Description
TITLE OF THE INVENTION
BILLIARD ACCESSORY HOLDER
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to an integrated billiard accessory holder for use by a player when playing the game of billiards. The invention finds particular application as an accessory holder which may be held on a key chain, strap, cable or the like which may be conveniently attached to a belt loop and hidden in the player's pocket until such time as an accessory is needed.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Pool or billiards is a game enjoyed by many enthusiasts by those who have a moderate amount of skill in playing the game. At times during the game it may be necessary to execute shots which require imparting spin on the cue ball. This is accomplished by hitting the cue ball or striking the cue ball off centre, to the left or to the right of the centre of gravity and/or above or below the centre of gravity. Such shots will effectively impart left hand and right hand sides spin, over spin, or back spin respectively. It is therefore necessary for those moderately skilled at the game to maintain the tip of the cue (having a small felt circle disposed at the end thereof) in a clean lint-free state, and to ensure that the cleaned felt surface is properly covered with chalk. The player may therefore scrape the surface of the felt lightly with an implement such as a small pin knife blade or the like from time to Hme before placing chalk on the end of the tip. The chalk is normally found around a billiard table and often where it was placed by the last user. A small scraping implement isn't always available and one may sometimes resort to a fingernail.
When playing in hot and humid conditions resulting from either the weather or the nature of the billiard parlor in which one plays, it is also an important consideration to keep one's hands as dry as possible. Often billiard parlors will therefore provide players with talcum powder in dispensers located around the parlor. Sometimes this convenience is not provided. Other conveniences for the players comfort may or may not be provided in the pool hall such as cigarette lighters, etc.
Referring to United States Patent No. 4,953,770 there is taught a clip on chalk holder which may be clipped to a convenient shirt pocket or the like by the user. It is also possible to affix such a clip with a chain or the like.
United States Patent No. 5,328,411 also teaches a very simple device for use similar to the aforementioned reference. For additional accessories they must be attached in a separate manner.
Design Patent No. 372,315 teaches a cue chalk container, and Design Patent No.
306,233 illustrates a key chain and article holder.
However, no where within the prior art of which I am aware, is there taught an integrated holder for multiple accessories utilized with the game of playing pool or adaptable to any game accessory holder whatsoever. This will be described hereinafter within the detailed descriptions.
It would therefore be advantageous if a holder could be provided for players of various activities, games, sports and the like, such as billiards for containing and holding various accessories utilized in the playing of the game.
It is therefore an object of this invention to provide an accessory holder for a game such as billiards which contains multiple accessories for use by a player.
It is a further object of this invention to provide an accessory holder for the game of playing billiards which takes the form of a novelty item such as a billiard ball or the ball of one's favourite sport which conveniently contains the accessories.
It is a further object of the invention to provide a holder which is attractive and compact.
It is a further object of the invention to provide a holder which in a preferred embodiment is conveniently held on the end of a chain, cable, leather strap, fob or the like for security purposes.
Further and other objects of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art when considering the following summary of the invention and the more detailed description of the preferred embodiments illustrated herein.
