ABSTRACT:
A cue tipper 42 for a stick 33 includes a positioner 44 having in a side 47, a cavity 48 centered around a preferred assembly axis V--V and facing toward a stick holder 54. Holder 54 has a device 56 to clamp a cue stick so a planar free end 35 faces cavity 48 and its centerline C-S coincides with the assembly axis V--V. A mover system 60 has a guide pin 62 affixed to holder 54 and extended slidably through positioner 44. A mover pin 64 is connected to positioner 42 and is threadably engaged to holder 54. In operation, a tip 20 has a planar end 26 contacted to the free end 35 of stick 33 and the positioner 44 and holder 54 are moved together by system 60. Cavity 48 engages primarily a desired dome 30 of a cap 22 on the tip 20and tip 20 is moved laterally and rotatively as required normal to assembly axis V--V until base plane 29 of dome 30 is made normal to axis V--V and dome centerline C-D coincides with axis V--V in a disposition preferred by pool players. A tip 20 is so assembled to a cue stick 33 even through the tip 20 is initially provided with a cap 22 which is tilted with respect to its planar end 26.
