Abstract: A pool clip for detachably connecting to a support surface may include a first clamp holding member for clamping to the support surface, a second clamp holding member for cooperating with the first clamp holding member for clamping to the support surface, a biasing device for biasing the first clamp holding member and the second clamp holding member, and each of the first clamp holding member and the second clamp holding member having a billiard cue holding surface adapted for holding multiple billiard cues of varying diameters and lengths. The first clamp holding member may include an aperture for cooperating with an insert member, and the insert member may include a depression area adapted for cooperating with a cue ball.

Abstract: Self-supporting scrim or web structure, which is readily thermopleated, is provided for use in filter applications. The self-supporting scrim has very high porosity. When pleated and deployed for filter applications, the scrim or web structure retains the shape of pleats and contributes minimally to airflow resistance. The scrim or web structure is fabricated from synthetic fibers and latex binders using a wet laid process.
