Description: |
| Most of the patents prior to 1836 were lost in the Dec. 1836 fire. Only about 2,000 of the almost 10,000 documents were recovered. Little is known about this patent. There are no patent drawings available. This patent is in the database for reference only.
“For improved Cushions for Billiard Tables; Abraham Bassford, city of New York, July 20.
Gum elastic, or India rubber, is to be cut into pieces of about an inch square. These are to be fastened to the cushion rail with glue or cement. Great care must be taken that the faces of the pieces are made with perfect truth. The India rubber is afterwards to be covered with leather, webbing, and green cloth. The claim is to the gum elastic stuffing for the cushions of billiard tables.”
