Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of billiard equipment technology, specifically to a novel split-type sliding rail billiard bag. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most of the pool table pockets listed in the announcements include the following three structures:

[0003] 1. American-style household drop bag. This type of drop bag is handmade from PVC or genuine leather. It has a traditional style, strong decorative appeal, long service life, and is relatively expensive. It is mostly used on American pool tables.

[0004] II. American-style Plastic Golf Bags. These bags typically function as inner linings, with the outer shell usually featuring metal corner bends. There are two types: retriever bags and return bags. Retrieval bags are sealed at the bottom, storing golf equipment inside. Due to the limited bag size, the space occupied by the equipment can affect the placement of subsequent golf equipment. Later equipment may collide with the equipment being pocketed and bounce out of the bag. Return bags, on the other hand, have holes at the bottom, allowing the equipment to roll through to a ball collector or track. Because no equipment is stored inside the bag, there is no risk of equipment bouncing out.

[0005] 3. English-style drop pocket + slide rail; This type of drop pocket has a metal lining, covered with genuine leather or artificial leather, and the metal lining is wrapped with cotton mesh to connect to the slide rail; With this method, the ball will not interfere with the subsequent ball after it is pocketed, but the pocket and the slide rail are exposed, resulting in low overall aesthetics of the table and not meeting modern aesthetic requirements.

[0006] IV. Chinese-style drop pocket + ball collector: The upper part of this type of drop pocket is the same as the English drop pocket, except that the lower slide rail is replaced with a ball collector to gather all the balls together. Compared with the traditional English drop pocket + slide rail method, it is more convenient for users to collect and use the balls. However, since the ball collecting rail is also exposed, the overall appearance of the table is not aesthetically pleasing. Utility Model Content

[0007] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a new type of split-type sliding rail billiard bag, which can effectively solve various technical problems existing in traditional billiard bags.

[0008] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a novel split-type sliding rail billiard bag, including an upper ball bag, a lower ball bag, and a ball track arranged vertically; the lower end of the lower ball bag is provided with a mounting bracket that slides and adapts to the ball track, and the mounting bracket is also provided with a pre-tightening mechanism to fix the position of the lower ball bag; one side of the lower ball bag is provided with a ball drop opening for the ball to fall into the ball track; the ball track is provided with a track area for the ball to slide, and sliding parts that slide and cooperate with the mounting bracket are provided on both sides of the track area.

[0009] This technical solution adopts a split structure, where the lower and upper pockets are not in contact or fixed. The upper pocket can be selected in different types to be used in conjunction with the lower pocket as needed. The upper pocket can be installed at the ball drop position on the billiard table, and the ball track is installed on the billiard table below the upper pocket. The lower pocket, which is slidably installed on the ball track via a mounting bracket, can be adjusted to be directly below the upper pocket as needed and is fixed by a pre-tightening mechanism for easy positioning and adjustment. The ball falling from the upper pocket passes through the lower pocket and then slides into the ball track area from the drop point, ensuring a stable drop. Because the lower pocket and the ball track are integrated, the overall height is reduced, and after installation, it is completely covered by the billiard table skirt, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing overall effect compared to traditional structures.

[0010] Preferably, the ball drop hole of the lower ball bag is provided with a limiting gate for the ball to pass through, and the limiting gate has an inverted U-shaped structure.

[0011] Preferably, the bottom of the lower ball bag is provided with upper fixing holes for fixing the mounting bracket on both sides.

[0012] Preferably, the mounting bracket includes a bracket body arranged along both sides of the ball track along its length, and the bracket body is provided with a slide rail that is slidably adapted to the sliding part.

[0013] Preferably, the upper end of the bracket body is provided with lower fixing holes arranged at intervals.

[0014] Preferably, the pre-tightening mechanism includes a pre-tightening bolt disposed on the outside of one of the bracket bodies. The pre-tightening bolt is screwed and adapted to the bracket body. Rotating the pre-tightening bolt can cause the front end of the pre-tightening bolt to abut against the surface of the sliding part.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model adopts a split structure, and the upper ball bag can be selected to be used in combination with the lower ball bag as needed; the lower ball bag is slidably installed on the ball track through the mounting bracket and can be fixed by the pre-tightening mechanism, which is convenient for positioning and adjustment; since the lower ball bag and the ball track are integrated, the overall height is compressed, and after installation, it is completely covered by the skirt of the billiard table, which is more aesthetically pleasing than the traditional structure; it has high practical value.

[0020] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These embodiments are merely illustrative of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] It should be noted that, unless otherwise stated, the technical or scientific terms used in this application shall have the ordinary meaning as understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this utility model pertains.

[0022] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the figure, a specific embodiment of this utility model provides a novel split-type sliding rail billiard bag, including an upper bag 100, a lower bag 200, and a ball track 300 arranged vertically. The lower bag 200 has a mounting bracket at its lower end that is slidably adapted to the ball track 300, and the mounting bracket is also provided with a pre-tightening mechanism to fix the position of the lower bag 200. The lower bag 200 has a ball drop opening on one side to allow the ball to fall into the ball track 300. The ball track 300 has a track area 310 for the ball to slide, and sliding parts 320 on both sides of the track area 310 are slidably engaged with the mounting bracket.

[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, through the above configuration, the ball bag structure in this embodiment adopts a split structure. The lower ball bag 200 and the upper ball bag 100 are not in contact or fixed. The upper ball bag 100 can be selected to be used in combination with the lower ball bag 200 as needed. The upper ball bag 100 can be installed at the ball landing position of the billiard table. The ball track 300 is installed on the billiard table below the upper ball bag 100. The lower ball bag 200, which is slidably installed on the ball track 300 by the mounting bracket, can be slidably adjusted to be directly below the upper ball bag 100 as needed, and is fixed by the pre-tightening mechanism for easy positioning and adjustment. The ball falling from the upper ball bag 100 passes through the lower ball bag 200 and slides from the ball landing opening into the slide area 310 of the ball track 300, ensuring that the ball falls stably. Since the lower ball bag 200 and the ball track 300 are integrated, the overall height is compressed. After installation, it is completely covered by the skirt of the billiard table, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing overall effect compared to the traditional structure.

[0024] As mentioned earlier, when using this product, after the ball falls from the pocket of the billiard table, it passes through the upper pocket 100 and the lower pocket 200 before finally sliding into the ball track 300. Because there is a height difference between the lower pocket 200 and the ball track 300, to prevent the ball from slipping out of the drop hole and causing a break or missed shot, this embodiment has a limiting gate 400 at the drop hole of the lower pocket 200. The limiting gate 400 has an inverted U-shaped structure. In this way, the limiting gate 400 can guide the ball to fall stably from the drop hole and smoothly roll into the ball track 300.

[0025] As mentioned above, the lower ball bag 200 needs to be connected to the mounting bracket. In this embodiment, upper fixing holes 210 for fixing the mounting bracket are provided on both sides of the bottom of the lower ball bag 200. The upper fixing holes 210 are provided for stable connection of the mounting bracket.

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the mounting bracket provided in this embodiment includes a bracket body 500 arranged along both sides of the ball track 300. The bracket body 500 is provided with a slide rail 600 that is slidably adapted to the sliding part 320. Thus, the bracket body 500 is arranged along both sides of the ball track 300, allowing it to slide and engage with the corresponding sliding part 320. Furthermore, the upper end of the bracket body 500 is provided with lower fixing holes 510 spaced apart front to back. Thus, after aligning the upper fixing holes 210 and the lower fixing holes 510, the lower ball bag 200 and the bracket body 500 can be stably installed using screws or other connecting parts.

[0027] like Figure 1As shown, in this embodiment, the pre-tightening mechanism for fixing the position of the lower ball bag 200 includes a pre-tightening bolt 700 located on the outside of one of the bracket bodies 500. The pre-tightening bolt 700 is screwed onto the bracket body 500. Rotating the pre-tightening bolt 700 allows its front end to abut against the surface of the sliding part 320. Thus, after the ball track 300 is installed, the lower ball bag 200 can be slid to the desired position, and then the pre-tightening bolt 700 can be tightened to keep the mounting bracket fixed. Alternatively, the pre-tightening bolt 700 can be loosened for secondary positioning adjustment. After adjusting to the correct position, the pre-tightening bolt 700 is tightened again to keep the mounting bracket fixed.

[0028] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims and specification of this utility model.
