Abstract: A device for separating a ball, such as a cue ball from other balls, for example numbered balls of slightly smaller diameter than the cue ball, in which the balls are guided by track elements, in a directionally stable relation, to a separating station, with the track elements preferably being so constructed that the stable support thereby, at the separatIng station is terminated for all such balls, and a further track element disposed at the separating station, out of the path of smaller balls, for guiding the larger ball, in a stable relation from said separating station, whereby the smaller balls may move, in a different direction than the larger ball, unrestricted by further track elements, out of the separating station.

Abstract: A convertible table structure for a bumper pool game, particularly a convertible table structure at which persons may be seated for dining or other purposes, and in which tray members are provided for collecting playing balls passing through apertures in the playing surface of the bumper pool game, adjacent the periphery of the latter, wherein the ball trays are pivotally supported from the table structure with the tray member disposed at the underside of the table top in open communication with and directly below the cooperable ball aperture, the respective tray members being pivotally movable from a closed position closely adjacent to the underside of the table top and the adjacent, peripheral edge of the latter.
