ABSTRACT:
A games table, particularly a coin-feed pool table, has a playing surface bounded by cushions containing pockets supported on a floor-standing housing. Within the housing the pockets are joined by channels to a ball outlet in a side wall of the housing and also to an internal ball-storing racking arrangement.
In order to avoid jamming of the balls due to dirt deposits, the channels and also the racking arrangement have edge structures along which the balls run.
The racking arrangement may comprise feed channels leading to a storage rack via an aperture through which the smaller cue ball can fall to be returned to the player if pocketed during a game. The larger object balls run over the aperture to the rack.
The channels joining the pockets with the racking arrangement may be formed by rods held together by spaced supports which may comprise annular clips having recesses which engage the rods.
