Racking system and device for pool balls

Abstract

This invention discloses a system and device to rack pool balls more expeditiously and accurately. This is accomplished by supplying the triangular rack with a detachable bottom plate to form an enclosure to contain the balls. After the balls are contained in the enclosure, and said filled enclosure is on the pool table, the racker places the base of said filled triangular rack against the foot rail, then turns hand knobs located on top of said triangular rack which unlocks the bottom plate from said triangular rack; then proceeds to push said triangular rack with the contained balls forward with a rolling motion to the racking spot and off the bottom plate which is still abutted against the foot rail; then backs up said filled triangular rack against the front of said bottom plate for consistent, measured accuracy of the racking of pool balls.

1 . A ball rack device for use with a plurality of billiard or pool tables of varying size of the type having a table assembly wherein the device may be abutted against a foot rail portion of the table assembly and the triangular portion of the device along with encase balls can be rolled off of the bottom plate (which is stationary at the foot rail) to the racking spot and backed up against the front, flat surface of said bottom plate resulting in the lead ball of the rack being centered accurately, said ball rack device comprising: 
 an encasement having a triangular configuration in plan view and having a base at one end;    a triangular shaped, detachable bottom plate having slots on each side in plan view and having a base at one end;    two spring-loaded hand knobs located on top surface of said triangular rack that is attached to a rod that exists on the bottom side of said triangular rack to form a right angled hook for the purpose of engaging or disengaging the bottom plate to and from said triangular rack.    three small discs adhered and located on bottom side of the bottom plate in a triangular configuration.    
   
   
       2 . A ball rack device according to  claim 1  wherein the length of the triangular, bottom plate is dependent upon the varying table sizes for the accurate centering of lead ball.
