Letters Patent No. 99,393, dated February 1, 1870.
IMPROVEMENT IN BILLIARD-C'USHIONS.'
The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.
To all whom it may concern.-
Beit known that I, JOHN BERLIEN, of Chicago, in the county of Cook, and State of Illinois, have invented certain Improvements in Billiard-Cushions, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.
My invention relates to billiard-tables; and
It consist-s in a novel method of constructing and attaching a steel spring in place of the ordinary cushion.
Figure l is a perspective view of a section of a billiard-table rim, having my improved cushion applied, and
Figure 2 is a cross-section of the steel strip detached.
A is the rim of a table, having the cleat B secured thereto in the usual manner.
v C is the steel strip, made of any requisite thickness, and bent to approximate an L-shape in cross-section. The lower and horizontal portion of this strip, I insert between and rivet to two metal bars, g, and on its hack side, so as to come flush with the upper edge, vI rivet a steel reinforcing-strip, f. The under front edge of the cleat B I cut away, to receive the lower part of the steel, and, after inserting the same therein, secure it by screws b, as shown in fig. 1.
In this manner the steel and the cleat are. secured rigidly together at their lower edges, while the upper or inclined portion ot' the former is free to yield or spring backward.
I next provide thin sheet-rubber, D, and, securing one edge to the lower front' edge of the cleat B, behind the steel, draw it tightly over the steel, and around under the cleat, where I secure it by tacks, as shown in iig. I.
Behind the covered steel, between it and the cleat, I pack cotton, or similar material, F, to prevent or deaden any metallic sound caused by the ball striking the cushion.
Over the whole I then draw the cloth E, tacking its lower edge to the under side of the cleat, and securing its upper edge by a strip, h, driven into a rab' het in the usual manner.
Having thus described my invention,
NVhat I claim, is- 1. A cushion for billiard-tables, consisting of the steel strip C, having the strips or bars g g attached.
thereto, the whole secured iu place, substantially as described.
2. lhe reinforce or strip f, secured to the upper edge of the spring or strip C, substantially as set forth.
IJOI-IN BERL'IEN.
