Inflatable pong table

Abstract

An inflatable pong table comprises a substantially hollow inflatable member. The inflatable member may be formed with an opposing pair of end recesses and having an intermediate recess interposed between the end recesses. The pong table may further comprise a pair of end inserts that are removably insertable within the end recesses. Each of the end inserts preferably includes a plurality of apertures formed therein. Each of the apertures may be sized and configured to receive the base of a beverage container. An intermediate insert is preferably configured to be removably insertable into the intermediate recess. The intermediate insert is preferably formed with a substantially hard and planar upper surface to facilitate bouncing of a ball thereagainst.

1 . An inflatable pong table, comprising:
 a substantially hollow inflatable member having an opposing pair of end recesses and an intermediate recess interposed between the end recesses;   a pair of end inserts disposed within the end recesses, each of the end inserts having at least one aperture formed therein; and   an intermediate insert disposed within the intermediate recess.   
   
   
       2 . The inflatable pong table of  claim 1  wherein each of the end inserts has a plurality of apertures formed therein, each one of the apertures being sized and configured to receive a beverage container. 
   
   
       3 . The inflatable pong table of  claim 1  wherein the at least one aperture is triangularly shaped. 
   
   
       4 . The inflatable pong table of  claim 1  wherein the inflatable member is rectangularly shaped. 
   
   
       5 . The inflatable pong table of  claim 1  wherein the intermediate and end inserts are sized and configured to be removably insertable into respective ones of the intermediate and end recesses. 
   
   
       6 . The inflatable pong table of  claim 1  wherein the intermediate and end recesses are rectangularly shaped. 
   
   
       7 . The inflatable pong table of  claim 1  further comprising a valve assembly mounted to the inflatable member. 
   
   
       8 . The inflatable pong table of  claim 1  wherein:
 each of the intermediate and end recesses defines a recess depth;   the recess depth being less than a thickness of the corresponding intermediate and end inserts that are insertable into the intermediate and end recesses.   
   
   
       9 . The inflatable pong table of  claim 1  wherein each of the intermediate and end inserts include substantially planar upper surfaces. 
   
   
       10 . The inflatable pong table of  claim 1  wherein the intermediate and end inserts are formed of acrylic material. 
   
   
       11 . The inflatable pong table of  claim 2  wherein:
 the plurality of apertures are formed within each one of the end inserts in a triangular arrangement;   a pair of the apertures being disposed on opposing sides of a base of the triangular arrangement.   
   
   
       12 . An inflatable pong table, comprising:
 a substantially hollow inflatable member having an opposing pair of end recesses and an intermediate recess interposed between the end recesses;   a pair of end inserts disposed within the end recesses, each of the end inserts having at least one marking configured to designate placement of a beverage container; and
 an intermediate insert disposed within the intermediate recess. 
   
   
   
       13 . The inflatable pong table of claim wherein the inflatable member is rectangularly shaped. 
   
   
       14 . The inflatable pong table of claim wherein the intermediate and end inserts are sized and configured to be removably insertable into respective ones of the intermediate and end recesses. 
   
   
       15 . The inflatable pong table of claim wherein the intermediate and end recesses are rectangularly shaped. 
   
   
       16 . The inflatable pong table of claim further comprising a valve assembly mounted to the inflatable member. 
   
   
       17 . The inflatable pong table of claim wherein:
 each of the intermediate and end recesses defines a recess depth;   the recess depth being less than a thickness of the corresponding intermediate and end inserts that are insertable into the intermediate and end recesses.   
   
   
       18 . The inflatable pong table of claim wherein each of the intermediate and end inserts include substantially planar upper surfaces. 
   
   
       19 . The inflatable pong table of claim wherein the intermediate and end inserts are formed of acrylic material.
