Letters Patent No. 96,300, dated-.Nocember 2, 1869;'rmtedated October 29, 1869.
IMPROVED'MODE OI' MAKING THE BEDS OF BILLIARDFTBLES.
The Schedule referred to :in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.
To all whom 'it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM B. BILLrNes, of the city of Chicago, county of Cook, in the State of `I11i-` nois, have invented a new and improved Modeof Making Billiard-Beds; and Ido hereby declare that the following -is a full and exact description thereof, reference being had` to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.
The nature of my invention consists in making bilhard-beds out of artificial slate, stone, concrete, cement, ashlar, or any similar substance, by moulding the same into the shape and Aform desired, thereby 'producing a more perfect article than is now made from slate or marble, and at a great saving in rst cost.
To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will describe 4its construction and application to common use.
In the drawings annexedvFigure l represents a frame for a section of about one-half of a common-sized billiard-bed; scale, about one inch to the foot.
Figure 2 represents this frame iilled with artificial slate or stone.
Figure 3 represents a sectional view through the centre of the bed.
The frame may be made of wood or metal, with a space for the artificial stone, or slate, of from one-half y to one inch in depth; and the bed, when finished, should be about two inches in thickness.
It the frame be made. of wood, it will be desirable to construct the back in the form of panel-Work, to prevent warping, in which case, a frame for the back may be made, about four inches wide all around, and about one and a quarter inch thick, while the panelwork need not be overthrce-'ourths of an inch thick. Thegedge I) of the frame, if made of wood, should be about one-half of an inch thick.
A is the bottom of the ame, upon which the artificial stone rest-s.
B is the artificial stone, in the frame.
O shows a screw-hole mouldedin the articial stone or slate.
I), the sides of the frame.
E is a common wood-screw, (of which there will be Vseveral required in some cases,) set into the back A,
but projecting far enough to allow it to fasten into the artiticial stone, to assist in holding it firmly to the back A.
F and G show the position for the nut E and the holt I, of which several are required to secure the cushion-frame to the table.
J is a screw, which passes, through the hole C and K, into the frame of the` table, to secure the b edin its place. Several of these screws are required, unless some more simple means can be devised for fastening the bed to the table from underneath.
An artificial slate-can be made of melted rosin and about one ounce each of borax and beeswax to each pound of rosin, with slate-dust enough vto make the mixture about the consistency of putty in proper condition for glazing.
The altiiiciai slate, orstone, can be made perfectly even and level on the surface, by the use ot' a press before the hardening-process is completed, or the surface can be dressed down after the hardening-process is iinished, or partly finished, by the usual means 0f sand and water, or other means,
The moulding or shaping of the artiiiciai slate, or stone, may be done in a mould with a smooth, even, level surface, and the Wood frame A attached to it in a reverse position from that shown in drawings l and 2, thus giving,.where the material used will admit of it, a finished surface to the artificial slate, or stone, when it leaves the mould..
`The artificial slate, above described, will be easier worked by this latter method.
The protecting of the sides of the bed with the metallic or wood border D is of the first importance in preventingthe edges of thevbed from crumbling or chipping off in handling.
lt will at once appear plain to the intelligent mechanic that many other articles in common use can be made with the combined use of these artificial stone products and wood or metal, viz, wash-tubs, bath-tubs, l
cisterne, sinks, and other articles, where a harder surface is desired than that of wood. But experience and practice, in the adaptation of the same, are Inecessary to set it forth accurately and concisely.
What I claim as my invention, and wish to secure by Letters Patent, is A l. The moulding of' billiard-bedsout of artificial slate, stone, concrete, ashlar, or cerne/nt of any kind, substantially as described and set forth.
2. The combined use ofthe said artificial slate, stone, concrete, ashlar, or cement, with wood or metal, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
3. The nietalllic or wood border D, attached to al billiard-bed, substantially as described, and for the purposes set forth.
