Abstract

A ventilated gaming table assembly includes a gaming table component, a rail component and a plurality of electric ventilating fan subassemblies mounted about the periphery of the table and operable selectively by individual players.

Claims

1. A ventilated gaming table assembly comprising in combination:

a ) a gaming table component,

b) a rail component,

c) the rail component being supportably superimposable on the table component to provide a gaming table assembly having a plurality of peripherally spaced playing stations,

d) a plurality of electric ventilating fan subassemblies,

e) a plurality of mounting means mounting the fan subassemblies, on the table one at each station, and

f) an electric circuit including the fan subassemblies and electric switch means arranged for selective operation of the same by individual players,

g) the electric switch means comprising a plurality of electric switches arranged in parallel circuit arrangement, one at each playing station.

2. The ventilated gaming table assembly of claim 1 wherein the rail component comprises a length of structural material contoured and dimensioned for superimposition on the table component.

3. The ventilated gaming table assembly of claim 1 wherein at each playing station the gaming table component and the rail component are cut away to form registering recesses providing a seat for the fan subassembly mounting means.

4. The ventilated gaming table assembly of claim 3 wherein each electric ventilating fan subassembly comprises an electric fan, and bracket mounting means mounting the same in the registering recesses.

5. The ventilated gaming table assembly of claim 1 including a master switch in series circuit relationship in the electric circuit.
