UMTEE TATES HOWAED CHAPMAN BRUBACKER, OF floDNEY oNTABIo, CANADA.
INSIDE PooKnT mon.
Application filed March 24, 1922. Serial No. 546399.
To all whom 'it may 6071067 21.-
Be it known that I, HowAno CHAPMAN BRBAKER, a subject of the King of Great Britain, residing at Rodney, county oi' Elgin, Province oi' Ontario, Canada, have invcnted certain new and useful lmprm'enents in Inside Pocket Irons, ot which the following' is a s] )ecification.
My invention relates to iinprm ements in inside pockct irons, as distinct froni top pocket irons, used on billiard and pool tables, and the object of my invention is to obviate the necessity of having to use tacks or similar attaching means in securing the inner side oi' the pockets to the table, and thus not only prevent the damaging oi' the table, but also to protect the players hands :from injury when inserted within the poclret to renove the balls thereiro'n, and in the following specification, l shall disclose two irons within my invention, and what- I claim as new will be set torth in the clainis forming part oi' this specification.
Fig. l'is a vertical cross-section through one ot' the pockets at the side of a billard or pool table, part of which is shown in section, showing in section one of my pocket irons, and the preferred manner in which the same is attached to the table, and the n'anner in which the inner side of the pocket is carried thereby. Fg. 2 is a plan View of the underside of the corner inside pocket iron. Fig. 3 is a side elevation of a portion of this iron, and Fig. 4 is an elevation of the underside of the inside poc-ket iron used at the sides of the table.
In the draWings, like characters of refer ence refer to the same parts.
A is the rail extending around the table, and associated therewith in, any convenient manner well-known in the art is the trame B preferably made ot' wood and adapted to support the slate C. D is the opening tormed in the slate and ;treme B leading to the pocket E. The rail A is of course interrupted at the opening D.
F is the usual top pocket iron, and the same may be attached in any convenient manner to the rail A as by means ot the pocket' bolt 2, tapped therein to as shown at 3, or in any other suitable way.
i is the inside pocket iron used at the side ot the table, and thesane is arcuate in form. F is the corner inside pocket iron also arcuate in form. Integrally toi-med with each end ot the armate portions ot each iron are plates G, each provided with a hole 'T through which the pocket bolts 2 pass. i I
As shown .in Fig. 3, arcuate portion 5 oi each iron projects above the plates (3, thus providing shoulders 8 which are faced up against the ends ot the rails A at 'the openines D, as shown in Fig. i. a a
The angular 'lisposition ot the plates G and the shoulders 8 to the arcuate portion of each iron will be different, according to the location of these irons, as is clearlv shown in Figs. 2 and 4. u
It is common now in the art to tack the inner side of the pocket to the wooden frame B. Owing to the constant strain on the pockets caused by the dropping of balls thereinto, these t-acks become loose and in order to make them to hold, they must be driven into an unpunctured part of the frame E. The result is that the iframe B becomes so full of holes that tacks will not support the inside of the pocket with the result that the balls drop on the floor. Furthermore, frequently' loose tacks project into the pocket so as to severely cut. the hand when inserted thereinto. Now in place of tacking the inner side of the pocket to the wooden 'rane B, I provide ase'es of holes 9 in the arcuate portion of each iron, and after passing suitable fastening means, such as split Copper rivets 10 through the portions 11 of the pocket E, I pass these rivets through the holes 9 and spread the ends thereof as shown in Fig. 1.
`The arcuate portions oi' each iron will o' course vary according to the configuration oi' the opening D, and it will he observed thatthis arcuate portion extends somewhat underneath the wooden :treme E so as to properly position the net, i
Although I have illustratet' the net as being made of cut leather, net made of any suitable material may be used with my irons, and without further description it will be understood how readily these pocket irons may be removed from the table to permit repairs or rcplacenents of pockets, and without in any inanner injuring these tables, thus greatly lengthenng the life .thereot.
Various changes in Construction, and form of my irons, and variations in the character of the coupling means for iny irons, both as regards the pockets, and as regards the coupling of these irons to the table, may be made Without departing from the spirit of my i'ivention. l or instance, there may be cases Where it is not necessary to make my pocket irons arcuate in form, though this is the preferred shape thereot.
What I claim is:
l. As a new article of manufacture, an.
2. As a new article ot' manufacture, an inside ocket iron connprising an arcuate portion adagted to support the inside of a pocket and to be located below the underside of the frame of the table, and terminating at each end in an apertured horizontal plate adapted to be taced up against the underside ot said table frane, and 'Eurther terminatin at each end in a. shoulder each extending down to. the hpper surface ot' its associated plate and adapted to he faced up against the end of the rails of said treme at the usual openin gs 'therein i HOWARD CHAPYVAN BRUEACKER.
