A support that is positioned on either a table or a tripod and holds a cue stick to either train an arm of a billiard player to move in a perfectly straight fashion or to function as a bridge. The support includes a base and a cue stick-moving portion. The base is positioned on either the table or the tripod. The cue stick-moving portion moves relative to the base and holds the cue stick to either train the arm of the billiard player to move in the perfectly straight fashion or to function as the bridge.

Filament winding or another technique can be used to create composite parts having various layers of pigmented fibers. The composite parts can then be milled to form one or more flat surfaces on the composite part. Due to the layering of pigmented fibers, the flat surfaces can have a pattern that resembles wood grain or another pattern. These milled composite parts can then be used as components for furniture or other items.

A universal receiver device and system. In one embodiment, a perimeter of a device includes a pair of fixed members and one pivotable member that is pivotable between an upward and downward direction. The device includes an inner billiard ball receiving cavity that may retain fifteen billiard balls. The result is a hybrid triangle for easily, and consistently, tightly racking billiard balls.

A lighting system for a billiard table comprising a frame, a plurality of lights disposed in the frame, and at least one lens coupled to the frame. The at least one lens is configured to focus a light produced by at least one light disposed in the frame.

A method for mounting a table felt of a pool table is provided. A computer numerical control (CNC) glue coating layer is set around a bottom surface of the table felt. A straight notch and a first oblique notch are formed at a position on the table felt corresponding to a side pocket opening. A second oblique notch is formed at a position on the table felt corresponding to a corner pocket opening. A first protective film is teared off. A first adhesive surface is bonded to edges of side and bottom surfaces of the slate. The table felt is laid on the slate with the CNC glue coating layer facing toward the slate. A second protective film is teared off. The table felt is stretched. The CNC glue coating layer is bonded to a second adhesive surface. A pool table and a table felt thereof are also provided.

A billiard table top lighting apparatus provides substantially uniform lighting across the surface of a billiard table surface. In one form, the lighting apparatus includes a frame supporting lights that are non-centrally placed such that no lights are supported above a middle portion of the billiard table surface. So configured, the frame can have an attractive profile and further mount additional items above the billiard table surface to enable a variety of other features. For example, the frame may support one or more cameras, one or more motion sensors, one or more microphones, and/or one or more computing devices to enable any of a variety of innovative features. Such features could include automatic game play recording from one or more perspectives, merged video track storage for replay, review, and analysis, automatic lighting and dimming control, control of the apparatus from any mobile device, and the like.
