Modular beer pong table constructed of easily interchangeable modules

摘要

A modular beer pong table comprising a plurality of planar members. Each planar member having the ability to connect to any other planar member indiscriminately by a unique mechanism that employs an alternating pattern of protrusions which can mate with any other similar set of alternating protrusions. The mating protrusions providing for a strong joint and easy assembly. The planar members along with cap-like members combine to form a briefcase-like assembly for easy transportability and storability. The briefcase-like assembly further being able to retain two specialized stands which can be used to elevate the modular beer pong table during use. The modular beer pong table having the ability to float on water. Additional planar members of a modular nature that facilitate multiple concurrent beer pong game sessions. One embodiment employing the unique method of connecting modules for use in a toy construction set.

主权项

1. A modular beer pong table, comprising:
a. at least two planar members wherein at least one of said planar members further comprises a triangular formation of circular depressions on a major face; b. at least one set of diagonally opposed protrusions protruding from at least one edge of all of said planar members as a means for temporarily connecting said planar members in a manner that geometrically restricts the degree of freedom of said planar members, with respect to each other, to translation only along a single axis, and said means being equally functional when one of said planar members is flipped with respect to another of said planar members from an initially functional orientation; and c. at least one cap-like member having geometry that is complementary to the geometry of said planar members as a means for temporarily connecting said cap-like member with at least two of said planar members in a manner such that the major faces of said planar members are parallel,whereby allowing for said modular beer pong table to be assembled to a size determined by the user by connecting two or more said planar members with reasonable disregard to orientation, and whereby allowing for said modular beer pong table to be disassembled from a table-like configuration and reassembled to a compact form using said cap-like member for easy transportation and storage, and whereby allowing for a user to be assisted in placing cups in a manner consistent with the standards of beer pong gameplay, and whereby the cups are reasonably restrained during gameplay.
