ABSTRACT:
A racking device, for racking a plurality of pool balls upon a pool table have a felt top surface, comprising a rack for containing the balls, a pressure base located above the rack, and a sweeper frame capable of relative vertical movement with respect to the rack. A plurality of sweeper pins extend vertically downward from the sweeper frame, which each selectively engage one of the pool balls. A lever causes the sweeper pins to move downward toward the balls to engage the balls and urge them toward each other. A pressure pin is associated with each of the balls, which firmly press upon the apexes of the balls to press them downward into the felt top surface so that the balls hold their positions in a tight, racked formation even after the racking device has been lifted upward and away from the balls.
