ABSTRACT:
A pool table having a gravity fed ball return system with a ball return compartment positioned beneath the playing surface thereof is combined with a self-powered electrical light. Broadly, the light includes a light bulb disposed within the ball return compartment and an electrical circuit for selectively energizing the bulb. The bulb is powered by at least one dry cell battery supported by the pool table. Embodiments of the inventive light having bulbs of both incandescent and fluorescent types are illustrated. One embodiment includes an incandescent bulb which may be selectively energized by axial movement of a metallic rod within a housing secured to the pool table. The second embodiment of the light, including the fluorescent bulb, is provided with an electrical, pushbutton switch mounted upon the side of the pool table for selectively energizing the bulb.
