Abstract: The present invention is a pocket assembly to receive game balls for a billiard sports table where the rail piece is relatively resistant to very long term wear and a ball receiving piece is very rugged, but is relatively low cost and easily replaceable. In the present invention, the rail piece is preferably of cast steel, aluminum, brass or other long wearing metal and is adapted to be fixed to an opening in a billiard table rail.

Abstract: Disclosed is a billiard table ball pick-up box, comprising a bottom bracket and a side cover located above the bottom bracket, wherein the side cover comprises a cover plate, a left side plate and a right side plate located on both sides of the cover plate, and a scoreboard located on the top of the cover plate. The left side plate, the right side plate and the scoreboard are all hinged with the cover plate, or one side of the left side plate and the right side plate is spliced with both sides of the cover plate respectively. The side cover of the present utility model can be unfolded to be flat or disassembled during transport, so that the same container can accommodate more side covers, thus reducing the transportation cost.

Abstract: A pocket leg that has a cylindrical body, a base, and a top that forms a pool ball pocket is provided. The pocket leg can be used to form a rectangular pool table with six pockets constructed with six pocket legs. To each pocket leg are attached two brackets. The brackets of the four pocket legs that define the corners of the pool table are perpendicular to each other and the brackets of the two pocket legs that are centrally located are parallel to each other. Six brace pieces fit into the brackets and form the base of a table. The table also includes a top, apron and bumper railing. Pocket legs can be used to form a rectangular pool table with eight or more pockets. The pocket legs can form square, pentagonal, hexagonal, octagonal, or other polygonal shaped pool tables.

Abstract: A billiard-table assembly includes a billiard-table rail defining a sleeve therein and a billiard-table pocket having a pocket extension extending therefrom, a shape of the pocket extension corresponding to a shape of the sleeve, wherein the shape of the pocket extension and the shape of the sleeve are non-round.

Abstract: A pool table corner assembly for forming a corner pocket including a pair of adjacent rail members, a corner casting member, and a pocket member. Each rail member includes a supporting flange portion, a recessed portion, and a generally horizontal top surface. The corner casting member includes an overhanging mounting flange for mating with the recessed portion of each rail member thereby allowing the upper surface of the corner casting member to lie flush with the top surface of each rail member, and a recessed portion extending along at least a portion of its inner wall for receiving a lip portion associated with the pocket member, the lip portion having a top surface which lies flush with the upper surface of the corner casting member. In another embodiment, the corner casting member includes at least one spike member for engaging the supporting flange portion of the corresponding rail member.

Abstract: A wheel chair-accessible billiard table having a table top with a bottom being substantially parallel to the upper surface of the table top, smooth, and free of any obstruction. A central support column is below the table top, and the central support column is on a base. The central support column has dimensions such that the large wheels and pilot wheels of a wheel chair as well as the arm rests of a wheel chair can be moved under the bottom of said table top, and the base is low enough to avoid the foot rests of a wheel chair while also having lateral dimensions such that a foot rest of a wheel chair will contact the central support column before a pilot wheel of the wheel chair contacts the base.

Abstract: A pocket structure includes a first part having a ring body with a groove defined in the lower end thereof and a second part having a bottom with a periphery wall extending from the bottom. A flange extends from the top of the peripheral wall of the second part and is sized to be fitted into the groove. The ring body has a plurality of tapered lugs extending radially inward therefrom so that the flange slides over the tapered lugs and securely engaged with the groove.

Abstract: A pool table having a gravity fed ball return system with a ball return compartment positioned beneath the playing surface thereof is combined with a self-powered electrical light. Broadly, the light includes a light bulb disposed within the ball return compartment and an electrical circuit for selectively energizing the bulb. The bulb is powered by at least one dry cell battery supported by the pool table. Embodiments of the inventive light having bulbs of both incandescent and fluorescent types are illustrated. One embodiment includes an incandescent bulb which may be selectively energized by axial movement of a metallic rod within a housing secured to the pool table. The second embodiment of the light, including the fluorescent bulb, is provided with an electrical, pushbutton switch mounted upon the side of the pool table for selectively energizing the bulb.

Abstract: A combination pool table structure consisting of pocket corner mounts and pool pockets each secured by means of a press-fit, molded nylon fastener of a type having a flat head extending a cylindrical shank axially for a pre-set length and which the forms into a tapering insert portion having one or more interfering wedge formations on the insert portion circumfery.
