[0002] A pool table is a table used for playing billiards games such as French billiards, American pool, snooker, or various other games. A pool table typically includes a flat surface called the table top, which is covered with cloth and surrounded by cushioning pads that form the perimeter of the playing surface. The table top is located on top of the base, so it is higher than the supporting surface, such as the floor. For a pool table to function properly, it is important that the table top forms a level surface so that the ball can roll smoothly and continuously on the table. In some cases, the table top may not be level due to how it is positioned on the base. In other cases, the table top itself may have concave or convex bends. Removing the table top from the base to fix these problems can be time-consuming. Therefore, improvements in this area are needed. Summary of the Invention

[0029] To facilitate an understanding of the principles of this disclosure, reference will now be made to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings, and these embodiments will be described using specific language. However, it should be understood that this is not intended to limit the scope of this disclosure, and some changes and further modifications in the illustrated apparatus, as well as some further applications of the principles of this disclosure shown therein, are things that would normally occur to those skilled in the art to which this disclosure pertains.

[0030] In this specification, directional terms such as forward, backward, top, and bottom are used with reference to the specific embodiments shown for ease of understanding. It should be understood that these terms are not intended to be limiting.

[0031] The disclosed tabletop leveling system allows users to adjust the tabletop of a pool table to achieve a horizontal position on the table frame. The system utilizes different mechanisms to adjust the center and perimeter of the tabletop. At the center, the central leveling assembly utilizes a leveling screw and a leveling plate. The leveling screw supports the tabletop to a bracket on the table frame. A T-shaped cylindrical nut engages with a connector screw, embedding into the tabletop and accommodating the threaded portion of the leveling screw. The leveling screw also includes a flange extending around its body. The flange supports the leveling screw to the bracket. If it is necessary to raise the center of the tabletop, a leveling plate can be inserted between the bracket and the flange. The leveling plate includes a groove and a seat. The groove allows the leveling plate to slide onto the axis of the leveling screw. The seat receives a portion of the flange to fix the plate's position relative to the leveling screw.

[0032] The perimeter leveling system includes a perimeter leveling assembly. This assembly typically consists of bolts and shims. The shims are coupled to the top of the bolts and support the tabletop. The shims are coupled to the bolts via ball joints that allow the shims to pivot to a certain extent. This pivoting allows the shims to remain flush with the tabletop regardless of the bolt's orientation. The bolts are screwed into frame nuts welded to the pool table frame. To adjust the tabletop height, the user can further screw the bolts in or out of the frame nuts. The leveling assembly also includes locknuts. To lock the leveling assembly in place, the user can tighten the locknuts along the bolts onto the frame.

[0042] Figure 6A tabletop leveling screw 170 is shown. The tabletop leveling screw 170 includes a leveling screw head 171 and a leveling screw body 172. The leveling screw head 171 includes a shoulder 173. A leveling screw flange 174 is located around the leveling screw body 172 and spaced apart from the leveling screw head 171. The diameter of the leveling screw flange 174 is larger than the diameter of the leveling screw body 172, but may be smaller than the diameter of at least a portion of the leveling screw head 171. The leveling screw flange 174 divides the leveling screw body 172 into a proximal portion 175 between the leveling screw head 171 and the leveling screw flange 174, and a distal portion 177 extending between the ends of the leveling screw flange 174 and the leveling screw body 172. At least a portion of the distal portion 177 of the leveling screw body 172 may be threaded to allow the platform leveling screw to be threaded into the connector screw recess 169 to connect the platform leveling screw 170 to the platform connector 160.

[0043] Figure 7 A tabletop adjusting plate 180 is shown. In the illustrated embodiment, the tabletop adjusting plate 180 includes a rectangular tabletop adjusting plate body 182. In other embodiments, the tabletop adjusting plate body 182 may be other suitable shapes, such as triangular, square, or circular. An adjusting plate groove 183 extends through the thickness of the adjusting plate body 182 and extends from one edge of the adjusting plate body 182 into its interior. An adjusting plate seat 184 is disposed in the adjusting plate body at the end of the adjusting plate groove 183 such that the adjusting plate seat 184 surrounds at least a portion of the adjusting plate groove 183. The adjusting plate seat 184 only partially penetrates the adjusting plate body 182. In the illustrated embodiment, the adjusting plate seat 184 has a circular shape corresponding to the shape of the leveling screw flange 174, thereby allowing the leveling screw flange 174 to be fitted within the adjusting plate seat 184.

[0044] Figure 8 A tabletop leveling plate 180 is shown that mates with the tabletop leveling screw 170. As shown, the tabletop leveling plate 180 is positioned relative to the leveling screw 170 such that the proximal portion 175 of the leveling screw body 172 is located within the leveling plate groove 183. This causes the leveling screw flange 174 to be located within the leveling plate seat 184 on the top surface of the leveling plate body 182. The leveling screw head 171 is located on the opposite side of the leveling plate body 182 relative to the leveling screw flange 174.

[0045] In a particular embodiment, when the platform panel 150 is positioned on the base frame 110, the platform panel connector assembly 160 can be used to assist in adjusting the central portion of the platform panel 150. For example... Figure 9As shown, each support bracket 145 on the internal support frame 142 can receive a tabletop connector 160. A leveling screw head 171 is located on a first side of the support bracket 145, and a leveling screw body 172 extends through a support bracket opening 193 provided in the support bracket 145. A threaded portion of the distal end 177 of the leveling screw body 172 is located within a connector screw recess 169 to mate the leveling screw with the tabletop connector 160.

[0046] like Figure 10A and 10B As shown, the adjustable plate 180 can be used to move the table panel 150 up and down to ensure that the table panel 150 is level. Figure 10A In the middle, the platform 180 is located on the support bracket 145, such that the proximal portion 175 of the leveling screw body 172 is located within the leveling plate groove 183. By rotating the leveling screw 170 out of the connector screw recess 169, the leveling screw 170 is loosened relative to the platform connector 160, and the platform 150 can be pushed upward.

[0047] exist Figure 10B In this configuration, the tabletop adjustment plate 180 is removed, so that the tabletop adjustment plate 180 is no longer located on the support bracket 145. The leveling screw 170 can be tightened relative to the tabletop connector 160, so that the leveling screw extends further into the connector screw recess 169, thereby pulling the tabletop 150 downward.

[0048] Figure 11 A tabletop perimeter leveling assembly 200 is shown. The tabletop perimeter leveling assembly 200 includes a perimeter leveling bolt 210. The perimeter leveling bolt 210 includes a perimeter bolt head 212 and a perimeter bolt body 214. The perimeter bolt body 214 is threaded. A perimeter bolt ball joint 216 is located at the distal end 215 of the perimeter bolt body 214, opposite the end having the perimeter bolt head 212. A bolt washer 220 may be located on the distal end 215 of the perimeter bolt body 214. The bolt washer 220 is located around the ball joint 216 and has a tapered shape such that the diameter of the bolt washer 220 increases with distance from the perimeter leveling bolt 210. In some embodiments, the ball joint 216 may have a threaded portion, and the bolt washer 220 may be threaded to the perimeter leveling bolt 210 at the ball joint 216. In some embodiments, the bolt washer 220 may be made of a plastic material. In other embodiments, the bolt washer 220 may be made of a polymer material or metal.

[0049] Figure 12 The working status of the leveling component 200 around the table panel is displayed. Figure 12The illustrated embodiment shows a tabletop perimeter leveling assembly 200 mounted on one of the longitudinal frames 112 as a representative example. However, it should be recognized that the tabletop perimeter leveling assembly 200 can also be used with the transverse frame 122.

[0050] The tabletop perimeter leveling assembly 200 is located within one of the perimeter supports 118 extending from the longitudinal frame 112. The perimeter support 118 includes a leveling surface 119 located below and substantially parallel to the top surface 114 of the longitudinal frame. A peripheral bolt body 214 extends through a leveling surface opening in the leveling surface 119, such that a ball joint 216 is located on the top side of the leveling surface 119, while a peripheral bolt head 212 is located on the bottom side of the leveling surface 119.

[0051] A frame nut 238 is located on the top side of the leveling surface 119 and receives a ball joint 216 and a peripheral bolt body 214. In some embodiments, the frame nut 238 may be welded directly to the leveling surface 119. A lock nut 236 is located around the peripheral bolt body 214 and can be tightened to contact the bottom side of the leveling surface 119. In this position, the peripheral leveling bolt 210 is positioned such that the bolt pad 220 contacts the underside of the longitudinal frame top surface 114. The ball joint 216 allows the bolt pad 220 to pivot to a degree such that when the platform 150 is on the base frame 110, the bolt pad 220 is flush with the platform 150 regardless of the bolt orientation.

[0052] To adjust the height of the tabletop 150 along the perimeter of the base frame 110, the user can tighten or loosen the peripheral leveling bolts 210 relative to the frame nuts 238. When the lock nut 236 is on the leveling surface 119, as the peripheral leveling bolts 210 are tightened into the frame nuts 238, the bolt washers 220 move upward, thereby pushing the tabletop 150 upward. As the peripheral leveling bolts 210 are loosened from the frame nuts 238, the peripheral leveling bolts 210 and bolt washers 220 move downward, thereby moving the tabletop downward.

[0053] like Figure 13 As shown, to lock the tabletop 150 at the desired level, the tabletop bolt 252 can be screwed into the tabletop cylindrical nut 250, which passes through the top surface 114 of the longitudinal frame and is embedded in the tabletop 150. When the peripheral leveling bolt 210 is positioned to place the tabletop 150 in the desired position, the tabletop bolt 252 is tightened into the tabletop cylindrical nut 250 to secure the periphery of the tabletop 150 to the base frame 110. In some embodiments, the bolts inserted into the tabletop cylindrical nut 250 are standard 3 / 8-24 UNF bolts. However, in other embodiments, other suitable bolts can be used to secure the tabletop to the desired level around the periphery of the base frame 110.

[0054] Although this disclosure has been detailed and described in the accompanying drawings and foregoing description, it should be regarded as illustrative rather than restrictive. It should be understood that only preferred embodiments have been shown and described, and it is intended to protect all changes, equivalents and modifications that fall within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the following claims.
