STATES PATENT @FFTCE.
ANTHONY F. DUNNEBACKE AND CHARLES H. HAAG, OF KENOSHA, WISCONSIN.
BILLIARD-CUE.
Application filed March 10, 1915.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, ANTHONY F. DUN- NEBACKE and CHARLES H. HAAG, citizens of the United States, residing at Kenosha, in the county of Kenosha and State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Billiard-Cues, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to cues used for playing billiards, pool, and other similar games; and it consists of a tapering metallic tube, formed in sections and balanced as hereinafter fully described and claimed.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a side view of a billiard cue constructed according to this invention. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section of the butt end portion of the cue, drawn to a larger scale. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section of the joint at the middle part of the cue.
The one 2 is preferably formed of a piece of drawn steel tubing. This tubing is tapered gradually from end to end, and is fashioned to the standard proportions of length, weight and size to which cues are usually made. The one may be formed of a single piece of tube, but for convenience of packing a joint 3 is formed at about the middle of its length. Two similar screwthreaded plugs 4L and 5 are provided and are screwed firmly into the meeting end portions of the respective cue sections. These plugs have central screwthreaded holes 6 and 7, and 8 is a screwthreaded dowel pin which is screwed tightly into one of the holes so that one end portion of it projects Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented July 6, 1915.
Serial No. 13,424.
therefrom. The other hole is less tightly fitted to the screw, and the dowel pin connects the two cue sections together, and permits them to be taken apart when necessary.
When. desired, the smaller one section can be used to repair a broken wooden cue. The smaller one section has a tip 10 of any approved non-metallic material, such as fiber, screwed into or otherwise securely connected to its smaller end. The butt end of the one has a plug 12 screwed tightly into it, and provided with a longitudinal screwthreaded hole 14:. The plug 12 is a metal plug, and it is used to balance the cue roughly. To effect a fine adjustment of the balance of the cue, a weight 15 is screwed into the hole 14'. This weight is in the form of a screwthreaded rod, and it may project within the cue for any desired distance, and may be easily removed and shortened until a suitable fine adjustment has been obtained.
lVhat we claim is:
A one formed of thin tubular metal and having a metallic plug secured in its buti end portion and provided with a screwthreaded hole, and a weight for fine adjust ment of balance screwed into the said hole In testimony whereof we aI'liX our signn tures in presence of two witnesses.
