The invention relates to a device for a folding billiard table, for pocket billiards or for carom billiards, allowing the storage thereof in a reduced space. The innovative invention relates to a device for unfolding and folding the two table halves of the playing surface, hinged to the portable structure , with no risk of injury. The cloth, which is attached to a modular tension system during the movements, loosens upon folding and becomes taut again upon unfolding. The mobile structure follows the movements of the table halves and is hinged to either side of a mechanism that ensures symmetry. The legs are provided with casters that allow the billiard table to be moved, as well as height-adjustable locking skids for levelling the playing table. The device according to the invention is perfectly suitable for use in multi-purpose rooms and, according to the choice of the material of the table halves, can be intended for the general public or professionals.

A billiards device includes a billiards table and billiards balls; wherein the billiards table includes a frame supported by supporting legs; a playing surface supported on the frame, which is rectangle and covered by a felt; two end rails and two side rails affixed to and around the playing surface; and four corner parts connecting the end rails and the side rails; wherein the billiards balls comprises white balls and black balls; the white balls are placed on the first part of the playing surface and the black balls are placed on the second part of the playing surface in equal forms; four corner holes are drilled at the four corner parts, four side holes are drilled at quarter points of the side rails, and two end holes are drilled at center points of the end rails. A using method of the billiards device is also provided.

A jack for leveling a pool table fits under at least one leg of the table. The jack has a circular base disk and a circular upper disk, with a gear wheel disposed between the disks. Opposing surfaces on the disks and the gear wheel have pairs of cooperating circular ramped grooves therein, with each pair of grooves receiving a ball. A worm gear has teeth in geared connection with the teeth of the gear wheel. Turning the worm gear causes the gear wheel to rotate, which causes the balls to roll in their respective pair of grooves, thus creating an axial motion of the gear wheel and upper disk. By selectively turning the worm gear in a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction, the axial motion may be used to selectively raise or lower the pool table, in order to level the playing surface.

A compact folding billiard ball rack includes first and second sides coupled about a pivot portion. Each side is formed with hinge portions coupled to the pivot portion. The two sides can be pivoted or folded into a compact side by side position and into a V-shaped racking position. Magnetic latches are provided for releasably and repeatably holding the first and second sides in predetermined fixed positions.

Apparatus for billiards break shot practice, comprising a lightweight force absorption pillow and a triangle rack pattern combination. Game player breaks with maximum force to achieve greatest transfer to cue ball travelling to break up game balls, but using a reduced three-game-ball configuration with assistance of pillow and pattern that well-simulates virtually the same resistance of full fifteen-game-ball tournament game ball formation. A player saves tremendous time and effort in game ball setup and can practice break shots in rapid succession to develop high levels of breaking skill. Head and cue ball travel are observed in more iteration per practice session. The pillow has a storage flap to hold pattern, making it portable and quick to layout. Aligning pillow and pattern different distances apart simulates different ball resistances for game variations like 9-ball or 10-ball, or for different table sizes.

A racking device for arranging a plurality of balls on a table includes a frame having a proximal end and a distal end, a racking portion coupled to the frame adjacent the distal end, a handle bar coupled to the frame, and a ball setting member comprising an engagement surface. The racking portion includes at least two side walls that are coupled together to form a corner. The distal end of the frame and the side walls define a void configured for receiving the plurality of balls. The ball setting member is coupled to the handle bar, and the engagement surface of the ball setting member is movable toward the void to urge the balls against the side walls and into abutment with each other and away from the void without disturbing the arrangement of the balls.
