Abstract:
A portable billiard ball polishing device comprising:(a) a generally hollow body having a closed bottom surface, upstanding arcuate sidewalls and an open upper surface, thereby defining a cavity adapted for receipt and retention of ball support elements and adapted for the selective deposit of a plurality billiard balls to be cleaned and polished therein; (b) the hollow body comprising of a lower first circular sidewall segment of a first diameter and a conjoined upper second sidewall segment of a somewhat larger second diameter, with the first lower segment, thereby providing an internal surface, annular ledge located proximal to the jointure of the abutting first and second sidewall segments; (c) a first resilient pad of a first thickness with said pad having the first diameter sized to be snugly fitted into a lower first compartment as defined by the lower first segment; (d) a second resilient pad of a lesser second thickness than that of the first pad, and sized to be fitted into the body and to contact and rest functionally upon the underlying second pad; (e) a sleeve shaped, flexible liner configured to contact the inner sidewalls of the upper second segment and adapted to provide added frictional resistance to any rotating ball deposited within the upper segment of the hollow body receptacle; and, (f) a generally planar, buffing pad configured and sized to functionally penetrate the upper segment and to compressingly engage deposited billiard balls so as to rotate same during the polishing step.
