O. REINGARDT. Billiard Table.
Patented Aprilvl9, 1881.
. WITNESSES:
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
CHARLES REINGABDT, OF ELIZABETH, NEW JERSEY.
BlLLlARD-TABLE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 240,461, dated April 19, 1881. Application filed March 3, 1881. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, CHARLES REINGARDT, of Elizabeth, in the county of Union and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Billiard Tables, of which the following is a specification.
In billiard-tables having pockets for playing the game of pool it frequently happens that one or more balls are left in the pockets by the player, which balls are afterward taken out by the next player, which feature forms a source of contention, andleads frequently to disputes. The invention is designed to obviate any such difficulty as described by supplying each player with all the balls which he has played into the pockets in a reliable and convenient manner; and the invention consists ofa pool table which is pro ided with pockets open at the bottom and arranged along the longer sides, and also at one of the shorter sides, with inclined condncting-channels below the pockets, the channel at the shorter side terminating in a box of suitable size, into which the balls are delivered.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a perspective view of my improved billiard-table. Fig. 2 is a top "iew; and Fig.3, a vertical transverse section of the same on line :1) at, Fig. 2.
Similar letters of reference indicate corre sponding parts.
A represents a billiard-table arranged with pockets at, for playing the game of pool. The pockets are open at the bottom, for delivering the balls to slightly-inclined channels B, which run along the longer sides of the table, and which are secured thereto by supporting-brackets b in a detachable manner. The channels B are made either of wood, metal, or other suitable material, and preferably lined at the inside with rubber, so as to deaden the rolling sound of the balls. The channels B are pro- .vided with an exterior molding in keeping with the exterior profile of table, so as to conform to the general style of the table. They are so arranged as to be readily removed from the su tiporting-brackets for the purpose of cleaning the interior of dust which may settle therein. The channels B are connected at one end of the billiard-table (preferably at the head of the same) with a transverse connectingchannel, 0, which has from each corner of the table a slight downward inclination toward a central box, D, which is of such a size as to take up from six to ten balls. The conductingchannels B (J are rounded at the corners of the table, so as to facilitate the passage of the balls to the transverse channel 0 and the collecting-box D. When the player is through he takes out his balls from the box. As the balls are all promptly conveyed to the box at the head of the table and removed therefrom by the player before the next player takes his turn, the going around the table for removing the balls from the different pooketsis dispensed with.
1 am aware that channels which connect the pockets of a billiard-table to a box arranged at one end thereof are well known, and I therefore do not claim them, broadly.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- As an improvement in billiard-tables, the combination of a billiard-table having pockets open at the bottom, with inclined removable channels running below the pockets along the longer sides of the table, with a laterally-connecting channel at one end, and with a central collecting-box, substantially as and. for the purpose set forth.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I. have signed my name, in presence of two witnesses, this 25th day of February, 1881.
CHARLES REINGARDT.
