BILLI'ARD CUE BRIDGE.

UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
SIDNEY RUHLAND, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
BILLIARD-CUE BRIDGE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 690,617, dated January 7, 1902. Application led October 25, 1901. Serial No. 79,915. (No model.)
To @ZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, SIDNEY RUHLAND, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of New York city, county and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Billiard Cue Bridges, of which the following is a specilication.
Thisinvention relates to a cue-bridge for billiard and pool which will straddle and thus clear any intervening object-ball and which will permit the play ball to be properly sighted.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a perspective View of my improved cuebridge; Fig. 2 a front View, and Fig. 8 a side view, thereof.
The letter a represents the forked support of the cue-bridge, composed of a pair of rounded diverging Shanks adapted to straddle an object-ball A. The lower ends of the Shanks are incased in rubber tips a, so as not to in- .jure the cloth. From the center of the fork a rises a perforated arm b, from one face of which project rearwardly a series of tubular cue-guides c. Between these guides the arm b is provided with wide sight-openings b. A socket b2 on arm b is adapted to receive a handle d.
The bridge is used in the usual manner and will clear any object-ball A intervening between the player and the cue-ball.
The cue B is introduced through that one of the tubular guides c which has the elevaa tion desired, while the cue-ball D is sighted through the opening b immediately above such guide.
What I claim is- A cue-bridge composed of a forked support adapted to straddle a billiard-ball, an arm projecting upwardly from said support, a series of tubular cue-guides projecting from the arm, and' sight-openings between said guides, substantially as specified.
Signed by me at New York city, county and State of New York, this 24th day of October, 1901.
