Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to a hockey playing table
device. More particularly, the present invention relates to a
hockey playing tabled device which simulates a real hockey playing
field in order to provide a sound while a hockey disk hits a
blocking plate.
[0002] A conventional hockey playing table device has a main table,
a score counter disposed on the main table, a plurality of
pedestals connected to the main table, a first contacting frame
surrounding an upper periphery of the main table, a second
contacting frame surrounding the first contacting frame, and a CPU
(central processing unit) connected to a horn, the first contacting
frame and the second contacting frame electrically. When a hockey
disk hits the first contacting frame, the first contacting frame
will contact the second contacting frame. Then a short circuit will
occur. Therefore, a signal will be sent to the CPU and the CPU
sends another signal to the horn in order to produce a loud sound.
If the hockey disk hits the first contacting frame strongly, the
first contacting frame will be connected to the second contacting
frame, and the loud sound will be produced for a long period of
time. Furthermore, it is difficult to assemble the CPU, the horn,
the first contacting frame and the second contacting frame
lectrically.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0003] An object of the present invention is to provide a hockey
playing table device which has a plurality of blocking plates and
each of the blocking plates has various number of through holes in
order to produce various sound while at least a hockey disk hits
the blocking plates.
[0004] Another object of the present invention is to provide a
hockey playing table device which has a plurality of blocking
plates, a plurality of echo tubes, and each of the echo tubes
disposed beneath the corresponding blocking plate in order to echo
and amplify various sound while at least a hockey disk hits the
blocking plates.
[0005] Accordingly, a hockey playing table device comprises a main
table, a score counter disposed on the main table, a plurality of
pedestals connected to the main table, a pair of goals disposed on
the main table, a pair of hitting control devices connected to the
main table, and a plurality of hockey disks placed on an upper face
of the main table. A plurality of blocking plates are disposed on
an edge of the upper face of the main table. A periphery panel
encloses an outer periphery of the main table. A rail frame is
disposed on the periphery panel to cover the blocking plates. Each
of the blocking plates has a threaded hole. Each of th blocking
plates has various number of through holes.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0012] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, a hockey playing table device 100
comprises a main table 20, a score counter 10 disposed on the main
table 20, a plurality of pedestals 30 connected to the main table
20, a pair of goals 70 disposed on the main table 20, a pair of
hitting control devices 12 connected to the main table 20, and a
plurality of hockey disks 11 placed on an upper face 21 of the main
table 20.
[0013] A plurality of blocking plates 40 are disposed on an edge of
the upper face 21 of the main table 20.
[0014] A periphery panel 22 encloses an outer periphery of the main
table 20.
[0015] A rail frame 23 is disposed on the periphery panel 22 to
cover the blocking plates 40.
[0016] Each of the blocking plates 40 has a threaded hole 41 to
receive a bolt 50.
[0017] Each of the blocking plates 40 has various number of through
holes 42 in order to produce various sound while at least one
hockey disk 11 hits the blocking plates 40.
[0018] It is an option to provide the blocking plates 40 with
various lengths.
[0019] It is an option to replace the blocking plates 40 with metal
tubes or nonmetal tubes.
[0020] Referring to FIG. 4, an additional pad 43 is disposed
between one of the blocking plates 40 and the upper face 21 of the
main table 20. When one hockey disk 11 hits the blocking plate 40,
the sound will be clear.
[0021] Referring to FIG. 5, an additional echo tube 60 is disposed
beneath th pad 43 and inserted in the main table 20.
[0022] It is an option to replace the echo tube 60 with a sound
amplifying device such as a loudspeaker.
[0023] The invention is not limited to the above embodiment but
various modification thereof may be made. Further, various changes
in form and detail may be made without departing from the scope of
the invention.
