Chalk-Holder for Billiard-Cues System

Abstract

A chalk-holder for billiard-cues system including a body having two opposing cavities. Each opposing cavity is configured with one or more frictional elements. The frictional elements of the first cavity configured to removably retain chalk. The frictional elements of the second cavity configured to removably retain a pool cue. The device may be used to store chalk between uses during billiards.

What is claimed is new and desired to be protected by Letters Patent is set forth in the appended claims: 
     
         1 . A chalk-holder for billiard-cues system comprising:
 a body having first and second ends;   a first cavity extending into the first end, the first cavity including one or more frictional elements configured to retain chalk in a removable relationship; and   a second cavity extending into the second end, the second cavity including one or more frictional elements configured to retain a pool cue in a removable relationship.   
     
     
         2 . The chalk-holder for billiard-cues system of  claim 1 , wherein the second cavity further includes one or more support elements extending between the one or more frictional elements and the body. 
     
     
         3 . The chalk-holder for billiard-cues system of  claim 2 , wherein the one or more support elements extend from corresponding frictional elements at a non-normal angle. 
     
     
         4 . The chalk-holder for billiard-cues system of  claim 2 , wherein each frictional element has a corresponding support element. 
     
     
         5 . The chalk-holder for billiard-cues system of  claim 2 , wherein the one or more support elements extend from the one or more frictional elements to the body along a length of the one or more frictional elements. 
     
     
         6 . The chalk-holder for billiard-cues system of  claim 1 , wherein the frictional elements of the second cavity form a cylindrical profile. 
     
     
         7 . The chalk-holder for billiard-cues system of  claim 1 , wherein a pool cue is removably retained in the second cavity. 
     
     
         8 . The chalk-holder for billiard-cues system of  claim 7 , wherein the pool cue is removable and replaceable by hand. 
     
     
         9 . The chalk-holder for billiard-cues system of  claim 1 , wherein chalk is retained in the first cavity. 
     
     
         10 . The chalk-holder for billiard-cues system of  claim 9 , wherein the chalk is removable and replaceable by hand. 
     
     
         11 . The chalk-holder for billiard-cues system of  claim 9 , wherein the chalk is friction-fit by one or more frictional elements. 
     
     
         12 . The chalk-holder for billiard-cues system of  claim 1 , wherein the body is semi-rigid. 
     
     
         13 . A chalk-holder for billiard-cues system comprising:
 one or more first frictional elements configured to retain chalk in a removable relationship; and   one or more second frictional elements configured to retain a pool cue in a removable relationship, wherein the one or more first frictional elements are secured to the one or more second frictional elements to retain the chalk and pool cue with respect to each other.   
     
     
         14 . The chalk-holder for billiard-cues system of  claim 13 , wherein the one or more first frictional elements deflect to retain chalk in the removable relationship. 
     
     
         15 . The chalk-holder for billiard-cues system of  claim 13 , wherein the one or more second frictional elements deflect to retain the pool cue in the removable relationship. 
     
     
         16 . The chalk-holder for billiard-cues system of  claim 13 , wherein the one or more first and second frictional elements are secured within a body at opposing first and second ends, respectively. 
     
     
         17 . A method of using a chalk-holder for billiard-cues system, the method comprising the steps of:
 providing a chalk holder for billiard-cues system including one or more first frictional elements configured to retain chalk in a removable relationship and one or more second frictional elements configured to retain a pool cue in a removable relationship;   inserting chalk into frictional engagement with the one or more first frictional elements; and   inserting a pool cue into frictional engagement with the one or more second frictional elements.   
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 17 , further comprising the step of removing the chalk. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 17 , further comprising the step of removing the pool cue. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 17 , further comprising the step of removing the pool cue and inserting a second pool cue into frictional engagement with the one or more second frictional elements; wherein the second pool cue differs in size from the pool cue.
