MULTI PURPOSE TABLE

TECHNICAL FIELD

The invention relates to tables that integrate, within the same table, a dinner table, used in the furniture sector and on which desired items are placed and kept, and a billiards table.

The invention relates in particular to a multi-purpose table embodiment on which food is served when required and which enables billiards to be played when needed; which comprises a bottom slab positioned on feet and has a depth enabling billiards playing and which forms an area of movement for the balls and at least one top slab which causes the said table to become a dinner table and which is closed on the said bottom slab.

STATE OF THE ART

Along with the passage of mankind to modern life tables have become indispensable elements in homes. Tables, which are indispensable both for decorative and for functional purposes, can be found in numerous different constructions and shapes today. This variety of tables enables users to select the table which best suits their needs and satisfy such needs fully. As with every product produced in the furniture sector today, providing a multi-purpose use for tables as well carries great importance. Along with the requirement to use homes, cafes, and restaurants, which are living spaces, for multiple purposes, furniture have also started to be produced to be multi-purpose to suit such spaces. Especially billiards tables and similar tables for sporting purposes are desired to be used both at homes and in cafes, restaurants and many such places. However, because tables are used separately, either as a table or for playing billiards, in such spaces they take up a lot of space and this causes loss to the business owner. Customers do not prefer the site because it does not have available space or looks crowded.

Customers prefer other sites in this case and additionally, business owners are put to loss because they purchase a separate table for serving food and a separate table for billiards playing.

With the state of the art, in order to convert a billiards table to a dining table, portable and mobile slabs are placed each time on the table. This, in turn is not practical for use.

With the state of the art, when billiards tables in use are converted to dining tables, moving and installing the portable slabs cause loss of time and installation difficulties.

With the state of the art, in order to convert a billiards table into a dining table, top slabs are taken out of where they are stocked and carried. This, in turn, causes a separate place to be taken up by top slabs within the place.

With the state of the art, when the billiards tables used are converted to dining tables, the portable slabs are easily deformed during installation. This, in turn, reduces the useful life of the table.

With the state of the art, users that convert a billiards table into a dining table get directly injured in the event they let the top slabs fall.

With the state of the art, because children and young people play the billiards game in small, narrow spaces, they become unhealthy.

With the state of the art, because apartments in houses that are living spaces are small an additional billiards table cannot be bought.

Consequently, the inadequacy of existing solutions in the present state of the art, has made it necessary to bring an improvement in the related technical field that eliminates the disadvantages of billiards tables.
