Description

I. NATHAN.
COMBINED REINFORCE' AND SPOT FOR BILLIARD AND POOL TABLES. APPLICATION FILED NOV. 7. 1914.
WITNESSES:
IN VENTOR THE NORRIS PETERS CO. PHOTU-LITHQ. WASHINGTON. D. C
ISAAC NATHAN, 0F OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA.
COMBINED REINFORCE AND SPOT FOR BILLIARD AND POOL TABLES.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, ISAAC NATHAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Oakland, in the county of Alameda and State of California, have invented new and useful Improvements in Combined Reinforce and Spot for Billiard and Pool Tables, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to anovel protector and spot for billiard and pool tables.
On billiard and pool tables the expensive felt surface is rapidly Worn in a small area at the middle toward one end by the great frequency with which one of the balls is placed or set up or spotted as it is termed.
I have invented and successfully used, a simple device which not only'aids in spot ting the ball upon the table, but is particularly efi'ective for protecting the immediately surrounding area of the felt against wear.
The invention consists of a polychrome disk of tenacious or durable material, such as athin fabric provided with an adhesive whereby it may be easily secured, to the felt; the device having a central spot of different colors from the rest of the disk for :IiOndicating the position at which to place the all.
The invention consists of the parts and the combination and construction of parts as hereinafter more fully described and claimed, having reference to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a full scale plan view of the protector. Fig. 2 is a plan of a table with the device applied.
2 indicates a table with a felt surface. The protector comprises a disk 3 of about 1% inches diameter and preferably made of some thin, tough material, as for instance linen or silk fabric, thus affording a substantial wearing body and a smooth surface over which the balls may roll-with the least deflection. The disk 3 has an adhesive side for application to the felt table surface.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented June 15, 1915.
Application filed November 7, 1914. Serial No. 870,794.
With this disk such a considerable area isafforded upon which to spot the ball that there is but little reason for the surrounding surface. to be injured. For the purpose of more precisely indicating the median line of the table the disk has a central area colored differently from the remainder.
. The polychrome surface may be produced in any suitable manner and as here shown is accomplished by applying a thin disk 4: of a suitable color to the protector 3, which may be of any other color, here shown as green on black. Preferably the central spot of color is printed or stamped directly on the disk. This not only serves its indicating functions, but particularly is preferred because it cannot peel off as when an extra piece is pasted on.
An important advantage of my protector is that being of larger area than the target spot it covers a larger area of felt and wears a long time. Preventing wear of the felt also protects the slate bed of the table.
7 Having thus described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is' 1. The combination with the felt surface of a pool or billiard table, of a protector for covering the usual spotting position of the felt, said protector having a polychrome upper surface, one of the colors of which forms a center for closely indicating the median line of the table.
2. A protector for the felt surface of a billiard or pool table, consisting of a disk with an adhesive side, and a spot indicator on the opposite side of different color from the remainder of the disk.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
ISAAC NATHAN.
