Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of billiards auxiliary equipment technology, specifically to an automatic ball-spinning and auxiliary ball-feeding device that relies on gravity for automatic ball feeding, elastic band reset, and manual cue triggering. Background Technology

[0002] In billiards, traditional ball placement methods rely heavily on manual operation, resulting in low efficiency, inconsistent placement, and tedious repetitive operations. Existing ball placement devices often employ motor drives or complex mechanical structures, leading to high costs, large size, and the need for power supply. These are unsuitable for home use, small tables, and portable applications, and cannot achieve a fully mechanical, low-cost, continuous, automatic ball feeding and resetting function. Therefore, developing a simple, power-free, easy-to-operate, and continuously reusable billiards ball placement device has significant practical value. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention discloses an automatic ball-spinning and auxiliary ball-feeding device for billiards, comprising a main S-shaped track, a ball-positioning track, a rubber band pull-and-reset assembly, and a cue trigger hook. The main body of the device adopts an S-shaped curved track structure, with the ball inlet position higher than the ball outlet position, allowing the billiard ball to automatically slide from the high point to the low point of the track under its own weight, completing continuous automatic ball feeding. A rubber band pull-and-reset assembly is set at the ball outlet position to connect the main track and the ball-positioning track and to realize the automatic reset of the ball-positioning track. After the billiard ball enters the ball-positioning track, the user uses the cue to flick the hook above the track to complete the precise ball-spinning. After releasing the hook, the rubber band pulls the ball-positioning track to reset, and the billiard ball in the S-shaped track rolls back into the ball-positioning track under gravity, realizing the next ball-spinning cycle.

[0004] This invention adopts a purely mechanical structure design, requiring no electric drive. It relies on gravity to deliver the ball, elastic bands to reset it, and manual touch to trigger the ball. It has the advantages of stable structure, convenient use, rapid response, high degree of automation, low cost, and simple maintenance. It can be widely used in various scenarios such as home entertainment, billiards clubs, billiards teaching and competition training.

[0005] This invention solves the technical defects of traditional manual ball placement, such as low efficiency and inconsistent placement, and the complex structure, high cost, and electricity requirement of existing automated equipment. It realizes low-cost, purely mechanical, recyclable, and highly stable automatic ball feeding and precise ball placement functions. Attached Figure Description

[0007] (Notes in the image) 1—Main S-shaped track 2—Billiards 3—Ball positioning track 4—Rubber band pull and reset assembly 5—Club trigger hook Detailed Implementation

[0008] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0009] Structural composition The device is a purely mechanical structure, mainly composed of the main S-shaped track (1), ball positioning track (3), rubber band pull-rotate reset assembly (4), and cue trigger hook (5).

[0010] The main S-shaped track (1) is an integrated structure. The ball inlet end of the track is higher than the ball outlet end, forming a natural slope to ensure that the billiard ball (2) can roll smoothly by its own weight.

[0011] The ball positioning track (3) is set at the end of the main S-shaped track (1) to receive a single billiard ball and achieve precise positioning of the ball.

[0012] The elastic band pull-reset assembly (4) connects the main body S-shaped track (1) and the ball positioning track (3) to provide elastic reset pull force.

[0013] The cue trigger hook (5) is set above the ball positioning track (3) so that the user can use the cue to complete the ball swinging action.

[0014] Work process 1. Automatic ball delivery The billiard ball is placed into the high point of the S-shaped track (1) of the main body. The billiard ball rolls down the S-shaped track by its own weight. After reaching the low point of the track, it enters the ball positioning track (3) to complete the automatic ball delivery.

[0015] 2. Precise ball placement The user uses a cue stick to gently push the cue stick trigger hook (5) above the ball positioning track (3), which moves the ball positioning track (3) to send the internal billiard ball to the target position and complete the precise ball placement.

[0016] 3. Automatic Reset After the ball is placed, the cue stick is released, and the elastic band pull-reset assembly (4) pulls the ball positioning track (3) back to the initial position through elastic tension, thus achieving automatic reset.

[0017] 4. Cyclic operation After the ball positioning track is reset, the next ball in the main S-shaped track (1) will automatically roll into the ball positioning track (3) again by gravity, waiting for the next ball to be swung, thus realizing continuous cycle operation. Beneficial effects

[0018] 1. Purely mechanical structure, requiring no power supply or motor, safe, reliable, and with an extremely low failure rate.

[0019] 2. Relying on the ball's own weight to feed the ball, no manual intervention is required, resulting in smooth, continuous, and stable ball feeding.

[0020] 3. The rubber band automatically resets, the movement is sensitive, the user experience is smooth, and the ball placement is highly consistent.

[0021] 4. It has a simple structure, small size, low cost, is easy to install and carry, and is applicable to a wide range of scenarios.

[0022] 5. Simple to operate; the ball can be placed with just a light flick of the cue stick, making it suitable for all billiards users.

[0023] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the principles and structure of the present invention are included within the protection scope of the present invention.
