A holding device (4) for a net (6) of a table-tennis table with two playing area leaves (1, 2) and an underframe (3), wherein the holding apparatus (4) includes two holding units (5) which can be arranged on opposite sides of the two playing area leaves (1, 2), and wherein each of the holding units (5) can be attached on at least one of the playing area leaves (1, 2) or on the substructure (3) and can hold one end of the net (6) and wherein the holding apparatus (4) includes at least one blocking means (7) which is arranged on one of the holding units (5) and, in the mounted state of the holding device (4), can be transferred into a blocking position in which it abuts against the under surfaces of the two playing area leaves (1, 2).

The present invention provides a variable direction surface with various angles and direction causing controlled disruption in the standard flight of a ball in play. The change in the ball flight will be used to funnel the ball to a specific area to minimize reach of activity for participants with limited range and mobility to expanding reach and creating unpredictable direction change for advances skilled participants. The flexibility allows ball delivery to any desired location depending on the abilities of the participants or the required outcome of participants program.

A foosball table safety accessory is disclosed which includes a conical frustum shaped sleeve, a cylindrical nut and a cylindrical sleeve which forms a modified foosball rod bearing nut. The modified foosball rod bearing nut is attachable to and removable from side walls of the foosball table. The cylindrical nut has a through bore with internal threading throughout the length of the through bore. In the conical frustum shaped sleeve, one end is broader than the other side. The cylindrical nut is attached to the broad side of the conical frustum shaped sleeve. The cylindrical sleeve is attached to the narrow side of the conical frustum shaped sleeve. The accessory or protective sleeve would encapsulate the free end of a foosball rod and allows the foosball rod to freely move back and forth, yet provides for the sleeve to be fixed. Overall, a new type of bearing nut together with a polycarbonate tubing or sleeve enhance the safety of the foosball table during use. The accessory would enhance safety by preventing injuries by securing the rod within the sleeve so as the moving rod does not inadvertently hit a bystander. Safety is also enhanced since the rod is not protruding from the sleeve.

A table tennis collection system is provided. The system may utilize a collection element having a horizontally elongate shape with a first end and an opposing second end. The collection element may have a first net element extending from the first end to the second end. The system may further utilize a first collection pocket disposed at the first end and a second collection pocket disposed at the second end. The first collection pocket may have a second net element and the second collection pocket may have a third net element. The system may further utilize a first support element disposed between the first collection pocket and the collection element at the first end and a second support element disposed between the second collection pocket and the collection element at the second end.

A table tennis apparatus including a table top made out of a fiberglass reinforced structural material (FRSM). The table tennis apparatus includes a pair of tables. Each table includes a table top having a three-layered composite panel made up of FRSM. The table top receives aluminum plates at its sides. Further, the table top receives mounting brackets at its bottom surface. The mounting brackets include male members that extend perpendicularly to the mounting brackets and fold over the mounting brackets. The table top rests at a height from the ground and allows its top surface to act as a playing surface for playing table tennis.
