Description

1 uitd 'tant @met @t HIL L, O F W E S-'I BR O O K, 'MA I NE.
n Letters Patent No. 87,566, dated lila/rch 9, 1869.
IMPROVEMENT IN BRInGEsroR 4PLAYING Poor..
The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.
.To all whom t't may concern.-
Be it known thatl, 0. ApHILL, of Westbrook, in the 'county of Cumberland, and State of Maine, have invented a new and useful improved Pool-Bridge; and I hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact, description thereof, which will enable others to make and use my invention, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this speciication, in which- Figure l is an end elevationl of my improvement.
FigureV 2 is a side elevation of ,the same.
This invention relates to that class of articles called bridges,. employed"on billiard-tables, to form a rest for theeue when the players ball is too remote from anyl position he can take around the table, for forming the bridgeby his ownv hand. y
These articles are also used to catch and arrange the balls when scattered over the table.
There are other uses to which, if properly constructed they might be applied, and subserve a very useful and convenient-purpose.
In the game of pool, Where small pins are-,placed on the ,table,'asthese are thrown down by the balls, they` are apt to be thrown or to roll under the shelving cushions or banks of the table, and then the playersmust pick up each pin by hand. If, however, there were an instrument so devised as to fit under' the shelving cushions or banks'of the table, the'pins could be easily raked together, at the centre of the board, without trouble, and replaced as the order of the games required. This cannot ,be done by the ordinary bridge as now con- I propose to effect this by the projecting sides a a,
, which allow the bridge to be drawn along, touching the bank, and extending under the same.
b shows the arrangement for using'the bridgeas an ordinary one. Y c, the arrangements for resting thecu'e when the 'bridge is turned upon end, as is often necessary.
' In the common bridge, as now used, the bladeis at right anglesto the stem, or handle d.
As seen in iig., 2, I arrange these at a certaininclination to each other, in order to the more convenient use of the bridge to collect balls over the table, and
the sliding. ofthe blade along the table.
The blade can I be triade of any useful material,4 as wood, gutta-percha, or other material.
On the bottom ofthe blade, at e, are curved places, cut up into the said blade a short distance. This is to `makethe friction on the table less, and to aid in catching and drawing along a pin if the blade should strike on one, instead of behind it. If the blade were even on the bottom, it would slip over the pin, but with the scallops, the pin will slip into one of them, and so be drawn along with the bridge. f
Particlesof dirt, Stef, can
is, so as to extend under the same.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is v The improved pool-bridge, as herein show'n and described. O. A. HILL. Witnesses:
