Specification of Letters Patent. i Patented Dec.24, 1912.
Application filed February 5, 1912. Serial No. 675,493.
. To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, FRANK A. TORREY, a citizen of the United States, residing at T0- ledo, Lucas county, Ohio, have invented a new and useful Cue, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to certain features of construction of an element and its tip mounting.
This invention has utility when embodied in a cue for impelling balls, for instance as used in playing the games of billiards, pool, etc.
7 Referring to the drawings: Figure 1 is a view of an embodiment of the invention in a billiard cue; Fig. 2 is a fragmentary View of the smaller end portion of the cue, partially in section to show the recess therein; Fig. 3 is an end View of the'device of Fig. 2;
Fig. 4 is a bottom plan view of the tip elevation mounted in a cue, the one being broken away; and Fig. 12 is a view similar the smaller end of the cue '1, is a recess or to the showing in Fig. 11 showing a taper stem for the tip and a ferrule for the cue.
Thecue 1 is provided with the tip 2. In
seat 8, shown as cylindrical. The tip proper 2, usually of leather or some similar material, is shown as having a recess 4, into which the pair of wire prongs 5 may be inserted to have their points 6 anchor in the tip proper 2, when the soft wood stem =7 is forced between the Wires 5. The soft wood stem 7 has shallow recesses 8 in its sides to seat the wires 5, so'that the assembled tip may have its stem cylindrical. To'maintain proper 2, the wires 5*are bent to coact with the stem by overlapping the end thereof. The tip as so assembled is a complete article the stem'7 in assembled relation to the tip adapted for readyapplication to a one by V forcing the stem into the recess 3 of the cue.
In the use of the cue, the tip is the part which wears off or becomes defective. the instance of the structure of this disclosure, whenever itis desired to replace the gripped by a tool and withdrawn with its stem. In the extreme event of the frictional holding of the stem in the cue resulting in a tearing of the leather tip portion therefrom, the protruding wires may be. gripped directly, and if not then withdrawing the soft stem, will split the stem, so that with the wires out, the stem remains readily fall out. The one is now in condition for receiving an assembled tip, which may be easily forced home to seating position by entering the projection or stem in the seat or recess and pressing thereon. So seated, the cue'is atonce in condition for use, and may at once be rounded off and handled in play. The tip is, accordingly, an assembled article always ready for immediate application to a one in a positive manner, and in fact, when assembled, produces a superior article, in that'impact of concussion is through elastic substances of tip and wood cue with no occasion to disturb or fracture any jointtherebetween, but rather a tendency to more snugly efiect the seating coaction. In the locking of the wires 5 upon the stem 7 to assemble the tip, the bent outer-"ends of the wires 5iare embedded in the soft woodof the stem 7 i tip, the tip, or whatiremains thereof, may be I Instead of taking the impact of shot directly upon the cue from the tip 2, it may.
be taken upon the ferrule 10, Fig. 12, which when of ivory not only introduces a medium of great elasticity but also strengthens the cue 9 against fracture, accordingly permitprong engaging the recess, and a stem seat-ed for entering the tapered seat 12. The stem 11 is mounted in the tip 2 in the same manner as the stem 7.
What is claimed and it is desired to secure by Letters Patent is:
l. A one tip having a recess, an anchoring provided with an anchoring prong embedded in the other to hold the members assembled, and a cue for frictionally engaging the stem to mount the tip thereon.
In testimony whereof I hereunto set my hand in the presence of two witnesses.
FRANK A. TORREY.
in the recess and held assembled with the tip by the opposite end of the anchoring prong. lVitnesses:
2. A one member, a stem member therefor, CLARENCE LAZETTE, a wlre embracmg one of said members and GEO. E. KIRK.
Copies of this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressing the Commissioner of Patents, Washington, D. G.
