Description

April 22,1930. J. TAYLOR 1,755,675
BILLIARD TABLE Filed March 11, 1929 Inventor efo/zia Taylor w By v ' Attorney Patented Apr; 22, 1930 JOHN TAYLOR, or EXETER, NEW HAMPSHIRE j IBILLIARD TABLE Application filed March 11, 1929. Serial No. 346,081.
The present invention relates to games and more particularly to a billiard table upon which a ball is adapted'for movementfthe table being provided with a series of recesses adjacent one end within which the ball may be pocketed and also provided with an audible signal in advance of the recesses adapted to be I struck by the ball and'to render the pocketing of the ball by the player more difiicult. 7
A further object of the invention is to provide a game table of this character of a simple and practical construction, which is neat and attractive in appearance, which is relatively inexpensive to manufacture and otherwise well adapted to the purposesfor which the same is intended. I
Other objects and advantages reside in the special construction, combination and arrangement of therva'rious elements forming the invention as more fully hereinafter described and claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming part hereof, wherein like numerals referto like parts throughout,and in which:
Figure 1 is a top plan View of the table,
'Figure 2 isa longitudinal sectional view therethrough, and r v Figure 3 is a fragmentary vertical sectional view through one side ofthe table illustrating the score indicating pin.
Referring to the drawing in detail, wherein for the purposes of illustration I have disclosed a preferred embodiment of'the invention, the numeral 5 designates generally a billiard table of substantially elongated formation and composed of a board 6 upon which to provide the plain surface for a ball 7.
The edges of the table are provided with substantially low upstanding walls'8 to retain the ball in position upon the board 6. Adj acent one end of the table is arranged a trans versely extending strip 9'having notches 10 formed in the side thereof facing the opposite end of the table and within which the ball. may be positioned for retaining the same while being struck by a cue or other impelling object. l
The opposite end of the table is preferably rounded as shown at 11 and the surface v of the table, adjacent the rounded end is pro vided with series of shallow recesses or".
pockets 12. V
A bell 13, or other audible signal device, is
supported upon the table by a standard 14 J which is disposed between the bell and the strip 9. The standard thus formsa guard for the bell so that the bell can only be struck by the ball at one side thereof and thus insure the deflecting of the ball toward one side of number designed at 17 to represent the score upon the pocketing of the ball in the respective pockets. v v
The object of the game is to first cause the ball to strike the bell 13 and then to pocket the ball in one of the recesses 12. It will be apparent that the bell presents an increased hazard to the pocketing of'the ball and'thus renders the playing of the game more difficult.
It is obvious that my invention is susceptible-to various changes and modifications in construction without departing from the spirit of the invention or the scope of the appended claim, and I accordingly claim all such forms of the device to which I am entitled.
Having thus described my invention, what 7 I claim as newis: v I o A game of theclass described comprising a table having side walls extending upwardly above the surface of the table whereby to retain a ball upon the surface thereof, a plurality of pockets formed in the surface of the table adjacent one end thereof, a bell posi-. tioned upon the surface of the table in ad- Vance of'said pockets and adapted to be struck by the ball in a manner to deflect same in its travel toward the pockets and a guard extending from one side of the bell to prevent the striking of the ball upon the approach of the ball at the side provided with said guard.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
' JOHN TAYLOR.
