Patent ID: 8439359

Claim:
A shuffleboard playfield comprising: a first elongated planar member having an upper surface and a lower surface; a second elongated planar member having an upper surface and a lower surface, the second elongated planar member being coupled to the first elongated member in the same plane with each other at a joint edge; a first bracket member mounted on the lower surface of said first elongated planar member, said first bracket member extending along substantially the entire length of the joint edge, said first bracket member including at least one leveling aperture located adjacent to said joint edge; a second bracket member mounted on the lower surface of said second elongated planar member, said second bracket member extending along substantially the entire length of the joint edge, said second bracket member including at least one leveling aperture located adjacent to said joint edge; said first and second bracket members being rigidly attached to each other along substantially the entire length of the joint edge; and a plurality of adjustment bolts, at least one of said adjustment bolts being engaged with said at least one leveling aperture associated with said first bracket member, and at least one of said adjustment bolts being engaged with said at least one leveling aperture associated with said second bracket member, said adjustment bolts being each independently adjustable to push against the lower surface of said first and second planar members respectively so as to level the upper surfaces of the first and second elongated planar members at said joint edge.
