Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of billiard table technology, specifically to a composite structure billiard table armrest. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, most pool table armrests are composed of three types:
[0003] 1. The most common method is to use natural solid wood for the armrests, or to use natural solid wood armrests covered with fire-resistant boards. This method is used for mid-to-high-end billiard tables. This method is predominantly used for American pool, English snooker, Chinese pool, and carom billiards. While using hardwoods and employing mature processing techniques, this method consumes a huge amount of forest resources. Hardwoods have long growth cycles, and the explosive growth of the billiards industry in the past 20 years has led to a significant increase in hardwood prices, keeping costs high. Furthermore, excessive deforestation is detrimental to current green and environmentally friendly development concepts.
[0004] 2. Made with engineered wood as the base material, primarily MDF or engineered wood panels with a fire-resistant outer layer. This method is mainly used as an additive solution for low-end products. The processing flow is simpler than solid wood armrests. While the product performance meets the basic requirements for billiard table armrests, it can only be used in the low-end market, and its lifespan is only 1 / 3 to 1 / 2 that of solid wood armrests. Similar to panel-type armrests, the lifespan of this type of billiard table armrest is greatly shortened once disassembled. Therefore, removing the armrests when replacing the tablecloth will significantly reduce its lifespan.
[0005] 3. Metal profiles as the main body, with decorative panels attached. This type primarily uses aluminum alloy or aluminum-magnesium alloy as the main substrate, produced using aluminum profile extrusion technology, with a decorative layer applied or sprayed onto the surface. This method requires extruding the entire handrail shape in one go, followed by drilling and milling the mounting holes in the metal. Because metal cutting is more difficult than bamboo and wood products, and because the profile is formed in one piece, any change in style requires a new mold. This method results in handrail products corresponding to only one type. Research and development costs are enormous, and product compatibility is poor. American pool, English snooker, Chinese billiards, carom billiards, etc., all require their own molds. Product iteration necessitates further investment in innovation. Limited style, low versatility, high product cost, and lack of market competitiveness. Utility Model Content
[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a composite structure billiard table armrest. This structure is highly versatile, has low development costs, excellent performance, is easy to process, has low product costs, and is easy to mass-produce.
[0007] A composite structure billiard table armrest includes a bottom layer, a metal base layer, a rubber edge wood, and a rubber strip. The metal base layer is connected to the bottom layer, the inner wall of the bottom layer is connected to the rubber edge wood, and the inner wall of the rubber edge wood is connected to the rubber strip.
[0008] Preferably, the metal base layer is connected to the underlying layer by an adhesive.
[0009] Preferably, the metal base layer has mounting holes, and the bottom layer has connecting holes, with bolts passing through the mounting holes and connecting to the connecting holes.
[0010] Preferably, the inner wall of the metal base layer is in contact with the glued wood.
[0011] Preferably, the metal base layer is made of carbon steel, iron, or aluminum alloy.
[0012] Preferably, the metal base layer is covered with a decorative layer.
[0013] Preferably, the decorative layer is made of solid wood veneer, artificial wood veneer, fireproof board, chemical resistant board, carbon fiber, paint, tempered glass, artificial stone, resin, acrylic, or plastic material.
[0014] Preferably, the bottom layer is made of solid wood, engineered wood, HPL, or plastic resin material.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are reflected in the following: This technical solution adopts a composite process, using a metal profile as the base layer and bamboo or artificial board as the bottom layer for the handrail. This combines the stability and rigidity of the metal profile with the easy processing and shaping properties of bamboo or artificial board. The metal profile base layer is compatible with different types of billiard tables; only the bamboo or artificial board bottom layer needs to be replaced to meet different requirements. Furthermore, because the handrail is detachable, replacing the tablecloth and disassembling the handrail greatly reduces time costs. When the adhesive strip needs to be replaced, only the adhesive edge wood connected to the bottom layer needs to be replaced, reducing maintenance and after-sales costs. This composite handrail structure has strong versatility, low development cost, excellent performance, easy processing, low product cost, and is easy to mass-produce, while also reducing the huge consumption of forest resources.
