ABSTRACT:
This present invention relates to the game of pool. It is a device to rack pool balls with consistent accuracy. Throughout the history of pool-billiards, balls were racked by using a triangular or quadrilateral (9 ball) shaped rack in which the racker would place the balls within the rack and roll the rack of balls to a designated spot then lift and remove the rack to accomplish the task. In doing so, rackers would have to rely on their eyesight or judgement for a perfect alignment. This was indeed difficult to achieve because when the rack of balls were rolled over to the designated spot, the racker could not see the designated spot because the lead ball was covering the designated spot so the racker had to approximate the stop of the balls. It could be a little too forward or a little too backward. In the same motion of doing the racking, the racker might turn the rack a few degrees to the left or to the right thus giving an inaccurate alignment in a different plane. This present invention of an improved rack alleviates and eliminates the guess-work of racking the balls. This is accomplished by utilizing said balls rack with a T-square means attached as one unit.
