Abstract:
A billiard cue bag, comprising:a main bag body adapted to receive segments of a billiard cue therein, said main bag body having a top portion with an outer wall surface, said top portion defining an access opening; a cover part hinged to said top portion of said main bag body, said cover part being movable relative to said main bag body between closed and open positions for closing and opening said access opening, respectively; and a cover locking device including a rotatable fastener unit mounted on said main bag body, a retaining flap connected to said cover part, and a lock body connected removably to said fastener unit; said fastener unit including an elongate base part secured to said outer wall surface of said top portion of said main bag body, an elongate rotary part having a mounting end mounted rotatably on one side of said base part opposite to said outer wall surface of said top portion of said main bag body, and a distal end opposite to said mounting end in a transverse direction relative to said outer wall surface of said top portion of said main bag body, said rotary part having a length and a width less than those of said base part, the length of said rotary part being greater than the width of said base part, and a lock retaining flange projecting in the transverse direction from said distal end of said rotary part, said lock retaining flange being formed with a shackle engaging hole, and having a length and a width less than those of said base part; said retaining flap being formed with an elongate slot that has a size and shape corresponding to those of said base part; said rotary part being rotatable relative to said base part from a releasing position, where said rotary part extends generally parallel to said elongate slot such that said lock retaining flange and said rotary part are extendible through said elongate slot so as to enable said base part to extend into said elongate slot and so as to enable said retaining flap to lie against said outer wall surface of said top portion of said main bag body for disposing said cover part at the closed position, to a retaining position, where said rotary part extends generally transverse to said elongate slot such that said retaining flap can be restricted thereby from moving away from said outer wall surface of said top portion of said main bag body; said lock body having a shackle retained removably on said lock retaining flange at said shackle engaging hole.
