Abstract
A covered billiard table with seating clearance for diners is a billiard table that also serves as a dining table. The table has two end covers and two middle covers that span across it. The covers rest upon a billiard table of slates upon a frame with four legs. To play billiards, people remove the covers to reveal the playing surface: cloth covered slates with side rails and perpendicular end beams joined at corners, shown with pockets. This table has the clearance beneath the frame for a seated person's legs. The frame has a pattern of supported braces joined to beams upon the side panels and to the end beams and end panels. The frame and beams have sufficient stiffness to limit deflection of the slates and to provide clearance for a person to sit beneath the table.
