IMPROVEMENT IN BlLLlARD-CUE TIPS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 144,324, dated November 4, 1873; application filed August 27, 1873.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, Gnonen W. DICKIN- soN, of Saratoga Springs, in the county of Saratoga and in the State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Billiard-Cue; and do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings and to the letters of reference marked thereon, making a part of this specification.
The nature of my invention relates to the construction of a billiard-cue tip, as will be hereinafter set forth.
It is composed of a layer of leather, which is firmly fixed to the one by means of glue, or any other suitable compound. The leather is surmounted by a thin cap of india-rubber, sub-' stantially fixed to the leather by the same means.
In the accompanying drawings, A represents an ordinary billiard-cue. or represents a tip of leather, suitably cemented to itsend, and 1) represents a thin tip of india-rubber, cemented onto the outer face of the leather tip a.
By thus using the common leather tip on the cue end, it can be easily cemented thereto in the usual way, and when the thin rubber tip is attached to the leather tip, the one has the desired elasticity that the common leather tips now have, and neednot be chalked, as
the common tips are required to be.
The object of using the rubber is to dispense with the use of chalk entirely, the rubber not being at all liable to slip from the ball when a stroke is being made, as is Very often the case with the leather tip; chalk being very injurious to the players clothes and to the billiard-tables, they requiring much brushing, which causes the baize covering of the table to wear rapidly. i
It will thus beseen that, by the adoption of a one that does not require the use of chalk, all the foregoing disadvantages are done away with.
I am aware that it is not new to form a onetip that will operate without chalking. I am also aware that a cue formed with a tenon on its end, which tenon is inserted into an inverted cup of hard rubber, and the outer face of said cup covered with a tip of soft rubber, is not new.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I then claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
A billiard-cue, A, having a leather tip, a, cemented to its outer end, and a tip of thin rubber, b, cemented to the outer face of the leather tip, all as and for the purposes set forth.
In testimony that I' claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 15th day of August, 187 3.
