Application fileci March 25, 1915. Serial No. 17,018.
To all whom it may concern: I
Be it known that we, WILLIAM GAMPION and Josnrn A. MOKAY, of the village of New Toronto, in the county of York Province of Ontario, Canada, subjects of the King of Great Britain, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Billiard-Tables, of which the following is a specification. I
In billiard tables the cushions are se located and connected that they are very liable to be damaged and broken away from their support by players sitting on the edge of the table, and our object is to devise a cushion protector which will overcome the trouble without affecting in any way the proper action and resiliency of the cushion.
We attain our object by combining with the rail of the table a metal plate let in flush with the top of the wooden rail and having the inner part bent down at an obtuse angle to partly overlap the triangular cushion and clamp it in the rabbet in the rail in which it is cemented. The cloth covering the cushion passes under the metal plate and is clamped to the rail thereby.
The whole is constructed substantially as hereinafter more specifically described and as illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which- Figure 1 is a plan view of a portion of the rail provided with my improvements; and Fig. 2 a vertical section through part of the rail and table. I
In the drawings like numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in the different figures.
1 is the bed of the table, 2 the side rail formed of a side member and a cap set on top of the side member extending down the inner side of the same to the level of the bed of the table. To the inner side of the rail is cemented the cushion 3. This cushion is of the usual triangular shape and is preferably of the solid rubber type commonly employed, but'of course any construction of cushion may be utilized in connection with our invention. This cushion is so applied and the side rail so shaped that the upper side of the cushion slants inwardly and downwardly at a small angle to the horizontal. The rail is also rabbeted at 4;
to receive the lower corner of the cushion. The portion of the rail overlying the outer side of the cushion preferably dies out to a feather edge as shown. I
The cushion protector is formed of a metal plate 5, preferably steel one-sixteenth Patented Nov. as, 1915. i
of an inch thick, which is bent downwardly at an angle to form a flange 6. The main portion of the plateisset into the rail as shown so that the top of the upper part of the rail and the upper surface of the steel plate are substantially flush. Screws 7 serve to clamp the metal plate in place. The flange 6, it will be seen, extends partly over the upper face of the triangular cushion. Cloth 8, which covers the exposed inner face of the rail and the exposed inner and upper faces of the rubber cushion, is extended in under the plate 5 so that it is securely clamped between this plate and the rail.
The steel plate operates in at least three ways in preventing damage to the cushion when plcyers sit on the rail. In the first place, as it extends inwardly over the cushion, there is less of the latter exposed to pressure from above, most of the players weight being supported on the solid rail and the steel plate. In the next place it cooperates with the rabbet 4 to securely hold the base of the cushion against the rail, and in the third place it securely holds the cloth 8 and thus tends to bind the cushion to its seat against the rail.
It will be found that our construction will be very effective in obtaining the objects of our invention as set out in the preable to this specification.
What we claim as our invention is:
1. A billiard table rail having a substantially triangular cushion applied to its inner side in combination with a metal plate secured to the top of the rail and bent downwardly at an angle to form a flange partly overlapping the upper surface of the cushion.
2. A billiard table rail having a substantially triangular cushion applied to its inner side in combination with a metal plate secured to the top of the rail and bent down Wardly at an angle to form a flange partly overlapping the upper surface of the cushr with a metal plate secured to the'top ofthe I I ion; .anda cloth covering the inner side of the rail and exposedpartsof the cushion and clamped between said, plate and the'rail- 3. A billiard table rail having a substantially triangularcushion applied to its inner surface of the cushion and securing the cushi011 against said rabbet- 4. A billiard table rail having a substantially triangular cushion applied to its inner side, the rail being rabbeted to receive the lower angle of the cushion, in combination rail and bent downwardly at an angle .to
form a flange partly overlapping theupper surface of the cushion and securing the cushion against said rabbet; and a cloth covering'thefinner side of the ,rail and the 7 I ex'posedpa rts of the cushion and clamped between said' plate andtherail;
billiard table railihavlng" a substan "tiall i triangular cushion applied to its inner side in combinationwith a metal plate let ,inflush and secured to the top of the rail and bent downwardly at an angle to form a flangepartlv overlapping the upper surfaceof the cushion.
