Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of billiard table accessories, specifically to a triangular frame tray for a billiard table ball collector. Background Technology

[0002] Most existing pool tables are equipped with a ball collector; after a ball is pocketed, it is guided to the ball collector via a track. Currently, ball collectors on the market generally include the following types:

[0003] (1) Box-type container, used for collecting and storing golf clubs. After the golf clubs are pocketed, they are guided into the box-type container through a track for collection. When using the clubs, they need to be taken out and placed in the triangular frame on the table. Because each ball needs to be taken out and placed on the table, it is time-consuming and laborious. At the same time, the golf clubs placed on the table will leave small white marks on the tablecloth, causing physical damage to the tablecloth and affecting its service life.

[0004] (2) The ball drainer and triangular frame tray are separate. After the ball is pocketed, it is guided to the drainer via a track, and then the ball falls into the triangular frame tray below. In this structure, the ball drainer and the triangular frame tray are not fixed in place; they are separate structures. The ball drainer is connected to the track and then installed on the table by a hook assembly. The triangular frame is fixed to the table with thick metal hooks. Because the ball drainer and the triangular frame tray are not assembled and fixed, the height and left and right center of the ball drop are not easy to adjust during installation. It takes a lot of time to adjust during installation, which greatly increases the difficulty of installation and requires a skilled installer. The triangular frame tray only has a triangular frame area and no ball storage function. Because it does not have a ball storage function, the balls need to be stored separately when playing 9-ball or 10-ball games, which can easily lead to confusion and loss of the balls.

The lower end of the pallet hanger 100 passes through the hanger slot 350 and is fixed with the pallet steel plate 600 and the bracket fastener 700 by screws.

[0038] The tray 400 is placed on the base bracket 300, and its front part is provided with a triangular frame push-out port 410.

[0039] The triangular frame 500 is placed on the tray 400 and can be pushed out through the triangular frame push-out port 410 at the front of the tray 400.

[0040] Triangle frame 500 can be any type of commonly used billiard triangle frame, used to prevent the rolling of the ball and to position the ball.

[0041] In this embodiment, the tray holder 100 is fixed to the underside of the billiard table. The ball drainer 200 is connected to the ball collector track. In use, the tray 400 is placed on the base bracket 300, and the triangular frame 500 is placed on the tray 400. After the ball is pocketed, it is guided to the ball drainer 200 through the ball collector track, and then falls into the triangular frame 500 on the tray 400 through the ball drainer hole 210 on the ball drainer 200. After the ball is collected, the tray 400 and the triangular frame 500 are taken out together and placed on the billiard table cloth. The triangular frame 500 is pushed forward to the ball positioning point and then removed. The two are then put back into the base bracket 300, and the next round of shots can be taken.

[0042] This embodiment enables quick placement of the billiards without the need to remove each ball individually, preventing collisions with the billiard table during placement. When collecting the balls, they fall into the triangular frame 500 on the tray 400 via the ball-dropping component 200, preventing any balls from slipping or running away. The ball-dropping component 200, the tray hanger 100, and the base bracket 300 are integrated into one unit. During installation, simply fix the tray hanger 100 to the billiard table and align the ball-dropping component 200 with the ball collector track. No manual adjustments or positioning are required, making installation convenient and ensuring accurate ball placement and height.

[0043] In some embodiments, the base bracket 300 is provided with a ball storage trough 310 for storing balls that are not in use temporarily.

[0044] Preferably, the upper front of the base bracket 300 is provided with symmetrical bosses 320 extending diagonally backward from the middle, and ball storage grooves 310 are provided on the bosses 320 on both sides. The rear of the base bracket 300 is provided with an upwardly protruding tray limiting flange 330. The bosses 320 and the tray limiting flange 330 form a tray positioning groove 340 for positioning the tray 400. The rear of the tray 400 is provided with an upwardly protruding triangular frame limiting flange 420, and the front of the tray 400 forms a triangular frame push-out opening 410.
