Adjustable cue bridge

Abstract

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.

Claims

1. An adjustable cue bridge device comprising: a flat bridge-head having a plurality of concave openings formed in a front edge of the bridge head for receiving and guiding a cue stick; a telescopic support having a tripod base, the telescopic support allowing height adjustment of the cue bridge device; a ball joint positioned at an upper end of the telescopic support; wherein the ball joint facilitates movement of the flat bridge-head from side-to-side and upward and downward.

(2) FIG. 1 is an isometric side view of the Bragg Bridge with its 3 embodiments.

(3) FIG. 2 is an isometric side view of the Bragg Bridge according to the Head/top section embodiment.

(4) FIG. 3 is an isometric side view of the Bragg Bridge according to the Rotating Ball Joint Connector/middle embodiment. The side knob allows the ball joint connector to secure the head into the desired rotated position.

(5) FIG. 4 is an isometric side view of the Bragg Bridge according to the Telescopic Leg with tripod feet/lower section embodiment, in an extended position. The side knob secures height positioning.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

(6) The Bragg Bridge can be constructed from several materials, including wood, metal, plastic or acrylic.

Head: (Top Embodiment)

(7) The first embodiment of the Bragg Bridge is the Head, illustrated in FIG. 2. The shape of the Head can be square or rectangular. The size can vary from approximately 4?6 and up to 6?6 inches. The thickness or depth of the square or rectangular Head is approximately one-quarter to one-inch thick. Three sides of the Head are straight, but the front side has three or more concave grooves, each approximately one-inch wide and two-inches deep. The grooves are used to guide the shaft of the pool cue while angling for the perfect pool shot. The square or rectangular Head in FIG. 2 lays flat on top of the Rotating Ball Joint Connector illustrated in FIG. 3.

Rotating Ball Joint Connector: (Middle Embodiment)

(8) The middle embodiment of the Bragg Bridge is the Rotating Ball Joint Connector illustrated in FIG. 3. This ball jointed swiveling devise is attached to the center of the square or rectangular Head in FIG. 2, and allows the head to swivel and tilt in various directions, achieving up to 360% angles. The Rotating Ball Joint Connector in FIG. 3, allows the bridge head to tilt and swivel into the position the pool player desires for that perfect pool shot.

Telescopic Leg with Tripod Feet: (Lower Embodiment)

(9) The telescopic leg with tripod feet illustrated in FIG. 4, is a height adjustable single leg with 3 feet extended out for support. This lower embodiment FIG. 4, allows the Head FIG. 2, to be adjusted anywhere from 4 to 10 inches in height, while the tripod feet keep the bridge stable on top of the pool table.
