1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a billiard equipment storage structure, and more particularly to a storage structure that can be folded and suspended to hide under a billiard table, in which billiard equipment can be received neatly, thereby saving storage space and protecting billiard equipment completely and being convent to take them out for play.
2. Background
Generally speaking, billiard is a popular leisure entertainment and game; it is because a novice can handle it very quickly. A player can play it by themselves only, or with other persons such that it is a favorite game for most people.
In billiard, accessories such as talcum powder bags, chalks, racks and cue rests are needed besides fundamental articles such as billiard table, balls and billiard cues. However, the current conventionally structured balls, cues and etc are mostly laid aside while being not in use, causing the articles to be lost easily, or needing to build cue rests and prepare a case or receptacle to receive them. Therefore, the main defect thereof is that it consumes space.
In addition, the current cut rests may be roughly divided into two types, i.e. Foot-mounted type and suspension type, and cue placing manners may be divided into a hole passing-through type and press-in type. No matter what type it is, whether a billiard cue is curved and deformed while being placed in a cue rest depends on the quality of the design of the cue rest structure. The axis of a billiard cue must be kept at a very high precision without any curved deformation, otherwise the accuracy of ball shot will be influenced, because the billiard cue is an important required tool in billiard. Therefore, it is necessary to have a well-managed and meticulous planning to a billiard cue rest.
To improve the defects of conventional structure mentioned above, the present invention is proposed.
The present invention mainly proposes a billiard equipment storage structure, mainly comprising:
a bearing bracket, having a receiving space with a hand pulling portion, and
a foldable extension mechanism, having two movable frames opposite to each other, each movable frame having a upper fixing plate, foldable stretching arm, and a lower fixing plate coupled to each other in sequence, the fixing plate being configured under a billiard table and the lower fixing plate being connected to the bearing bracket.
Whereby, the storage structure of the present invention can be folded and suspended to hide under a billiard table, allowing billiard equipment to be received neatly so as to saving storing space, and achieving the protection of billiard equipment and the convenience of taking billiard equipment out for play.
The present invention can be more fully understood by reference to the following description and accompanying drawings, in which:
Referring to
The bearing bracket 2 has a receiving space 21 with a hand pulling portion 20, where a fixing seat 22 is respectively configured distantly on two sides inside the receiving space 21, where a transverse plate 23 is configured between the two fixing seats 22. A plurality of circular holes 231 for receiving billiard balls 91 are disposed on the transverse plate 23 as
A foldable extension mechanism 3 includes two movable frames 30 opposite to each other, where each movable frame 30 has a upper fixing plate 31, a foldable stretching arm 32 and a lower fixing plate 33 connected to each other in sequence. The upper fixing plate 31 for locking under a billiard table 90 is a rectangular plate as
Furthermore, the foldable stretching arm 32 may further comprise a main arm 321 and an auxiliary arm 325, where the main arm 321 has a long rod 322 with one end thereof coupled to the lower fixing plate 33 and another end thereof coupled pivotally to one end of a short rod 323, and another end of the short rod 323 is coupled to a cushion cylinder shaft 324 and configured on the upper fixing plate 31. The auxiliary arm 325 is parallel to the main arm 321, one end thereof is coupled pivotally to the upper fixing plate 31 and another end thereof is coupled pivotally to the lower fixing plate 33. Furthermore, cross rods 326, 327 are respectively configured between the two auxiliary arms 325 and between the two long rods 322, and respectively coupled thereto.
Thereupon, the storage structure 1 of the present invention can be folded and suspended to hide under the billiard table so as to save storage space while being not in use as
Referring to
Therefore, it is convenient to pull out the bearing bracket 2 to place the separated billiard cue 95 in the engagement grooves 241, the billiard balls 93 in the circular holes 231, and the rack 93, chalks, talcum powder bags and etc respectively in the receiving space 21 after a billiard game is over, and the bearing bracket 2 is pushed back to hide under the billiard table 90, thereby receiving them neatly, completely and protectively. Vice versa, the bearing bracket 2 is pulled out again and the billiard equipment can be taken out one by one easily when a billiard game begins such that the present invention is convenient in operation.
Additional advantages and modifications will readily occur to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the invention in its broader aspects is not limited to the specific details and representative embodiments shown and described herein. Accordingly, various modifications may be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the general inventive concept as defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
