ABSTRACT:
A rack assembly for use in racking billiard balls on a billiards table. The rack assembly has a racking frame made of rail elements that define a periphery of a given shape into which the pool balls are to be arranged. The bottom edge of each of the rails terminates in a common plane. As such, the racking frame is capable of laying flush on the flat surface of the pool table. A rotator handle is coupled to the racking frame. The rotator handle is a rocker element having a first end, a second end and a curved surface disposed between the first end and the second end. The first end of the rocker element is joined to the racking frame. The curved surface of the rocker element intersects the plane shared by the bottom of the racking frame at a tangent. As a result, when a generally downward force is applied to the second end of the rocker element, the rocker element rocks in one direction along the curved surface. As the curved surface rolls along the surface of the pool table, the first end of the rocker element is move upwardly, thereby lifting the racking frame off of the pool table in a manner that does not disturb the pool balls contained within the racking frame.
