Description

' 1,627,967 May E.HAMBLIN.L JRY POCKET IRON LEATHER GUARD Filed March 4 1926 au'vemtoz Patented Meg/"10, 1927.,
warren STATES newt-7 ED HAMBLIN, JR., OF WOOD'WARD, OKLAHOMA.
POCKET-IRON LEATHER GUARD.
Application filed March 4, 1926.
This invention relates to a pocket guard for pool tables or the like, and aims to provide novel means whereby the usual leather covering on the pocket iron may be readily repaired by persons unfamiliar with meehanics.
An important object of the invention is to provide a device of this character con structed of leather or the like material pressed into form in such a way that tongues will be provided, the tongues having a certain amount of resiliency to clamp the usual pocket iron to secure the guard. in position.
A still further object of the invention is to provide means whereby suitable securing rivets may be passed through the guard and through the usual leather covering of a pocket iron to secure the guard in position in the event that the securing tongues lose their gripping qualities.
With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed, may be made within the scope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of the invention.
Referring to the drawing:
Figure 1 is afragmental plan view illustrating a pool table pocket as supplied with a guard constructed in accordance with the invention.
Figure 2 is a bottom plan view of the guard.
Figure 3 is a sectional. view taken on line 33 of Figure 1.
Figure 4 is a sectional view illustrating rivets that may be employed for securing the guard in position.
Referring to the drawing in detail, the device includes a body portion indicated generally by the reference character 5, which body portion is substantially semi-circular in formation and is formed of pressed leather, trunk fibre or other suitable wear resisting material having suflicient elasticity Serial No. 92,209.
to grip the pocket iron on which the same is positioned.
The curvature of the body portion is such that the device may be positioned over a pocket iron and closely engage the same, the body portion being cut to provide a centra l grippingtongue 6 and lateral gripping tongues 7, the outer extremities of the tongues 6 and 7 being curved as at 8 so that they will grip the usual curved surface of the pocket iron.
The inner edge of the guard is curved inwardly as at 9 to grip the inner portion of the pocket iron in a manner as shown clearly by Figure 3 of the drawing.
As before stated, the material of which the body portion is constructed is such that when the device is positioned as shown by Figure 1, the tongues and member 9 will grip the pocket iron and secure the. same against movement.
As shown by Figure 4 of the drawings, the openings of the guard, which are indicated at 10, may receive rivets 11 which may be driven through the openings 10 and through the usual leather covering for the pocket iron, which covering has become worn.
It will be seen that as the rivets are driven through the openings 10, the rivets will split after they have passed through the usual covering 12 of the pocket iron, thereby firmly securing the guard in'position.
From the foregoing it will be seen that the device will be readily and easily positioned, and pocket irons wherein the usual leather coverings thereof have become worn beyond use, may .be readily repaired by the pool room attendant, eliminating the necessity of calling in a professional. repairman for accomplishing this result.
I claim:
A guard for use in connection with a pool table pocket iron and leather covering therefor, said guard embodying a body portion formed of flexible material, said body portion being curved to conform to the curvature of the pocket iron and being of a length equal to the length of the pocket iron, said guard adapted to grip the pocket iron throughout the entire length of the pocket and adapted to cover the entire front face of the iron, portions of the body portion being cut away providing a plurality of gripping fingers adapted to extend over the rear edge of the pocket iron to grip the pocket iron, said fingers having openings in the upper surfaces thereof, said openings adapted to receive securing rivets to be driven into the leather covering of the pocket ll'OIl.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto affixed my signature.
