BILLIARD TABLE.
No. 385,346. Patented July 8, 1888.
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE,
WILLIAM P. FLINT, OF MARYSVILLE, CALIFORNIA.
BlLLlARDfl'ABLE SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 385,346, dated July 3, 1888.
Serial No, 256,115. (Nomodchl .10 all whom, it 71mg concern:
Be it known that l, ILLIAM P. FLINT, a citizen of theUnited States, residing at Marysville, in the county of Yuba and State of Gali fornia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Billiard-Tables; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
lhe special object of the invention is to make a billiard-table which, when not in use, may be turned up against the wall and repre sent some well-known article of furniture, the whole being so light that two persons may easily and quickly place it on the floor ready for a game.
Figure 1 of thedrawings is a front elevation of the billiard-table, presenting the appearance of an article of furniture; Fig. 2, a perv spectivc view showing it arranged for the game of billiards, and Fig. 3 a plan view of the inside of the article provided with the usual appurtenances of a billiard-table.
In the drawings, A represents a hollow case or oblong box, one of whose faces consists of a billiard-table, 13, while the opposite detachable face, C, represents the front of some article of furniture. The legs a have the large end provided with a threaded rod, D, which screws into the corners of the body of the case after the face C has been removed, while the small end has a pointed screw, E, by which thetable may be properly leveled and kept in position without injuring the carpet or floor.
The billiard-table bed may be made of any suitable material, but preferably of one which is light like gelatinized paper.
\Vhen ready to play in a parlor or other room, first remove the furniture-Moe C and take out the cues and balls from the compartment E, together with suitable markers, which are hooked on the two pins (2 6, right and left, so as to present the dials face outward. Next, lean the case forward and screw two of the legs into place at the corners of one end and let the case down upon these logs. Then screw in the two legs at the other end of case, and, finally, level the table with the screws E. All is now ready for a game. By a reverse operation the article is quickly replaced against the wall to serve as an ornamental piece of furniture.
I am aware that English Patent No. 1,574 of 1857 describes abilliard-table transversely divided into three sections hinged together, so as to fold upon one another; but
\Vhat I claim as new, and desire to protect by Letters Patent, is-
The described article having an undivided billiard-table face on one side, an undivided detachable furniture-face on the opposite side, and an intermediate hollow body to contain the appurtenances of a billiard-table, as set forth, and for the purpose specified.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
XVILLIAM P. FLINT.
