ABSTRACT:
A combination billiard rack convertible between two game configuration, such as a 15-ball configuration and a 9-ball configuration. The rack includes two side members and a base member that cooperate to form a substantially equilateral triangle defining an interior area in a plane of the rack capable of receiving and racking a plurality of billiard balls. Pivotal arms are provided on each of the side members. Each is pivotal about one fixed end at a location proximate a midpoint of each side member for pivotal movement about the fixed end in the plane of the rack. The pivotal arms are pivotal between a first position in which each pivotal arm is parallel with corresponding side members and a second position located within said interior area in which the pivotal arms are non-parallel with corresponding side members and act with the side members and base member to form an internal area of a size smaller than the first configuration. One or more biased movable arms can be provided on the base member to allow fuller motion of the pivotal arms. The rack is releasably lockable in either of the two configurations.
