The Ping-Pong Table / Pool Table Conversion Mechanism

The Ping-Pong / Pool Table Conversion Mechanism combines the two games into a one piece game table. The table tennis playing surface folds lengthwise and stows cleanly under the sides of the pool table. Most homes do not have sufficient space to accommodate both tables, so with this space saving design families can enjoy the fun of both games. This design was created by students Kevin Anderson, Brandon Breting, and Ryan Hoffman in winter 2003, instructors: Professor Sridhar Kota and Teaching Assistant Charles Kim.
