Shuffleboard court surface having multiple pimples for sliding a disc

Abstract

A molded polymeric shuffleboard court has multiple closely spaced apart primary squares containing multiple secondary squares having open center portions to form a top surface for movement of a sliding disc. The secondary squares have an upwardly directed integrally molded pimple at each corner to reduce friction caused by the sliding disc.

1 . A molded polymeric shuffleboard court comprising a top surface configured as a grid, the grid structure substantially consisting of multiple closely spaced apart primary squares, each primary square consisting of multiple juxtaposed secondary squares, each secondary square having four corners with an open center portion, a raised pimple integrally molded at all four corners of each secondary square whereby there is decreased friction generated by a disc sliding over the top surface.  
   
   
       2 . The molded polymeric shuffleboard court improvement according to  claim 1 , wherein the polymer is polypropylene.  
   
   
       3 . The molded polymeric shuffleboard court according to  claim 1 , wherein nine primary squares are molded together as an integral piece.  
   
   
       4 . The molded polymeric shuffleboard court improvement according to  claim 3 , wherein there are 81 secondary squares within each primary square.  
   
   
       5 . A molded polymeric shuffleboard court top surface comprising: 
 a grid structure formed by mechanically joining multiple molded together primary squares with multiple secondary squares within each primary square, the secondary squares having an upwardly raised pimple molded as an integral portion at each corner of the secondary square throughout the shuffleboard court top surface to reduce friction generated by a disc sliding over the top surface.    
   
   
       6 . A molded polymeric shuffleboard court top surface comprising: 
 a grid structure having side edges, the side edges enclosing multiple juxtaposed surface configurations, each square configuration having corners containing an integrally molded upwardly directed pimple.    
   
   
       7 . The molded polymeric shuffleboard court top surface according to  claim 6 , wherein the polymer is polypropylene.  
   
   
       8 . The molded polymeric shuffleboard court top surface according to  claim 6 , wherein there are 81 secondary squares within each primary square.
