WILHELM ESPIG, OF BERLIN, GERMANY, ASSIGNOR l'.IO MORITZ HESS, OF SAME PLACE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent 1Y0. 235,419, dated December 14, 1880.
Application filed May l0, 1880.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that l, WILHELM Esrie, of the city of Berlin, Kingdom of Prussia, German Empire, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Billard-Tables, of which the following is a specification.
The object of my invention is to provide a new and useful improvement in billiard-tables, whereby the bed of the billiard-table can be adjusted higher or lower above the iioor, and the said table can be extended and provided with a top plate, so as to form a large ordinary table.
The invention consists in a billiard-table provided with sliding extension-frames, which rest in the bed-frame, and can be drawn out and covered with table-boards, so as to form an ordinary table.l The bed of this billiardtable is movable, and can be raised by means of a series of bent levers mounted on a shaft at each end of the main supporting-frame of j the billiard-table.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a partial longitudinal sectional and side elevation of a billiard-table provided with my improvement. Fig. 2 is a view of part ot' the under side of the billiard-bed anda plan view of a part of the main supporting-frame of the billiard-table. Fig. 3 is a partial side elevation and longitudinal sectional elevation of a billiard-table provided with my improvement, showing one 'of the extension-framesdrawn out and covered with a table-board. Fig. 4 is a partial cross-sectional and end Velevation of a billiard-table provided with my improvement, showing the billiard-bed raised. Fig. 5 represents the same, showing the billiard-bed lowered and covered with a table-board.
Similar letters of .reference indicate corresponding parts.
The billiard-,bed b rests on the frame B, and is surrounded by the cushion-rail aand a frame, A. A sliding extension-frame, H, consisting of the two sliding barst' and the transverse barj, which connects the outer ends of the sliding bars fi, is fitted at each end ofthe frame A surrounding the bed b, the slidin g rails t' passing into 4recesses in the longitudinal pieces of the bed-frame A, and the transverse 5o connecting-bar j passing under the projecting (Model.)
top plate or molding s of the frame A. Blocks m are attached to the ends of the transverse connecting-bar j, where the same is attached to the sliding bars i, which blocks are provided with a threaded or other suitable aperture for receiving a screw or stud on the upper end of a table-leg, C, so as to form a support for the outer end of the sliding frame H when the same is drawn out. The frame B rests upon the main supporting-frame E, provided with strong legs D in the ordinary manner. One or more pins, c, are attached to the under side of the supporting-frame of the bed-plate b, and, passing into corresponding sockets or apertures f in the base-frame E, serve as guides for the upper frame, B. A number of arms or levers, h, are attached to ashaft, g, pivoted in the frame E, and one of these arms is provided with a projection, upon which a key, 0, fits. A shaft, g, is arranged at each end of the frame.
The billard-table can be adj usted as follows: The handle O is applied to the projection of the shaft g, and the said shaft is rotated in the direction of the arrow a', causing the arms h h to rise, which raise the bed b high enough to be convenient for the players. The bed b now rests on the upper ends of the levers h, and is protected against transverse movements by the pins c c; but if the billard-table is to be used as an ordinary table the bed b must be lowered, which is accomplished by raising the handle O. The frame E passes into or behind the frame B, as shown in Figs. 3 and 5. The sliding frames H are then drawn out, the legs G are attached, a large table-board, fr, is placed upon bed b, and corresponding table-boards r are placed upon the sliding frames H H.
The bed b can be raised by means of screws or other like devices, if desired; and the sliding fra-mes may be left off entirely, or may be replaced by two frames which can be hooked onto the billiard-table, and when detached therefrom may form a complete table by themselves.
I am aware that it is not broadly new to construct a billiard-table so that it may be used for dining and other purposes; but
What I claim as new is IOO 1.
