Abstract (en)

Billiard ball box for containing a number of billiard balls, able to be closed at the game ends, only if each ball (26a-p) is placed back in the relevant recess (24a-p) of a tray contained in the box. A locking mechanism, consisting of a number of latching members (80a-p) resting on each ball, and a horizontally slidable releasing plate (92) prevent the closure of the box door (46) if at least one ball is missing. The box is provided with a timer linked to the door mechanism to determine the duration of the game and the relevant charge to be payed. <IMAGE>
