CUE GAME

摘要

An elongated playing surface includes: a long axis, a rigid planar cue section at one end, at an opposite end a rigid planar object section rotatable about the long axis, and a mid section twistable about the long axis interconnecting the cue and object sections. The game is played with a cue ball, object balls and cue stick. End and side rails confine the balls atop the playing surface. One end rail, affixed to the object section, defines one or more openings at which are disposed respective ball pockets. The object of the game is to drive the object balls into a pocket by striking them with the cue ball driven by the cue stick. From time to time a mechanism tilts the object section and twists the mid section laterally about the long axis causing balls on said sections to roll according to gravity, making them moving targets.

主权项

1. A table for playing a cue game in which a cue ball is driven by a cue stick to strike an object ball toward a ball pocket, the table comprising:
(a) a generally horizontally disposed elongated playing surface comprising:
(1) a rigid planar cue section at one end of the playing surface,(2) a rigid planar object section at an opposite end of the playing surface, the object section being rotatable about a long axis of the playing surface,(3) a mid section intermediate the cue and object sections, the mid section being twistable about said long axis;(4) wherein the playing surface is seamless to a rolling ball regardless of the relative dispositions of the cue and object sections. (b) marginal rails for confining the balls atop the playing surface, said marginal rails including a rail opposite the cue section and affixed to the object section; (c) a ball pocket disposed at an opening defined by the rail affixed to the object section; and (d) a drive mechanism for tilting, from time to time, the object section laterally about the long axis relative to the cue section.
