<p>A racking device (10), for racking a plurality of pool balls (7) upon a pool table have a felt top surface, comprising a rack (100) for containing the balls (7), a pressure base (13) located above the rack (100), and a sweeper frame (31) capable of relative vertical movement with respect to the rack (100). A plurality of sweeper pins (17) extend vertically downward from the sweeper frame (31), which each selectively engage one of the pool balls (7). A lever (55) causes the sweeper pins (17) to move downward toward the balls (7) to engage the balls (7) and urge them toward each other. A pressure pin (15) is associated with each of the balls (7), which firmly press upon the apexes of the balls (7) to press them downward into the felt top surface so that the balls (7) hold their positions in a tight, racked formation ever after the racking device has been lifted upward and away from the balls (7).</p> |
