ABSTRACT:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a score counter for billiards game and includes a bar with ridges extending at a predetermined interval so that the score blocks movably mounted to the bar and can be positioned by the ridges.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
A conventional score counter device
1
for billiards is shown in
FIGS. 1 and 2
and generally includes a bar
11
with two positioning spheres
10
on two ends of the bar
11
. Each of the sphere
10
has a passage
101
defined therethrough so as to be cooperated with relative fixture of the billiard appliance. A plurality of score blocks
2
are slidably mounted on the bar
11
and each block
2
has a score marked on the block
2
. Score counting persons slide the blocks
2
to illustrate scores that players own. Although the bar
11
is installed in horizontal, the blocks
2
each have a hole
20
through which the bar
11
extends, the hole
20
in each block
2
is slightly larger than the bar
11
so that the blocks
2
tend to slide along the bar
11
when a force is applied to the blocks
2
. It is not convenient for the score counting persons to position the blocks
2
.
The present invention intends to provide a score counter for billiards wherein the bar has ridges extending from an outside of the bar and the blocks each have a hole through which the bar extends. The size of the hole allows the blocks to a pass over the ridges by force and each block is positioned between ridges.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a score counter comprising a bar having two spheres on either ends thereof so that the bar is fixed by the two spheres. A plurality of retaining members extend from an outside of the bar and a plurality of blocks are slidably mounted on the bar. Each block has a hole defined therethrough for the bar extending through the holes. The blocks are separated by the retaining members on the bar and the blocks can be slid along the bar by moving the blocks over the retaining members with force.
The object of the present invention is to provide a score counter for billiards wherein the bar has retaining members on an outside of the bar so that the blocks cannot slide along the bar freely.
These and further objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more obvious from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings which show, for purposes of illustration only, several embodiments in accordance with the present invention.
