Pool table cue and ball holder
A holder that supports four cue sticks and a pool ball, preferably a cue ball. Holder contains four holes for insert of the tips of each cue stick and supports ball on top of holder. Shooting end of each cue stick is mounted in each corner pocket of pool table giving a teepee effect. A hook located inside center of holder is included to display placards or novelty items to add to the enhanced appearance of the pool table when not in use and for display. A small LED light is optional and located inside center of holder to accent displays from hook.
Cue sport aiming apparatus and method of use
An apparatus and method of use for assisting in ghost ball aiming are provided herein for use in cue sports. The apparatus enables a player to align an object ball with a target and determine an aim line at which to propel a cue ball to send the object ball to the target. The apparatus is selectively engaged or selectively attached to a cue stick to provide a visual indication of the aim line along the length of the cue stick. A pivot point of the apparatus is placed in contact with the play surface and secures an absolute position on the play surface as the cue stick and apparatus are rotated from a target line to the aim line.
Passive Upper Extremity Prosthesis
A passive upper extremity prosthesis for enabling a user with a residual arm to play a cue sport includes a socket that is configured to position over and to couple to a residual arm of a user. A connector that is coupled to the socket is configured to selectively couple to a cue stick to couple the socket to the cue stick, positioning the user to manipulate the cue stick to play a cue sport, such as pool and billiards.
Handheld billiards bridge
Invention comprises a hand held device for controlling and assisting with the striking of billiard balls. A user of the device slides the device over his or her knuckles on their bridge hand and the device, rather than the user's fingers, controls and directs the movement of the cue stick. The devices consists of a rigid thermoplastic or similar material with four apertures, into which the user the inserts his or her fingers, and various protrusions creating semi-circular guides through and against which the user slides the pool cue. The guides through which the tapered fore part of the cue stick is placed are located above and adjacent to the finger holes. In certain circumstances, the user can use one of the finger holes for directing the cue stick. Additionally, certain embodiments of the device may have fully circular (enclosed) guides for the cue stick.
Footwear storage and display rack
A footwear storage and display rack includes a mounting member configured to be mounted to a wall or other generally vertical surface. The mounting member includes an upper portion and a lower portion. A footwear shelf includes a proximal section and a distal section with the proximal section extending from the lower portion of the mounting member so as to be configured at an angle between about 0 degrees and about 90 degrees with respect to the wall or other generally vertical surface when the mounting member is secured to the wall or other generally vertical surface. The distal section extends from the proximal section. An accessory support extends from the upper portion of the mounting member.

ROLLING POOL BRIDGE
A rolling bridge is provided that includes a single wheel having a length greater than its diameter. The rolling bridge includes a chassis positioned to cover at least a portion of the single wheel and having at least two forks that extend along opposite ends of the wheel. An axle secures the wheel to the forks of the chassis and allows rotation of the wheel with respect to the chassis. The chassis includes one or more clip extensions that extend upward to define at least a portion of a substantially cylindrical channel having two open ends and an axis that is orthogonal to the axis of rotation of the wheel. The cylindrical channel is configured to secure the rolling bridge to a pool cue.
Bridge and cue support apparatuses to aid users with disabilities to play billiards and pool
Provided are bridge support apparatuses and cue stick supporting apparatuses to aid a person with a disabled hand or hands, or to aid a person with a missing hand or two missing hands, to allow a person to effectively play games that require a cue stick or another game related stick that requires supporting, aiming and carrying, including the games of billiards and pool. The cue stick supporting apparatuses are adjustable to grip onto and hold a cue stick to be used and to be carried.
Adjustable cue bridge
The Bragg Bridge is the only pool bridge that permits the height of the bridge head to be raised or lowered and tilted upward or downward thereby providing more support positions than conventional bridges; helping the player to avoid miscues or inadvertent contact or fouling the cue ball when attempting an over the ball shot, reducing the shot difficulty.
Adjustable billiards bridge device
An adjustable billiards bridge device may comprise a body having a first end and an opposing second end with one or more central cue surfaces disposed on the body. A first leg may be pivotally coupled to the first end of the body, and the first leg may have one or more peripheral cue surfaces. A second leg may be pivotally coupled to the second end of the body, and the second leg may have one or more peripheral cue surfaces. A coupler may be positioned on the body between the first end and the second end. The coupler may be configured to couple the device to a positioning stick which may be used by an individual to position the device on a billiards table. The first leg and second leg may be individually movable relative to the body to enable the device to assume a plurality of configurations.
