UNTTnD STATES PATENT OFFICE.
CHARLES FISHER, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
BlLLlARD-TABLE POCKET.
SEECKFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 690,052, dated December 31, 1901.
Serial No. 50,915. (No modelo To @ZZ whom t pray concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES FISHER, of the borough of Manhattan, city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Billiard-Table Pockets, of which the following is a specication.
My improvement relates to billiard-table pockets of the kind which return the balls to a receptacle convenient of reach,whence they may be taken when needed upon the table.
My improvement consists in a pocket composed, preferably, of one piece of leather having flexible portions near the outer edge of the table,where the ball is apt to strike with violence, an opposite fender like portion, against which the ball may recoil, and a complete tubular portion for leading to the conduit.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a side view of a billiard-table pocket embodying my improvement. Fig. 2 is a top view, and Fig. 3 is an end view. p
Similar letters of reference designate corresponding parts in all the figures.
Generallyspeaking,mybilliard-table pocket has two tubular members A and B, one approximately upright and the other inclined. The two are arranged at an obtuse angle. The upright member A has a flexible portion ci', which will be adjacent to the outer corner portion of the table and which is the portion where a ball entering the pocket is liable to strike with violence.4 The flexibility is secured by cutting numerous openings or slots, which may be of ornamental configuration and arranged relatively to form some ornamental design. The flexibility will obviate injury to the ball. Opposite is a fender-like portion a2, which may be continuous. A recoil of the ball from the flexible portion will not be liable to cause injury to the ball, be Vcause the ball will be arrested by the fenderlike portion. The lower member B is completely tubular.
As shown, all portions are made of one integral piece, the tubular member B being completed by a longitudinal seam which eX- tends up into the fender-like portion of the upright member A and there being a seam or union between the two members and between the iiexible and the fender-like portions of the upright member. This seam may be made by rivets a3 and by stitching a4.
The advantage of making the lower member tubular is to prevent it from spreading or changing shape from the operation of the weather.
That I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
l. A billiard-table pocket made from a single piece of leather which is united at two of its edges to form a tube, and provided with a transversely-arranged seam or union to have the end members thereof at an angle to each other.
2. A billiard-table pocket made from a single piece of material in a substantially tubular form and seamed transversely to have the end members at an angle to each other, one of said end members comprising a flexible portion and an oppositely-arranged fender portion.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specilication in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
CHARLES FISHER.
