Cue with a rubber floor support

摘要

A cue with a rubber floor support (16) at the butt end (1) is so designed, according to the invention, that impact forces from setting down are transmitted from the cue to the rubber floor support (16) by a compression spring (3) supported at the butt end (1). It has become habitual for billiard players occasionally to rap the butt on the floor with the cue positioned vertically. When this is done, the impact noise from the known rubber floor supports is transmitted to the room situated under the billiard room which is also sometimes used residentially. By contrast, the cue according to the invention avoids propagation of sound in the event of an impact on the floor. <IMAGE>
