Abstract

A configurable slide board includes: two or more board segments, each board segment including a top surface, wherein the board segments releasably engage each other; a gliding surface located along the top surface of the two or more board segments; and a plurality of receiving holes extending through the gliding surface into the board segments, wherein the plurality of receiving holes are adapted to receive a plurality of bumpers; wherein a first subset of the receiving holes are configured to receive a plurality of bumpers to form an octagon, further wherein a second subset the receiving holes are configured to receive a plurality of bumpers to form side-by-side linear slide boards.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
I claim: 
     
         1 . A configurable slide board comprising:
 two or more board segments, each board segment including a top surface, wherein the board segments releasably engage each other;   a gliding surface located along the top surface of the two or more board segments; and   a plurality of receiving holes extending through the gliding surface into the board segments, wherein the plurality of receiving holes are adapted to receive a plurality of bumpers;   wherein a first set of the receiving holes are configured to receive a plurality of bumpers to form an octagon, further wherein a second set the receiving holes are configured to receive a plurality of bumpers to form side-by-side linear slide boards.   
     
     
         2 . The configurable slide board of  claim 1  wherein the gliding surface is a separate material overlain on the top surfaces of the two or more board segments. 
     
     
         3 . The configurable slide board of  claim 1  wherein the gliding surface is formed by the top surface of the two or more board segments. 
     
     
         4 . The configurable slide board of  claim 1  wherein the receiving holes are internally threaded. 
     
     
         5 . The configurable slide board of  claim 4  wherein the bumpers are secured to the board segments by bumper knobs screwed into the internally threaded receiving holes. 
     
     
         6 . The configurable slide board of  claim 1  wherein the board segments are further secured together by brackets. 
     
     
         7 . The configurable slide board of  claim 1  wherein one or more of the board segments include a plurality of castors. 
     
     
         8 . A configurable slide board comprising:
 a gliding surface including a plurality of receiving holes adapted to receive a plurality of bumpers, wherein the plurality of receiving holes form at least two patterns, wherein each pattern includes receiving holes for receiving at least three bumpers and each pattern forms a different shape.   
     
     
         9 . The configurable slide board of  claim 8  wherein the plurality of receiving holes form a first octagonal pattern and a second non-octagonal pattern. 
     
     
         10 . The configurable slide board of  claim 9  wherein the second non-octagonal pattern provides side-by-side linear slide boards. 
     
     
         11 . The configurable slide board of  claim 8  wherein the gliding surface is mated to a plurality of board segments. 
     
     
         12 . The configurable slide board of  claim 8  wherein the gliding surface is mated to a single board segment. 
     
     
         13 . The configurable slide board of  claim 8  wherein the gliding surface is integrally formed with one or more board segments.
