Abstract: 15,468. Day, H. E. July 4. Tivoli billiards and the like. - Relates to a Tivoli billiards apparatus and consists in so constructing the e ballreceiving cups that a ticket &c. is obtained only when two balls are projected into one cup. A movable directing- device is provided to assist in deflecting the ball into any desired cup. A row of bottomless pockets 2 is secured to the board, the loweropenings being closed normally by a bar 6 which is supported by pivoted hangers 7. A hole 3, Fig. 3, in the back of e a c h pocket leads to a shoot 10, and it is arranged at such a distance above the bottom of the pocket that the first ball entering the pocket rests on the bar 6 but a second ball entering the same pocket passes through the opening into the shoot. A ball passing down the shoot comes to rest on a bracket 58 in front of a slide 60. The slide is normally prevented from moving by a detent 63, but the ball lifts the detent when the slide is moved by means of an external handle and permits the slide to operate any form of ticket or like delivery device. The ball then falls down a shoot into a container 11, which is opened by the insertion of a coin to deliver balls to the projector. The directing- device consists of a plate 16 having wedgeshaped blocks 17 secured to its face by screws 18 leaving a space between them for the passage of the ball. By loosening the screws 18, the blocks can be turned to alter the space between them. The plate is attached to a pin 21 which is secured to a link 33 connected to a pair of parallel links 22, 29. These links can be swung by an external handle so that the player can move the director across the face of the board, the parallel links keeping it upright. Behind the coin-slot 14 is a pivoted cradle consisting of two side plates 40, an end plate 41, and a curved flap 43 which closes the coin-slot when the cradle is swung to release the coin. A block 44, secured to one of the side plates 40, is engaged by spring-controlled pivoted links 45, which, by pressure against the block, restores the cradle to the position shown. The coin, after insertion, rests on a strut 42 on the cradle on a stop 48. The player presses a bar 49 to tilt the cradle to allow the coin to drop and this bar swings the bar 6 from beneath the pockets, thus allowing any balls in them to fall into the receiver 11.
