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.

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...
