ABSTRACT:
A joint system for cue sticks. The system includes a joining member, a sleeve, and a receiving member. The cue stick shaft is prepared by drilling and tapping therein a centered threaded bore extending inwardly along a longitudinal axis from a center end face which is transverse to the longitudinal axis. The cue stick handle is similarly prepared. The joining member is preferably integrally formed or machined from a single solid part, and includes a pin portion and a smaller stud portion with a transverse oriented transition portion therebetween preferably shaped as an annular face portion. The pin portion has an externally threaded engagement portion adapted to securely locate the joining member, in the threaded bore in the cue stick shaft. The stud portion extends along the longitudinal axis outward from the pin portion, and has, at the distal end, a threaded locking portion. A receiving member is provided to receive the stud portion. The receiving member has an open ended barrel portion with a bottom end having therein a threaded bore to receive the threaded locking portion of the stud portion. To absorb shock and to provide for compressive locking engagement, a flanged tubular plastic sleeve is provided between the outer surface of the stud portion and the inner surface of the barrel portion.
