M. M. YARIDICH.
CUE TIP, APPLICATION FILED MAB Z, 1920.
Patented Feb. 23,1921.
UNITED STATES MIRKO M. YARIDICH, OF CHISHOLM, MINNESOTA.
CUE-TIP.
Application filed March 2, 1920.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, MIRKO M. YARIDICH, a citizen of Montenegro, and resident of Chisholm, in the county of St. Louis and State of Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cue-Tips, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to games and toys and particularly to billiard cues, the said invention relating more particularly to means for attaching tips to the ends of the said cues.
An object of this invention is to provide novel means whereby tips may be properly centered with relation to the ends of the cues, and whereby the said tips are so anchored as to prevent accidental dislodgment of the same while in use or while being treated in being shaped to the desired configuration.
As well known, when tips are attached to ones in the ordinary way, they often are dislodged while being treated or abraded by sand paper, files or other implements employed for dressing them and properly shap ing them, and they also very frequently become dislodged as they are being used, either due to the impact of the tip and ball or to careless handling of the one.
It is the object of this invention, therefore, to provide a novel anchoring device which will result in the speedy application of the tip to the one and further result in so anchoring the tip as to prevent accidental dislodgment of the same while being dressed or used and facilitating the said application of the tip to the one so that it may be applied by those without skill in performing these acts.
With the foregoing and other objects in view, the invention consists in the details of construction, and in the arrangement and combination of parts to be hereinafter more fully set forth and claimed.
In describing the invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawings forming part of this specification wherein like characters denote correspondin parts in the several views and in whichigure 1 is a view in elevation of the cue, showing the tip applied thereto, said tip and one embodying the invention.
Fig. 2 is an enlarged detail view of the tip end of the one. I
Fig. 3 is a plan view of the end of the cue.
Fig. 4 is a perspective view thereof.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Feb. 8, 1921.
Serial No. 362,801.
Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the tip.
Fig. 6 is an enlarged detail view of a fragment of the butt end of the cue.
Fig. 7 is a plan view of the butt end of the one with the tip omitted.
Fig. 8 is a perspective view thereof.
Fig. 9 is a perspective view of the tip or The tips 12 and 13, in so far as their means i of anchorage are concerned, are of identical construction except one is larger than the other, and as shown in the drawing, the tip or cushion 12 has a transversely disposed rib 15 which is flared from its point of merger with the body of the tip to its outer surface, and it is also flared transversely from one end to a point 16 and then reduced in width to form the shoulders 17 one on each side, and from the shoulders 17 it is again flared transversely so that it forms a double key or tongue which is insertible in a socket or groove 18- formed in the butt end of the cue.
The buffer or tip is therefore dovetailed into the butt end of the cue by a tongue, which generally speaking, is tapered from one end to the other except for the offset forming the shoulders, but owing to the fact that the buffer or tip is formed usually of felt or some other yieldable material, it is possible to force the tongue longitudinally of the groove by inserting the small end of the tongue in the large end of the groove and pushing it longitudinally thereof, it being possible to exert sufficient force to compress the tongue laterally to such an extent as to force the shoulders 17 past the shoulders of the groove and their expansion therein will then cause an interlocking or interengagement of the shoulders of the tongue and the shoulders of the groove so that the buffer or tip will not move longitudinally of the said groove.
In addition to this anchoring means just stated, an adhesive may be employed, although under ordinary conditions the mechanical anchorage will prove sufficient and satisfactory.
The means for anchoring the tips 13 are identical with that just described and further detail construction is believed to be unnecessary except to refer to the tongues 19 of the tip as having the same structural feabetween the ends of the slot, the said slot being stepped or separated and converging from the said point to the opposite end of the slot, and a tip having a tongue on its inner surface of the general contour of the slot, the said tongue having shoulders to engage the shoulders at the stepped portion of the slot whereby the tongue interlocks with the cue.
