TO nownnn I.
one TIP.
Application filed September 8, 1920. Serial No. 408,830.
To all w 7mm it may concern:
Belt known that I, ARTHUR H. KIRK, a citizen of the United States, residing at Cuyahoga Falls, in the county of Summit and State of Ohio,'have invented new and useful Improvements in Cue Tips, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to billiard cues and has particular reference to certain new and useful improvements in tips for such cues and to a new and improved means for attaching such tips to a cue.
Objects of the invention are to provide a resilient tip of simple, economical construction, which is pro-vided with means whereby the same may be quickly and securely attached to the one and quickly and easily re moved therefrom.
A further object is to provide a tip of the character above indicated which will be extremely efiicient in use, and to provide means whereby the same may be detachably secured to a one and positively held thereon against unintentional removal.
The above objects are accomplished and other ends are attained by the novel construction, combination and arrangement of pants hereinafter described and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, which forms a part hereof and in which I have shown a preferred embodiment of the invention, it being understood that the invention is capable of various adaptations and that changes, variations and modifications may be made or substitutions resorted to which come within the scope of the claims hereunto appended.
In the drawings in which similar numerals of reference are employed to designate corresponding parts throughout the several views,
Figure 1 is a side elevation of the end portion of a billiard one provided with a tip constructed in accordance with this invention.
Figure 2 is a central, longitudinal sectional view of same taken as indicated by the line 22 of Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a central, longitudinal, sectional view of the ferrule employed in carrying out the invention.
Figure 4 is a side elevation of the attaching portion of the tip pro-per, and
Figure 5 is a central, sectional view of the resilient portion of the tip proper which in use is vulcanized to the base portion, but
The numeral 16 isused to denote a resilient tip pad which is vulcanized to the disk 17 and around the protuberance 14. The resilient pad 16 is formed by placing the desired quantity of unvulcanized rubber composition on the disk 17 and around the protuberance 14 and then shaping the pad andsubjec'ting the same to a vulcanizing heat for a sufficient period of time to insure the desired degree of vulcanization.
In use, a cue rod 6 is equipped with the ferrule 9 and the tip base 11, having a soft pad 16 vulcanized thereto, is threaded into the bore of the ferrule until the disk-like portion 17 of the tip is in contact with the end of the ferrule and the end of the base 11 is against the end of the cue rod 6. A'
spanner wrench formed to fit around the disk-like portion 17 with its pin seated .in the bore 15 may be used to tighten or loosen the tip from the ferrule 9. The composition of the soft pad 16 may be varied to secure any desired degree of elasticity and various tips may be employed with one one rod and the same interchangeably used; thereon.
Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is l. A billiard cue corn-prising a tapered cue rod, a 'ferrule fittedon the small end thereof so as to, extend there-beyond, internal screw threads in said ferrule a tip base having an externally threaded portion adapted to be screwed into said ferrule, an outwardly protruding portion coaxially arranged on said base, a head on said pro- 'truding p'ortionand a pad of resilient material vulcanized to said base and to said protruding portion.
2. A billiard cue comprising incombination a cue rod, a ferrule fitted over the end thereof so as to project therebeyond, internal screw threads in the outer portion of said iiel'r a ip base having an externally threaded portion adapted to be screwed into said ferrule, said tip base having a disk-like central portionwhich is pro.- vided with an integrally formed protuber ance which projects coaxiallyjtl-ierefromg a 7 soft pad of rubber composition formed on said disk-like portion and around said protuberance, the said pad being secured to said disk and tothe said protuberance by vulcanization. V
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand.
