Benefits of technology

[0003] This present invention will eliminate the inconveniences and inaccuracies.

Problems solved by technology

The majority of these pool parlors, in the past and still at present had and have a cumbersome system for players going to the tables.
The cumbersome system is when a player goes to the operator and receives a tray of balls and takes them to a table, places the tray of balls on the table and looks and obtains a triangular rack and transfers the balls from the tray to the triangular rack.
In both events, the racker may also turn the rack a few degrees to the left or right, also causing an inaccurate racking of the balls.

Embodiment Construction

[0015] Referring more particularly to the drawings, as best shown in FIG. 1 numeral 1 shows the triangular rack with the hand knobs 2.

[0016]FIG. 2 shows the triangular rack 1 with the hand knobs 2 and the shaded, bottom plate 3.

[0017]FIG. 3 shows the shaded, bottom plate 3 and the slots 4 on each side of the bottom plate 3. The three small discs 9 are located on bottom plate 3 in a triangular configuration.

[0018]FIG. 4 shows an abbreviated size of one of the sides of the triangular rack 1 with one of the hand knobs 2 and directly under said hand knob 2 is a spiral spring 5. Passing through said triangular rack 1 and through said spiral spring 5 and embeded in said hand knob 2 is a rod 6 which is bent at a right angle to form a hook 7. The slot 8 in said triangular rack 1 is to receive and countersink said hook 7 when said spiral spring 5 is un-tensioned.

[0019] While a preferred embodiement of a racking system and device for pool tables is disclosed, it is to be understood that v...

Abstract

This invention discloses a system and device to rack pool balls more expeditiously and accurately. This is accomplished by supplying the triangular rack with a detachable bottom plate to form an enclosure to contain the balls. After the balls are contained in the enclosure, and said filled enclosure is on the pool table, the racker places the base of said filled triangular rack against the foot rail, then turns hand knobs located on top of said triangular rack which unlocks the bottom plate from said triangular rack; then proceeds to push said triangular rack with the contained balls forward with a rolling motion to the racking spot and off the bottom plate which is still abutted against the foot rail; then backs up said filled triangular rack against the front of said bottom plate for consistent, measured accuracy of the racking of pool balls.

Description

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0001] This invention of a triangular rack with a bottom, detachable plate is designed to be used on all sizes of pocket and ball return pool tables. It is most advantageous for usage in pool parlors where tables are rented by the hour. The majority of these pool parlors, in the past and still at present had and have a cumbersome system for players going to the tables. [0002] The cumbersome system is when a player goes to the operator and receives a tray of balls and takes them to a table, places the tray of balls on the table and looks and obtains a triangular rack and transfers the balls from the tray to the triangular rack. Then proceeds to rack the balls at an approximate racking spot. The racker cannot see the exact racking spot because the lead ball is blocking out the racking spot; so the racker will approximate said racking spot. The racker may roll the rack a little too forward or backward. In both events, the racker may also turn the rack a f...
