BILLIARD-CUE TIP.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed April 2-8, 1909.
Patented Sept. 14, 1909. Serial No. 492,753.
To all whom "it may concern:
Be it known that I, Isaac A. GoRMoN, a citizen of the United States, residing in Richmond, in the county of Wayne and State of Indiana, have invented a new and useful BilliardCue Tip, of which the following is a full, clear, and comprehensive specification, being such as will enable others skilled in the art to which the invention pertains to make and use the same with exactitude.
The object of this my present invention is to provide a billiard cue tipwhich will be and durable in construction, easily operated and controlled, and which can be made and sold at a reasonable price.
The particular object I have in view is to produce a billiard one tip by means of which, when attached to the cue proper, a resilient and cushioned stroke may be imparted to the balls, by which the physical exertion is reduced to the minimum, and by which more accurate plays may be made.
(lther particular objects and specific advantages of my invention will appear in the course of the following specification, and that which is new and useful will be correlated in the appended claims.
The preferred manner of carrying out the principles of my invention in a practical manner, and that which in practice I have found to be highly efiicient and practical, is shown most clearly in the accompanying drawings, in whic Figure 1 shows my invention complete and 1n operative condition as attached to a cue. Fig. 2 is a central longitudinalsection 0f the same. Fig. 3 is an isometrical detail view of the body portion of my invention. Fig. 4 is a cross sectional view, as taken on the line di of Fig. 2. Fig. 5 is a central longitudinal section of the casing or jacket. And Fig. 6 is a face View of the cushion.
Similar indices designate like parts througl'iout the several views.
In order that the invention and its operation may be more fully understood I will now take up a detail description thereof, in which I will set forth the invention as briefly and as comprehensively as I may.
In the drawings the letter A denotes the smaller end-portion of a cue, having a tenon a projecting out centrally therefrom in an axial direction.
Numeral 1 denotes the body member of my invention, the periphery thereof cone l g I l I l l sponding with the periphery of the one A. Fxtending centrally into one end of the body Fig. 2.
Letters 0 and d denote two channels formed longitudinally of and on opposite sides of the body 1, same being identical with each other but oppositely disposed; these channels open at one end on each side of the mouth of the cavity Z), as indicated in Fig. 3. The other end of each of said neat and attractive in appearance, strong channels terminates in a rounded end, form ing shoulders c and f, respectively, which are located about midway of the body 1, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3.
Numeral 2 denotes the casing, which is round in cross section, same being of a diam eter such as to snugly surround the end portion of the one A, and also surrounding the body 1 which is slidable endwise therein. Said casing 2 is of a length considerably greater thanis the body 1, being adapted to extend therebeyond at either end thereof as shown in the drawings.
Located about midway of the length of the casing 2, preferably formed integral there with, and extending into the interior thereof, are the two oppositely disposed lugs, 2 and 2, they being formed round in cross section. Said lugs are of a diameter and extension such as to snugly fit in the respective channels c and (Z, and they are also adapted to fit the shoulders c and f. The inner periphery of the outer end portion of the casing 2 is provided with screw threads 9 as indicated.
Numeral 3 denotes the head, same being provided with a screw thread it formed around in its periphery, said threads 72 being adapted to engage with the threads g, as in Fig. 2. Attached on the outer face of the head 3 is the convex cap 4.
Numeral 5 denotes a cushion, formed of rubber, coil spring, or other resilient body, being of substantially the same diameter as is the head 3, and fitting the interior of the casing 2.
The device is adapted to be assembled as follows: Supposing that all of the parts to be disassociated with relation to each other. In order to assemble the device I first take the body 1 and insert it in the casing 2, to the position shown by the parts in Fig. 2, which manifestly will cause the lugs 2 and 2 to enter the channels 0 and 0?, respectively. After the above the tenon a should be rigidly securedin the cavity cushion '5. It is preferable that the head 3 be 7 position and prevent their inadvertent rebe held in ones hands'in the usual manner,
' The head '3 may now be on the cushion may be increased or diminished.
