A Telescopic or Extensible Billiard Rest, Butt, or Cue.
I, THOMAS WATSON, of 50, West Regent Street, Glasgow, North Britain,
Writer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to a telescopic or extensible billiard rest, butt or cue
and has for its object to enable the shaft of the rest or cue to be instantly
extended beyond its normal length when required.
This may be effected by any convenient means such as by making the shaft
tubular and fitting a rod therein which can be pushed out from the end thereof
to the extent required, and drawn in again to bring the rest or cue back to
its normal length. These movements may be effected by slotting the tube, which
may be of metal such as aluminium, and surrounding it with a sliding ring or
ferrule to which the rod within the slotted tube is attached; or the rod may be
provided with a projection through the slot.
My invention inay be applied to either a billiard rest, butt or cue.
In applying it to a rest, the head or guide thereof is secured to the end of
the sliding rod; and my invention may be advantageously and more particularly
applied to the adjustable head or guide described in the Specification of my
Patent No. 7466 of 9th May, 1884.
I, THOMAS WATSON, 50, West Regent Street, Glasgow, Writer, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to
be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-

the sliding rod; and my invention may be advantageously and more particularly
applied to the adjustable head or guide described in the Specification of my
former Patent No. 7466 of 9th May, 1884.
As shewn in the accompanying drawing, the tubular shaft A is telescoped
within the outer tube B, so that the shaft can be lengthened or shortened.
The inner tube A may be drawn within or extended out of the tube B by
means of the ring or sleeve C which is attached by a screw or other means to the
inner tube, a groove D being provided in the outer tube to allow of its backward
and forward travel.
When it is desired to adjust the height of the rest E the telescopic shaft is
rotated in the same manner as that described in the Specification of my said former
Patent so as to elevate or lower the adjustable portion e of the rest, by means of
the internal gear or cam not shewn in this drawing.
I may make the telescopic tubes of aluminium or of other metal or material.
I do not limit myself to the precise method hereinbefore described of effecting
the telescopic arrangement as it is obvious that it may be effected in other analo-
gous ways.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:
The telescopic or extensible shaft for billiard rests, butts, or cues, substan-
tially as herein before described and shewn in the accompanying drawing.
