side, and the second half 2 has two pin holes...

Abstract

Disclosed is a foldable casino table composed of symmetrical first half and second half, together forming an octagonal table top with eight corners and a breadth of 48 inches, at least one pair of latch means being installed on the underside of the table, two pairs of transversal joists being fixed on the underside, and a pair of table stands, where the top ends of each table stand are pivotally jointed with a pair of transversal joists, and the two table stands are cross linked with each other through a pivot axis. The present design allows the casino table to be folded in half, and the casino table even folded in slim form can be free standing, which makes it convenient to transport and store the casino table.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a foldable casino table, and in particular to a sports casino table that can be folded for easy transport and storage. [0003] 2. The Related Art [0004] The conventional family type casino table has eight corners, with a breadth of 48 inches and a height of 31 inches. The casino table is usually made of wood and constructed with bolts and nuts. Although this type of casino table is perfect for poker and other card games, it is usually not designed for knock down, so it will become a dust collector around the house in the end. [0005] For the younger families that place strong emphasis on physical and economic efficiency, they prefer to create a home environment fit for modern living and with more efficient use of limited space, so they would enjoy poker or casino game at a friend's house or in a casino rather than putting one rigid casino table in their homes, but for more serious game...
