29,266 - Frederick J. Williams, of London, for Improvement connected with billiard cues.
18,250 - J. Watt, of Earlsfield, for Billiards, etc. The cushions of billiard, etc., tables are formed so as to be interchangeable, and so that new cushions may be put on by unskilled persons. The rubber cushion is attached to a strip which is connected to bolts passing through the cushion frame. The wing nuts which fasten the strip in position are covered by the moulding which is detachably fixed by dowels, etc., to the frame. The cushions are made in standard sizes, so that when one is worn out a new one can be readily attached to the cushion frame.
In a modification, a slotted metal plate is fixed in front of a recess in the frame and the strip is provided with studs which pass through the slots of the plate and secure the strip in position. The moulding is in this case integral with the frame.
