GAME-TABLE CUSHION.
Application filed September 11, 1922.
This invention relates to rubber cushions for game tables for playing billiards, pocket billiards and the like and its object is to provide a cushion which will impart a greater rebound speed to the ball and which will continue to give satisfactory results for an extended life under ordinary playing conditions.
In the accompanying drawings I have illustrated a selected embodiment of the invention and referring thereto- Fig. 1 is a face view; and
Fig. 2 is a sectional view on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1.
The cushion 5 has a flat top 6, a flat bottom 7 of less width than the top, and a flat back 8. In the cushion shown the back 8 is at right angles to the too and to the bottom. The nose 9 of the cushion is rounded and located at the juncture of the inclined front face 10 with the top 6. The front face 10 extenos to and preferably slightly below the middle of the cushion, between the top and bottom thereof, and it terminates in a short rearward step 11 which is connected by a short flat face 12 with a wider rearward step 13, and a flat face 1& of greater height than the flat face 12 but of less height than the inclined face 10 connects the step 13 with the bottom 7 of the cushion.
My invention provides a substantial volume of rubber at the top of the cushion to react upon the ball and cause it to rebound at a comparatively high rate of speed. This large volume of rubber is located above the line somewhat below the middle of the cushion and the front face of the upper part of the cushion is inclined rearwardly at a considerable angle. The lower part of the cushion is much IliITl OWGI than the upper part serial No. 587.286.
and the vertical front face of the lower part is connected with the inclined front face of the upper part by steps which enable the entire upper part of the cushion to yield more or less under the impact of a ball to cause the ball to rebound at a high rate of speed. I have indicated a ball of standard size at 15 and the bed of a table at 16 to show the relative positions of the hall and cushion so that my invention may be better understood.
It is possible to vary the shape and proportion of parts somewhat from the form shown in the drawings and I reserve the right to make all such changes as fall within the scope of the following claims.
I claim:
1. A one-piece rubber cushion for game tables wider at its upper portion than at its lower portion, having its top and bottom substantially at right angles to its back, a flat front face for its upper portion inclined rearwardly from the vertical and extending from the top of the cushion to a point below the middle thereof, a fiat vertical face at its lower portion, and two right angle steps between said faces.
2. A rubber cushion for game tables wider at its upper portion than at its lower portion and having a flat face at its upper por tion inclined rearwardly from the vertical a short horizontal rearward step at the bottom of said inclined face, a short vertical face adjoining said rearward step, a longer rearward step at the bottom of said short vertical face, and a wider vertical face connecting the bottom of the cushion with said longer step.
JESSE O. MATTESON.
