Description

On sait qu'à l'heure actuelle, le joueur de billard doit, surtout dans les concours importants, disposer de plusieurs queues présentant des longueurs et des caractéristiques différentes, pour s'adapter aux diffé­rentes conditions de tir, en fonction de la disposition de la boule sur le plan de la table et des différentes directions de tir requises dans le cours du jeu.We know that at present, the billiard player must, especially in major competitions, have several cues with different lengths and characteristics, to adapt to different shooting conditions, depending on the layout of the ball on the table plan and the different shooting directions required during the game.

Avec la queue suivant l'invention, on évite ces inconvénients, du fait qu'elle présente une possibilité de variation en longueur par action sur la partie arrière, en offrant en outre la possibilité de remplacer aisé­ment la pointe en fonction des exigences du jeu.With the shank according to the invention, these drawbacks are avoided, because it presents a possibility of variation in length by action on the rear part, by also offering the possibility of easily replacing the tip according to the requirements of the game.

La queue suivant l'invention est définie à la revendication 1.The tail according to the invention is defined in claim 1.

Comme montré en fig. 1, la queue de billard comprend un corps central 1 sur lequel est vissée la pointe 2 munie d'une tête terminale 3.As shown in fig. 1, the billiard cue comprises a central body 1 on which the point 2 is screwed provided with a terminal head 3.

Le corps central 1 est à son tour prolongé par la poignée 4 munie d'une tige 5 qui pénètre dans ce corps central 1 pour être bloquée à la posi­tion désirée, moyennant une simple manoeuvre en rotation d'un quart de tour de la poignée 4, suivant le sens indiqué par la flèche 6.The central body 1 is in turn extended by the handle 4 provided with a rod 5 which penetrates into this central body 1 to be locked in the desired position, by means of a simple maneuver in rotation of a quarter turn of the handle 4 , following the direction indicated by arrow 6.

En fig. 2, on notera que la poignée 4 est au contact du corps central 1, si bien que la queue se trouve à la position correspondant à sa plus faible longueur.In fig. 2, it will be noted that the handle 4 is in contact with the central body 1, so that the tail is in the position corresponding to its most short length.

En fig. 3, on remarquera que le corps central 1 est muni d'un filetage interne 7 qui coopère avec le filetage externe 8 de la partie filetée 9 (fig. 5) qui fait saillie à l'extrémité de la pointe 2.In fig. 3, it will be noted that the central body 1 is provided with an internal thread 7 which cooperates with the external thread 8 of the threaded part 9 (fig. 5) which projects at the end of the tip 2.

Dans une variante éventuelle de la queue suivant l'invention, on prévoit la possibilité pour le corps principal 1 d'être muni d'un élément fileté en saillie, tandis que la pointe 2 est prévue creuse à son extrémité ar­rière afin de recevoir ledit élément fileté, ce qui revient donc à in­verser la disposition illustrée en fig. 3.In a possible variant of the tail according to the invention, provision is made for the main body 1 to be provided with a projecting threaded element, while the tip 2 is provided hollow at its rear end in order to receive said element threaded, which therefore amounts to reversing the arrangement illustrated in fig. 3.

En fig. 5, on relèvera que la section transversale de la partie en saillie 9 comporte deux surfaces planes et parallèles, latéralement aux­quelles sont prévues deux surfaces courbes munies du filetage nécessaire à l'assemblage avec le corps central 1.In fig. 5, it will be noted that the cross section of the projecting part 9 comprises two flat and parallel surfaces, laterally to which are provided two curved surfaces provided with the thread necessary for assembly with the central body 1.

Comme mieux visible en fig. 4, ce dernier présente deux parties filetées opposées 7 et 7ʹ, séparées par des parties lisses 10 et 10ʹ, si bien que l'assemblage de la pointe 2 et du corps central 1 de la queue est sim­plement opéré en introduisant l'extrémité filetée 8 dans la cavité ména­gée à l'intérieur du corps central 1 et en la faisant tourner d'environ 90° afin d'engager les parties filetées 8 et 8ʹ de la partie en saillie 9 à l'intérieur des parties filetées 7 et 7ʹ de la cavité prévue à l'extrémité du corps central 1.As best seen in fig. 4, the latter has two opposite threaded parts 7 and 7ʹ, separated by smooth parts 10 and 10ʹ, so that the assembly of the tip 2 and the central body 1 of the tail is simply carried out by introducing the threaded end 8 in the cavity formed inside the central body 1 and by rotating it about 90 ° in order to engage the threaded parts 8 and 8ʹ of the projecting part 9 inside the threaded parts 7 and 7ʹ of the cavity provided at the end of the central body 1.

Dans une première forme de réalisation structurelle, l'assemblage entre la tige 5 de la poignée 4 et le corps central 1 de la queue est réalisé suivant la forme de construction illustrée en fig. 6, 7 et 8.In a first structural embodiment, the assembly between the rod 5 of the handle 4 and the central body 1 of the tail is made according to the construction form illustrated in FIG. 6, 7 and 8.

Sur ces dernières, on peut voir que la tige 5 porte une partie d'extré­mité filetée 11 creusée en bout d'un trou taraudé 12 à l'intérieur du­quel vient se visser l'embout de la vis 13, moyennant introduction du manchon 14 présentant une surface interne tronconique 15 ainsi que des entailles longitudinales 16, qui rendent élastiquement déformable la partie extrême arrière de ce manchon 14.On the latter, it can be seen that the rod 5 carries a threaded end portion 11 hollowed out at the end of a tapped hole 12 inside which the end piece of the screw 13 is screwed, by means of the introduction of the sleeve 14 having a frustoconical internal surface 15 as well as longitudinal notches 16, which make the rear extreme part of this sleeve 14 elastically deformable.

Les surfaces intérieures tronconiques 15 viennent prendre appui contre la surface tronconique 17 prévue dans la partie d'extrémité de la tige 5 immédiatement en avant de la partie filetée 11.The frustoconical interior surfaces 15 come to bear against the frustoconical surface 17 provided in the end part of the rod 5 immediately ahead of the threaded portion 11.

La partie filetée de la vis 13 est vissée à force dans le trou 12 afin d'interdire tout dévissage complet de la partie 11 hors du manchon 14.The threaded part of the screw 13 is forcibly screwed into the hole 12 in order to prevent any complete unscrewing of the part 11 out of the sleeve 14.

On notera en particulier en fig. 7 et 8 que sur la surface extérieure de ce manchon est ménagé un canal annulaire à l'intérieur duquel est intro­duit un anneau élastique 19 en caoutchouc qui en étant en contact avec la paroi intérieure du corps central 1, s'oppose à la rotation du man­chon 14, tout en permettant cependant l'avancement ou le recul le long de ce corps central 1 en vue de permettre la sortie de la tige 5 et de sa poignée 4 en fonction des exigences du jeu.Note in particular in fig. 7 and 8 that on the outer surface of this sleeve is formed an annular channel inside which is introduced an elastic ring 19 of rubber which, being in contact with the inner wall of the central body 1, opposes the rotation of the sleeve 14, while nevertheless allowing advancement or retreat along this central body 1 in order to allow the exit of the rod 5 and of its handle 4 according to the requirements of the game.

A titre d'une autre garantie propre à interdire la rotation du manchon 14, on peut prévoir une clavette logée dans la partie antérieure de celui-ci et qui va s'engager à l'intérieur d'une rainure longitudinale pratiquée dans le corps central 1.As another guarantee capable of preventing the rotation of the sleeve 14, a key can be provided housed in the front part of the latter and which will engage inside a longitudinal groove made in the central body 1.

Une fois déterminée la position optimale de la tige 5 par rapport au corps central 1, il sera suffisant de faire tourner la poignée 4 d'un angle d'environ 90° dans le sens des aiguilles d'une montre, en mainte­nant fixe de l'autre main le corps central 1, pour opérer l'élargisse­ment des secteurs 16 du manchon 14.Once the optimal position of the rod 5 relative to the central body 1 has been determined, it will be sufficient to rotate the handle 4 by an angle of approximately 90 ° clockwise, keeping the position fixed 'other hand the central body 1, to operate the widening of the sectors 16 of the sleeve 14.

En fig. 9, on peut constater que la partie arrière de la poignée démon­table 4 est munie d'un disque moleté 18 solidaire d'un tampon parechocs 19. Sur ce disque 18 sont prévus deux prolongements filetés 20 et 21 de diamètres différents, le premier étant apte à coopérer avec une partie taraudée correspondante 22 ménagée dans la poignée 4, tandis que le second est destiné à recevoir une série de tares 23 qui en étant montées sur ledit prolongement 21 permettent de modifier le poids total de la queue.In fig. 9, it can be seen that the rear part of the removable handle 4 is provided with a knurled disc 18 secured to a bumper pad 19. On this disc 18 are provided two threaded extensions 20 and 21 of different diameters, the first being suitable to cooperate with a corresponding tapped part 22 formed in the handle 4, while the second is intended to receive a series of tares 23 which, being mounted on said extension 21, make it possible to modify the total weight of the tail.

On comprend que lorsqu'il désire régler le poids de la queue, il suffit au joueur de dévisser le disque 18 pour être à même d'agir sur les tares 23 en les faisant tourner sur le prolongement 21 en vue de les remplacer ou de les éliminer, la manoeuvre étant aisée et efficace.We understand that when he wishes to adjust the weight of the tail, the player just has to unscrew the disc 18 to be able to act on the flaws 23 by rotating them on the extension 21 in order to replace or replace them. eliminate, the operation being easy and efficient.

Ces tares 23 sont susceptibles d'être remplacées par des tares différen­ tes ou être supprimées, en fonction des exigences du joueur.These tares 23 are likely to be replaced by different tares. or be deleted, depending on the player's requirements.

En fig. 10, 11 et 12 on a illustré une variante de l'assemblage à vis entre les deux parties de la pointe, telle qu'illustrée aux fig. 3, 4 et 5, et l'on notera que les parties filetées 8 et 8ʹ qui font saillie sur cette pointe 2 sont suivies par des parties courbes 24 et 24ʹ ainsi que par des parties planes bien visibles en fig. 5, et ce à l'effet de maintenir les surfaces 24 et 24ʹ appliquées contre les surfaces 10 et 10ʹ non filetées du corps central 1 (fig. 12).In fig. 10, 11 and 12 there is illustrated a variant of the screw assembly between the two parts of the tip, as illustrated in FIGS. 3, 4 and 5, and it will be noted that the threaded parts 8 and 8ʹ which project from this point 2 are followed by curved parts 24 and 24ʹ as well as by flat parts clearly visible in FIG. 5, and this in order to keep the surfaces 24 and 24ʹ applied against the non-threaded surfaces 10 and 10ʹ of the central body 1 (fig. 12).

Dans une autre variante de l'invention, on prévoit que la liaison entre le corps central 1 et la pointe 2 de la queue (fig. 13) est réalisée au moyen d'un manchon 25 en caoutchouc expansible engagé dans la partie fi­letée 26 prévue en saillie à l'extrémité de la pointe 2, un écrou métal­lique 27 fixé à l'extrémité de la partie filetée 26 étant prévu pour qu'une fois entré en contact avec la paroi intérieure 28 de la cavité cylindrique 29 ménagée à l'extrémité du corps central 1 de la queue, cet écrou s'arrête contre ladite paroi et oblige le manchon élastique 25 à s'expandre jusqu'à adhérer contre les parois intérieures de la cavité 25, à la manière montrée en fig. 14, en garantissant ainsi la retenue entre les deux parties à assembler.In another variant of the invention, provision is made for the connection between the central body 1 and the tip 2 of the tail (FIG. 13) to be achieved by means of an expandable rubber sleeve 25 engaged in the threaded part 26 provided protruding at the end of the tip 2, a metal nut 27 fixed to the end of the threaded portion 26 being provided so that once it has come into contact with the inner wall 28 of the cylindrical cavity 29 formed at the end of the central body 1 of the tail, this nut stops against said wall and forces the elastic sleeve 25 to expand until it adheres against the interior walls of the cavity 25, in the manner shown in FIG. 14, thereby guaranteeing the retention between the two parts to be assembled.

En fig. 15 et 16, on peut voir que la tête terminale 3 pourvue d'une tige 30 partiellement filetée pour se visser dans l'écrou 31 engagé à l'intérieur de la cavité 32 équipée d'un manchon 33, est prévue à l'ex­trémité de la pointe 2 de la queue ; ce manchon se trouve comprimé par suite du vissage de la tige 30 dans l'écrou 31, en bloquant de cette manière la tête 3 sur la pointe 2 (fig. 16).In fig. 15 and 16, it can be seen that the end head 3 provided with a partially threaded rod 30 for screwing into the nut 31 engaged inside the cavity 32 equipped with a sleeve 33, is provided at the end tip 2 of the tail; this sleeve is compressed as a result of the screwing of the rod 30 in the nut 31, thereby blocking the head 3 on the tip 2 (fig. 16).

A titre de variante, on prévoit la possibilité que l'allongement de la queue soit obtenu dans la partie antérieure de celle-ci, avec un critère identique, moyennant adaptation des parties constituantes.As a variant, provision is made for the possibility that the extension of the tail is obtained in the front part thereof, with an identical criterion, subject to adaptation of the constituent parts.
