Electric cleaning device for billiard balls

摘要

The cleaning device has a housing with a generally cylindrical side wall, a top access opening and a closed bottom. A spindle rotatably fitted through the bottom of the housing extends upwards along an axis of the housing. A turntable which supports the balls is coaxially mounted on the spindle for rotational movement. An idle wheel with compartments along its circumference is concentrically mounted on the turntable for relative rotation. Each compartment receives a ball in a spaced apart relationship to the other balls.An electric motor rotatably drives the spindle and the turntable in unison to subject the game balls to a random rolling movement. This also results in a planetary movement around the spindle so that the idle wheel is pushed by the game balls into rotation about the spindle.
