20090020953 | Fencing floor - An aluminum floor for fencing has an improved friction surface with traction-enhancing grooves and is configured to reduce noise. Aluminum extrusions forming the floor define a flat surface but with series of parallel grooves separated by non-grooved spaces. In a preferred embodiment the grooves are essentially square cut. The grooves and spaces between the series of grooves are configured so as to allow sliding on the floor with the essentially flat soles of a user's fencing shoes when desired, but so as to grip the soles with significant friction when the shoe is heavily weighted causing the sole to deform down into the grooves. The fencing floor is intended to lie over an existing floor, as a series of easily connected floor sections. Rubbery sheet material is secured to the bottom of the fencing floor, preferably in transverse strips, directly beneath each joint and preferably at additional locations. When the fencing floor is used over a hard surface such as concrete, the rubber strips prevent the metallic clanging noise typical of aluminum fencing floors in use. | 01-22-2009 |
20090091086 | Game table with a level indicating device - Certain game tables requiring a level playing surface for an unbiased playing experience. However, due to physical motion and natural settling most game tables pitch and roll change over time, thereby developing a table bias. Most of the time a player would not know if and when a table bias was affecting their game. Therefore a player could never be sure that they were engaged in an entirely fair competition. This is very unsatisfactory. I propose incorporating a level indicating device into a game table so that a player will always be assured that the playing surface is in an equilibrium orientation. Alternatively if bias were to occur it could be easily identified and corrected through use of the level-indicating device. | 04-09-2009 |
