  • Patent number: 4147347
    Abstract: Pool table croquet game equipment is produced in several components, many of which are the same, for convenience of manufacture, assembly, use, and storage, to play a game on a pool table using pool cues and pool balls in a procedural way very similar to playing lawn croquet. The nine croquet like arches or hoops, through which the pool balls are shot, are equipped at their tops with integral dual direction hollow receivers and at their bottoms with snap on feet, adjustable if necessary for the vertical alignment of the arches or hoops. These nine croquet like arches or hoops are positioned about the pool table top in relative positions similar to the positions of the arches used in playing lawn croquet. To keep them firmly and accurately spaced, they are joined together by using various tubes which are provided in essentially two groups of like lengths. Each tube passes through at least one of the integral dual directional hollow receivers at the tops of the nine croquet like arches or hoops.
